The present study was aimed to elucidate the possible role of Na+-K+-2Cl(-)-cotransporter (NKCC1) on traumatic brain injury-induced brain edema, cerebral contusion and neuronal death by using traumatic brain injury animal model. Contusion volume was verified by 2,3,5,triphenyltetrazolium chloride momohydrate staining. NKCC1 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR and the protein expression of NKCC1 was measured by Western blot. We found that the expression of NKCC1 RNA and protein were up-regulated in choroid plexus apical membrane from 2 h after traumatic brain injury, peaked at 8 h, and lasted for 24 h. Rats in the experimental group displayed severe brain edema (water content: 81.45 +/- 0.32% compared with 78.38 +/- 0.62% of sham group) and contusion volume significantly increased 8 h after traumatic brain injury (864.14 +/- 28.07 mm(3)). Administration of the NKCC1 inhibitor bumetanide (15 mg/kg, I.V.) significantly attenuated the contusion volume (464.03 +/- 23.62 mm(3)) and brain edema (water content: 79.12 +/- 0.28%) after traumatic brain injury. Our study demonstrates that NKCC1 contributes to traumatic brain injury-induced brain edema and neuronal damage. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
