Lithium chloride promotes neural functional recovery after local cerebral ischemia injury in rats through Wnt signaling pathway activation
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2022 Aug 2. doi: 10.5603/FM.a2022.0068. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium chloride (LiCl) has a significant neuroprotective effect in cerebral ischemia. However, to date, there is a paucity of evidence on the role of LiCl in neural restoration after brain ischemia and the signaling pathways involved remain unclear. Therefore, to address this gap, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model was used to simulate human ischemia stroke. Male SD rats were given MCAO for 90 min followed by reperfusion, and Dickkopf-1(DKK1, 5.0 μg/kg) was administered half an hour before MCAO. Rats were then ...

Inhibition of protease-activated receptor 1 ameliorates behavioral deficits and restores hippocampal synaptic plasticity in a rat model of status epilepticus
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Neuroscience LettersAuthor(s): Marharyta Semenikhina, Ruslan Bogovyk, Mykhailo Fedoriuk, Oksana Nikolaienko, Lina T. AlKury, Alina Savotchenko, Oleg Krishtal, Elena IsaevaAbstractThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a unique structure that controls substances exchange between the systemic circulation and the brain. Disruption of its integrity contributes to the development and progression of a variety of brain disorders including stroke, epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases. It was shown that intracerebral thrombin level substantially increases following status epile...

The neuroprotective effect of lithium chloride on cognitive impairment through glycogen synthase kinase-3 β inhibition in intracerebral hemorrhage rats.
In this study, Male Sprague-Dawley rats, subjected to intrastriatal blood infusion, were treated with lithium chloride and underwent neurobehavioral test for equivalent injury severity and neurological functional deficits, Morris water maze test for cognitive impairment, high performance liquid chromatography analysis for excitotoxic index determination, immunohistochemistry analysis for neuronal apoptosis, and Western blot analysis for glycogen synthase kinase-3β activity. Our results showed lithium chloride inhibited glycogen synthase kinase-3β activation, which on one hand, suppressed downstream CRMP-2/NR2B, thus dimi...
