| Abstract | N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) preconditioning is a major endogenous brain protective mechanism, activated by sub-lethal stimulation of the NMDA glutamate receptors. Selective drug activation of this mechanism is considered to be a promising neuroprotective treatment against stroke and other traumatic brain insults. We have established an experimental in vitro model of NMDA preconditioning in primary rat neuronal cultures composed of three consecutive periods: preconditioning (NMDA 50 9M for 18 h), insult (glutamic acid 200 9M for 1 h), and reperfusion (regular medium for 24 h). The insulted neuronal cultures exhibited a 2.8-fold increase in LDH release into the media during the post-insult reperfusion period, which was completely abolished in the preconditioned cultures. The alterations in the activity level of the pro-survival kinase extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, the death machine activator c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and the pro-survival transcription factor cAMP responsive element binding (CREB) were monitored in preconditioned neuronal cultures in comparison to non-preconditioned cells during the three periods of the experimental model. The preconditioned neurons exhibited increased activity levels of ERK 1/2 and decreased activity levels of JNK during all periods of the model. In addition, the non-preconditioned neurons exhibited a marked reduction in the activity level of CREB during the insult period, which was totally prevented in the preconditioned cultures. These results suggest that the neuroprotection conferred by NMDA preconditioning against glutamate cytotoxicity is mediated (at least in part) through activation of ERK 1/2, inactivation of JNK and by prevention of glutamate-induced CREB inactivation. |

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.
