Neuronal apoptosis and necrosis following spinal cord ischemia in the rat

Experimental Neurology
H KatoD W Choi

Abstract

We examined the characteristics of neuronal death induced by ischemia in the spinal cord. Spinal cord ischemia was induced in Long-Evans rats by occlusion of the descending aorta with a 2F Fogarty catheter for 20 min (model 1) or more limited aortic occlusion (15 min) coupled with blood volume reduction (model 2); rats were sacrificed 6 h-7 days later. The animals developed variable paraparesis in model 1 and reliable paraplegia in model 2. The extent of histopathological spinal cord damage, being maximal in the lumbar cord, correlated well with the severity of paraparesis. Two distinct types of spinal cord neuronal death were observed, consistent with necrosis and apoptosis. Neuronal necrosis was seen in gray matter laminae 3-7, characterized by the rapid (6 h) onset of eosinophilia on hematoxylin/eosin-stained sections, and gradual (1-7 days) development of eosinophilic ghosting. Although TUNEL positivity was present, disintegration of membranes and cytoplasmic organelles was seen under electron microscopy. Neuronal apoptosis was seen after 1-2 days in dorsal horn laminae 1-3, characterized by both TUNEL positivity and electron microscopic appearance of nuclear chromatin aggregation and the formation of apoptotic bodies.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

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
