Induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) has
been implicated in cellular apoptosis and in ischemia-reperfusion injury. During MPT, a channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane, the
mitochondrial megachannel, opens and causes isolated mitochondria to
swell. MPT and mitochondrial swelling is inhibited by cyclosporin A
(CsA), which may also inhibit apoptosis in some cells.
Treatment with CsA (50 mg/kg, i.v.) showed a robust reduction of brain
damage when administered 30 min before insulin-induced hypoglycemic
isoelectricity of 30 min duration. Ultrastructural examination of the
dentate gyrus revealed a marked swelling of dendrites and mitochondria
during the hypoglycemic insult. In CsA-treated animals, mitochondria
resumed a normal and contracted appearance during and after the
hypoglycemic insult. Treatment with FK 506 (2 mg/kg, i.v.), a compound
with immunosuppressive action similar to that of CsA, was not
protective. Studies on the swelling kinetics of isolated mitochondria
from the hippocampus showed that CsA, but not FK 506, inhibits calcium
ion-induced MPT.
We conclude that CsA treatment during hypoglycemic coma inhibits the
MPT and reduces damage and that mitochondria and the MPT are likely to
be involved in the development of hypoglycemic brain damage in the
rat.
