Adaptations of vertebrate neurons to hypoxia and anoxia: maintaining critical Ca2+ concentrations

Down-regulation of ion channel activity ('channel arrest'), which aids in preserving critical ion gradients in concert with greatly diminished energy production, is one important strategy by which anoxia-tolerant neurons adapt to O2 shortage. Channel arrest results in the elimination of action potentials and neurotransmission and also decreases the need for ion transport, which normally requires a large energy expenditure. Important targets of this down-regulation may be channels in which activity would otherwise result in the toxic increases in intracellular [Ca2+] characteristic of anoxia-sensitive mammalian neurons. In turtles, Na+ channels and the Ca2+-permeable ion channel of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor undergo down-regulation during anoxia. Inactivation of NMDA receptors during hypoxia occurs by a variety of mechanisms, including alterations in the phosphorylation state of ion channel subunits, Ca2+-dependent second messenger activation, changes in Ca2+-dependent polymerization/depolymerization of actin to postsynaptic receptors and activation of other G-protein-coupled receptors. Release of inhibitory neurotransmitters (e.g. gamma-aminobutyrate) and neuromodulators (e.g. adenosine) into the brain extracellular fluids may play an important role in the down-regulation of these and other types of ion channels.
