| Abstract | Brain ischemia has major consequences leading to the apoptosis of astrocytes and neurons. Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) known for its role in endoplasmic reticulum stress alleviation was discovered on several cell surfaces acting as a receptor for signaling pathways. We have previously described peptides that bind cell surface GRP78 on endothelial cells to induce angiogenesis. We have also reported that ADoPep1 binds cardiomyocytes to prevent apoptosis of ischemic heart cells. In this study we describe the effect of hypoxia on astrocytes and neurons cell surface GRP78. Under hypoxic conditions, there was an increase of more than fivefold in GRP78 on cell surface of neurons while astrocytes were not affected. The addition of the GRP78 binding peptide, ADoPep1, to neurons decreased the percentage of GRP78 positive cells and did not change the percent of astrocytes. However, a significant increase in early and late apoptosis of both astrocytes and neurons under hypoxia was attenuated in the presence of ADoPep1. Intravitreal administration of ADoPep1 to mice in a model of optic nerve crush significantly reduced retinal cell loss after 21 days compared to the crush-damaged eyes without treatment or by control saline vehicle injection. Histological staining demonstrated reduced GRP78 after ADoPep1 treatment. The mechanism of peptide neuroprotection was demonstrated by the inhibition of hypoxia induced caspase 3/7 activity, cytochrome c release and p38 phosphorylation. This study is the first report on hypoxic neuronal and astrocyte cell surface GRP78 and suggests a potential therapeutic target for neuroprotection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
