We investigated the expression, activation, and distribution
of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38s) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) using
Western blotting and immunohistochemistry in gerbil hippocampus after
transient forebrain ischemia to clarify the role of these kinases in
delayed neuronal death (DND) in the CA1 subfield. Immunoblot analysis
demonstrated that activities of JNK, p38, and ERK in whole hippocampus
were increased after 5 min of global ischemia. We used an
immunohistochemical study to elucidate the temporal and spatial
expression of these kinases after transient global ischemia. The
immunohistochemical study showed that active JNK and p38
immunoreactivities were enhanced at 15 min of reperfusion and then
gradually reduced and disappeared in the hippocampal CA1 region. On the
other hand, in CA3 neurons, active JNK and p38 immunoreactivities were
enhanced at 15 min of reperfusion and peaked at 6 hr of reperfusion and
then gradually reduced but was continuously detected 72 hr after
ischemia. Active ERK immunoreactivity was observed transiently in CA3
fibers and dentate gyrus. Pretreatment with SB203580, a p38 inhibitor,
but not with PD98059, an ERK kinase 1/2 inhibitor, reduced
ischemic cell death in the CA1 region after transient global ischemia
by inhibiting the activity of p38. These findings indicate that the p38
pathway may play an important role in DND during brain ischemia in
gerbil. Components of the pathway are important target molecules for
clarifying the mechanism of neuronal death.
