Abstract: The ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) are a family of membrane-anchored glycoproteins capable of shedding a multitude of proteins from the cell surface. Although ADAMs are being considered as crucial modulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes, their roles in neuronal death/survival are largely unexplored. In the present study, changes in brain expression of ADAM15 and ADAM17 (TACE) have been quantitatively examined in rats in response to injurious severe hypoxia (SH) and in animals which acquired hypoxic tolerance through preconditioning to mild hypoxia prior SH. SH persistently up-regulated ADAM15 mRNA and protein levels in hippocampus and neocortex but not in thalamus or hypothalamus. This effect was not observed in the preconditioned rats tolerant to SH. In contrast, hippocampal levels of ADAM17 mRNA and neocortical levels of ADAM17 mRNA and protein were largely reduced following SH in non-preconditioned rats. Hypoxic preconditioning prevented down-regulation of the adam17 gene and considerably enhanced ADAM17 protein expression in hippocampus and neocortex in response to SH. The present findings implicate ADAM15 in the processes of neuronal hypoxic injury. On the other hand, these results also provide evidence for a pro-survival neuroprotective role of ADAM17 and its engagement in the process of preconditioning-induced hypoxic tolerance. The analysis of the protein levels of soluble and membrane-bound forms of APP in the neocortex and hippocampus of rats subjected to SH and SH with preconditioning has demonstrated that an increased ADAM17 expression in preconditioned animals 24h after hypoxia corresponded to a higher level of soluble form of APP and a reduction of the membrane bound fraction which reflects the role of ADAM17 in APP shedding.

Abstract: A potent neuroprotective effect of ischemic postconditioning has previously been described using cerebral artery occlusion but this is not a practical therapeutic option. The present study has been performed to determine whether postconditioning by mild episodes of hypobaric hypoxia (hypoxic postconditioning, HP) can reduce post-hypoxic brain injury in rats. Male Wistar rats were submitted to severe hypobaric hypoxia (180Torr, 3h) followed by HP (360Torr, 2h, 3 trials spaced at 24h) starting either 3h (early HP) or 24h (delayed HP) after severe hypoxia. The structural and functional brain injury was assessed by a complex of histological techniques, behavioral methods, and by testing the functions of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA). It was found that early and delayed HP considerably attenuated post-hypoxic injury, reducing pyknosis, hyperchromatosis, and interstitial brain edema, as well as the rates of neuronal loss in hippocampus and neocortex. Delayed HP produced prominent anxiolytic effect on rat behavior, preventing development of post-hypoxic anxiety. Both modes of HP had beneficial effect on the functioning of HPA, but only delayed HP normalized completely the baseline HPA activity and its reactivity to stress. The results obtained demonstrate that postconditioning by using repetitive episodes of mild hypobaric hypoxia may provide a powerful neuroprotective procedure that can be easily adopted for clinical practice and recommended as a research tool for identification of endogenous mechanisms involved in post-ischemic neuroprotection.

Abstract: Transcription factors c-Fos and NGFI-A encoded by immediate early genes largely participate in the biochemical cascade leading to genomically driven lasting adaptation by neurons to injurious exposures including hypoxia/ischemia. Present study was designed to examine the involvement of c-Fos and NGFI-A in the development of brain hypoxic tolerance induced by mild hypoxic preconditioning. Earlier we have reported that preconditioning by repetitive mild hypobaric hypoxia (MHH) considerably increases neuronal resistance to subsequent severe injurious exposures. Herein, changes of c-Fos and NGFI-A expression in vulnerable rat brain areas (hippocampus, neocortex) in response to preconditioning MHH itself were studied using quantitative immunocytochemistry. Exposure to MHH differentially enhanced c-Fos and NGFI-A expression in neocortex and hippocampal fields 3–24h following the last MHH trial. The c-Fos up-regulation was the most pronounced in neocortex, CA1, and dentate gyrus, but it was twice lower in CA3/CA4. The up-regulation of NGFI-A in CA1, dentate gyrus and neocortex was 1.5–2-fold lower than that of c-Fos; but in CA3 and CA4 the rates of the c-Fos and NGFI-A induction were comparable. The present findings indicate that cooperative but differential activation of c-Fos and NGFI-A expression in vulnerable brain areas contribute to the development of tolerance achieved by MHH preconditioning.

Summary: The preconditioning (PC) by using mild intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (PC) increases a resistance of the brain to severe hypoxia/ischemia and various stresses. Recently, potent antidepressant-like effects of PC have been described in animal models of depression. In the present study, the impact of PC on the activity and feedback regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) impaired in depression has been studied in the model of shock-induced depression in rats. PC completely prevented depressive-like behavior (54% reduction in ambulance, 59% reduction in rearing in the open field, 654% increase of the anxiety level in the elevated plus maze), the HPA hyperactivity and the impairment of HPA feedback regulation that appeared in response to the inescapable footshock. Not affecting basal HPA activity, PC remarkably enhanced the HPA reactivity to stresses and substantially up-regulated the expression of glucocorticoid receptors in the ventral hippocampus following footshock that apparently contributes to the mechanisms responsible for the antidepressant-like action of PC.

