In the present study, we observed chronological changes of antioxidant-like protein 1 (AOP-1) in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 region after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia using immunohistochemistry and western blot. AOP-1 was significantly altered in the CA1 region after transient ischemia. In the sham-operated group, AOP-1 immunoreactivity was detected in pyramidal and non-pyramidal cells of the CA1 region. At 30 min after ischemic insult, AOP-1 immunoreactivity and protein level was decreased in the CA1 region. At 12 h after ischemic insult, AOP-1 immunoreactivity and protein level was highest in this region. At this time, after ischemia, AOP-1 immunoreactivity in non-pyramidal cells was high compared to the sham-operated group. Based on double immunofluorescence study, AOP-1-immunoreactive neurons were identified as GABAergic, which were stained with GAD or parvalbumin. Thereafter, AOP-1 immunoreactivity and protein levels were decreased time-dependently. From 4 days after ischemic insult, AOP 1 immunoreactivity was generally expressed in astrocytes. Five days after ischemic insult, AOP-1 immunoreactivity and protein level was increased again to 1.4 folds compared to that of the sham-operated group. In brief, AOP-1 immunoreactivity was increased in GABAergic non-pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region at early time after ischemic insult and was expressed in astrocytes at late time after ischemia. This result suggests that AOP-1 may be important role in homeostasis of GABAergic neurons because these neurons are resistant to ischemic damage. 相似文献

In this study, we observed the chronological alterations of neurofilament 150 (NF-150) immunoreactivity in the gerbil hippocampus and dentate gyrus after 5 min transient forebrain ischemia. NF-150 immunoreactivity in the sham-operated group was mainly detected in mossy fibers and in the hilar region of the dentate gyrus. NF-150 immunoreactivity and protein contents of NF-150 and RT 97 (polyphosphorylation epitopes of neurofilament) were significantly decreased at 15 min after ischemic insult. Between 30 min and 12 h after ischemic insult, NF-150 immunoreactivity and protein content were significantly increased as compared with the sham-operated group. Thereafter, NF-150 immunoreactivity and protein content started to decrease. At 12 h after ischemic insult, unlike dentate gyrus, NF-150 immunoreactivity increased in pyramidal cells of the CA1 region. Thereafter, NF-150 immunoreactivity in the CA1 region started to decrease, and 4 days after ischemic insult, NF-150 immunoreactivity nearly was similar to that of the sham-operated group. These biphasic patterns of NF-150 immunoreactivity in the hippocampus and dentate gyrus are reverse correlated with that of the intracellular calcium influx. For calcium detection in the CA1 region, we also conducted alizarin red staining. Alizarin red positive neurons were detected in some neurons at 15-30 min after ischemic insult. At 12 h after ischemia, alizarin red positive neurons were decreased. Thereafter, alizarin red positive neurons started to decrease, but alizarin positive neurons were significantly increased in dying neurons 4 days after ischemia. These results suggest that ischemia-related changes of NF-150 expression may be caused by the calcium following transient forebrain ischemia. 相似文献

