The role of CGRP receptor antagonist (CGRP8-37) and Endomorphin-1 combination therapy on neuropathic pain alleviation and expression of Sigma-1 receptors and antioxidants in rats
ConclusionOur results demonstrate that either Endomorphin-1 or CGRP receptor antagonist is able to decrease the neuropathic pain after SCI but combination therapy by a CGRP receptor antagonist and Endomorphin-1 did not make any further reduction in pain sensation.

Olig2 positive cells derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells in rats
In this study, we used the combination of 5 small molecular including CHIR99021 (CHIR), SB431542 (SB), DMH1 (DMH), retinoic acid (RA) and Purmorphamine (Pur) to induce hair follicles neural crest stem cells (hfNCSCs) to motor neurons progenitors (MNPs). Valproic acid (VPA) was used to make MNPs proliferation. RA and Pur were used to try to induce MNPs toward motor neurons (MNs) and CpdE was tried for MNs maturation. Nestin, β-tubulin Ш (Tuj1), microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), Olig2, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)and TUBB3 were examined at protein and mRNA levels by immunofluoresence cytochemistry, western blo...

The effect of steroid hormone on the expression of the calcium-processing proteins in the immature female rat brain
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Seon Young Park, Yeong-Min Yoo, Eui-Man Jung, Eui-Bae JeungAbstractThe cytosolic calcium concentration is regulated by calcium-processing proteins such as transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5 (TRPV5), TRPV6, sodium-calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1), and plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 1 (PMCA1). Those calcium-processing proteins are important for physiological functions in the brain. The effects of steroid hormones on calcium-processing protein expressions in the brains are unknown. Thus, the effects of st...

Valproic acid administration exerts protective effects against stress-related anhedonia in rats
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Mina Goudarzi, Arezo Nahavandi, Soraya Mehrabi, Maryam Eslami, Ali Shahbazi, Mahmoud BaratiAbstractAnhedonia or inability to experience pleasure is the sign of various neuropsychiatric conditions. Current treatment options do not provide adequate control of anhedonia. The present study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of valproic acid (VPA) as a nonspecific histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor to reverse the effects of stress on induction of anhedonia and explore possible mechanisms.To induce anhedonia, a r...

Schisandrin A and B enhance the dentate gyrus neurogenesis in mouse hippocampus
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Ning-Ning Cai, Zheng-Zhu Wang, Xian-Chun Zhu, Yu Jiang, Wen-Qian Zhu, Rui Yang, Xue-Ming ZhangAbstractSchisandrin A and B (Sch A and B) are the main effective components of Schisandra chinensis (S. chinensis), which is traditionally used to enhance mental and intellectual functions in eastern Asia. Previously we reported Sch A and B remarkably affect adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone of mouse lateral ventricle. Since the neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is more important to learning, memory and...

Follistatin expression in the central nervous system of the adult rat
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Chikara Ogawa, Sumiko Mikawa, Kanna Yamashita, Yutaro Hayashi, Kazuma Masumoto, Fuminori Katou, Kohji SatoAbstractFollistatin was initially cloned as a monomeric polypeptide that inhibits the release of follicle-stimulating hormone. Although follistatin also plays pivotal roles in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and immunoregulation in the epididymis, little information is available regarding follistatin function in the adult central nervous system (CNS). Hence, we investigated follistatin expression in the adult rat CNS using ...

Advancement in the modelling and therapeutics of Parkinson’s disease
Publication date: Available online 26 January 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Sachchida Nand Rai, Payal SinghAbstractSince the discovery of L-dopa in the middle of the 20th century (1960s), there is not any neuroprotective therapy available although significant development has been made in the treatment of symptomatic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Neurological disorders like PD can be modelled in animals so as to recapitulates most of the symptoms seen in PD patients. In aging population, PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease, even though significant outcome...

Not All imagery is created equal: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Internally Driven and Symbol Driven Musical Performance Imagery
Publication date: Available online 16 January 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Serap Bastepe-Gray, Niyazi Acer, Kazim Z. Gumus, Julian Gray, Levent DegirmenciogluAbstractPlaying a musical instrument requires fast multimodal sensory-motor processing which can be activated by voluntary access to performance imagery. Musicians use different methods to activate imagery for the purpose of “mental practice”. The aim of the present study was to investigate cortical activation patterns in different methods of mental practice of musical performance. While undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (f...

LncRNA CASC2 inhibits astrocytic activation and adenosine metabolism by regulating PTEN in pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy model
Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Hongyi LiuAbstractGrowing evidence has indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely implicated in the progress of epilepsy. However, the expression profile and potential function of long noncoding RNAs cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (lncRNA CASC2) in epilepsy are poorly studied. The aim of this study was to testify the influence of lncRNA CASC2 on epilepsy in rat and cell models of epileptic seizure. We adopted qRT-PCR on the hippocampus of rats following pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-stimulated epilepsy. To furthe...