Abstract: The effects of preconditioning using mild repetitive hypobaric hypoxia (360Torr for 2h each of 3 days) have been studied in the learned helplessness model of depression in rats. Male Wistar rats displayed persistent depressive symptoms (depressive-like behaviour in open field, increased anxiety levels in elevated plus maze, ahedonia, elevated plasma glucocorticoids and impaired dexamethasone test) following the exposure to unpredictable and inescapable footshock in the learned helplessness paradigm. Antidepressant treatment (ludiomil, 5mg/kg i.p.) augmented the development of the depressive state. The hypoxic preconditioning had a clear antidepressive action returning the behavioural and hormonal parameters to the control values and was equally effective in terms of our study as the antidepressant. The findings suggest hypoxic preconditioning as an effective tool for the prophylaxis of post-stress affective pathologies in humans. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The patterns of expression of the Bcl-2, Bax, and Bcl-xL proteins were examined immunocytochemically in rat hippocampus and neocortex after severe hypobaric hypoxia (180 Torr for 3 h) and severe hypoxia preconditioned by intermittent mild hypoxia (360 Torr for 2 h daily, for 3 consecutive days, 24 h prior to severe hypoxia). As revealed by TUNEL assay, severe hypobaric hypoxia produced extensive apoptotic damage to the neurons of hippocampal CA1–CA4 and the neocortex but not the dentate gyrus granule cells. Remarkable posthypoxic up-regulation of Bax expression maximal at 24 h was detected in the CA1–CA4 areas of hippocampus and neocortex 3–72 h after severe hypoxia. The preconditioning to severe hypoxia protected neurons from the posthypoxic apoptotic transformations, the up-regulation of Bax expression, and resulted in persistent overexpression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. We conclude that the protective action of hypoxic preconditioning is at least in part mediated by shifting of neuronal Bax/Bcl-2–Bcl-xL ratio to a favor of antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study effects of mild preconditioning hypobaric hypoxia (380Torr for 2h, repeated 3 or 6 times spaced at 24h) on brain NGFI-A immunoreactivity and passive avoidance (PA) behavior in rats exposed to severe hypoxia (160Torr for 3h). Severe hypobaric hypoxia produced extensive neuronal loss in hippocampal CA1, while the preceding hypoxic preconditioning had clear protective effect on neuronal viability of vulnerable hippocampal cells. Besides, the hypoxic preconditioning prevented impairment of acquisition and retention of PA caused by severe hypoxia. The six-trial hypobaric preconditioning was more effective in protection against PA learning deficits in severe hypoxia exposed rats than the three-trial preconditioning. The preconditioning up-regulated severe hypoxia-suppressed neocortical and hippocampal expression of NGFI-A, suggesting a possible role for NGFI-A in the neuroprotective mechanisms activated by hypoxic preconditioning.

The effect of preconditioning (PC) on the changes of nerve growth factor-induced gene A (NGFI-A) expression induced by severe hypobaric hypoxia was studied by in situ hybridization. A PC consisted of three trials of mild hypobaric hypoxia (360 Torr, 2 h) spaced at 24 h. The last trial was followed by severe hypoxia (SH; 180 Torr, 3 h) 24 h later. The PC hypoxia prevented the NGFI-A messenger RNA (mRNA) increase in the cortex, neostriatum, piriform cortex, amygdala and hippocampus detected 3 h after SH. The preconditioned SH caused a peak in NGFI-A mRNA expression at the 24 h time-point and thus abolished the dramatic decrease of the mRNA in vulnerable areas seen by 24 and 72 h after SH. The findings suggest a role of brain NGFI-A in the protective effect of hypoxic/ischemic PC. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The present study was performed to explore the effect of severe hypobaric hypoxia (180 Torr, 3 h) and severe hypoxia followed by hypoxic postconditioning (360 Torr, 2 h, 3 episodes) on DNA fragmentation and dynamics of lipid peroxidation products in rat hippocampus. The severe hypoxia induced intense DNA fragmentation in the hippocampus. A persistent decrease of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the hippocampus was also detected in response to severe hypoxia while the levels of Schiff bases did not significantly change. The postconditioning prevented severe hypoxia-induced DNA fragmentation, returned the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances to the baseline and decreased the levels of Schiff bases. These findings indicate that the neuroprotective effect of hypoxic postconditioning on hippocampal neurons detected as suppression of hypoxia-induced DNA fragmentation is accompanied by the changes in lipid peroxidation processes.

