Excessive autophagy contributes to neuron death in cerebral ischemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims To determine the extent to which autophagy contributes to neuronal death in cerebral hypoxia and ischemia. Methods We performed immunocytochemistry, western blot, cell viability assay, and electron microscopy to analyze autophagy activities in vitro and in vivo. Results In both primary cortical neurons and SH‐SY5Y cells exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) for 6 h (hours) and reperfusion (RP) for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively, an increase of autophagy was observed as determined by the increased ratio of LC3‐II to LC3‐I and Beclin‐1 (BECN1) expression. Using Fluoro‐Jade C and monodansylcadaverine (MDC) double‐staining, and electron microscopy we found the increment in autophagy after OGD/RP was accompanied by increased autophagic cell death, and this increased cell death was inhibited by the specific autophagy inhibitor, 3‐Methyladenine (3‐MA). The presence of large autolysosomes and numerous autophagosomes in cortical neurons were confirmed by electron microscopy. Autophagy activities were increased dramatically in the ischemic brains 3 to 7 days post‐injury from a rat model of neonatal cerebral hypoxia/ischemia as shown by increased punctate LC3 staining and Beclin‐1 expression. Conclusion Excessive activation of autophagy contributes to neuronal death in cerebral ischemia. This study was supported by CIHR, MHRC, MICH and Canadian Stroke Network.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
