NMDAR-PSD-95 interaction blocking peptide with neuroprotective efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
Tat-NR2B9c (NA-1) is a 20-mer peptide composed of a membrane-permeant HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain sequence (a.a. 47-57) N-terminal to the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) GluN2B carboxyl tail sequence KLSSIESDV that blocks intracellular NMDAR-PSD-95 interaction-induced neurotoxic signaling without affecting NMDAR-mediated synaptic activity or calcium influx. NA-1 protects cultured cortical neurons from NMDA excitotoxicity (50 nM; 20/40/100 μM NMDA) and reduces focal ischemic brain damage in rats in vivo (3 μmol/kg iv. bolus 1 hr post MCAO onset).

Antiepileptogenic agents that prevent the development of epilepsy following a brain insult remain the holy grail of epilepsy therapeutics. We have employed a label-free proteomic approach that allows quantification of large numbers of brain-expressed proteins in a single analysis in

We have previously reported that cationic poly-arginine and arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides display high-level neuroprotection and reduce calcium influx following in vitro excitotoxicity, as well as reduce brain injury in animal stroke models. Using the neuroprotective peptides poly-arginine R12 (R12) and
Following positive results with the poly-arginine peptide R18 when administered intravenously 30 or 60min after permanent and/or transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO; 90min) in the rat, we examined the effectiveness of the peptide when administered 2h after MCAO. R18

Postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD95) plays important roles in the formation, differentiation, remodeling, and maturation of neuronal synapses. This study is to estimate the potential role of PSD95 in cognitive dysfunction and synaptic injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The interaction between

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDARs)-dependent central sensitization plays an important role in cancer pain. Binding of NMDAR subunit 2B (NR2B) by postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) can couple NMDAR activity to intracellular enzymes, such as neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), facilitate downstream signaling
