1 ERK1 plays a critical protective role against N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced retinal injury. N-Methylaspartate mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Mus musculus
2 Here we describe a previously unknown role for retinal glial cells in NMDA-induced retinal injury that involves the activation of ERK1/2. N-Methylaspartate mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Mus musculus
3 Within 1 hr after injecting NMDA intravitreally, activation of ERK1/2 and c-Fos induction were observed in retinal Muller cells. N-Methylaspartate mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Mus musculus
4 NMDA-induced ERK1/2 activation in retina was significantly suppressed in ERK1(-/-) mice, and these mice had significantly higher numbers of TUNEL-positive retinal cells than wild-type mice 24 hr after NMDA injection. N-Methylaspartate mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Mus musculus
5 NMDA-induced ERK1/2 activation in retina was significantly suppressed in ERK1(-/-) mice, and these mice had significantly higher numbers of TUNEL-positive retinal cells than wild-type mice 24 hr after NMDA injection. N-Methylaspartate mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Mus musculus
