In this study, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury models were established using the suture method, and minocycline was immediately injected intraperitoneally after cerebral ischemia-repeffusion （22.5 mg/kg, initially 45 mg/kg） at a 12-hour interval. Results showed that after minocycline treatment, the volume of cerebral infarction was significantly reduced, the number of surviving cell in the hippocampal CA1 region increased, the number of apoptotic cells decreased, the expression of caspase-3 and poly（adenosine diphosphate-ribose） polymerase-1 protein was down-regulated, and the escape latency in the water maze test was significantly shortened compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group. Our experimental findings indicate that minocycline can protect against neuronal injury induced by focal ischemia-reperfusion, which may be mediated by the inhibition of caspase-3 and poly（adenosine diphosphate-ribose） polymerase-1 protein expression.展开更多

Results showed that the survival rate of neurons was significantly increased after treatment with 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2＇-disulfonic acid, and the rate of apoptosis decreased. In addition, the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins poly（adenosine diphosphate-ribose）polymerase-1 and apoptosis-inducing factor were significantly reduced. Our experimental findings indicate that the chloride channel blocker 4,4- diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2＇-disulfonic acid can antagonize apoptotic cell death of hippocampal neurons by inhibiting the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins poly（adenosine diphosphate-ribose）polymerase-1 and apoptosis-inducing factor.展开更多

The present study investigated the effects of the broad-spectrum calcium channel blocker CdCI2 on survival rate, percentage of apoptosis, and morphological changes in hippocampal neurons cultured in vitro, as well as the effects of calcium channels on neuronal apoptosis. The chloride channel blockers 4-acetamido-4＇-isothiocyanatostilbene-2, 2＇-disulfonic acid （SITS） or 4, 4＇-diisethiocyanostilbene-2, 2＇-disulfonic acid （DIDS） increased the survival rate of 3-morpholinosydnonimine （SIN-1）-treated neurons and suppressed SIN-l-induced neuronal apoptosis. The calcium channel blocker CdCI2 did not increase the survival rate of neurons and did not affect SIN-l-induced apoptosis or SITS- or DIDS-suppressed neuronal apoptosis. Results demonstrated that calcium channels did not significantly affect neuronal apoptosis.展开更多
