Abstract

The toxicity of released glutamate contributes substantially to secondary cell death following spinal cord injury (SCI). In this work, the extent and time courses of glutamate-induced losses of neurons and oligodendrocytes are established. Glutamate was administered into the spinal cords of anesthetized rats at approximately the concentration and duration of its release following SCI. Cells in normal tissue, in tissue exposed to artificial cerebrospinal fluid and in tissue exposed to glutamate were counted on a confocal system in control animals and from 6 h to 28 days after treatment to assess cell losses. Oligodendrocytes were identified by staining with antibody CC-1 and neurons by immunostaining for Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN) or Neurofilament H. The density of oligodendrocytes declined precipitously in the first 6 h after exposure to glutamate, and then relatively little from 24 h to 28 days post-exposure. Similarly, neuron densities first declined rapidly, but at a decreasing rate, from 0 h to 72 h post-glutamate exposure and did not change significantly from 72 h to 28 days thereafter. The nuclei of many cells strongly and specifically stained for activated caspase-3, an indicator of apoptosis, in response to exposure to glut...Continue Reading
