Autophagic neuron death in neonatal brain ischemia/hypoxia

Autophagy

Abstract

Hypoxia/ischemia (H/I) brain injury at birth is an important cause of cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy. The H/I insult also causes energy failure, oxidative stress, and unbalanced ion fluxes, leading to high induction of autopahgy in brain neurons. Since the mice unable to execute autophagy (due to brain-specific deletion of Atg7 or Atg5) die by massive loss of cerebral and cerebellar neurons with accumulation of ubiquitin aggregates, induction of neuronal autophagy after H/I injury is generally considered neuroprotective by maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, our recent results show that hippocampal pyramidal neurons undergoing caspase-dependent or -independent death following neonatal H/I injury possess abundant LC3-positive granules, and such H/I neuronal death is largely prevented by Atg7 deficiency. In the present review we discuss the roles of autophagy and other forms of programmed cell death in the neonatal H/I brain insult.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
