| 1 | Does progesterone show neuroprotective effects on traumatic brain injury through increasing phosphorylation of Akt in the hippocampus?显示文摘There are currently no federally approved neuroprotective agents to treat traumatic brain injury. Progesterone, a hydrophobic steroid hormone, has been shown in recent studies to exhibit neuroprotective effects in controlled cortical impact rat models. Akt is a protein kinase known to play a role in cell signaling pathways that reduce edema, inflammation, apoptosis, and promote cell growth in the brain. This study aims to determine if progesterone modulates the phosphorylation of Akt via its threonine 308 phosphorylation site. Phosphorylation at the threonine 308 site is one of several sites responsible for activating Akt and enabling the protein kinase to carry out its neuroprotective effects. To assess the effects of progesterone on Akt phosphorylation, C57BL/6 mice were treated with progesterone(8 mg/kg) at 1(intraperitonally), 6, 24, and 48 hours(subcutaneously) post closed-skull traumatic brain injury. The hippocampus was harvested at 72 hours post injury and prepared for western blot analysis. Traumatic brain injury caused a significant decrease in Akt phosphorylation compared to sham operation. However, mice treated with progesterone following traumatic brain injury had an increase in phosphorylation of Akt compared to traumatic brain injury vehicle. Our findings suggest that progesterone is a viable treatment option for activating neuroprotective pathways after traumatic brain injury. | Richard Justin Garling Lora Talley Watts Shane Sprague Lauren Fletcher David F.Jimenez Murat Digicaylioglu | 2014 | Neural Regeneration Research2014，9，21： | 6 |
| 2 | Progesterone modulates m TOR in the hippocampus of mice after traumatic brain injury显示文摘the mechanistic target of rapamycin(m tor) is an intracellular protein kinase that functions as an energy and nutrient sensor in the cellular microenvironment of neurons. modulation of m tor is vital when nutrient and energy sources become limited. hypoxia, traumatic brain injury, cellular energy states, and growth factors all regulate the phosphorylation and total levels of m tor in cells. alterations in the microenvironment induce transduction of signals to downstream proteins by m tor allowing for cells to make the necessary adjustments to counteract stressors and survive. progesterone, a hydrophobic steroid hormone, has been shown in studies of non-neural tissue to be a suppressor of m tor and modulator of m tor phosphorylation. our study tested the effects of progesterone on m tor expression following traumatic brain injury. c57 bl/6 mice were treated with progesterone(8 mg/kg) at 1(intraperitoneal), 6(subcutaneous), 24(subcutaneous), and 48(subcutaneous) hours post closed skull traumatic brain injury. the hippocampus was then harvested 72 hours post injury and prepared for western blot analysis. we found that progesterone significantly decreased total m tor levels in all groups compared to sham treated with vehicle. this was further confirmed by immunostaining showing decreased cytoplasmic m tor levels compared to sham. our study shows progesterone is a significant modulator of m tor levels in the hippocampus of mice following traumatic brain injury. | Richard Justin Garling Lora Talley Watts Shane Sprague Murat Digicaylioglu | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018，13，3： | 1 |