Chromogranin A, chromogranin B, and secretogranin II are acidic proteins which are stored in large dense core vesicles of neurons. An antiserum, raised against a synthetic peptide (PE-11), present in the chromogranin B molecule, and an antiserum raised against secretoneurin contained in the secretogranin II sequence, was used to localize these peptides together with chromogranin A in the human hippocampal formation. The distribution of these peptides was investigated in Alzheimer's disease and compared to control subjects. Chromogranin A, chromogranin B, and secretogranin II are distinctly distributed with an overlap in their distribution patterns. They were only detected in neuronal structures. The highest density of immunoreactivity was found for chromogranin B. A layer specific distribution was especially obvious in the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus as secretoneurin-like immunoreactivity was restricted to its innermost part whereas that of chromogranin B was highly concentrated throughout the inner molecular layer. In Alzheimer's disease, about 10 to 20% of the amyloid-immunoreactive plaques contained either chromogranin A, chromogranin B or secretoneurin. The density of secretoneurin-and chromogranin B-like immunoreactivity was significantly reduced in the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyyrs, the CA1 area, the subiculum and in layers I, III and V of the entorhinal cortex. The present study demonstrates that chromogranin peptides are markers for human hippocampal pathways. Thee are particularly suitable to study nerve fibers, terminating at the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. Chromogranin peptides have a potential as neuronal markers for synaptic degeneration in Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated chronological changes of galanin (GAL), well known as the potassium channel opener, immunoreactivity and GAL protein level in the hippocampus of the gerbil at the various times after 5 min transient forebrain ischemia. In the sham-operated group, weak GAL immunoreactivity was found in non-pyramidal cells. At 12 h after ischemia-reperfusion, the number of GAL-immunoreactive neurons and GAL immunoreactivity were significantly increased in the hippocampus compared to 3 h after ischemic insult, especially in the hippocampal CA1 region. Thereafter the number of GAL-immunoreactive neurons and GAL immunoreactivity decrease time-dependently in the hippocampus. Four days after transient ischemia, GAL immunoreactivity was low as compared with the sham-operated group. At this time point after ischemic insult, GAL immunoreactivity was shown in microglia in the CA1 region because delayed neuronal death happened in the CA1 pyramidal cells. The result of Western blot showed the pattern of GAL expression similar to that of immunohistochemical data. These results suggest that the early increase of GAL in the CA1 pyramidal cells may be associated with the reduction of the excitotoxic damage, that long-lasting enhanced expression of endogenous GAL at 12 h-2 days after ischemia may be associated with efflux of potassium ion into the extracellular space, and that GAL expression in microglia 4 days after ischemia may be associated with reduction of ischemic damage. 相似文献

As members of the chromogranin family, chromogranin A, chromogranin B, and secretogranin II are acidic proteins found in large, dense core vesicles. They are endoproteolytically processed to smaller peptides and released after neuronal stimulation. Using immunocytochemistry, this study closely examines chromogranin B-like immunoreactivity within the human brainstem and then takes a comparative view of co-distribution patterns by chromogranin B, chromogranin A, and secretogranin II. We used an antiserum raised against a synthetic peptide (PE-11) present in the chromogranin B molecule. Secretogranin II was localized with an antiserum against secretoneurin, a 33 amino acid peptide, found within the secretogranin II precursor. Like chromogranin A and secretoneurin, chromogranin B is expressed through all levels of the human brainstem. Chromogranin B was exclusively detected in neuronal structures. The medial part of the substantia nigra pars reticulata, the nucleus interpeduncularis, the area of the central gray, and the raphe complex displayed a high density of PE-11-like immunoreactivity. Furthermore, a prominent staining was found in the medial, dorsal and gelatinous subnuclei of the solitary tract and the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus. The substantia gelatinosa of the caudal trigeminal nucleus and spinal cord were also very strongly PE-11-immunopositive. In conclusion, chromogranin B and secretogranin II showed similar distributions while neuronal localization typically differed from chromogranin A aside from a few exceptions. These findings may provide a framework for future research in revealing a functional role of chromogranin peptides in the human brainstem. 相似文献

Ischemic preconditioning elicited by a non-fatal brief occlusion of blood flow has been applied for an experimental therapeutic strategy against a subsequent fatal ischemic insult. In this study, we investi-gated the neuroprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (2-minute transient cerebral ischemia) on calbindin D28k immunoreactivity in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 area following a subsequent fatal tran-sient ischemic insult (5-minute transient cerebral ischemia). A large number of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area died 4 days after 5-minute transient cerebral ischemia. Ischemic preconditioning reduced the death of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area. Calbindin D28k immunoreactivity was greatly attenuated at 2 days after 5-minute transient cerebral ischemia and it was hardly detected at 5 days post-ischemia. Ischemic preconditioning maintained calbindin D28k immunoreactivity after transient cerebral ischemia. These findings suggest that ischemic preconditioning can attenuate transient cerebral ischemia-caused damage to the pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area through maintaining cal-bindin D28k immunoreactivity. 相似文献

