In rat hippocampal CA1 neurons recorded intracellularly from tissue slices, a rapid depolarization occurred approximately 5 min after application of ischemia-simulating medium. In extracellular recordings obtained from CA1 region, a rapid negative-going DC potential (rapid DC potential) was recorded, corresponding to a rapid depolarization. When oxygen and glucose were reintroduced after generating the rapid depolarization, the membrane further depolarized and the potential became 0 mV after 5 min. Contrary, the DC potential began to repolarize slowly and subsequently a slow negative-going DC potential (slow DC potential) occurred within 1 min. A prolonged application of ischemia-simulating medium suppressed the slow DC potential. Addition of a high concentration of ouabain in normoxic medium reproduced a rapid but not a slow DC potential. The slow DC potential was reduced in low Na+- or Co2+-containing medium, but was not affected in low Cl-, high K+ or K+-free medium, suggesting that the slow DC potential is Na+-and Ca2+-dependent. Ni2+ (Ca2+ channel blocker as well as the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker) and benzamil hydrochloride (Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker) reduced the slow DC potential dose-dependently. These results suggest that the slow DC potential is mediated by forward mode operation of Na+/Ca2+ exchangers in non-neuronal cells, and that reactivation of Na+, K+-ATPase is necessary to the Na+/Ca2 +exchanger activity.

Glucocorticoids have been reported to aggravate ischemic neuronal damage. Because energy failure is a crucial factor in the development of ischemic neuronal injury, the effects of dexamethasone on histologic outcome and energy metabolism were investigated in gerbil brain. Dexamethasone (3 microg, i.c.v.) was administered 1 h prior to ischemia, and its effect on delayed neuronal death caused by 2 min of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion was observed in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. The brain concentration of ATP after various durations of decapitation ischemia was determined, and the effect of dexamethasone (3 microg, i.c.v.) was examined. Na+,K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) activity was evaluated after the administration of the agent. Forebrain ischemia for 2 min produced neuronal damage in animals pretreated with dexamethasone, although neuronal damage was not observed in vehicle-injected animals. Decapitation ischemia for 0.5 and 1 min reduced the brain ATP concentration to 44% and 15% of the basal level, respectively. Dexamethasone attenuated the ischemia-induced reduction in ATP, and the values were 58% and 25% of the basal level, respectively. Na+,K+-ATPase activity at pH 6.7 was suppressed to 47% by dexamethasone treatment (3 microg, i.c.v.), whereas the activity at pH 7.4 was not influenced by the agent. The results show that a contributing factor to the aggravation of ischemic neuronal damage may be a disturbance in Na+,K+-ATPase despite adequate levels of ATP.

An ischemia-induced gene was screened using a differential display technique in mouse transient forebrain ischemia. One of the ischemia-responsive clones was found to encode mouse hsp40. HSP40 has a critical regulatory function in the HSC70 ATPase activity. Expression of hsp40 mRNA was low in the nonischemic mouse hippocampus, but it was significantly upregulated 4 hr after ischemia by Northern blot analysis. In situ hybridization analysis revealed hsp40 mRNA induction in the neuron. HSP40 protein expression was also enhanced in the pyramidal and dentate granular neurons from 2 to 4 days after ischemia. The temporal expression and distribution profile of HSC70 protein was similar to that of HSP40, and both proteins were colocalized in ischemic hippocampal neurons. In the gerbil transient forebrain ischemia model, both HSP40 and HSC70 proteins were expressed strongly in ischemia-resistant CA3 neurons and dentate granule cells 1 day after 5 min ischemia, but were not expressed in vulnerable CA1 neurons. However, both proteins were in parallel expressed in the tolerance-acquired CA1 neurons. Based on the current observation that both HSP40 and HSC70 proteins were synergistically expressed in the ischemia-resistant and tolerance-acquired neurons, cochaperone HSP40 may play a significant role against postischemic neuronal response and lead to cell survival through interaction with simultaneously induced HSC70.

