Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The potassium chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is the main neuronal chloride extruder in the adult nervous system. Therefore, KCC2 is responsible for an inwardly directed electrochemical gradient of chloride that leads to hyperpolarizing GABA-mediated responses. Under some pathophysiological conditions, GABA has been reported to be depolarizing because of a downregulation of KCC2. This is the first study to our knowledge analyzing the expression of KCC2 after a focal cerebral ischemia. METHODS: Mild and severe ischemia were induced in rats by a transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 30 and 120 minutes, respectively. KCC2 mRNA and protein expression were studied in the ischemic hemisphere after different reperfusion times (2 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 168 days) by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistological staining. RESULTS: We found a substantial decrease of KCC2 mRNA and protein levels in the ischemic hemisphere, with a stronger downregulation of KCC2 after severe vs mild ischemia. Long-term surviving cells expressing KCC2 could be detected in the infarct core. These cells were identified as GABAergic interneurons mainly expressing parvalbumin. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed a substantial neuron-specific downregulation of KCC2 after focal cerebral ischemia.
