Abstract:
:1. In this study we investigated the effect of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), a preferential inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), on kainic acid (KA) induced neurotoxicity in rats. Choline acetyltransferase activity (CAT), a cholinergic marker, and histological changes were employed to assess neurotoxicity. 2. In control rats, the local intrastriatal injection of 0.5 microg of KA reduced CAT from 22.9 +/- 2.2 to 14.7 +/- 2.0 nmol/h/mg tissue ((38 +/- 6)% reduction) (P < 0.001). Greater reductions in CAT were observed with 1 and 2 microg of KA ((70 +/- 6)% and (80 +/- 3)%, respectively). 7-NI aggravated KA-induced cholinergic and histological damage. KA reduced CAT by (68.2 +/- 4)% in 7-NI-treated rats, by (38 +/- 6)% in saline-treated controls, and by (41 +/- 4)% in peanut-oil- (7-NI-vehicle-) treated rats (P = 0.0047). 3. After KA, CAT activity averaged 14.3 +/- 2.0 in peanut-oil-treated rats and 7.9 +/- 1.0 nmol/h/mg tissue in 7-NI- (peanut-oil-) treated rats (P = 0.015). Similarly to changes in CAT, 7-NI treatment aggravated KA-induced histological changes indicative of neuronal damage (acute ischemic neuronal changes, disorganization of myelinated fibers bundle, and vacuolation changes of the neuropil). Treatment with 7-NI was not associated with increased mortality. 4. Our findings suggest that neuronal NO plays a neuroprotective action on excitotoxicity.
