D. Necchi et al., EFFECTS OF CIS-DICHLORODIAMMINEPLATINUM ON THE MOLECULAR LAYER INTERNEURONS OF THE IMMATURE RAT CEREBELLUM - A PUTATIVE ROLE FOR CALCIUM, European journal of morphology, 33(1), 1995, pp. 81-89
The administration of cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum to rats at 10 days
of postnatal life (PD 10) alters the immunoreactivity for parvalbumin
of the interneurons of the cerebellar molecular layer at late post-tre
atment intervals. This can result in, but may be also a consequence of
the elevation in the cytosolic calcium concentration. Changes in the
intracellular calcium homeostasis may induce damage of the cytoskeleta
l apparatus and impair growth of the cell processes leading to alterat
ion of the ultrastructure of the cell.
