Substantial neurologic morbidity occurs in survivors of premature birth. Premature infants are exposed to partial oxygen pressures that are fourfold higher compared to intrauterine conditions, even if no supplemental oxygen is administered. Here we report that short exposures to nonphysiologic oxygen levels can trigger apoptotic neurodegeneration in the brains of infant rodents. Vulnerability to oxygen neurotoxicity is confined to the first 2 weeks of life, a period characterized by rapid growth, which in humans expands from the sixth month of pregnancy to the third year of life.Oxygen caused oxidative stress, decreased expression of neurotrophins, and inactivation of survival signaling proteins Ras, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK 1/2), and protein kinase B (Akt). The synRas-transgenic mice overexpressing constitutively activated Ras and phosphorylated kinases ERK1/2 in the brain were protected against oxygen neurotoxicity. Our findings reveal a mechanism that could potentially damage the developing brain of human premature neonates. |
