Research Abstract |
(1)Increase in [Ca^<2+>] _i in response to oxygen-glucose deprivation was inhibited in mechanically injured hippocampal slices in comparison with non-injured slices 1-3 days after the injury. The fact suggests that intrinsic anti-ischemic activity may be induced in the vicinity of the injury. (2)Irreversible neuronal changes may be produced at 1-1.5 minfollowing a rapid depolarization of membrane potential induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation. Both Ca^<2+>-influx through NMDA receptor channels and Ca^<2+>release from intracellular site may associate the irreversible neuronal changes. (3) Mild acidosis inhibited both of increases in [Ca^<2+>] _i and membrane depolarization of hippocampal neurons in response to oxygen-glucose deprivation. (4)Active changes in [Ca^<2+>] _i in glial cells indicate important roles of glia for induction of LTP and ischemic changes in neurons.(5)LTP in hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 synaps was suggested to be induced presynaptically. (6)Voltage-gated calcium channels contributing to release of chemical transmitters in hippocampus are assigned to be P-and L-type high threshold calcium channels but not to N-type calcium channels. (7)The molecular structure of subtypes composing the NMDA receptors was determined. Different distributions of each subtype may relate to vulnerability of neurons to ischemic damage. (8)Calcium binding proteins associating with neurotransmitter release from presynaptic membrane were determined. These proteins may associate with receptor-mediated intracellular signal transductions. (9)To assess unknown gene family induced by ischemia, new and high-sensitive cDNA subtraction method "directional tag PCR subtraction" was developed. (10)Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor reduced the infarction area. Inhibitors of the arachidonic acid metabolism inhibited the irreversible neuronal depolarization in hippocampal slices.
