Glucose is the brain's major energy source; therefore, loss of neuronal cells is a potential consequence of hypoglycaemia. Since apoptosis is a major mechanism of neuronal loss following a range of insults, we explored potent anti-apoptotic systems (IGF-I and bcl-2) as means of enhancing neuronal survival in the face of glucose deprivation. Human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y, SHEP and SHEP-bcl-2) were exposed to low glucose as a model of glucopenia-induced neuronal damage. Administration of IGF-I and/or over-expression of the survival gene bcl-2 were exploited to attempt to limit neuronal loss. Neuronal survival mechanisms and interactions between these systems were investigated. Low glucose (0.25-2.5 mM) adversely affected cell growth and survival; however, IGF-I ameliorated these outcomes. Over-expression of bcl-2 blunted low glucose-induced apoptosis and up-regulated IGF-I receptor, with the effect of IGF-I addition being negligible on apoptosis, while significantly enhancing mitochondrial activity. In SH-SY5Y cells, IGF-I significantly changed >two-fold mRNA levels of the apoptosis-related genes gadd45, fas, iNOS, NFkB, TRAIL, without further affecting bcl-2 expression. In low glucose, IGF-I acutely enhanced glucose transport and translocation of GLUT1 protein to the cell membrane. GLUT1 mRNA expression was up-regulated by both IGF-I and bcl-2. The potent anti-apoptotic systems IGF-I and bcl-2 are both thus able to enhance cell survival in a glucose-deprived human neuronal model. Although we clearly show evidence of positive cross-talk via bcl-2 modulation of IGF-I receptor, IGF-I also has enhancing effects on mitochondrial function outside the bcl-2 pathway. The common effect of both systems on enhancement of GLUT-1 expression suggests that this is a key mechanism for enhanced survival. These studies also point to the potential use of IGF-I therapy in prevention or amelioration of hypoglycaemic brain injury.
