Abstract

Activation of phospholipase C (PLC) increases intracellular Ca2+ and may play a role in delayed neuronal death after ischemia. Because changes in intracellular Ca2+ are believed to participate in ischemic neuronal injury, we tested the hypothesis that PLC beta protein levels are temporally altered in brain regions that undergo neurodegeneration after global incomplete ischemia. Dogs (n = 12) were subjected to 20 minutes of global incomplete ischemia followed by recovery of either 1 (n = 5) or 7 days (n = 7). Six sham-operated animals were used as nonischemic controls. In hematoxylin and eosin-stained brain sections, neuronal density at 1 day after ischemia was unchanged relative to nonischemic controls in hippocampus CA1, caudate, and cerebellar cortex (anterior lobule). However, at 7 days after ischemia, neuronal densities were decreased to 56 +/- 15% (mean +/- SD) and 75 +/- 17% of control in CA1 and caudate, respectively. At 1 and 7 days after ischemia, the percentage of neurons showing ischemic injury increased from 13 +/- 10 to 40 +/- 35% in CA1, 24 +/- 25 to 59 +/- 16% in cerebellum, and 4 +/- 2 to 18 +/- 12% in caudate. Densitometric analysis of immunocytochemically stained brain sections from controls (n = 3). 1 day aft...Continue Reading
