Lipocalin-type prostaglandin (PG) D synthase (L-PGDS) is up-regulated in oligodendrocytes (OLs) in mouse models for genetic neurological disorders including globoid cell leukodystrophy (twitcher) and GM1and GM2gangliosidoses and in the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis. Since L-PGDS-deficient twitcher mice undergo extensive neuronal death, we concluded that L-PGDS functions protectively against neuronal degeneration. In this study, we investigated whether L-PGDS is also up-regulated in acute and massive brain injury resulting from neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Analysis of brains from human neonates who had died from HIE disclosed that the surviving neurons in the infarcted lesions expressed L-PGDS. Mouse models for neonatal HIE were made on postnatal day (PND) 7. Global infarction in the ipsilateral hemisphere was evident at 24h after reoxygenation in this model. Intense L-PGDS immunoreactivity was already observed at 10min after reoxygenation in apparently normal neurons in the cortex, and thereafter, in neurons adjacent to the infarcted area. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that the L-PGDS mRNA level of the infarcted hemisphere was 33-fold higher than that of the sham-operated mouse brains at 1h after reoxygenation and that it decreased to the normal level by 24h thereafter. Furthermore, in both human and mouse brains, many of L-PGDS-positive cells were also immunoreactive for p53; and some of these expressed cleaved caspase-3. The expression of L-PGDS in degenerating neurons implies that L-PGDS functions as an early stress protein to protect against neuronal death in the HIE brain.