The effects of dexamethasone on adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (ATPase) activity and the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) were investigated in acidotic mouse brain. Dexamethasone (3 mg/kg, i.p.) or vehicle was administered 3 h before decapitation ischemia, and the brain concentration of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) was determined 0.5-2 min after ischemia. The effects of dexamethasone (0.3-3 mg/kg, i.p.) on Na(+),K(+)-activated ATPase (Na(+),K(+)-ATPase) and Ca(2+)-ATPase activities were evaluated at pH 7.4 and 6.8. Changes in [Ca(2+)](i) in an acidic medium were determined in hippocampal slices by microfluorometry using rhod-2 acetoxymethyl ester as a Ca(2+) marker, and the effects of dexamethasone (240 microg/l) was evaluated. Decapitation ischemia for 0.5 and 1 min reduced the brain ATP contents to 32% and 16% of the basal level, respectively. Dexamethasone slightly suppressed the extent of the decrease in the ATP level. Although dexamethasone did not affect Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity at pH 7.4, the activity was suppressed by dexamethasone (3 mg/kg) to 68% at pH 6.8. The activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase was not affected by dexamethasone at either pH 7.4 or pH 6.8. When the pH of the medium of the brain slices was changed from 7.4 to 6.8, almost no increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was observed in the control group. The dexamethasone treatment increased [Ca(2+)](i) in the CA1 field and dentate gyrus immediately after induction of the acidic medium, the effect being significant after 150 s. Because anaerobic glucose metabolism in the early stage of ischemia enhances intracellular lactic acidosis, the findings may suggest a mechanism for the aggravation of ischemic neuronal damage by glucocorticoids.

In a previous study, we suggested that GABAergic neurons might be resistant to ischemic insult, because of the maintenance of the GABA shunt, which is one of the ATP synthetic pathways in neurons. In the present study, we identified Na(+)-K(+) ATPase immunoreactivity in the gerbil hippocampus in order to determine whether changes in Na(+)-K(+) ATPase immunoreactivity correlate with GABA shunt following ischemic insult. At 12 h after ischemia-reperfusion, Na(+)-K(+) ATPase immunoreactivity accumulated in some neurons in the CA1 region. However, the protein content of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase was not altered. Interestingly, the density of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase immunoreactivity in neurons and the protein content in the CA1 region was intensified in the 24 h post-ischemic group. As a result of double immunofluorescence study, Na(+)-K(+) ATPase immunoreactive neurons were identified with GABAergic neurons. Therefore, our findings suggest that the increase of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase in GABAergic neurons may be able to explain the resistance of these cells to ischemic insult, and support our previous hypothesis that GABA may play an important role as a metabolite in the survival of GABAergic neurons after ischemic insult.

In the present study to evaluate the effects of ischemia on sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na(+)-K+ ATPase) alpha1 subunit (alpha6F) expression in the glia, the immunodensities of both Na(+)-K+ ATPase and the glial fibrillary acidic protein in the hippocampus were measured and analyzed. In the sham hippocampus, alpha6F immunoreactivity was mainly observed in the both the molecular layer and the polymorphic layer of dentate gyrus. At 30 min after ischemic insult, the alpha6F immunoreactivity was markedly decreased in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, in contrast to the appearance of this immunoreactivity in the hilar neurons. Up to 12 h after ischemic insult, the alpha6F immunoreactivity was re-enhanced in the molecular layer of dentate gyrus. In addition, the alpha6F immunoreactivity appeared slightly in the glial components in the hippocampal region. Four days after ischemia-reperfusion, the intensity of alpha6F immunoreactivity in the glial cells was highest. At this time point, strong alpha6F immunoreactivity was colocalized with GFAP immunoreactivity in the strata radiatum of the CA1 and the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. These results suggest that the enhancement of alpha6F immunoreactivity may be a compensatory response to regulate the ion homeostasis in the brain. In addition, the maintenance of Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity in the astrocytes may explain the resistant characteristics of these cells to ischemic insults.

