A simple resazurin-based cytotoxicity assay is presented for screening of cytotoxicity in hepatocytes and liver cell lines. Human hepatoma (HepG2) cells in 96-well culture plates were exposed to known toxic (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, ethionine, fluf

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a 34-kDa cholesterol transport protein that also possesses immunomodulatory properties. In this study, we demonstrate that ApoE initiates a signaling cascade in murine peritoneal macrophages that leads to increased producti

Excessive levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate trigger excitotoxic processes in neurons that lead to cell death. N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor over-activation is a key excitotoxic stimulus that leads to increases in intracellular calcium a

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by glial cells has been implicated in the neuropathogenesis of various diseases. However, the signaling transduction pathway(s) for the production of NO in these cells is not well understood. To test whether protein tyrosin

Administration of kainate (KA), a glutamate receptor agonist, to rats causes neuronal damage in the CA1/CA3 fields of the hippocampus and in the pyriform/ entorhinal cortex. Reactive gliosis also occurs and activated astrocytes upregulate their expre

The AP-1 transcription factor family consists of two groups of proteins, fos-related antigens (fra) and jun proteins. These transcription factors are usually expressed at low basal levels but they can be dramatically induced in a variety of cell type

Cultured glial cells synthesize a number of neuropeptides, growth factors, cytokines, and other factors that are not detectable in resting glia in the adult brain but that appear in response to brain injury. Enkephalin-containing peptides are produce

The effects of extracellular ATP on intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i), phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) turnover, amylase release and Ca2+-activated membrane currents were examined in isolated rat parotid acinar cells and contrasted wi

We have previously reported that maternal deprivation of rat pups causes a decrease in tissue responsiveness to growth hormone that is mediated by the loss of maternal tactile stimulation. We now report that liver responses to alpha and beta adrenerg

Short-term food deprivation (FD) of preweanling rat pups causes a marked and specific suppression of liver ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) induction by alpha and beta adrenergic agonists that is mediated by postreceptor mechanisms. In the present study
