We reported that a high level of autophagy was initiated by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and was maintained in neurons even after oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by reoxygenation (OGD/R), accompanied by neuronal apoptosis. This study focused on autophagy-induced apoptosis and its signaling network, especially the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Analysis of primary cultured cortical neurons from mice showed that the autophagy-induced apoptosis depended on Caspase-8 and -9 but not Caspase-12. This finding did not mean that the endoplasmic reticulum did not participate in this process. Increases in the levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) biomarkers and Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) were induced by autophagy in OGD/R-treated neurons. In addition, as an apoptotic transcription factor induced by ER stress, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression was significantly increased in neurons after OGD/R. This result suggested that the autophagy-Bip-CHOP-caspase (8 and 9)-dependent apoptotic signaling pathway at least partly participated in autophagy-induced apoptosis in primary cortical neurons. It revealed that ER induced apoptosis in neurons suffering from OGD/R injury in an ER stress-CHOP-dependent manner rather than a caspase-12-dependent manner. However, more research on signaling or cross-linking networks and intermediate links are needed. The realization of caspase-12-independent BiP-CHOP neuronal apoptosis pathway has expanded our understanding of the neuronal apoptosis network, which may eventually provide endogenous interventional strategies for OGD/R injury after stroke.

Abstract Background Microglia can not only detrimentally augment secondary injury but also potentially promote recovery. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of microglial phenotypes after stroke remains unclear. Methods Mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion for 60 min. At 3 days after reperfusion, the effects of activation and suppression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 on immunocyte phenotypes (n = 5), neurobehavioral scores (n = 7), infarct volumes (n = 8), and neuronal apoptosis (n = 7) were analyzed. In vitro, cultured microglia were exposed to oxygen–glucose deprivation for 4 h. Inflammatory cytokines, cellular viability (n = 8), neuronal apoptosis (n = 7), and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 expression (n = 5) were evaluated in the presence or absence of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-specific small interfering RNA or triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 overexpression lentivirus. Results Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 expression in the ischemic penumbra peaked at 3 days after ischemia–reperfusion injury (4.4 ± 0.1-fold, P = 0.0004) and was enhanced in interleukin-4/interleukin-13–treated microglia in vitro (1.7 ± 0.2-fold, P = 0.0119). After oxygen–glucose deprivation, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 conferred neuroprotection by regulating the phenotypic conversion of microglia and inflammatory cytokine release. Intraperitoneal administration of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 agonist heat shock protein 60 or unilateral delivery of a recombinant triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 lentivirus into the cerebral ventricle induced a significant neuroprotective effect in mice (apoptotic neurons decreased to 31.3 ± 7.6%; infarct volume decreased to 44.9 ± 5.3%). All values are presented as the mean ± SD. Conclusions Activation or up-regulation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 promoted the phenotypic conversion of microglia and decreased the number of apoptotic neurons. Our study suggests that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 is a novel regulator of microglial phenotypes and may be a potential therapeutic target for stroke.

Background/Aims: Neuroserpin (NSP) is known for its neuroprotective role in cerebral ischemic animal models and patients. Our laboratory conducted a series of investigations on the neuroprotection of NSP in different cells in the brain. In the present study, we further observe the effects of NSP on neurons and microglia-mediated inflammatory response following oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), and explore possible mechanisms related to neuroprotection of OGD in the central nervous system (CNS). Methods: Neurons and microglia from neonatal rats were treated with OGD followed by reoxygenation (OGD/R). To confirm the effects of NSP, the neuronal survival, neuronal apoptosis, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release were measured in cultured neurons. Furthermore, the levels of IL-1β and nitric oxide (NO) release were also detected in cultured microglia. The possible mechanisms for the neuroprotective effect of NSP were explored using Western blot analysis. Results: NSP administration can reverse abnormal variations in neurons and microglia-mediated inflammatory response induced by OGD/R processes. The neuronal survival rate, neuronal apoptosis rate, and LDH release were significantly improved by NSP administration in neurons. Simultaneously, the release of IL-1β and NO were significantly reduced by NSP in microglia. Western blot showed that the expression of ERK, P38, and JNK was upregulated in microglia by the OGD/R treatment, and these effects were significantly inhibited by NSP. Conclusion: These data verified the neuroprotective effects of NSP on neurons and microglia-mediated inflammatory response. Inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways might play a potential role in NSP neuroprotection on microglia-mediated inflammatory response, which needs further verification.