The aim of the present study was to determine the potential therapeutic value of 21-aminosteroid U-74389G, on blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown and edema in association with the changes in synaptosomal Na(+)/K(+) and Mg(2+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase activities in rat brain subjected to post-ischemic reperfusion injury. Brain ischemia was achieved by means of four-vessel occlusion model for 25 min and animals were sacrificed after 12 h reperfusion. An increase of cerebral tissue water content, blood-brain disruption and the changes of synaptosomal Na(+)/K(+) and Mg(2+)/Ca(2+)-ATPases activities were evaluated. U-74389G was given intraperitoneally at two times as 5 mg/kg at 10 min prior to ischemia and at the beginning of reperfusion. Edema was determined by means of wet-dried weight method, and BBB of extravasation of Evan's blue dye. Extravasation of Evan's blue dye into brain following ischemia and reperfusion was 2.4-fold of control value and brought close to control levels by the effect of U-74389G (p<0.001). Post-ischemic reperfusion injury caused an increase of 3.7% in tissue water content of whole brain and administration of U-74389G lowered the cerebral edema (p<0.001). The loses in the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase activities occurred as 42.1% (p<0.01) and 65.7% (p<0.001) of control value, respectively. While Mg(2+)/Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was enhanced compared to vehicle-treated group of animals (p<0.01), Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity was fully recovered when compared to control by U-74389G (p>0.05). U-74389G also significantly attenuated neuronal necrosis (p<0.001) which was determined in the hippocampal CA1 subfield. Blood-brain barrier protection, attenuation of brain edema and neuronal necrosis concomitant with the stabilizing of membrane-bound enzymes brought about by the effect of U-74389G suggest that 21-aminosteroids are worthy of consideration in the acute treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Cerebral ischemia in vivo or oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in vitro are characterized by major disturbances in neuronal ionic homeostasis, including significant rises in intracellular Na(+), Ca(2+), and Cl(-) and extracellular K(+). Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the cation-chloride cotransporters Na-K-Cl cotransporter isoform I (NKCC-1) and K-Cl cotransporter isoform II (KCC2), as they may play an important role in the disruption of ion gradients and subsequent ischemic damage. In this study, we examined the ability of cation-chloride transport inhibitors to influence the biochemical (i.e. ATP) and histological recovery of neurons in adult hippocampal slices exposed to OGD. In the hippocampus, 7 min of OGD caused a loss of ATP that recovered partially (approximately 50%) during 3 h of reoxygenation. Furosemide, which inhibits the NKCC-1 and KCC2 cotransporters, and bumetanide, a more specific NKCC-1 inhibitor, enhanced ATP recovery when measured 3 h after OGD. Furosemide and bumetanide also attenuated area CA1 neuronal injury after OGD. However, higher concentrations of these compounds appear to have additional non-specific toxic effects, limiting ATP recovery following OGD and promoting neuronal injury. The KCC2 cotransporter inhibitor DIOA and the Cl(-) ATPase inhibitor ethacrynic acid caused neuronal death even in the absence of OGD and promoted cytochrome c release from isolated mitochondria, indicating non-specific toxicities of these compounds.

An increase in intra-neuronal Ca(2+) concentration has been associated to status epilepticus (SE). Ca(2+) is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum, mediated by the Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCAs). Here we studied the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and the SERCA2b distribution in the hippocampus of rats submitted to 5h of SE. The Ca(2+)-uptake was measured using [45Ca]CaCl(2) and the hippocampal distribution of SERCA2b was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. A reduction in the amount of cells expressing SERCA2b in CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus was observed. However, the surviving cells of these regions increased the SERCA2b immunoreactivity, when compared with control tissues. The Ca(2+)-ATPase activity measured in all hippocampal formation was not modified by SE. These results suggest that SE promotes a redistribution of SERCA2b in the hippocampus as a compensatory Ca(2+)-transport mechanism.

Within 2 min of stroke onset, neurons and glia in brain regions most deprived of blood (the ischemic core) undergo a sudden and profound loss of membrane potential caused by failure of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. This anoxic depolarization (AD) represents a collapse in membrane ion selectivity that causes acute neuronal injury because neurons simply cannot survive the energy demands of repolarization while deprived of oxygen and glucose. In vivo and in live brain slices, the AD resists blockade by antagonists of neurotransmitter receptors (including glutamate) or by ion channel blockers. Our neuroprotective strategy is to identify AD blockers that minimally affect neuronal function. If the conductance underlying AD is not normally active, its selective blockade should not alter neuronal excitability. Imaging changes in light transmittance in live neocortical and hippocampal slices reveal AD onset, propagation, and subsequent dendritic damage. Here we identify several sigma-1 receptor ligands that block the AD in slices that are pretreated with 10-30 microM of ligand. Blockade prevents subsequent cell swelling, dendritic damage, and loss of evoked field potentials recorded in layers II/III of neocortex and in the CA1 region of hippocampus. Even when AD onset is merely delayed, electrophysiological recovery is markedly improved. With ligand treatment, evoked axonal conduction and synaptic transmission remain intact. The large nonselective conductance that drives AD is still unidentified but represents a prime upstream target for suppressing acute neuronal damage arising during the first critical minutes of stroke. Sigma receptor ligands provide insight to better define the properties of the channel responsible for anoxic depolarization. Video clips of anoxic depolarization and spreading depression can be viewed at http://anatomy.queensu.ca/faculty/andrew.cfm.
