The effects of spreading depression-like DC depolarizations on biochemical changes and gene expression were examined following trau-matic neocortical lesions, as induced by transcranial cold injury. The surrounding of traumatic cold lesions was characterized by increased glu-cose and lactate contents, without major disturbances of protein synthesis or energy state. A transient pH decrease by 0.4 units was noticed 1 h post-injury, which shifted towards alkaline values by 3 h. These changes were similar in animals with spontaneous spreading depression-like DC shifts (n = 14) and those without spreading depressions (n = 7), but there was a marked difference in the gene response. In injured animals without SD, only a short-lasting response of c-fos, junB, c-jun and MKP-1 mRNAs as well as c-Fos protein was bilaterally found in the piri-form cortex, and - with ipsilateral dominance - the dentate gyrus and hippocampal CA3/4 fields at 1 h after lesioning. In injure d animals with spreading depressions, on the contrary, a strong elevation was seen in layers II-IV and VI of the injury-remote ipsilateral cerebral cortex, which persisted over as long as 6 h. The expression of c-fos, junB and MKP-1 mRNAs was closely related to the time interval between the last spreading depression and the end of the experiments. Levels were highest shortly after transient DC shifts, and decreased thereafter mono-exponentially with half-lives of 48, 75 and 58 min for c-fos, junB and MKP-1 mRNAs, respectively. Thus, spreading depression is a prominent factor influencing the trauma-related gene response, but - in contrast to focal ischemia - it does not aggravate the metabolic dysfunction. |
