Abstract：
:Clinically, dexamethasone is known to reduce cerebral edema. To further investigate the mechanism of this neuroprotection, an in vitro model of brain-derived microvessel endothelial cells (BME cells) was used to investigate the effect of dexamethasone on hypoxia-induced hyperpermeability. Furthermore, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is known to be the mediator of hypoxia-induced hyperpermeability, was evaluated. Dexamethasone (40 microg/ml=100 microM) decreased hypoxia-induced permeability and VEGF expression significantly during time periods of more than 3 h. The time dependence of the dexamethasone effect correlated with a changed mechanism by which hypoxia induced VEGF expression. This was deduced because hypoxia-induced hyperpermeability and VEGF mRNA level were decreased in the presence of an antisense oligonucleotide coding for a region which binds a mRNA stabilizing protein, but only up to 3 h of hypoxia. Furthermore, during this time period the half-life of VEGF mRNA was increased. Results suggest that dexamethasone only decreases transcriptional-induced VEGF expression and that this may be related to the efficacy of dexamethasone to treat brain edema.
