CA1 pyramidal neurons degenerate after transient global ischemia, whereas neurons in other regions of the hippocampus remain intact. A step in this selective injury is Ca(2+) and/or Zn(2+) entry through Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptor channels; reducing Ca(2+) permeability of AMPA receptors via expression of Ca(2+)-impermeable GluR2(R) channels or activation of CRE transcription in the hippocampus of adult rats in vivo using shutoff-deficient pSFV-based vectors rescues vulnerable CA1 pyramidal neurons from forebrain ischemic injury. Conversely, the induction of Ca(2+) and/or Zn(2+) influx through AMPA receptors by expressing functional Ca(2+)-permeable GluR2(Q) channels causes the postischemic degeneration of hippocampal granule neurons that otherwise are insensitive to ischemic insult. Thus, the AMPA receptor subunit GluR2 gates entry of Ca(2+) and/or Zn(2+) that leads to cell death following transient forebrain ischemia.
短暂性全脑缺血后,CA1锥体神经元会发生退化,而海马体其他区域的神经元则保持完整。这种选择性损伤的一个步骤是Ca(2+)和/或Zn(2+)通过Ca(2+)通透的AMPA受体通道进入细胞;在成年大鼠体内,通过表达Ca(2+)不通透的GluR2(R)通道降低AMPA受体的Ca(2+)通透性,或使用基于pSFV的关闭缺陷型载体激活海马体中的CRE转录,可使易损的CA1锥体神经元从前脑缺血损伤中获救。相反,通过表达功能性Ca(2+)通透的GluR2(Q)通道诱导Ca(2+)和/或Zn(2+)通过AMPA受体流入,会导致海马颗粒神经元在缺血后发生退化,而这些神经元原本对缺血损伤不敏感。因此,AMPA受体亚基GluR2控制着Ca(2+)和/或Zn(2+)的进入,这会导致短暂性前脑缺血后细胞死亡。
