Cultures of chicken day 8 embryo retinal cells, essentially free of contaminating non-neuronal elements, were used to examine the neurotoxicity of various excitatory amino acid transmitter receptor agonists. At 7 days in vitro, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), following 24 hr exposure to 0.1-1.0 mM, des
Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a secreted heparin-binding cytokine that signals diverse functions, including lineage-specific differentiation of glial progenitor cells, axonal outgrowth and angiogenesis. Neurotoxicity mediated by glutamate receptor is thought to play a role in various neurodegenerative disor
We previously reported that mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons are resistant to cytotoxicity induced by nitric oxide (NO). This study investigated the intracellular mechanism that protects dopaminergic neurons against NO toxicity in rat mesencephalic cultures. Peroxynitrite anion, an active metaboli
Overstimulation of ionotropic glutamate receptors leads to excitotoxic neuronal death, which has been implicated in the neurodegeneration of neurological diseases. The present study examined the role of putative low-affinity kainate receptor subtype (GluR5-7) agonists in excitotoxicity in cultured m
The neurotoxic actions of kainate and domoate were studied in cultured murine neocortical neurons at various days in culture and found to be developmentally regulated involving three components of neurotoxicity: (1) toxicity via indirect activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, (2) toxic
