Research Abstract |
Seven-day-old rats were exposed to left carotid artery ligation followed by 2 hours of hypoxia (8% oxygen/92% nitrogen). Immunohistochemical studies of glial glutamate transporter(GLT1) and nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) were performed as compared with MAP2 (as a neuronal marker) and GFAP (as a glial marker). At early stage (3 hours) after ischemic injury, GLT1 expression in ischemic core was preserved in a similar to degree of the contralateral side. At 72 hours after ischemic injury, GLT1 immunoreactivity in both hippocampus and thalamus was increased in reactive astrocytes. On the contrary, nNOS immunoreactivity in ishemic side was markedly decreased following neuronal loss. Thus the glial glutamate transporter may play a role as a neuronal protector against hypoxic-ischemia in immature neonatal rat brains.
