• 20375612(IFN-gamma): NOX4 expression in human microglia leads to constitutive generation of reactive oxygen species and to constitutive IL-6 expression.

  Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by microglia is implicated in neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity , as well as in host defense , cell proliferation and excitatory amino acid release.

• 17947304(Indicators and Reagents): Ca2+-dependent generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species serves as a signal for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activation during glutamate excitotoxicity.

  Since activation of the glutamate receptors can induce increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) , we investigated the relationship of mitochondrial Ca (2 +) uptake and ROS generation , and the possibility that ROS increase is a required signal for PARP-1 activation in cultured striatal neurons.

• 16181422(ADP Ribose Transferases): Mitochondrial impairment induced by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activation in cortical neurons after oxygen and glucose deprivation.

  Here , we investigated this mechanism by focusing on a DNA damage-sensor , poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1).

• 15293985(poly-ADP-ribose): Rational approaches to discovery of orally active and brain-penetrable quinazolinone inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase.

  A novel class of quinazolinone derivatives as potent poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors has been discovered.
