Ischemia of Rat Brain Decreases Pertussis Toxin-Catalyzed [32P] ADP Ribosylation of GTP-Binding Proteins (Gi1 and G0) in Membranes Katsunobu Takenaka, Yasunori Kanaho, Koh-ichi Nagata, Noboru Sakai, Hiromu Yamada, Yoshinori Nozawa [ Originally published in Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 1991;11:155–160] On page 158 of the above, arrows were erroneously deleted from the equation in the following passage: Heterotrimers of G proteins that bind GDP to α subunits seem to be the preferred substrates for PTcatalyzed ADP ribosylation since guanine nucleotides (GDP and GTP) and 13'Y subunits stimulate ADP ribosylation in the reconstituted system and in membranes (Tsai et aI., 1984). These results indicate that the G proteins may exist at the equilibrium state as shown below: This omission was the result of a typesetting error, which the publisher regrets.

✓ Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured during the 1st week of subarachnoid hemorrhage in 46 patients who were in a good clinical grade and had a proven ruptured intracranial aneurysm. The mean initial CBF in patients who developed cerebral ischemia was 42 ml/min−1/l00 gm brain−1, which was significantly lower than in patients who did not develop cerebral ischemia (49 ml/min−1/l00 gm brain−1). This reduced CBF was not secondary to raised intracranial pressure or angiographic spasm. Patients with a reduced CBF (less than 50 ml/min−1/100 gm brain−1) and diffuse subarachnoid blood on computerized tomography had a very high incidence (78%) of cerebral ischemia, despite a good clinical grade at the time of measurement. Serial CBF measurements are of value in monitoring the evolution of cerebral vasospasm.

Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 (P-450) epoxygenase pathway to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in the brain parenchymal tissue and perivascular astrocytes. EETs dilate cerebral microvessels and enhance K+ current in cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells. In the current study, the effect of a subdural administration of miconazole, an inhibitor of P-450 epoxygenase, on microvascular perfusion of rat cerebral cortex was evaluated using laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) Baseline cerebral blood flow (CBF) decreased by 29.7 +/- 7.3% (n = 5) after administration of 20 microM miconazole into the subdural space for 30 min. Responses of CBF to sodium nitroprusside and 5-hydroxytryptamine were unaltered by miconazole treatment. Administration of vehicle alone in time-control experiments had no effect on CBF. In other experiments, the effects of miconazole on the metabolism of [14C]AA by cultured rat astrocytes and on nitric oxide synthase activity in homogenates of rat brain were examined. Miconazole inhibited conversion of AA to EETs by cultured astrocytes but had no effect on the conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline by homogenates of rat brain. These results implicate endogenous P-450 epoxides of AA in the regulation of basal blood flow in cerebral microcirculation.
