Abstract	Volume regulated anion channels (VRAC) have been extensively studied in purified single cell systems like cell cultures where they can be activated by cell swelling. This provides a convenient way of analyzing mechanisms and will likely lead to the holy grails of the field, namely the nature or natures of the volume sensor and the nature or natures of VRACs. Important reasons for such an understanding are that these channels are ubiquitous and have important physiological functions which under pathological conditions convert to deleterious effects. Here we summarize data showing the involvement of VRACs in ischemia-induced release of excitatory amno acids (EAAs) in a rat model of global ischemia. Using microdialysis studies we found that reversal of the astrocytic glutamate transporter and VRACs contribute about equally to the large initial release of EAAs and together account for around 80% of the total release. We used the very potent VRAC blocker, tamoxifen, to see if such inhibition of EAA release via VRACs led to significant neuroprotection. Treatment in the focal rat MCA occlusion model led to around 80% reduction in infarct size with an effective post initiation of ischemia therapeutic window of three hours. However, the common problem of other effects for even the most potent inhibitors pertains here, as tamoxifen has other, potentially neuroprotective, effects. Thus it inhibits nitrotyrosine formation, likely due to its inhibition of nNOS and reduction of peroxynitrite formation. Although tamoxifen cannot therefore be used as a test of the “VRAC-excitotxicity” hypothesis it may prove successful for translation of basic stroke research to the clinic because of its multiple targets.
