abstract = {Spreading depolarization (SD) has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after
subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a powerful
trigger of SD and may be involved in DCI. The SD-causing
mechanism is assumed to result from ET-1-induced
microarterial spasm and ischemia. However, ET-1 is also a
potent, astrocyte-specific gap junction (GJ) inhibitor.
There are two competing hypotheses on the role of astrocytic
GJs in SD. One postulates that they mediate SDs, since
long-chain alcohols such as octanol inhibit GJs and inhibit
SD at high concentrations. The other postulates that
astrocytic GJs protect against SD and that their inhibition
increases susceptibility to SD and SD velocity. Here, we
found in rats that brain topical application of
carbenoxolone, a more specific GJ inhibitor, failed to
inhibit ET-1-induced SDs in vivo, whereas octanol, a less
specific GJ inhibitor, partially blocked them at high
concentrations. These results suggest that GJs are not
required for initiation or propagation of ET-1-induced SDs,
and that octanol inhibits SDs by effects unrelated to GJs.
The results do not exclude that the specific inhibition of
astrocytic GJs by ET-1 contributes to the generation of SDs,
which should be further investigated in future studies.},
