During CNS ischaemia, accumulating evidence suggests that raised intracellular Zn2+ levels may play a significant role in inducing neuronal cell death. Several mechanisms mediating Zn2+ induced cell death have been suggested, however the precise molecular mechanisms remain uncertain. Employing the HT-22 murine hippocampal neuronal cell line, we have evaluated possible mechanisms of cytotoxic extracellular Zn2+ insults. Increased extracellular Zn2+ levels was found to induce concentration-dependent cytotoxicity. When tested at 200 mu M, Zn2+ increased intracellular Zn2+ levels (determined via FluoZin-3 fluorescence) and rapidly induced cell death. However, neither L-type (nimodipine) nor T-type (mibefradil) voltage-activated Ca2+ channel inhibitors limited Zn2+ induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, and in contrast with staurosporine, Zn2+ cytotoxic insults failed to induce significant caspase-3 activation and were insensitive to the poly-caspase inhibitor, zVAD-fmk. Antioxidant coapplication (Trolox and N,N'-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPPD)) was neuroprotective versus 6 It Zn2+ insults. Additionally, despite inducing significant mitochondrial membrane potential loss, Zn2+ failed to induce detectable increased superoxide production. However, both pyruvate and oxaloacetate were found to afford significant neuroprotection versus Zn2+ cytotoxic insults, without significantly influencing intracellular Zn2+ accumulation. We conclude that cultured HT-22 neurones are vulnerable to Zn2+ cytotoxic insults via a non-caspase-3 mediated mechanism, which involves glycolytic inhibition. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
