Endogenous cannabinoid signaling pathways have been implicated in
protection of the brain from hypoxia, ischemia, and trauma, but the
mechanism for these protective effects is uncertain. We found that in
CB1 cannabinoid receptor knock-out mice, mortality from permanent focal
cerebral ischemia was increased, infarct size and neurological deficits
after transient focal cerebral ischemia were more severe, cerebral
blood flow in the ischemic penumbra during reperfusion was reduced, and
NMDA neurotoxicity was increased compared with wild-type littermates.
These findings indicate that endogenous cannabinoid signaling pathways
protect mice from ischemic stroke by a mechanism that involves CB1
receptors, and suggest that both blood vessels and neurons may be
targets of this protective effect.
Key words:
ischemia; cannabinoid; CB1 receptor; stroke; cerebral
blood flow; NMDA
