Abstract

The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene family, mediates cellular signal transduction pathways. In this study we investigated the role of LRP in cell death. We found that incubation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts in serum-free media induces caspase-3 activation, an effect that is attenuated in LRP-deficient (LRP(-/-)) mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Since we previously demonstrated that middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice induces shedding of the LRP ectodomain, we investigated here whether cerebral ischemia induces regulated intramembrane proteolysis of LRP and whether this process is related to cell death. We found that MCAO induces an increase in gamma-secretase activity in the ischemic hemisphere and that treatment with the gamma-secretase inhibitor L-685,458 improves the neurological outcome and results in a 50% decrease in the volume of the ischemic lesion. Furthermore, MCAO caused nuclear translocation of the intracellular domain of LRP in neurons within the area of ischemic penumbra, and this effect was attenuated in mice treated with L-685,458. Finally, inhibition of either LRP or gamma-secretase attenuated cerebral ischemia-induced caspa...Continue Reading

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.

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.

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

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.
