| Research Abstract |
To study a putative paracellular protective mechanism of astrosytes for neurons, immunohistochemical analysis was performed in ischemic rat brain, which colocalized with the expression of heme oxygase1 (HO-1) in astrocytes surrounding dying, TUNEL positive neurons. As an in vitro paradigm for ischemia, cultured astrocytes were exposed to normobaric hypoxia(pO2〜10 torr), which triggered〜120-fold increase in the expression of a 33 kDa stress protein, identiried as HO-1. Induction of H0-1 message was observed within 4 hrs of hypoxia and peaked at 12 hours, accompanied by an accelerated transcription of HO-1 message. Consistent with the induction of HO-1 a platelet bioassay revealed production of carbon monoxide by reoxygenated astrocytes. The presence of CO in the medium decelerated the hypoxiamediated apoptotic type of cell death in cultreud cerebellar neurons via lowering the activity of CPP32, a key enzyme regulating apoptotic cell death. This protection against apoptosis was likely mediated by CO-mediated increases in intracellular cGMP levels, and addition of cGMP analogue to hypoxic neuronal cultures suppressed CPP32 activity and promoted neuronal survival. These data describe a potentially important paracellular pathway through which astrocytes may rescue neaby neurons from ischemic death.
