Abstract

[d-Ala2, d-Leu5] enkephalin (DADLE) is a synthetic δ-opioid agonist that induces hibernation and promotes survival of neurons and glial cells in the central nervous system. Several mechanisms for the attenuation of hypoxic injury have been suggested, including control of intracellular signaling pathways via the δ-opioid receptor (DOR). However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of DADLE in hypoxic injury are largely unknown. To investigate neuronal injury after oxygen-deprivation (OD) and DOR stimulation by DADLE, we used a lactate dehydrogenase assay, MTT assay, and immunofluorescence live/dead staining. And we used cDNA microarrays to investigate the influence of DADLE exposure on transcription after OD in rat cortical glial and neuronal co-culture. DADLE reduced neuronal injury after 24 h of OD. Preconditioning with DADLE before 24 h hypoxia exposure also altered gene expression in comparison with 24h OD without pretreatment. After DADLE exposure and hypoxia, 1917 of 39,511 genes (4.9%) were significantly induced or repressed at least 2.5-fold. Assigning differentially expressed ESTs (expressed sequence tags) to molecular functional groups revealed that DADLE affected many pathways including apoptosis, intracellular ion ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Brain developing: Influences & Outcomes

This feed focuses on influences that affect the developing brain including genetics, fetal development, prenatal care, and gene-environment interactions. Here is the latest research in this field.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.

Advanced Imaging of Cellular Signaling

Cell signaling is a vital mechanism for communication within cells and outside with the environment. Several different signaling pathways have been found and advanced imaging techniques are being developed to visualize the molecules involved in these signaling pathways. Find the latest research in advanced imaging of cellular signaling here.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
