Although ischemic tolerance has been described in a variety of primary cell culture systems, no similar in vitro models have been reported with any cell line. A model of ischemic preconditioning in the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line is described here. When compared to nonpreconditioned cells, preexposure of PC12 cells to 6 hours of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) significantly increased cell viability after 15 hours of OGD 24 hours later. Flow cytometry analysis of cells labeled with specific markers for apoptosis, Annexin V, and Hoechst 33342, and of DNA content, revealed that apoptosis is involved in OGD-induced PC12 cell death and that preconditioning of the cells mainly counteracts the effect of apoptosis. Immunocytochemistry of caspase-3, a central executioner in the apoptotic process, further confirmed the activation of apoptotic pathways in OGD-induced PC12 cell death. This model may be useful to investigate the cellular mechanisms involved in neuronal transient tolerance following ischemia.

The rise of extracellular matrix (ECM)-supported three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems which bridge the gap between in vitro culture and in vivo living tissue for pharmacological models has increased the need for simple and robust cell viability assays. This study presents the development of an effective biosensing assay for in situ monitoring of the catecholamine neurotransmitter exocytosis levels for cell viability assessment within complicated cell-encapsulated hydrogel milieu. Firstly, the biosensing assay demonstrated the distinction among four pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell lines with varying degrees of differentiation and the discrepancy in cellular neurosecretory capacity between two-dimensional (2D) monolayer and 3D agarose hydrogel culture conditions, accompanied by morphological distinctions.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) as a common clinical issue that presents significant challenges for repair. Factors such as donor site morbidity from autologous transplantation, slow recovery of long-distance nerve damage, and deficiencies in local cytokines and extracellular matrix contribute to the complexity of effective PNI treatment. It is extremely urgent to develop functional nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) as substitutes for nerve autografts.

This study aimed to elucidate the pivotal enzymes and molecular mechanisms underlying PGE synthesis induced by central Ang II (angiotensin II) and its implications in the heightened oxidative stress and sympathetic outflow in hypertension.
Methods And Results: RVLM microinjections of PGE and Tempol were administered in Wistar-Kyoto rats.
