Reduced synaptotagmin I expression prevents injury to hippocampal neurons
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, February 13th, 2003
"We have previously demonstrated that an acute pharmacological interruption of the afferent inputs from the hypothalamus to the hippocampus resulted in the blockade of the genesis and spread of intra-amygdala kainate-induced seizure activity in the hippocampus. This finding suggests that a sustained interruption of the hypothalamic stimulative influences may completely prevent amygdaloid seizure-induced hippocampal neuron damage. To test this assumption, we delivered antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) against synaptotagmin 1, a regulatory protein of the transmitter release machinery,...