In the present study, ischemia-related changes in tyrosine kinase A (trkA) and phosphacan/protein tyrosine phosphatase-zeta/beta (PTP-zeta/beta) immunoreactivities and protein contents were examined in the hippocampus proper after transient forebrain ischemia for 5 min in a gerbil model. Our investigations showed that ischemia-induced changes occurred in trkA immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 region, but not in the CA2/3 region of the hippocampus proper. In the sham-operated group, trkA immunoreactivity was barely detectable. trkA immunoreactivity increased from 30 min after ischemia and peaked at 12 h. Four days after ischemic insult, trkA immunoreactivity was observed in GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes in the strata oriens and radiatum. In addition, we found that ischemia-related changes in trkA protein content were similar to immunohistochemical changes. On the other hand, PTP-zeta/beta immunoreactivities in the hippocampus proper were unaltered by forebrain ischemia. These results suggest that chronological changes of trkA after transient forebrain ischemia may be associated with an ischemic damage compensatory mechanism in CA1 pyramidal cells. 相似文献

In the present study, we observed the changes of endogenous expression of glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase) in the gerbil hippocampus after transient forebrain ischemia and investigated the correlation between GDNF and PI-3 kinase in the ischemic hippocampus. In the sham-operated group, GDNF and PI-3 kinase immunoreactivity was not found in any cells in the hippocampal CA1 region. GDNF, not PI-3 kinase, immunoreactivity was expressed in non-pyramidal cells in the CA1 region at 6 h after ischemic insult. At 12-24 h after ischemia, GDNF and PI-3 kinase immunoreactivity in the CA1 region was similar to that of the sham-operated group. From 2 days after ischemic insult, GDNF- and PI-3-kinase-immunoreactive astrocytes were detected in the CA1 region, and GDNF and PI-3 kinase immunoreactivity in astrocytes was highest in the CA1 region 4 days after ischemic insult. Moreover, at this time point, GDNF and PI-3 kinase were co-localized in some astrocytes. Western blotting showed that ischemia-related changes of GDNF and PI-3 kinase protein levels were similar to the immunohistochemical changes after ischemia. These results suggest that GDNF and PI-3 kinase may be related to delayed neuronal death and that GDNF and PI-3 kinase may be involved in activation of astrocytes. 相似文献

Summary: Purpose : Chromogranins are neuropeptide precursors stored in large dense core vesicles. Because physiological functions have been postulated for peptides originating from chromogranins, we investigated the distribution of chromogranins A and B and secretoneurin (a peptide derived from secretogranin II) in the control and epileptic hippocampus of humans and rats.
Methods : Chromogranin immunoreactivity (IR) was investigated in paraformaldehyde-fixed hippocampal specimens from 24 temporal lobe epilepsy patients with intractable seizures, postmortem from 15 patients deceased from nonneurological disorders, in rats 30 days after kainate-induced limbic seizures, and in control rats.
Results : In control rats and in humans, chromogranin A and B IR and secretoneurin IR were present in mossy fibers. In addition, chromogranin B IR was found in granule cells, and chromogranin A IR was found in granule and CA2 pyramidal cells in the human hippocampus. In both species, chromogranin B and secretoneurin were unevenly distributed in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. The most intriguing change seen in human temporal lobe epilepsy specimens and in the kainic acid model of the rat was the prominent staining of the inner molecular layer, indicating storage of chromogranins A and B and secretoneurin in terminals of reorganized mossy fibers, from which they may be released upon nerve stimulation.
Conclusion : Chromogranins A and B and secretoneurin are valid markers for hippocampal neurons and delineate epilepsy-induced reorganization of mossy fibers. 相似文献

