Abstract
Abnormal activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is associated with pathophysiological conditions. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can provide neuroprotective effects against subsequent lethal ischemic insult. The objective of this study was to determine how Cdk5 and related molecules could affect neuroprotection in the hippocampus of gerbils after with IPC [a 2-min transient cerebral ischemia (TCI)] followed by 5-min subsequent TCI. Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons were dead at 5 days post-TCI. However, treatment with roscovitine (a potent inhibitor of Cdk5) and IPC protected CA1 pyramidal neurons from TCI. Expression levels of Cdk5, p25, phospho (p)-Rb and p-p53 were increased in nuclei of CA1 pyramidal neurons at 1 and 2 days after TCI. However, these expressions were attenuated by roscovitine treatment and IPC. In particular, Cdk5, p-Rb and p-p53 immunoreactivities in their nuclei were decreased. Furthermore, TUNEL-positive CA1 pyramidal neurons were found at 5 days after TCI with increased expression levels of Bax, PUMA, and activated caspase-3. These TUNEL-positive cells and increased molecules were decreased by roscovitine treatment and IPC. Thus, roscovitine treatment and IPC could protect CA1 pyramidal neurons from TCI through down-regulating Cdk5, p25, and p-p53 in their nuclei. These findings indicate that down-regulating Cdk5 might be a key strategy to attenuate p53-dependent apoptosis of CA1 pyramidal neurons following TCI.
