Abstract: In the brain, prior sublethal ischemia (preconditioning, PC) is known to produce tolerance of neurons to subsequent lethal ischemia. This study aims at elucidating what alterations were induced in neurons and/or astrocytes by PC treatment. The rise in the extracellular concentration of glutamate during ischemia was markedly suppressed by the prior PC treatment. Immunocytochemical and Western blot analyses demonstrated that the expression of the astrocytic glutamate transporter GLT-1 was transiently down-regulated after the PC insult. The PC insult possibly suppressed the neuron-derived factors up-regulating GLT-1. Here we show that PC-induced down-regulation of GLT-1 is crucial for the increased neuronal resistance to subsequent severe ischemic insult.