The present study examined ischemia-related changes in tyrosine kinase A (trkA) immunoreactivity and its protein content in the dentate gyrus after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. One day after ischemic insult, cresyl violet-positive polymorphic cells showed ischemic degeneration. The ischemia-induced changes in trkA immunoreactivity were found in the polymorphic layer (PL) and granule cell layer (GCL) of the dentate gyrus. In the sham-operated group, trkA immunoreactivity in the dentate gyrus was very weak. From 30 min after ischemia, trkA immunoreactivity was increased in the dentate gyrus and peaked in the dentate gyrus at 12 h after ischemia-reperfusion. Thereafter, trkA immunoreactivity was decreased time-dependently after ischemia-reperfusion. Four days after ischemic insult, trkA immunoreactivity was similar to that of the sham-operated group. In addition, it was found that ischemia-related changes in trkA protein content were similar to the immunohistochemical changes. These results suggest that the chronological changes of trkA in the dentate gyrus after transient forebrain ischemia may be associated with ischemic damage in polymorphic cells of the dentate gyrus. 相似文献

Repeated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) exposure prior to ischemia has been reported to provide neuroprotection against ischemic brain injury. The present study examined the time course of neuroprotection of HBO (3.5 atmosphere absolute, 100% oxygen, 1 h for 5 consecutive days) and the changes of gene/protein expression in rats. First, at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 72 h after HBO sessions, rats were subjected to forebrain ischemia (8 min). Histopathological examination of hippocampal CA1 neurons was done 7 days after ischemia. Second, temporal genomic responses and protein expression were examined at the same time points after HBO sessions without subjecting animals to ischemia. HBO significantly reduced loss of hippocampal CA1 neurons that normally follows transient forebrain ischemia when the last HBO session was 6 h, 12 h, or 24 h before ischemia (survived neurons 55%, 75%, and 53%, respectively), whereas if there was a 72-h delay before the ischemic insult, HBO was not protective (survived neurons only 6%). Statistical analysis on microarray data showed significant upregulation in 60 probe sets including 7 annotated genes (p75NTR, C/EBPdelta, CD74, Edg2, Trip10, Nrp1, and Igf2), whose time course expressions corresponded to HBO-induced neuroprotection. The protein levels of p75NTR, C/EBPdelta, and CD74 were significantly increased (maximum fold changes 2.9, 2.0, and 7.9, respectively). The results suggest that HBO-induced neuroprotection against ischemic injury has time window, protective at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h but not protective at 72 h. Although the precise interaction is to be determined, the genes/proteins relevant to neurotrophin and inflammatory-immune system may be involved in HBO-induced neuroprotection. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins act as molecular chaperones and are involved in protein folding, refolding, transport, and translocation. In the present study, we observed changes in heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) immunoreactivity and protein level in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 region after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia and its neuroprotective effect against ischemic damage. HSP60 immunoreactivity in the CA1 region began to increase in the stratum pyramidale at 30 min after ischemia/reperfusion, and peaked 24 h after ischemia/reperfusion. Thereafter, HSP60 immunoreactivity was decreased in the CA1 region with time. Seven days after ischemia/reperfusion, HSP60 immunoreactivity was increased again in the CA1 region: at this time point after ischemia/reperfusion, HSP60 immunoreactivity was expressed in glial cells in the ischemic CA1 region. HSP60 immunoreactive glial cells were astrocytes containing glial fibrillar acidic protein. In contrast, change in HSP60 immunoreactivity in the ischemic CA2/3 region was not significant compared with that in the ischemic CA1 region. In Western blot study, HSP60 protein level in the CA1 region was increased after ischemia/reperfusion and highest 24 h after ischemia/reperfusion. Animals treated with recombinant adenoviruses expressing Hsp60 (Ad-Hsp60) showed the neuroprotection of CA1 pyramidal neurons from ischemic damage. These results suggest that HSP60 may be associated with delayed neuronal death of CA1 pyramidal neurons after transient ischemia, and the induction of HSP60 protects the neurons from ischemic damage. 相似文献

