- We previously demonstrated that IGF-1 blocks glutamate-mediated death of late oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) by preventing Bax translocation, mitochondrial cytochrome c release and cleavage of caspases 9 and 3. Here, we demonstrate that IGF-1 prevents caspase 3 activation in late OPs when administered up to 16 h following exposure to glutamate. Moreover, late addition of IGF-1 to OPs previously exposed to toxic levels of glutamate promotes oligodendrocyte maturation as measured by myelin basic protein expression. We also demonstrate that intraventricularly administered IGF-1 retains OPs in the perinatal white matter after hypoxia-ischemia when given after insult. These results suggest that delayed administration of IGF-1 will rescue OPs in the immature white matter and promote myelination following hypoxia-ischemia.
