Hyperthermia can exacerbate the brain damage produced by ischemia. In the present study, we investigated the effects of hyperthermia before and during ischemia-reperfusion on neuronal damage and glial changes in the gerbil hippocampus following transient cerebral ischemia using cresyl violet staining, NeuN immunohisto-chemistry and Fluoro-Jade B histofluorescence staining. The animals were randomly assigned to 4 groups: (I) sham-operated animals with normothermia (normothermia + sham group); (2) ischemia-operated animals with normothermia (normothermia + ischemia group); (3) sham-operated animals with hyperthermia (hyperthermia + sham group); and (4) ischemia-operated animals with hyperthermia (hyperthermia + ischemia group). Hyperthermia (39.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C) was induced by exposing the gerbils to a heating pad connected to a rectal thermistor for 30 min before and during ischemia-reperfusion. In the normothermia + ischemia groups, a significant delayed neuronal death was observed in the stratum pyramidale (SP) of the hippocampal CM region (CM) 5 days after ischemia-reperfusion. In the hyperthermia + ischemia groups, neuronal death in the SP of the CM occurred at I day post-ischemia, and neuronal death was observed in the SP of the CA2/3 region at 2 days post-ischemia. In addition, we examined activations of astrocytes and microglia using immunohistochemistry for antiglial fibrillaiy acidic protein (GFAP) and anti-ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (lba-1). GFAP-positive astrocytes and lba-1-positive microglia in the ischemic hippocampus were activated much earlier and much more accelerated in the hyperthermia + ischemia groups than those in the normothermia + ischemia groups. Based on our findings, we suggest that an experimentally hyperthermic pre-condition before cerebral ischemic insult produces more extensive neuronal damage and glial activation in the ischemic hippocampus.