Summary Brief, non-lethal transient forebrain ischemia in the gerbil can injure selectively vulnerable neurons when such ischemia is induced repeatedly. The influence of the number and interval of the ischemic insults on neuronal damage, as well as the time course of damage, following repeated 2-min forebrain ischemia were examined. A single 2-min forebrain ischemia were examined. A single 2-min ischemic insult caused no morphological neuronal damage. A moderate number of hippocampal CA1 neurons were destroyed following two ischemic insults with a 1-h interval, and destruction of almost all CA1 neurons resulted from three or five insults at 1-h intervals. Three and five insults also resulted in moderate to severe damage to the striatum and thalamus, depending on the number of episodes. Although three ischemic insults at 1-h intervals caused severe neuronal damage, this number of insults at 5-min and 4-h intervals caused destruction of relatively few neurons, and non neurons were destroyed at 12-h intervals. Following three ischemic insults at 1-h intervals, damage to the striatum, neocortex, hippocampal CA4 subfield and thalamus was observed at 6–24 h of survival, whereas damage to the hippocampal CA1 subfield appeared at 2–4 days. The results indicate that even a brief non-lethal ischemic insult can produce severe neuronal damage in selectively vulnerable regions when it is induced repeatedly at a certain interval. The severity of neuronal damage was dependent on the number and interval of ischemic episodes. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase (AC) has a specific sensitivity to Ca2+/calmodulin. AC-I, one of the mediator of learning and memory, plays an important role in signal transduction underlying learning and memory function. In the present study, we found ischemia-related changes of AC-I in the hippocampal CA1 region, but not in the CA2/3 region, after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. In the sham-operated group, AC-I immunoreactive neurons were detected in pyramidal and non-pyramidal cells in the hippocampus proper. AC-I immunoreactivity was significantly increased at 3 h in the CA1 region after ischemic insult. Thereafter, AC-I immunoreactivity was gradually decreased. Four days after ischemic insult, AC-I-immunoreactive CA1 pyramidal cells in the stratum pyramidale were very few due to delayed neuronal death. The results of Western blot analysis showed that changes of AC-I protein contents were similar to immunohistochemical data after ischemic insult. Gpp(NH)p-dependent AC-I activity in hippocampal CA1 region was not changed in all groups, while Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent AC-I activity in hippocampal CA1 region was significantly decreased 24 h after ischemia–reperfusion. These results suggest that the decrease of AC-I activity may be associated with impairment of neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity including learning and memory although the AC-I immunoreactivity was maintained 24 h postischemic group compared to that of the sham-operated group. 相似文献

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a condition of sublethal transient global ischemia and exhibits neuro-protective effects against subsequent lethal ischemic insult. We, in this study, examined the neuroprotective effects of IPC and its effects on immunoreactive changes of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD) 1 and SOD2, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 region after transient forebrain ischemia. Pyramidal neurons of the stratum pyramidale (SP) in the hippocampal CA1 region of animals died 5 days after lethal transient ischemia without IPC (8.6%(ratio of remanent neurons) of the sham-operated group);however, IPC prevented the pyramidal neurons from subsequent lethal ischemic injury (92.3%(ratio of remanent neurons) of the sham-operated group). SOD1, SOD2, CAT and GPX immunoreactivities in the sham-operated animals were easily detected in pyramidal neurons in the stratum pyramidale (SP) of the hippocampal CA1 region, while all of these immunoreac-tivities were rarely detected in the stratum pyramidale at 5 days after lethal transient ischemia without IPC. Meanwhile, their immunoreactivities in the sham-operated animals with IPC were similar to (SOD1, SOD2 and CAT) or higher (GPX) than those in the sham-operated animals without IPC. Furthermore, their immunoreactivities in the stratum pyramidale of the ischemia-operated animals with IPC were steadily maintained after lethal ischemia/reperfusion. Results of western blot analysis for SOD1, SOD2, CAT and GPX were similar to immunohistochemical data. In conclusion, IPC maintained or increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes in the stratum pyramidale of the hippocampal CA1 region after subsequent lethal transient forebrain ischemia and IPC exhibited neuroprotective effects in the hippocampal CA1 region against transient forebrain ischemia. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor p63 is one of p53 family members and plays a vital role as a regulator of neuronal apoptosis in the development of the nervous system. However, the role of p63 in mature neuronal death has not been addressed yet. In this study, we first compared ischemia-induced effects on p63 expression in the hippocampal regions (CA1–3) between the young and adult gerbils subjected to 5 minutes of transient global cerebral ischemia. Neuronal death in the hippocampal CA1 region of young gerbils was significantly slow compared with that in the adult gerbils after transient global cerebral ischemia. p63 immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in the sham-operated young group was significantly low compared with that in the sham-operated adult group. p63 immunoreactivity was apparently changed in ischemic hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in both ischemia-operated young and adult groups. In the ischemia-operated adult groups, p63 immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons was significantly decreased at 4 days post-ischemia; however, p63 immunoreactivity in the ischemia-operated young group was significantly higher than that in the ischemia-operated adult group. At 7 days post-ischemia, p63 immunoreactivity was decreased in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in both ischemia-operated young and adult groups. Change patterns of p63 level in the hippocampal CA1 region of adult and young gerbils after ischemic damage were similar to those observed in the immunohistochemical results. These findings indicate that higher and longer-term expression of p63 in the hippocampal CA1 region of the young gerbils after ischemia/reperfusion may be related to more delayed neuronal death compared to that in the adults. 相似文献

