Abstract

Administration of glutamate (100 microM) to primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons for 1 h led to calpain I activation as determined by monitoring the extent of spectrin breakdown with the antibodies designed to specifically recognize the calpain I-mediated spectrin breakdown products. Based on the studies with subtype selective antagonists of glutamate receptors, glutamate caused calpain I activation specifically through the activation of the NMDA receptor. In parallel experiments, the magnitude and the temporal profiles of Ca2+ rise were determined by Fura-2 microfluorimetry. Ca2+ influx through voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, even though leading to substantial Ca2+ rise, did not by itself activate calpain I. These results indicate that for calpain I activation, the source of Ca1+ influx is more important than the magnitude of Ca2+ rise. Glutamate-mediated calpain I activation was fully blocked by preincubation (30 min) of the cultures with calpain inhibitor I, calpain inhibitor II, or calpeptin (all 10 microM). The presence of calpain inhibitors did not, however, in any way ameliorate the massive excitotoxicity resulting from 16 h exposure to glutamate, indicating that calpain I activation and excitotoxicity are not ca...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
