Primary cortical and hippocampal neuronal cultures submitted to brief histotoxic hypoxia suffer delayed neuronal death after 24 h [Uto et al. (1995) J Neurochem 64: 2185-2192]. In this study the ultrastructural changes were monitored during the first 6 h following 5-min histotoxic hypoxia induced by exposure to 100 microM iodoacetate. In both cortical and hippocampal CA1 neurons, disaggregation of ribosomes was the earliest sign of histotoxic pathology. Vacuolizations of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, as well as fragmentation and disintegration of neurofilaments followed later. Signs of apoptotic nuclear degeneration were absent. Our observations demonstrate that, similar to that seen in ischemia, disaggregation of ribosomes after brief histotoxic hypoxia is one of the first pathological alterations heralding delayed neuronal death.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007461 Iodoacetates Iodinated derivatives of acetic acid. Iodoacetates are commonly used as alkylating sulfhydryl reagents and enzyme inhibitors in biochemical research. Iodoacetic Acids,Acids, Iodoacetic
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
