Background and Purpose We tested the hypothesis that cerebral
hypoxia-ischemia selectively stimulates
interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-) gene
expression in brain regions susceptible to irreversible injury in
perinatal rats.
Methods To elicit focal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury,
7-day-old perinatal (P7) rats were subjected to right carotid artery
ligation followed by 3 hours of 8% O2 exposure and were
killed 0 to 48 hours after hypoxia. Regional tissue IL-1ß and
TNF- mRNA content were measured by reverse transcription followed by
polymerase chain reaction amplification (RT-PCR) in samples prepared
from cortex and hippocampus of the lesioned and contralateral
hemispheres. cDNAs were amplified with primers specific for IL-1ß,
TNF-, and the housekeeping gene glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which served as an internal control. The RT-PCR
products were subjected to Southern blot analysis and hybridized
with 32P-labeled gene-specific probes. Radioactivity was
measured in excised bands, and results were normalized on the basis of
levels of GAPDH expression.
Results In unlesioned P7 brain, IL-1ß mRNA was barely
detectable. In lesioned forebrain, there was a marked, transient
stimulation of IL-1ß mRNA expression, peaking at 4 hours after
hypoxia. Hybridization signal was increased 16- to 30-fold over
values from contralateral hemisphere samples in three independent
assays (P<.05 comparing values in left and right cortex and
in left and right hippocampus with the Kruskal-Wallis ranking test); by
24 hours after hypoxia, levels returned to normal. Similar
transient increases in TNF- mRNA expression were detected. In a
closely related model of perinatal brain injury elicited by focal
intracerebral
N-methyl-D-aspartate injection, there was a
corresponding acute stimulation of IL-1ß and TNF- mRNA expression
at 4 hours after injection.
Conclusions These results suggest that IL-1ß and TNF- may
play important roles in the response of the developing brain to acute
hypoxic-ischemic injury.
