After mild ischemic insults, many neurons undergo delayed neuronal
death. Aberrant activation of the cell cycle machinery is thought to
contribute to apoptosis in various conditions including ischemia. We
demonstrate that loss of endogenous cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)
inhibitor p16INK4a is an early and reliable
indicator of delayed neuronal death in striatal neurons after mild
cerebral ischemia in vivo. Loss of p27Kip1,
another Cdk inhibitor, precedes cell death in neocortical neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro. The
loss of Cdk inhibitors is followed by upregulation of cyclin D1,
activation of Cdk2, and subsequent cytoskeletal disintegration. Most
neurons undergo cell death before entering S-phase, albeit a small
number (~1%) do progress to the S-phase before their death.
Treatment with Cdk inhibitors significantly reduces cell death
in vitro. These results show that alteration of cell
cycle regulatory mechanisms is a prelude to delayed neuronal death in
focal cerebral ischemia and that pharmacological interventions aimed at
neuroprotection may be usefully directed at cell cycle regulatory mechanisms.
Key words:
cell cycle; cerebral ischemia; cyclin-dependent kinases; delayed neuronal cell death; p16 INK4a; p27Kip1
