Abstract:
:Preconditioning is an experimental strategy for reducing ischemic brain damage. There are reports that brief exposure of neurons to NMDA-receptor antagonists may be an adequate preconditioning stressor. We studied effects of preconditioning of the cerebellar granule cells (CGC) in primary culture by 30-minute exposure to NMDA receptor antagonists 0.5 μM MK-801 or 5 μM memantine. CGC were challenged with oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) or excitotoxic glutamate and cell viability was tested 24 h later using calcein/ethidium homodimer-1 staining. We studied glutamate-induced increases in 45Ca uptake and in the intracellular Ca2+ level assessed with the fluorescent probe fluo-3. The number of living cells in OGD-treated cultures decreased by 42%. Preconditioning with MK-801 or memantine 24 h earlier reduced cell death to 8% and 30% and 48 h earlier to 27% and 33%, respectively. Pretreatment with MK-801 followed by the standard MK-801 wash out was slightly cytoprotective in a glutamate excitotoxicity test performed immediately; the protection increased significantly 24 h after preconditioning. In both cases the extensive wash out of MK-801 after preconditioning resulted in loss of cytoprotection. The increase in the intracellular Ca2+ level evoked by glutamate was decreased 24 h after preconditioning and even halved in the neuronal cultures 48 h after preconditioning with MK-801 and memantine. Glutamate-induced 45Ca uptake in these cells was decreased by 18%, irrespective of the time laps after preconditioning. These results demonstrate that preconditioning of CGC with NMDA receptor antagonists induces prolonged tolerance to OGD, which is accompanied by the reduction of glutamate-evoked calcium fluxes. The causal relationship between these effects may be suggested.
