Cellular defenses against excitotoxic insults Sapolsky RMJ Neurochem 2001[Mar]; 76 (6): 1601-11The cellular events mediating necrotic neuron death are now reasonably well understood, and involve excessive extracellular accumulation of glutamate and free cytosolic calcium. When such necrotic neurological insults occur, neurons are not passively buffeted, but instead mobilize a variety of defenses in an attempt to decrease the likelihood of neuron death, or to decrease the harm to neighboring neurons (by decreasing the likelihood of inflammation). This review considers some of these defenses, organizing them along the lines of those which decrease neuronal excitability, decrease extracellular glutamate accumulation, decrease cytosolic calcium mobilization, decrease calcium-dependent degenerative events, enhance neuronal energetics, and bias a neuron towards apoptotic, rather than necrotic, death. Although these are currently perceived as a disparate array of cellular adaptations, some experimental approaches are suggested that may help form a more unified subdiscipline of cellular defenses against neurological insults. Such an advance would help pave the way for the rational design of therapeutic interventions against necrotic insults.|Animals[MESH]|Apoptosis[MESH]|Brain/cytology/drug effects/*physiology[MESH]|Calcium Signaling/physiology[MESH]|Glutamic Acid/metabolism/toxicity[MESH]|Models, Neurological[MESH]|Necrosis[MESH]|Neurons/cytology/*drug effects/*physiology[MESH]|Neurotoxins/*toxicity[MESH] |
