Retrograde transport of neurotrophin receptor TrkB-FL induced by excitotoxicity regulates Golgi stability and is a target for stroke neuroprotection

Cell Death and Disease
Excitotoxicity, aberrant function of survival pathways dependent on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and disruption of the Golgi complex are shared pathological hallmarks in relevant neurological diseases, including stroke.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase autoantibodies in autoantibody‐negative patients with seizures are associated with reduced pyruvate dehydrogenase activity

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We investigated the presence and potential functional relevance of antimitochondrial autoantibodies in patients suspicious for autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with psychiatric symptoms and/or seizures, who were negative for known antineuronal autoantibodies.

Neuroprotection by Mitochondrial NAD Against Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity

Cells
Excitotoxicity is a pathological process that occurs in many neurological diseases, such as stroke or epilepsy, and is characterized by the extracellular accumulation of high concentrations of glutamate or other excitatory amino acids (EAAs ...

The Role of Neuronal Pentraxin 2 (NP2) in Regulating Glutamatergic Signaling and Neuropathology

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Pentraxins are a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved proteins that are characterized by their multimeric architecture and their calcium-dependent binding.

Modeling temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis in rats using the selective neurotoxin stable substance P‐saporin

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
On day 0 adult male and female rats were injected with Stable Substance P‐Saporin (SSP‐SAP) at 4 unilateral sites along the longitudinal axis of the dentate gyrus. Rats exhibited spontaneous electrographic and behavioral reactive seizures between days 4‐6. There was a progressive loss of CA1 and CA3 neurons and a progressive increase in astrocytes over

Evaluation of the neuroprotective efficacy of the gramine derivative ITH12657 against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity in the rat retina

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate, the neuroprotective effects of a new Gramine derivative named: ITH12657, in a model of retinal excitotoxicity induced by intravitreal injection of NMDA.MethodsAdult Sprague Dawley rats received an ...

Bioenergetics and glutamate excitotoxicity

Progress in Neurobiology, 1996
Bioenergetic defects and abnormalities in glutamate neurotransmission have both been proposed to play important roles in neurological diseases of varying chronology, etiology and pathology. Recent experimental evidence suggests an intimate relationship between these two systems.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Astrocyte subtype‐specific alterations in the dentate gyrus of individuals with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and, although primarily attributed to neuronal dysfunction, increasing evidence highlights a critical role of glial cells, particularly astrocytes, in the pathophysiological mechanisms.

Neurotrophic Properties of C-Terminal Domain of the Heavy Chain of Tetanus Toxin on Motor Neuron Disease

Toxins, 2020
The carboxyl-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin (Hc-TeTx) exerts a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative diseases via the activation of signaling pathways related to neurotrophins, and also through inhibiting apoptotic cell death ...
