Low-dose levodopa protects nerve cells from oxidative stress and up-regulates expression of pCREB and CD39. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the influence of low-dose levodopa (L-DOPA) on neuronal cell death under oxidative stress. METHODS: PC12 cells were treated with L-DOPA at different concentrations. We detected the L-DOPA induced reactive oxygen

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields: A Novel Attractive Therapeutic Opportunity for Neuroprotection After Acute Cerebral Ischemia

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Effects of chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl on the outgrowth of axon-like processes, tubulin, and GAP-43 in N2a cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The aim of this work was to study the neurodegenerative effects of the organophosphate (OP) pesticides chlorpyrifos (CPF) and chlorpyrifos-methyl (CHM) on cultured mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells.

Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Enhance PC12 Cell Function through the Activation of the PI3K/AKT Pathway

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2021
Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells has been considered as an auspicious treatment for repairing nerve injuries. The rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12) is one of the traditional models for the study of neuronal differentiation and ...

Dopamine and Iron Induce Apoptosis in PC12 Cells [PDF]

open access: yesPharmacology & Toxicology, 1997
Abstract:Recent studies have shown that Fe2+increases the oxidation of monoamines such as serotonin, dopamine and related toxins and that the formed oxidation products can undergo co‐valent binding to free sulphydryl groups of proteins such as actin and "serotonin binding proteins" which are present in soluble brain extracts.

Germacrone protects against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion injury by inhibiting autophagy processes in PC12 cells

open access: yesBMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2020
Background Germacrone is an anti-inflammatory ingredient in the Chinese medicine zedoary turmeric. The purpose of this study was to explore the protective mechanism of germacrone against PC12 cells injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (

Effect of oxytocin on free intracellular Ca2+ levels and progesterone release by human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Oxytocin and its receptor are found in the corpus luteum in a variety of species, including the human. In the present study we used fura-2 microfluorimetry to investigate whether activation of the oxytocin receptor of cultured human granulosa-lutein ...

Dystrophin Dp71 in PC12 cell adhesion

open access: yesNeuroReport, 2005
Previously, we reported that PC12 cells with decreased Dp71 expression (antisense-Dp71 cells) display deficient nerve-growth-factor-induced neurite outgrowth. In this study, we show that disturbed neurite outgrowth of antisense-Dp71 cells is accompanied by decreased adhesion activity on laminin, collagen and fibronectin.

Calcineurin/NFAT signaling represses genes Vamp1 and Vamp2 via PMCA-dependent mechanism during dopamine secretion by Pheochromocytoma cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:Plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCA) extrude Ca(2+) ions out of the cell and contribute to generation of calcium oscillations. Calcium signaling is crucial for transcriptional regulation of dopamine secretion by neuroendocrine PC12 cells. Low

Retention of habituation in PC12 cells. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1992
The time course of habituation and recovery of neurotransmitter release was measured in neuronally differentiated PC12 cells stimulated with either acetylcholine or ATP. The release of norepinephrine in response to either stimulant declined exponentially with repeated presentation of that stimulant. When the stimulus was withheld, the cells' ability to
