Abstract
Synaptic dysfunction is a typical pathophysiologic change in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Hintington's disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which involves protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) including L-isoaspartate (L-isoAsp) formed by isomerization of aspartate or deamidation of asparagine. The formation of L-isoAsp could be repaired by protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT). Some synaptic proteins have been identified as PIMT potential substrates and play an essential role in ensuring synaptic function. In this review, we discuss the role of certain synaptic proteins as PIMT substrates in neurodegenerative disease, thus providing therapeutic synapse-centered targets for the treatment of NDs.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The only pharmacological treatment available to date for cerebral ischemia is tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and the search for successful therapeutic strategies still remains a major challenge. The loss of cerebral blood flow leads to reduced oxygen and glucose supply and a subsequent switch to the glycolytic pathway, which leads to tissue acidification. Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is the enzyme responsible for converting carbon dioxide into a protons and bicarbonate, thus contributing to pH regulation and metabolism, with many CA isoforms present in the brain. Recently, numerous studies have shed light on several classes of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) as possible new pharmacological agents for the management of brain ischemia. In the present review we summarized pharmacological, preclinical and clinical findings regarding the role of CAIs in strokes and we discuss their potential protective mechanisms.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase-1 (CA-1) is a metalloenzyme present at high concentrations in erythrocytes. Our previous studies showed that erythrocyte lysis contributes to brain edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and a recent study indicates that CA-1 can cause blood-brain barrier disruption. The present study investigated the role of CA-1 in ICH-induced brain injury.There were three groups in the study. In the first, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats received 100 μl autologous blood injection into the right caudate. Sham rats had a needle insertion. Rat brains were used for brain CA-1 level determination. In the second group, rats received an intracaudate injection of either 50 μl CA-1 (1 μg/μl) or saline. Brain water content, microglia activation and neuronal death (Fluoro-Jade C staining) were examined 24 hours later. In the third group, acetazolamide (AZA, 5 μl, 1 mM), an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrases, or vehicle was co-injected with 100 μl blood. Brain water content, neuronal death and behavioral deficits were measured. We found that CA-I levels were elevated in the ipsilateral basal ganglia at 24 hours after ICH. Intracaudate injection of CA-1 induced brain edema (79.0 ± 0.6 vs. 78.0±0.2% in saline group, p<0.01), microglia activation and neuronal death (p<0.01) at 24 hours. AZA, an inhibitor of CA, reduced ICH-induced brain water content (79.3 ± 0.7 vs. 81.0 ± 1.0% in the vehicle-treated group, p<0.05), neuronal death and improved functional outcome (p<0.05).These results suggest that CA-1 from erythrocyte lysis contributes to brain injury after ICH.

Abstract
The type II isoform of carbonic anhydrase is abundant in astrocytes and oligodendroglia. To explore whether the expression of the type II isoform is required for interstitial carbonic anhydrase activity, we studied extracellular pH transients in hippocampal slices from mutant mice devoid of carbonic anhydrase type II and from wild-type littermates. Stimulation of the Schaffer collateral afferents evoked similar extracellular pH transients in the CA1 stratum pyramidale, consisting of a predominant alkaline shift and little or no subsequent acidosis. After 5-s stimulus trains at 10 Hz, alkaline shifts were not significantly different in carbonic anhydrase II-deficient and wild-type preparations, averaging 0.09 +/- 0.04 and 0.08 +/- 0.04 unit pH, respectively. Addition of 1.5 microM benzolamide amplified the alkaline shifts by 385 +/- 146 and 345 +/- 75% in the mutant and wild-type preparations, respectively. Dose response studies with benzolamide displayed similar sensitivity to this carbonic anhydrase inhibitor over a concentration range of 0. 03-10 microM. These data indicate that interstitial carbonic anhydrase activity is effectively unaltered in brains devoid of carbonic anhydrase type II. The results are consistent with the interpretation that a distinct extracellular isoform of carbonic anhydrase exists in brain.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic calcium-binding proteins are thought to shield neurons against damage induced by excessive Ca2+ elevations. Yet, in theory, a mobile cellular Ca2+ buffer could just as well promote neuronal injury by facilitating the rapid dispersion of Ca2+ throughout the cytoplasm. In sharp contrast to controls, in mice lacking the gene for calbindin-D28k, synaptic responses of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons which are normally extremely vulnerable to ischemia, recovered significantly faster and more completely after a transient oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro, and sustained less cellular damage following a 12 min carotid artery occlusion in vivo. Other cellular and synaptic properties such as the altered adaptation of action potential firing, and altered paired-pulse and frequency potentiation at affected synapses in calbindin-D28k-deficient mice were consistent with a missing intraneuronal Ca2+ buffer. Our findings provide direct experimental evidence against a neuroprotective role for calbindin-D28k.

Abstract
The possible role of a hippocampal afterdischarge (AD) episode in eliciting locomotor movements was evaluated in freely moving rats. Electrical stimulation of either the ventral subiculum (VSB) or the hippocampal CA1 region evoked an AD of 6-50 s in duration, which was followed by an increase in locomotor activity. Similar results were also observed after unilateral injection of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA, 0.25 microg or 1 microg), a glutamate receptor agonist, into the VSB. Locomotor activity was not observed when either electrical or chemical stimulation of the VSB, or electrical stimulation of the CA1 region did not elicit an AD. In addition, the duration of the AD was positively correlated with the number of locomotor movements induced by stimulation of VSB or CA1 region. It is suggested that the hippocampal/subicular AD may be a necessary condition to induce locomotor activity by either chemical or electrical stimulation of the hippocampus in rats.

Abstract
Brain pH is thought to be an influential factor in determining susceptibility to seizures. We compared the susceptibility of brain slices from carbonic anhydrase II (CA II)-deficient mice to epileptiform activity induced by low extracellular [Mg2+], with slices from normal littermates, both bathed in artificial cerebrospinal fluid at pH 7.3. In both entorhinal cortex and hippocampal field CA1, epileptiform activity started earlier in CA II-deficient slices. Raising extracellular [CO2] (20%; extracellular pH, 6.7) reversibly blocked the epileptiform activity in normal, but not in CA II-deficient, slices. The data, combined with previous in vivo findings showing an increased resistance of mutants to seizures, suggest the presence of in vivo anticonvulsant acidosis with long-term compensatory changes that lead to in vitro 'proconvulsant' behavior in CA II-deficient slices clamped at pH 7.3.
