Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), but not TLR3 or TLR9, knock-out mice have neuroprotective effects against focal cerebral ischemia
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are signaling receptors in the innate immune system that is a specific immunologic response to systemic bacterial infection. We investigated whether cerebral ischemia… Expand

Fasudil, a rho kinase inhibitor, limits motor neuron loss in experimental models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment. Fasudil hydrochloride (fasudil), a potent rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, is useful for the… Expand

Damage of photoreceptor-derived cells in culture induced by light emitting diode-derived blue light
Our eyes are increasingly exposed to light from the emitting diode (LED) light of video display terminals (VDT) which contain much blue light. VDTs are equipped with televisions, personal computers,… Expand

The potential of GPNMB as novel neuroprotective factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable and fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons. Despite substantial research, the causes of ALS remain unclear.… Expand

The growth factor progranulin attenuates neuronal injury induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion through the suppression of neutrophil recruitment
BackgroundTo improve the clinical outcome of patients who suffered ischemic stroke, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the major concerns that should be conquered. Inflammatory… Expand

Ubiquilin interacts with ubiquitylated proteins and proteasome through its ubiquitin‐associated and ubiquitin‐like domains
Mammalian cells acquire tolerance against multiple stressors through the high‐level expression of stress‐responsible genes. We have previously demonstrated that protein‐disulfide isomerase (PDI)… Expand

Crocetin prevents retinal degeneration induced by oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stresses via inhibition of caspase activity.
Crocetin is a carotenoid that is the aglicone of crocin, which are found in saffron stigmas (Crocus sativus L.) and gardenia fruit (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis). In this study, we investigated the… Expand

A broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor prevents hemorrhagic complications induced by tissue plasminogen activator in mice
Delayed activation of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) can lead to the disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), resulting in hemorrhagic complications. In the present study, we focused on tight… Expand
