Brain edema formation due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a major consequence of cerebral ischemia. Previously, we demonstrated that targeting mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mitoKATP) protects neuronal tissues in vivo and in vitro, however, the effects of mitoKATP openers on cerebral endothelial cells and on BBB functions have never been examined. We investigated the effects of mitoK(ATP) channel opener diazoxide on BBB functions during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Rats were treated with 6, 20 or 40 mg/kg diazoxide ip for 3 days then exposed to global cerebral ischemia for 30 min. BBB permeability was assessed by administering Evan's-blue (EB) and Na-fluorescein (NaF) at the beginning of the 30 min reperfusion. I/R increased BBB permeability for the large molecular weight EB (ng/mg) in the cortex (control: 146 12, n = 7; I/R: 1049 152, n = 11) which was significantly attenuated in diazoxide-treated rats (575 99, n = 9; 582 104, n = 8; 20 and 40 mg/kg doses). Diazoxide pretreatment also significantly inhibited the extravasation of the low molecular weight NaF. Edema formation in the cortex was also decreased after diazoxide pretreatment. In cultured cerebral endothelial cells, diazoxide depolarized the mitochondrial membrane, suggesting a direct diazoxide effect on the endothelial mitochondria. Our results demonstrate that preconditioning of cerebral endothelium with diazoxide protects the BBB against ischemic stress. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
