Recent studies have shown that release of mitochondrial cytochrome
c is a critical step in the apoptosis process. We have reported that
cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c in vivo occurred after transient focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) in rats and
preceded the peak of DNA fragmentation. Although the involvement of
reactive oxygen species in the cytosolic redistribution of cytochrome c
in vitro has been suggested, the detailed mechanism by
which cytochrome c release is mediated in vivo has not
yet been established. Also, the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in cytochrome c release is unknown. These issues can be addressed using
knock-out mutants that are deficient in the level of the mitochondrial
antioxidant manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD). In this study we
examined the subcellular distribution of the cytochrome c protein in
both wild-type mice and heterozygous knock-outs of the Mn-SOD gene
(Sod2 /+) after permanent FCI, in which apoptosis is assumed to
participate. Cytosolic cytochrome c was detected as early as 1 hr after
ischemia, and correspondingly, mitochondrial cytochrome c showed a
significant reduction 2 hr after ischemia (p < 0.01). Cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c was significantly higher in Sod2 /+ mice compared with wild-type animals
(p < 0.05). N-benzyloxycarbonyl-val-ala-asp-fluoromethyl ketone
(z-VAD.FMK), a nonselective caspase inhibitor, did not affect
cytochrome c release after ischemia. A significant amount of DNA
laddering was detected 24 hr after ischemia and increased in Sod2
/+ mice. These data suggest that Mn-SOD blocks cytosolic release of
cytochrome c and could thereby reduce apoptosis after permanent FCI.