Acetylation of nucleosome histones results in relaxation of DNA and its availability for the transcriptional regulators, and is generally associated with the enhancement of gene expression. Although it is well known that activation of a variety of pro-adaptive genes represents a key event in the development of brain hypoxic/ischemic tolerance, the role of epigenetic mechanisms, in particular histone acetylation, in this process is still unexplored. The aim of the present study was to investigate changes in acetylation of histones in vulnerable brain neurons using original well-standardized model of hypobaric hypoxia and preconditioning-induced tolerance of the brain. Using quantitative immunohistochemistry and Western blot, effects of severe injurious hypobaric hypoxia (SH, 180 mm Hg, 3 h) and neuroprotective preconditioning mode (three episodes of 360 mm Hg for 2 h spaced at 24 h) on the levels of the acetylated proteins and acetylated H3 Lys24 (H3K24ac) in the neocortex and hippocampus of rats were studied. SH caused global repression of the acetylation processes in the neocortex (layers II–III, V) and hippocampus (CA1, CA3) by 3–24 h, and this effect was prevented by the preconditioning. Moreover, hypoxic preconditioning remarkably increased the acetylation of H3K24 in response to SH in the brain areas examined. The preconditioning hypoxia without subsequent SH also stimulated acetylation processes in the neocortex and hippocampus. The moderately enhanced expression of the acetylated proteins in the preconditioned rats was maintained for 24 h, whereas acetylation of H3K24 was intense but transient, peaked at 3 h. The novel data obtained in the present study indicate that large activation of the acetylation processes, in particular acetylation of histones might be essential for the development of brain hypoxic tolerance.

Preconditioning with repetitive mild hypobaric hypoxia is known to increase tolerance of susceptible brain neurons to severe hypoxia, whereas a single trial of mild hypoxia has been ineffective. In the present study, the effects of three-trial and one-trial hypobaric preconditioning on the expression of the protective transcription factor phosphorylated CREB (pCREB) and neurotrophin BDNF, before and after severe hypobaric hypoxia, have been comparatively studied in the neocortex of rats. As revealed by quantitative immunocytochemistry, the severe hypobaric hypoxia (180Torr, 3h) substantially down-regulated the levels of pCREB and BDNF in cortical neurons assessed 24h after the treatment. One trial of mild hypoxia (360Torr, 2h) also reduced by half the number of BDNF-expressing cells, but had no effect on pCREB expression in the neocortex. In contrast, the exposure to three trials of mild hypoxia at 24h intervals considerably up-regulated pCREB and BDNF levels in the neocortex of rats. Only preconditioning by three trials of mild hypoxia (360Torr, 2h, 24h intervals), but not a single trial preconditioning, was neuroprotective significantly enhancing the pCREB and BDNF neuronal expression in response to severe hypoxic challenge. The results of the present study indicate that development of the neuronal hypoxic tolerance induced by the three-trial mild hypoxic preconditioning is apparently associated with activation of CREB and BDNF expression.

Abstract: Severe hypoxia results in functional and structural injury of the brain. A preconditioning with repetitive episodes of mild hypoxia considerably ameliorates neuronal resistance to subsequent severe hypoxia. Activation of endogenous antioxidants including Cu, Zn-depending superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD) (EC.1.15.1.1) is one of the main cell defense mechanisms against oxidative stress induced by hypoxia. Alterations of expression and enzyme activity of Cu, Zn-SOD 3 and 24h after severe hypobaric hypoxia in forebrain structures of preconditioned and non-preconditioned rats were investigated. We found that hypoxia without preconditioning suppressed the Cu, Zn-SOD enzyme activity at 3h time-point but preconditioning essentially modified the reaction to severe hypoxia by increasing the expression and activity of Cu, Zn-SOD during early stages of reoxygenation crucial for apoptosis initiation.

Induction of endogenous antioxidants is one of the key molecular mechanisms of cell resistance to hypoxia/ischemia. The effect of severe hypoxia on the expression of cytosolic antioxidant thioredoxin-1 (Trx) in hippocampus and neocortex was studied in preconditioned and non-preconditioned rats. The preconditioning consisted of three trials of mild hypobaric hypoxia (360Torr, 2h) spaced at 24h. Twenty-four hours after the last trial rats were subjected to severe hypobaric hypoxia (180Torr, 3h). Trx expression was studied by immunocytochemistry. In hippocampus severe hypobaric hypoxia rapidly induced Trx expression, which remained elevated still at 24h. In neocortex the enhanced expression appeared only at 24h. The preconditioning significantly augmented severe hypoxia-induced Trx-immunoreactivity at 3h but not at 24h. These findings point out that Trx contributes to mechanisms of brain tolerance to hypobaric hypoxia, especially in early periods after the exposure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
