Acute elevation in intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) can trigger cellular mechanisms leading to neuronal dysfunction and death. The mechanisms underlying these processes are not completely understood, but calcium influx through N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) appears to play a central role. The present study examined the time course of [Ca2+]iflux, glutamate release, and loss of cell viability following injury using anin vitroneuronal–glial cortical cell-culture model of TBI. The effects of N-channel blockade with SNX-185 (e.g. ω-conotoxin TVIA) before or after injury were also examined. Neuronal injury produced a transient elevation in [Ca2+]i, increased glutamate release, and resulted in neuronal and glial death. SNX-185 administered before or immediately after cell injury reduced glutamate release and increased the survival of neurons and astrocytes, whereas delayed treatment did not improve cell survival but significantly facilitated the return of [Ca2+]ito baseline levels. The new findings that N-type VGCCs are critically involved in injury-induced glutamate release and recovery of [Ca2+]iargue for continued investigation of this treatment strategy for the clinical management of TBI. In particular, SNX-185 may represent an effective class of drugs that can significantly protect injured neurons from the secondary insults that commonly occur after TBI.
