B Contributes to Excitotoxin-Induced Apoptosis
in Rat Striatum
Experimental Therapeutics Branch, National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health,
Bethesda, Maryland 20892
Excitotoxin-induced destruction of striatal neurons, proposed as a
model of Huntington's disease, involves a process having the
biochemical stigmata of apoptosis. Recent studies suggested that
transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-
B may be involved in
excitotoxicity. To further analyze the contribution of NF
B to
excitotoxic neuronal death in vivo, changes in binding
activities of NF
B and other transcription factors as well as the
consequences of inhibiting NF
B nuclear translocation were measured
after the infusion of quinolinic acid (120 nmol) into rat striatum.
Internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and terminal transferase-mediated
dUTP digoxigenin nick end labeling-positive nuclei appeared 12 hr later
and intensified over the next 12 hr. NF
B binding activity increased
severalfold from 2 to 12 hr, then gradually declined during the next 12 hr. Other transcription factor changes included AP-1, whose binding peaked about 6 hr after quinolinic acid administration, and E2F-1, which was only modestly and transiently elevated. In contrast, quinolinic acid lead to a reduction in OCT-1, beginning after 12 hr,
and briefly in SP-1 binding. The NF
B, AP-1, and OCT-1 changes were
attenuated both by the N-methyl-D-aspartate
receptor antagonist MK-801 and the protein synthesis inhibitor
cycloheximide. Moreover, quinolinic acid-induced internucleosomal DNA
fragmentation and striatal cell death were significantly reduced by the
intrastriatal administration of NF
B SN50, a cell-permeable
recombinant peptide that blocks NF
B nuclear translocation. These
results illustrate the complex temporal pattern of transcription factor
change attending the apoptotic destruction produced in rat striatum by
quinolinic acid. They further suggest that NF
B activation
contributes to the excitotoxin-induced death of striatal neurons.
