Induction of chemical anoxia, using sodium azide in cerebellar granule cells maintained in primary culture, was evaluated as an in vitro assay for screening of potential neuroprotective compounds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sodium azide as an alternative to cyanide salts, compounds which, despite their unfavorable characteristics, are often used in assays for chemical anoxia. The viability of neuronal cultures after treatment with azide, with or without preincubation with calcium channel blockers, tetrodotoxin (TTX), or glutamate receptor antagonists, was monitored by subsequent incubation with the tetrazolium dye MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide), followed by isopropanol extraction and spectrophotometric quantification of cellularly reduced MTT. The azide-induced degeneration of neurons was shown to be dependent on the concentration as well as on the duration of incubation with submaximal concentrations of azide. Incubation of the neurons with nifedipine, a blocker of L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (L-VSCC), or with the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype glutamate receptor antagonist MK-801, prior to addition of submaximal concentrations of azide, significantly attenuated azide-induced neuronal death. Blockers of N-type and Q-type VSCC (omega-conotoxin MVIIA and MVIIC, respectively) and the P-type VSCC blocker omega-agatoxin IVA had no effect in this assay. The sodium channel blocker TTX was without effect when added to neurons under depolarizing conditions, but potently and effectively protected cells when experiments were performed in a nondepolarizing buffer. The results show that chemical anoxia induced by incubation of cultured neurons with azide leads to detrimental effects, which may be quantitatively monitored by the capability of the cells to reduce MTT. This procedure is a suitable method for screening of compounds for possible protective effects against neuronal death induced by energy depletion. In addition, the results suggest involvement of L-type VSCC as well as of glutamate receptors in the pathways leading to neuronal degradation induced by energy depletion in cerebellar granule neurons. This would further support the notion that these pathways might be important in neurodegeneration induced by cerebral ischemia or anoxia.
