The neonatal striatum degenerates after hypoxia-ischemia (H-I). We tested the hypothesis that damage to astrocytes and loss of glutamate transporters accompany striatal neurodegeneration after H-I. Newborn piglets were subjected to 30 minutes of hypoxia (arterial O-2 , saturation, 30%) and then 7 minutes of airway occlusion (O-2 , saturation, 5%), producing cardiac arrest, followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Piglets recovered for 24, 48, or 96 hours. At 24 hours, 66% of putaminal neurons were injured, without differing significantly thereafter, but neuronal densities were reduced progressively (21-44%). By DNA nick-end labeling, the number of dying putaminal cells per square millimeter was increased maximally at 24 to 48 hours. Glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive cell body densities were reduced 48 to 55% at 24 to 48 hours but then recovered by 96 hours. Early postischemia, subsets of astrocytes had fragmented DNA; later postischemia, subsets of astrocytes proliferated. By immunocytochemistry, glutamate transporter I (GLT1) was lost after ischemia in the astroglial compartment but gained in cells appearing as neurons, whereas neuronal excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1) dissipated. By immunoblotting, GLT1 and EAAC1 levels were 85% and 45% of control, respectively, at 24 hours of recovery. Thus, astroglial and neuronal injury occurs rapidly in H-I newborn striatum, with early glio-degeneration and glutamate transporter abnormalities possibly contributing to neurodegeneration.
