| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The investigating whether D-serine, NMDA receptor coagonist, is associated with the neuropathological mechanism of delayed paraplegia after spinal cord ischemia in mice was done. Expression of D-serine as well as serine racemase, D-serine synthesis enzyme, was increasing in the spinal cord 24hr after ischemia. However, werstern blotting analysis showed no increase of ERK1/2 in the spinal cord 24hr after spinal cord ischemia. Of interesting, mice deficient SR (SR knockout mice) showed delayed paraplegia, same as wild type mice, after spinal cord ischemia . Based on these results, neither D-serine or SR expression after spinal cord ischemia might be associated with delayed paraplegia after spinal cord ischemia in mice.
