Abstract

Studies in developing animals have shown that anesthetic agents can lead to neuronal cell death and learning disabilities when administered early in life. Development of human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons has provided a valuable tool for understanding the effects of anesthetics on developing human neurons. Unbalanced mitochondrial fusion and fission lead to various pathological conditions including neurodegeneration. The aim of this study was to dissect the role of mitochondrial dynamics in propofol-induced neurotoxicity. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate in situ nick-end labeling staining was used to assess cell death in human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons. Mitochondrial fission was assessed using TOM20 staining and electron microscopy. Expression of mitochondrial fission-related proteins was assessed by Western blot, and confocal microscopy was used to assess opening time of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Exposure to 6 h of 20 μg/ml propofol increased cell death from 3.18 ± 0.17% in the control-treated group to 9.6 ± 0.95% and led to detrimental increases in mitochondrial fission (n = 5 coverslips per group) accompanied by increased expression of acti...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.
