Important Role of Reverse Na+-Ca2+
Exchange in Spinal Cord White Matter Injury at Physiological
Temperature. J. Neurophysiol. 84: 1116-1119, 2000. Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition in which most of the
clinical disability results from dysfunction of white matter tracts.
Excessive cellular Ca2+ accumulation is a common phenomenon
after anoxia/ischemia or mechanical trauma to white matter, leading to
irreversible injury because of overactivation of multiple
Ca2+-dependent biochemical pathways. In the present study,
we examined the role of Na+-Ca2+ exchange, a
ubiquitous Ca2+ transport mechanism, in anoxic and
traumatic injury to rat spinal dorsal columns in vitro. Excised tissue
was maintained in a recording chamber at 37°C and injured by exposure
to an anoxic atmosphere for 60 min or locally compressed with a force
of 2 g for 15 s. Mean compound action potential amplitude
recovered to 
25% of control after anoxia and to 30% after
trauma. Inhibitors of Na+-Ca2+ exchange (50 µM bepridil or 10 µM KB-R7943) improved functional recovery to
60% after anoxia and 70% after traumatic compression. These
inhibitors also prevented the increase in calpain-mediated spectrin
breakdown products induced by anoxia. We conclude that, at
physiological temperature, reverse Na+-Ca2+
exchange plays an important role in cellular Ca2+ overload
and irreversible damage after anoxic and traumatic injury to dorsal
column white matter tracts.
