Effects of hypothermia on hypoxia-induced apoptosis in cultured neurons from developing rat forebrain: comparison with preconditioning.

Abstract：

:In neuronal cultures from the forebrain of 14-d-old rat embryos, transient hypoxia (95% N2/5% CO2, 37 degrees C) for 6 h has been shown to trigger delayed apoptotic death through sequential changes in protein synthesis, whereas preconditioning by a brief episode of hypoxia can rescue neurons. Because hypothermia has been reported to be neuroprotective, the present study was designed to test the influence of reduced temperature on the consequences of lethal hypoxia in our culture model, and cellular mechanisms involved were compared with those underlying preconditioning effects. After 6 d in vitro, cultures were subjected to hypoxia for 6 h. They were either placed at 32 degrees C concomitantly with hypoxia for 6 h or preconditioned the day before by a 1-h episode of hypoxia. The hypoxic insult decreased cell viability by 38% at 96 h after reoxygenation, and 23% of the neurons showed morphologic features of apoptosis. Both hypothermia and preconditioning prevented neuronal death and reduced apoptosis. Preconditioning led to time-dependent changes in leucine incorporation, with persistent overexpression of the survival proteins Bcl-2 and heat-shock protein 70. It also increased thymidine incorporation, in line with induction of the cofactor for DNA polymerase, proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Hypothermia reduced basal apoptosis and necrosis, but did not affect thymidine incorporation, and abolished hypoxia-associated protein synthesis. Therefore, both treatments were protective against neuronal injury consecutive to hypoxia in developing brain neurons in vitro. Whereas preconditioning activated a program that stimulated the expression of anti-apoptotic gene products and regulatory components of the cell cycle, hypothermia did not trigger active processes, but depressed cell activity, which in turn may impair the apoptotic phenomenon.
