Cytochrome c release and caspase activation after traumatic brain injury

Sullivan, Patrick G, Keller, Jeffrey N, Bussen, Wendy L, Scheff, Stephen W·2002·Brain Research

Abstract

Experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in a rapid and significant necrosis of cortical tissue at the site of injury. In the ensuing hours and days, secondary injury exacerbates the primary damage resulting in significant neurological dysfunction. The identification of cell death pathways that mediate this secondary traumatic injury have not been elucidated, however recent studies have implicated a role for apoptosis in the neuropathology of traumatic brain injury. The present study utilized a controlled cortical impact model of brain injury to assess the involvement of apoptotic pathways: release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and the activation of caspase-1- and caspase-3-like proteases in the injured cortex at 6, 12 and 24 h post-injury. Collectively, these results demonstrate cytochrome c release from mitochondria and its redistribution into the cytosol occurs in a time-dependent manner following TBI. The release of cytochrome c is accompanied by a time-dependent increase in caspase-3-like protease activity with no apparent increase in caspase-1-like activity. However, pretreatment with a general caspase inhibitor had no significant effect on the amount of cortical damage observed at 7 days post-injury. Our data suggest that several pro-apoptotic events occur following TBI, however the translocation of cytochrome c itself and/or other events upstream of caspase activation/inhibition may be sufficient to induce neuronal cell death.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
