It is increasingly recognized that histological and functional outcomes after stroke are shaped by biologic sex. Emerging data suggests that ischemic cell death pathways are sexually dimorphic. Reducing neuronal nitric oxide (NO) or poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP-1) activation protects only the male brain, and paradoxically enhances ischemic injury in females. In this study, we examined downstream mediators of NO/PARP activation to investigate possible mediators of ischemic sexual dimorphism. Nuclear translocation of Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF) was equivalent in wild-type males and females after stroke and was unaffected by estrogen exposure. Deletion of PARP1 led to a dramatic reduction in stroke-induced poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PAR) formation and AIF translocation in both sexes, yet ischemic damage was reduced only in males. Subsequent examination of AIF-deficient Harlequin mice demonstrated that male Harlequin mice had less PAR formation, reduced AIF translocation and less ischemic damage than male wild-type mice. In contrast, female Harlequin mice had no neuroprotective effect of gene deletion despite robust reductions in PAR formation and AIF translocation. Although equivalent activation of this cell death pathway occurs in both sexes after ischemia, detrimental effects are only present in males. AIF translocation and PAR formation do not mediate ischemic injury in the female brain, therefore agents designed to reduce PARP1 activation are unlikely to benefit females.
