The widespread neuronal injury that results after brief activation
of highly Ca2+-permeable NMDA channels may, in large
part, reflect mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and the
consequent production of injurious oxygen radicals. In contrast,
AMPA/kainate receptor activation generally causes slower toxicity, and
most studies have not found evidence of comparable oxygen radical
production. Subsets of central neurons, composed mainly of GABAergic
inhibitory interneurons, express AMPA/kainate channels that are
directly permeable to Ca2+ ions. Microfluorometric
techniques were performed by using the oxidation-sensitive dye
hydroethidine (HEt) to determine whether the relatively rapid
Ca2+ flux through AMPA/kainate channels expressed on
GABAergic neurons results in oxygen radical production comparable to
that triggered by NMDA. Consistent with previous studies, NMDA
exposures triggered increases in fluorescence in most cultured cortical
neurons, whereas high K+ (50 mM)
exposures (causing depolarization-induced Ca2+
influx through voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels)
caused little fluorescence change. In contrast, kainate exposure caused
fluorescence increases in a distinct subpopulation of neurons;
immunostaining for glutamate decarboxylase revealed the responding
neurons to constitute mainly the GABAergic population. The effect of
NMDA, kainate, and high K+ exposures on oxygen
radical production paralleled the effect of these exposures on
intracellular Ca2+ levels when they were monitored
with the low-affinity Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2FF,
but not with the high-affinity dye fura-2. Inhibition of mitochondrial
electron transport with CN or rotenone almost
completely blocked kainate-triggered oxygen radical production.
Furthermore, antioxidants attenuated neuronal injury resulting from
brief exposures of NMDA or kainate. Thus, as with NMDA receptor
activation, rapid Ca2+ influx through
Ca2+-permeable AMPA/kainate channels also may
result in mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and consequent
injurious oxygen radical production.
