The Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor, a Target for Protection and Regeneration of the Peripheral Nervous System?

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Preclinical evidence, accumulated over the past decade, indicates that the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) stimulation exerts significant neuroprotective effects in various animal models of neuronal injury, notably in the central nervous system ...

Ramipril Alleviates Oxaliplatin-Induced Acute Pain Syndrome in Mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Oxaliplatin is a key drug for colorectal cancer that causes OXP-induced peripheral neuropathy, a dose-limiting effect characterized by cold and tactile hyperesthesia.

Ceruloplasmin deletion in myelinating glial cells induces myelin disruption and oxidative stress in the central and peripheral nervous systems

Redox Biology, 2021
Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a ferroxidase enzyme that is essential for cell iron efflux and has been postulated to have a neuroprotective role. During the myelination process, oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) express high levels of Cp, but the ...

Deletion of voltage-gated calcium channels in astrocytes decreases neuroinflammation and demyelination in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
The experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis was used in combination with a Cav1.2 conditional knock-out mouse (Cav1.2KO) to study the role of astrocytic voltage-gated Ca++ channels in autoimmune CNS inflammation and ...

Overview of myelin, major myelin lipids, and myelin-associated proteins

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Myelin is a modified cell membrane that forms a multilayer sheath around the axon. It retains the main characteristics of biological membranes, such as lipid bilayer, but differs from them in several important respects.

Lanthionine Ketimine Ethyl Ester Accelerates Remyelination in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis

ASN Neuro, 2022
Although over 20 disease modifying therapies are approved to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS), these do not increase remyelination of demyelinated axons or mitigate axon damage.

Proteome Profile of Myelin in the Zebrafish Brain

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The velocity of nerve conduction along vertebrate axons depends on their ensheathment with myelin. Myelin membranes comprise specialized proteins well characterized in mice.

Myelination of parvalbumin interneurons shapes the function of cortical sensory inhibitory circuits

Nature Communications, 2020
Myelination optimizes conduction speed of excitatory neurons. However, whether myelination of interneurons (INs) refines cortical networks is unclear.

Symptomatic care of late-onset Alexander disease presenting with area postrema-like syndrome with prednisolone; a case report

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background Alexander disease (AxD) is classified into AxD type I (infantile) and AxD type II (juvenile and adult form). We aimed to determine the potential genetic cause(s) contributing to the AxD type II manifestations in a 9-year-old male who presented
