Specific PGRMC1 inhibition by AG205 (1 mum) showed this rise to be PGRMC1-dependent, primarily utilizing calcium from extracellular sources, for blockade of L-type calcium channels by verapamil (50 mum) prevented a Norgestrel-induced calcium influx in stressed cells. Norgestrel 91-101 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 198-204 27763693-5 2016 In the present manuscript, we show by flow cytometry and live-cell immunofluorescence that Norgestrel induces an increase in cytosolic calcium in both healthy and stressed 661Ws over 24 h.

Norgestrel 91-101 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 256-262 27763693-5 2016 In the present manuscript, we show by flow cytometry and live-cell immunofluorescence that Norgestrel induces an increase in cytosolic calcium in both healthy and stressed 661Ws over 24 h.

Norgestrel 404-414 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 198-204 27763693-7 2016 Notably, we demonstrate PGRMC1-activation is necessary for Norgestrel-induced bFGF upregulation. Norgestrel 59-69 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 24-30 26447367-8 2016 Activated by Norgestrel through nuclear trafficking, siRNA knock down of PGRMC1 abrogated the protective properties of Norgestrel on damaged photoreceptors. Norgestrel 13-23 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 73-79 26447367-8 2016 Activated by Norgestrel through nuclear trafficking, siRNA knock down of PGRMC1 abrogated the protective properties of Norgestrel on damaged photoreceptors. Norgestrel 119-129 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 73-79 26447367-9 2016 Furthermore, specific inhibition of PGRMC1 by AG205 blocked Norgestrel-induced protection in stressed retinal explants. Norgestrel 60-70 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 36-42 26447367-10 2016 Therefore, we conclude that PGRMC1 is crucial to the neuroprotective effects of Norgestrel on stressed photoreceptors. Norgestrel 80-90 progesterone receptor membrane component 1 Mus musculus 28-34
