The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate is released from axons
and glia under hypoxic/ischemic conditions. In
vitro, oligodendrocytes (OLs) express non-NMDA glutamate
receptors (GluRs) and are susceptible to GluR-mediated excitotoxicity.
We evaluated the role of GluR-mediated OL excitotoxicity in
hypoxic/ischemic white matter injury in the developing brain.
Hypoxic/ischemic white matter injury is thought to mediate
periventricular leukomalacia, an age-dependent white matter lesion seen
in preterm infants and a common antecedent to cerebral palsy.
Hypoxia/ischemia in rat pups at postnatal day 7 (P7) produced selective
white matter lesions and OL death. Furthermore, OLs in pericallosal
white matter express non-NMDA GluRs at P7. Unilateral carotid ligation
in combination with hypoxia (6% O2 for 1 hr)
resulted in selective, subcortical white matter injury with a marked
ipsilateral decrease in immature and myelin basic protein-expressing
OLs that was also significantly attenuated by
6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzo(f)quinoxaline-2,3-dione (NBQX). Intracerebral AMPA demonstrated greater susceptibility to OL injury at P7 than in
younger or older pups, and this was attenuated by systemic pretreatment
with the AMPA antagonist NBQX. These results indicate a parallel,
maturation-dependent susceptibility of immature OLs to AMPA and
hypoxia/ischemia. The protective efficacy of NBQX suggests a role for
glutamate receptor-mediated excitotoxic OL injury in immature white
matter in vivo.
