Central white matter (WM) tracts in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), such as subcortical pathways and spinal cord tracts that are critical to the functional integrity of the CNS, suffer irreversible injury after anoxia/ischemia. Anoxia-induced cell death appears to be caused by sustained increases in intracellular CaZf. In gray matter, Ca2+ influx into the cytoplasm during anoxia is thought to occur via NMDAreceptor-gated The mechanisms of anoxic injury in CNS WM are less well understood; specifically, the critical step by which extracellular Ca2+ enters the cytoplasmic compartment is not known. We have studied this question using the in vitro rat optic nerve, a representative CNS WM tract. Our results indicate that a large part of the damaging CaZ+ influx that occurs during anoxia in WM is mediated by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, forced to operate in the reverse mode due to Na+ influx via voltage-gated Naf channels.
