Significance The expression of genes involved in hippocampal synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory requires that Ca 2+ signals generated spines, dendrites, or the soma by neuronal stimulation reach nucleus. Here, we report neurons induces release mediated RyR2 channels, which contributes to nuclear signal generation. Suppression RyR-mediated inhibited activity-induced phosphorylation transcriptional regulator CREB Npas4 transcription factor RyR2, play crucial roles processes. We propose...

Ferroptosis, a newly described form of regulated cell death, is characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation lipid peroxides, glutathione depletion, mitochondrial alterations, and enhanced lipoxygenase activity. Inhibition peroxidase 4 (GPX4), key intracellular antioxidant regulator, promotes ferroptosis in different types. Scant information available on GPX4-induced hippocampal neurons. Moreover, role calcium (Ca2+) signaling remains elusive. Here, we report that RSL3, selective...

Hippocampal neuronal activity generates dendritic and somatic Ca2+ signals, which depending on stimulus intensity, rapidly propagate to the nucleus induce expression of transcription factors genes with crucial roles in cognitive functions. Soluble Amyloid-beta Oligomers (AβOs), main synaptotoxins engaged pathogenesis Alzheimer's disease, generate aberrant signals primary hippocampal neurons, increase their oxidative tone disrupt structural plasticity. Here, we explored effects...
