In cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (CMVEC) of newborn pigs, glutamate at
excitotoxic concentrations (mM) causes apoptosis mediated by reactive oxygen
species (ROS). Carbon monoxide (CO) produced by CMVEC or delivered by a
CO-releasing molecule, CORM-A1, has antioxidant properties. We tested the
hypothesis that CORM-A1 prevents cerebrovascular endothelial barrier dysfunction
caused by glutamate excitotoxicity. First, we identified the glutamate receptors
(GluRs) and enzymatic sources of ROS involved in the mechanism of endothelial
apoptosis. In glutamate-exposed CMVEC, ROS formation and apoptosis were blocked
by rotenone, 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA), and antimycin, indicating that
mitochondrial complexes I, II, and III are the major sources of oxidative stress.
Agonists of ionotropic GluRs (iGluRs) N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), cis-ACPD,
AMPA, and kainate increased ROS production and apoptosis, whereas iGluR
antagonists exhibited antiapoptotic properties, suggesting that iGluRs mediate
glutamate-induced endothelial apoptosis. The functional consequences of
endothelial injury were tested in the model of blood-brain barrier (BBB) composed
of CMVEC monolayer on semipermeable membranes. Glutamate and iGluR agonists
reduced transendothelial electrical resistance and increased endothelial
paracellular permeability to 3-kDa dextran. CORM-A1 exhibited potent antioxidant
and antiapoptotic properties in CMVEC and completely prevented BBB dysfunction
caused by glutamate and iGluR agonists. Overall, the endothelial component of the
BBB is a cellular target for excitotoxic glutamate that, via a mechanism
involving a iGluR-mediated activation of mitochondrial ROS production and
apoptosis, leads to BBB opening that may be prevented by the antioxidant and
antiapoptotic actions of CORMs. Antioxidant CORMs therapy may help preserve BBB
functional integrity in neonatal cerebrovascular disease.
