Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as a neuronal messenger molecule in hypoxic/ischemic cell injury (Nowicki et al., 1991; Trifiletti, 1992). We conducted studies in a model of combined glucose-oxygen deprivation using cultured rat cerebellar granule cells. Experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that sustained elevation of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) and NO generation act in concert to trigger neuronal injury after anoxic insult. A hypoxic state was achieved by perfusing the cells with medium pre-equilibrated with argon gas. [Ca2+]i was monitored using digital-imaging fluorescence microscopy in cells loaded with fura-2 AM. Under short-term hypoxic conditions, cells displayed a progressive and sustained, moderate increase of [Ca2+]i, which returned to near basal levels on restoration of O2-containing medium. Prolonged hypoxic conditions (> 60 min) caused irreversible elevation of [Ca2+]i followed by disruption of cell membrane integrity, as indicated by severe swelling, loss of regular cell shape and processes, leakage of dye fura-2, and propidium iodide uptake ("point of no return"). Pretreatment with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 microM), a specific NO synthase inhibitor, markedly delayed the onset o...Continue Reading
