Abstract:
:Rat cerebellar granule cells, when subjected to a glucose-free environment for 4 h, developed extensive degeneration of neuronal cell bodies and their associated neurite network over the following 24 h. This neuronal damage was quantitated with a colorimetric assay using the metabolic dye 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide. Hypoglycemic neuronal injury could be markedly reduced by the presence of both competitive (3-(+/-)-2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid) and non-competitive (phencyclidine) N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, but not by kainate/quisqualate preferring antagonists 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione. Glucose deprivation neuronal injury was also reduced by adding glutamate-degrading enzymes to the incubation medium. Monosialoganglioside GM1, but not its asialo derivative (lacking sialic acid), was also effective in protecting against hypoglycemic neurodegeneration when included during the period of glucose deprivation. These results suggest that the neuronal injury to cerebellar granule cells resulting from glucose deprivation is mediated predominantly by activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate type of excitatory amino acid receptor, perhaps through the action of endogenously released glutamate. Furthermore, the monosialoganglioside GM1, a member of a class of naturally occurring sialoglycosphingolipids, is able to attenuate this neuronal injury--as already observed for glutamate neurotoxicity and anoxic neuronal death in cerebellar granule cells. Gangliosides may thus prove to be of therapeutic utility in excitatory amino acid-associated neuropathologies.
