Abstract
It was previously shown that the induction of long-term post-tetanic potentiation of synaptic transmission in rat hippocampal slices is accompanied by a rapid decrease in the levels of the transcription factor p53 (tumor suppressor p53). However, it remained unclear whether a similar phenomenon could be observed in vivo. To answer this question, we employed a pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure model in rats. At 20 and 40 min after an intraperitoneal injection of PTZ, hippocampal p53 levels were significantly reduced compared to the intact controls. These findings validate the data previously obtained in vitro.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
