    Previously, we and others reported a rapid and dramatic increase in brain prostanoids (PG), including prostaglandins, prostacyclins, and thromboxanes, under ischemia that is traditionally explained through the activation of esterified arachidonic acid (20:4n6) release by phospholipases as a substrate for cyclooxygenases (COX). However, the availability of another required COX substrate, oxygen, has not been considered in this mechanism. To address this mechanism for PG upregulation through oxygen availability, we analyzed mouse brain PG, free 20:4n6, and oxygen levels at different time points after ischemic onset using head-focused microwave irradiation (MW) to inactivate enzymes in situ before craniotomy. The oxygen half-life in the ischemic brain was 5.32 ± 0.45 s and dropped to undetectable levels within 12 s of ischemia onset, while there were no significant free 20:4n6 or PG changes at 30 s of ischemia. Furthermore, there was no significant PG increase at 2 and 10 min after ischemia onset compared to basal levels, while free 20:4n6 was increased ∼50 and ∼100 fold, respectively. However, PG increased ∼30-fold when ischemia was followed by craniotomy of nonMW tissue that provided oxygen for active enzymes. Moreover, craniotomy performed under anoxic conditions without MW did not result in PG induction, while exposure of these brains to atmospheric oxygen significantly induced PG. Our results indicate, for the first time, that oxygen availability is another important regulatory factor for PG production under ischemia. Further studies are required to investigate the physiological role of COX/PG regulation through tissue oxygen concentration.
