The author points out that the potentially confounding nature of postmortem events is a valid caveat for interpreting findings made at autopsy. However, recent studies have done much to identify cellular and molecular events occurring early in the course of apoptosis in experimental systems.

Apoptosis and necrosis: two distinct events induced, respectively, by mild and intense insults with N-methyl-D-aspartate or nitric oxide/superoxide in cortical cell cultures. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 92:1995;7162-7166 Suggestion that the nature of death induced in cultured rat cortical neurons by NMDA depends on insult severity, with mild excitotoxic insults inducing apoptosis (defined by descriptive criteria only) and more severe insults inducing necrosis. The general principle of insult severity determining whether a cell dies by apoptosis or necrosis is attractive and consistent with multiple precedents (see Figure 1), although my laboratory has been more impressed with the predilection of even low intensity excitotoxic insults to induce necrosis in a similar rat cortical cell culture system - albeit a necrosis associated with transient DNA laddering (see [22]).

J Cereb Blood Flow Metab. 16:1996;195-201 Although conventional wisdom has it that tissue injury is fully apparent within a day after focal ischemic insults, our search for delayed forms of focal ischemic infarction was productive. Most of the tissue damage after mild transient focal ischemia in this model developed more than three days after the insult. Does such very delayed infarction ever happen in humans? Is there also an extended window of therapeutic opportunity?

Neuroscience. 68:1995;615-619 Death in cultured cortical neurons exposed to oxygen/glucose deprivation occurs in layers, with NMDA-receptor-mediated excitotoxic necrosis the dominant layer. Peel back that, as well as an underlying slowly triggered AMPA/kainate receptor-mediated excitotoxic necrosis, and neuronal death then occurs mainly by apoptosis. We are currently exploring our theory that this in vitro model of blocked oxygen/glucose deprivation captures key elements of ischemic apoptosis in vivo.