Brief forebrain ischemia is a model of the delayed hippocampal neuronal loss seen in patients following cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Previous studies demonstrated that selective dysfunction of hippocampal CA1 subregion astrocytes occurs hours to days before delayed neuronal death. In this study we tested the strategy of directing protection to astrocytes to protect neighboring neurons from forebrain ischemia. Two well‐studied protective proteins, heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) or superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), were genetically targeted for expression in astrocytes using the astrocyte‐specific human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter. The expression constructs were injected stereotacticly immediately above the hippocampal CA1 region on one side of the rat brain two days prior to forebrain ischemia. Cell type specific expression was confirmed by double label immunohistochemistry. When the expression constructs were injected two days before transient forebrain ischemia, the loss of CA1 hippocampal neurons observed seven days later was significantly reduced on the injected side compared with controls. This neuroprotection was associated with significantly better preservation of astrocyte glutamate transporter‐1 immunoreactivity at 5‐h reperfusion and reduced oxidative stress. Improving the resistance of astrocytes to ischemic stress by targeting either the cytosolic or mitochondrial compartment was thus associated with preservation of CA1 neurons following forebrain ischemia. Targeting astrocytes is a promising strategy for neuronal preservation following cardiac arrest and resuscitation. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We investigated the neuroprotective effects of a novel 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (pitavastatin) on ischemic neuronal damage in gerbils using immunohistochemistry. The animals were allowed to survive for 14 days after 5 min of ischemia induced by bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries. Five days after ischemia, severe neuronal cell loss was observed in the hippocampal CA1 sector. Prophylactic treatment with pitavastatin dose-dependently prevented the hippocampal CA1 neuronal cell loss 5 days after ischemia. Immunohistochemical study did not show the change of nNOS and iNOS expression in the hippocampus except for, in a few regions, up to 1 day after ischemia. Thereafter, the expression of iNOS was observed in the hippocampal CA1 sector 5 and 14 days after ischemia. In contrast, the expression of nNOS and eNOS gradually decreased in the hippocampal CA1 sector up to 14 days after ischemia. Prophylactic treatment with pitavastatin also prevented the expression of iNOS and the decrease of eNOS expression and the number of nNOS-positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 sector 5 days after ischemia. However, prophylactic treatment with pitavastatin at a dose of 10 mg kg(-1) did not change the immunoreactivity of iNOS and nNOS in the hippocampus at an early phase after ischemia. In contrast, this drug prevented the reduction of eNOS immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 neurons at an early phase after ischemia. These findings demonstrate that the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor pitavastatin can protect hippocampal CA1 neurons after transient forebrain ischemia through up-regulation of eNOS expression in this region. Thus pharmacological modulation of eNOS expression may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for cerebral ischemic stroke. 相似文献
