After an ischemic episode induced by the electrocoagulation of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) in mouse, neurons within the damaged territory die either by an apoptotic or by a necrotic process. Most of the cortical neurons within the ischemic area display both morphological and biochemical signs of programmed cell death: nuclear condensation, DNA degradation, formation of apoptotic bodies, and glutathione depletion. In fact, apoptosis essentially contributes to the expansion of the ischemic lesion and the maximum of damaged territory is reached 24 h postocclusion. Several potentially neuroprotective pathways have been evidenced in different experimental models of ischemia including the activation of antioxidant enzyme activities and/or the recruitment of neurotrophic as well as antiapoptotic factors. In our model of permanent focal ischemia induced by MCA occlusion, we measured the temporal synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) and examined the status of antioxidant enzymes as well as Bcl-2 antiapoptotic product. We detected in both cortices a transient increase of NGF which peaks at 6 h. Moreover, we reported that glutathione peroxidase is recruited with a time course which parallels NGF synthesis. Finally, we observed the induction of Bcl-2 in safe neurons; this may represent a self-protective response against ischemia-induced apoptosis. We provide evidence that in a model of permanent focal ischemia, several neuroprotective pathways could be coactivated.
