Elemental composition and water content of rat optic nerve myelinated axons and glial cells: effects of in vitro anoxia and reoxygenation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron probe x-ray microanalysis was used to measure water content and concentrations (mmol/kg dry weight) of elements (Na, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, and Mg) in myelinated axons and glial cells of rat optic nerve exposed to in vitro anoxia and reoxygenation. In response to anoxia, large, medium, and small diameter fibers exhibited an early (5 min) and progressive loss of Na and K regulation which culminated (60 min) in severe depletion of respective transmembrane gradients. As axoplasmic Na levels increased during anoxic exposure, a parallel rise in Ca content was noted. For all axons, mean water content decreased progressively during the initial 10 min of anoxia and then returned toward normal values as anoxia continued. Analyses of mitochondrial areas revealed a similar pattern of elemental disruption except that Ca concentrations rose more rapidly during anoxia. Following 60 min of postanoxia reoxygenation, the majority of larger fibers displayed little evidence of recovery, whereas a subpopulation of small axons exhibited a trend toward restoration of normal elemental composition. Glial cells and myelin were only modestly affected by anoxia and subsequent reoxygenation. Thus, anoxic injury of CNS axons is associated with characteristic changes in axoplasmic distributions of Na, K, and Ca. The magnitude and temporal patterns of elemental Na and Ca disruption are consistent with reversal of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange and subsequent Ca entry (Stys et al., 1992). During reoxygenation, elemental deregulation continues for most CNS fibers, although a subpopulation of small axons appears to be capable of recovery.

In the optic nerve of Anurans numerous myelinated and unmyelinated axons appear under the electron microscope as compact bundles that are closely bounded by one or several glial cells. In these bundles the unmyelinated fibers (0.15 to 0.6 micro in diameter) are many times more numerous than the myelinated fibers, and are separated from each other, from the bounding glial cells, or from adjacent...

Optic nerve degeneration can result from various causes including increased intraocular pressure, comp...
متن کاملE587 antigen is upregulated by goldfish oligodendrocytes after optic nerve lesion and supports retinal axon regeneration.
The properties of glial cells in lesioned nerves contribute quite substantially to success or failure of axon regeneration in the CNS. Goldfish retinal axons regenerate after optic nerve lesion (ONS) and express the L1-like cell adhesion protein E587 antigen on their surfaces. Goldfish oligodendrocytes in vitro also produce E587 antigen and promote growth of both fish and rat retinal axons. To ...

Two variants of ankyrin have been distinguished in rat brain tissue using antibodies: a broadly distributed isoform (ankyrinB) that represents the major form of ankyrin in brain and another isoform with a restricted distribution (ankyrinR) that shares epitopes with erythrocyte ankyrin. The ankyrinR isoform was localized by immunofluorescence in cryosections of rat spinal cord gray matter and my...
