Oxidative stress, mitochondrial permeability transition and activation of caspases in calcium ionophore A23187-induced death of cultured striatal neurons

Petersén Å, Castilho RF, Hansson O, Wieloch T and Brundin P.Brain Research 857: 20-29 (2000)AbstractDisruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis is thought to play a role in neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease (HD). To study different aspects of putative pathogenic mechanisms in HD, we aimed to establish an in vitro model of calcium-induced toxicity in striatal neurons. The

Caspase inhibition increases embryonic striatal graft survival

Mundt-Petersén U, Petersén Å, Emgård M, Dunnett SB and Brundin P.Experimental Neurology 164:112-120 (2000)AbstractIn transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die. Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigat

Grafting of nigral tissue hibernated with tirilazad mesylate and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor

Petersén Å, Hansson O, Emgård M and Brundin P.Cell Transplantation 9: 577-584 (2000)AbstractTransplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalon is a potential therapy for patients with Parkinson's disease. As only around 5-10% of embryonic dopaminergic neurons survive grafting into the adult striatum, it is considered necessary to use multiple donor embryos. To increase the survival of the grafted
