Zinc: new clues to diverse roles in brain ischemia

Abstract: Cerebral ischemia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, reflecting the extraordinary sensitivity of the brain to a brief loss of blood flow. A significant goal has been to identify neuronal injury pathways that are selectively activated following stroke and may be amenable to drug therapy. An important advance was made close to a quarter century ago, when Ca2+ overload was implicated as a critical link between glutamate excitotoxicity and ischemic neurodegeneration. However, early hope for effective t… Show more

“…These results confirm Zn 2 + release from an intracellular source. Previous studies suggested that oxidants trigger Zn 2 + release from metallothioneins, proteins that have a strong buffering capacity for cytosolic Zn 2 + [20,21,31]. However, the finding that PJ34 and 2-APB are able to prevent H 2 O 2 -induced Zn 2 + response ( Figures 1D and 1E) suggests that Zn 2 + release occurs by a specific mechanism, requiring TRPM2 channel activation.…”

“…This effect was suppressed by PJ34 and 2-APB (Figures 1D and 1E; Supplementary Figures S3C and S3D), suggesting that TRPM2 activation contributes to the rise in cytosolic Zn 2 + . To test whether this rise in Zn 2 + contributes to cell death, we used TPEN (1 μM) [20,21] and clioquinol (10 μM) [29] at concentrations at which they chelate Zn 2 + , but can hardly bind Ca 2 + . Both reagents effectively prevented cell death ( Figures 1F and 1G).…”
