Much of the cell death following episodes of anoxia and ischemia in the mammalian
central nervous system has been attributed to extracellular accumulation of
glutamate and ATP, which causes a rise in [Ca(2+)](i), loss of mitochondrial
potential, and cell death. However, restoration of blood flow and reoxygenation
are frequently associated with exacerbation of tissue injury (the oxygen
paradox). Herein we describe a novel signaling pathway that is activated during
ischemia-like conditions (oxygen and glucose deprivation; OGD) and contributes to
ischemia-induced oligodendroglial cell death. OGD induced a retarded and
sustained increase in extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)
phosphorylation after restoring glucose and O(2) (reperfusion-like conditions).
Blocking the ERK1/2 pathway with the MEK inhibitor UO126 largely protected
oligodendrocytes against ischemic insults. ERK1/2 activation was blocked by the
high-affinity Zn(2+) chelator TPEN, but not by antagonists of AMPA/kainate or
P2X7 receptors that were previously shown to be involved in ischemic
oligodendroglial cell death. Using a high-affinity Zn(2+) probe, we showed that
ischemia induced an intracellular Zn(2+) rise in oligodendrocytes, and that
incubation with TPEN prevented mitochondrial depolarization and ROS generation
after ischemia. Accordingly, exposure to TPEN and the antioxidant Trolox reduced
ischemia-induced oligodendrocyte death. Moreover, UO126 blocked the
ischemia-induced increase in poly-[ADP]-ribosylation of proteins, and the
poly[ADP]-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibitor DPQ significantly inhibited
ischemia-induced oligodendroglial cell death-demonstrating that PARP-1 was
required downstream in the Zn(2+)-ERK oligodendrocyte cell death pathway.
Chelation of cytosolic Zn(2+), blocking ERK signaling, and antioxidants may be
beneficial for treating CNS white matter ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Importantly, all the inhibitors of this pathway protected oligodendrocytes when
applied after the ischemic insult.
