1. Treatment of rat brain microsomal membranes with a neuraminidase preparation from Clostridium perfringens resulted in an almost complete conversion of polysialogangliosides into monosialogangliosides. 2. Neuraminidase treatment of the membranes did not increase the incorporation of N-[3H]acetylneuraminic acid from CMP-N-[3H]acetylneuraminic acid into the gangliosidic fraction, indicating that a monosialoganglioside is an acceptor of N-acetylneuraminic acid in these membranes only if, in addition to having the right chemical structure, it is in a proper position, probably in relation to the endogenous sialyltransferases. 3. These experiments also indicated that no independent turnover of the neuraminidase-labile N-acetylneuraminyl groups of gangliosides occurred in vitro. 4. N-[3H]Acetylneuraminic acid from endogenous polysialogangliosides labelled in vitro was released by neuraminidase at a slower rate than N-acetylneuraminic acid from unlabelled gangliosides of the same membranes. From this it was concluded that recently synthesized polysialogangliosides (completed in vitro) are in the membranes in a position less accessible to neuraminidase than are those synthesized earlier which were present in the membranes at the start of the labelling experiment.

Fluorocitrate, a selective astrocytic toxin, was microinjected into the right striatum of rat brain, and the regional distribution of 14C-acetate was measured using autoradiography. A significant reduction (more than 80%) in 14C-acetate uptake over a 5-minute period was observed in the right striatum, compared with that in the left striatum (saline infused), 4 hours after fluorocitrate (1 nmol/μL) infusion. This effect was transient, and 14C-acetate uptake had almost returned to normal at 24 hours after the fluorocitrate infusion. In contrast, the regional blood flow in the striatum, as determined using 14C-iodoamphetamine, was significantly increased by the fluorocitrate infusion. The present observations indicate that 14C-acetate uptake might be a useful characteristic for examining astrocytic energy metabolism in the intact brain.

Postnatal rats at 7 and 21 days of age were subjected to unilateral hypoxia—ischemia (H/I) by right carotid artery ligation followed by 1.5 to 2 hours of hypoxia (8% oxygen). Brains were frozen at specific intervals of recovery from 0 to 24 hours. Western blots of samples of right and left forebrain were immunodeveloped with a monoclonal antibody specific for ubiquitin, RHUb 1. An elevation of ubiquitin conjugate levels in the right compared with the left forebrain of 7-day-old animals was detectable immediately following H/I and increased by close to 60% of control level within 1 hour of recovery. The conjugate immunoreactivity remained at this level for 6 hours but had declined to control levels by 24 hours of recovery. No such increase was observed in response to hypoxia alone. Similar changes were observed in samples from the 21-day-old rat brain. However, the elevation of ubiquitin conjugate levels was of slower onset and persisted longer than observed for the 7-day-old animals. Immunocytochemical studies of brain fixed by immersion in formaldehyde/acetone/methanol showed that ubiquitin-like immunoreactivity was increased in the right, but not left, cerebral cortex and hippocampus of animals subjected to H/I. The data suggest that elevated ubiquitination may represent a neuroprotective response to H/I.
