Insulin-like growth factor-I protects axotomized rat retinal ganglion cells from secondary death via PI3-K-dependent Akt phosphorylation and inhibition of caspase-3 In vivoP Kermer
Department of Neurology, Medical School, University of Tubingen, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
J Neurosci 20:2-8. 2000..As expected, WM significantly reduced the neuroprotective effects of IGF-I. In summary, we show for the first time in vivo that IGF is neuroprotective via PI3-K-dependent Akt phosphorylation and by inhibition of caspase-3...

Brain Res Mol Brain Res 85:144-50. 2000....
Transection of the optic nerve in rats: studying neuronal death and survival in vivoP Kermer
The Burnham Institute, Program on Cell Death and Apoptosis Research, 10901 North Torrey Pines Road, San Diego, CA 92037, USA
Brain Res Brain Res Protoc 7:255-60. 2001....
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor-mediated neuroprotection of adult rat retinal ganglion cells in vivo does not exclusively depend on phosphatidyl-inositol-3'-kinase/protein kinase B signalingN Klocker
Department of Neurology, University of Tubingen, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
J Neurosci 20:6962-7. 2000..2000), it does not in the case of BDNF. Thus, we assume that BDNF does not depend on a single signal transduction pathway exerting its neuroprotective effects on lesioned CNS neurons...
Bifunctional apoptosis inhibitor (BAR) protects neurons from diverse cell death pathwaysW Roth
The Burnham Institute, 10901 N Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA
Cell Death Differ 10:1178-87. 2003..Taken together, the expression pattern and functional data suggest that the BAR protein is involved in the regulation of neuronal survival...
Activation of caspase-3 in axotomized rat retinal ganglion cells in vivoP Kermer
Dept of Neurology, Medical School, University of Tubingen, Germany
FEBS Lett 453:361-4. 1999..These data suggest caspase-3 as an important mediator of secondary retinal ganglion cell death following axotomy in vivo...
Contribution of caspase-8 to apoptosis of axotomized rat retinal ganglion cells in vivoJ H Weishaupt
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Gottingen, Robert Koch Strasse 40, 37075 Gottingen, Germany
Neurobiol Dis 13:124-35. 2003..A late peak of caspase-8 activity and additive protective effects of caspase-8 and -9 inhibition on axotomized RGCs place caspase-8 in our model rather late in the apoptosis cascade, possibly after the onset of mitochondrial dysfunction...
Modulation of metabotropic glutamate receptors fails to prevent the loss of adult rat retinal ganglion cells following axotomy or N-methyl-D-aspartate lesion in vivoP Kermer
Department of Neurology, University of Tubingen, Hoppe Seyler Strasse 3, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Neurosci Lett 315:117-20. 2001..We conclude that activation/inactivation of retinal mGluRs does not play an important role for the initiation and execution of secondary RGC loss after ON transection and NMDA lesion in the adult rat...

Neuroscience 157:844-9. 2008....
Bag1 is a regulator and marker of neuronal differentiationP Kermer
The Burnham Institute, Program on Apoptosis and Cell Death Research, 10901 N Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California, CA 92037, USA
Cell Death Differ 9:405-13. 2002..Taken together, these findings raise the possibility that the Bag1 protein is expressed early in neurogenesis in vivo and is capable of modulating neuronal cell survival and differentiation at least in part from a nuclear location...
Both the neuronal and inducible isoforms contribute to upregulation of retinal nitric oxide synthase activity by brain-derived neurotrophic factorN Klocker
Department of Neurology, University of Tubingen, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
J Neurosci 19:8517-27. 1999..These findings might be useful for developing pharmacological strategies to improve BDNF-mediated neuroprotection...
Aggregopathy in neurodegenerative diseases: mechanisms and therapeutic implicationC P Dohm
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Gottingen, Gottingen, Germany
Neurodegener Dis 5:321-38. 2008..Furthermore, we will discuss current treatment strategies in these diseases targeting aggregate formation and concurrent neuronal cell death in these diseases...
