<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CI/R) injury is a devasting cerebrovascular disease, accompanied with ischemia stroke, cerebral infarction. Zuogui Pill (ZGP), as a Chinese traditional medicine, is proved to be effective in many diseases and cancers. Our study aimed to detect the roles of ZGP in CI/R injury. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Neural stem cells were isolated from rats and induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation and recovery. CCK-8 and flow cytometry were applied to assess the function of ZGP on cell viability and apoptosis. Rat CI/R injury models were established by the middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. The function of ZGP on CI/R injury was identified via evaluating modified neurological severity score, infarct area, and cognitive impairment. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Compared to the control, the cell viability was obviously decreased in the oxygen and glucose deprivation and recovery (OGD/R) group, while the adverse influence on cells was reversed by cultured plus 10% ZGP serum. Consistently, ZGP attenuated the influence of OGD/R on cell apoptosis. More importantly, ZGP could alleviate CI/R injury of rats by reducing neurological damage and infarct area and promoting cognitive function. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This study provided protective roles of ZGP on cell viability and apoptosis induced by OGD/R. In addition, ZGP played protective roles on neuroinflammation and cognitive function in rats.

Na+–K+–Cl− cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1) and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger isoform 1 (NCX1) were expressed in cortical neurons. Three hours of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) significantly increased expression of full-length NCX1 protein (∼116 kDa), which remained elevated during 1 to 21 h reoxygenation (REOX) and was accompanied with concurrent cleavage of NCX1. Na+/Ca2+ exchanger isoform 1 heterozygous (NCX1+/−) neurons with ∼50% less of NCX1 protein exhibited ∼64% reduction in NCX-mediated Ca2+ influx. Expression of NCX1 and NKCC1 proteins was reduced in double heterozygous (NCX1+/−/NKCC1+/−) neurons. NCX-mediated Ca2+ influx was nearly abolished in these neurons. Three-hour OGD and 21-h REOX caused ∼80% mortality rate in NCX1+/+ neurons and in NCX1+/− neurons. In contrast, NKCC1+/− neurons exhibited ∼45% less cell death. The lowest mortality rate was found in NCX1+/−/NKCC1+/− neurons (∼65% less neuronal death). The increased tolerance to ischemic damage was also observed in NCX1+/−/NKCC1+/− brains after transient cerebral ischemia. NCX1+/−/NKCC1+/− mice had a significantly reduced infarct volume at 24 and 72 h reperfusion. In conclusion, these data suggest that NKCC1 in conjunction with NCX1 plays a role in reperfusion-induced brain injury after ischemia.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. In this study, we investigated the time course of gelatinolytic activation in a rat model of permanent ischemia. We observed an activation of MMPs as early as 30 mins after the ischemic insult, mainly in the nuclei of brain cells. Besides, we explored MMP-13 expression in brain samples of the animal model and stroke deceased patients. We observed an upregulation of active MMP-13 in rat brains ( P< 0.05) after 90 mins of cerebral ischemia. Human infarct/periinfarct samples also showed higher levels of active MMP-13 ( P< 0.05) compared with contralateral ones. Interestingly, we found that MMP-13 colocalized with 46-diamidino-2-phenyl indole signal by immunohistochemistry in both humans and rats, suggesting an intranuclear localization for MMP-13. Immunohistochemistry also revealed that MMP-13 was mainly produced by neurons, in both species, but also by oligodendrocytes in rats, and by astrocytes in humans. Finally we subjected a rat primary neuronal culture to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) and we reproduced the nuclear translocation of MMP-13 in vitro. Nuclear extracts from cells confirmed upregulation of active MMP-13 after OGD ( P< 0.05). These results suggest that MMP-13 activation and its nuclear translocation is an early consequence of an ischemic stimulus.

AbstractLINGO-1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia. However, its biological function and underlying molecular mechanism in cerebral ischemia remain to be further defined. In our study, middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MACO/R) mice model and HT22 cell oxygen–glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) were established to simulate the pathological process of cerebral ischemia in vivo and in vitro and to detect the relevant mechanism. We found that LINGO-1 mRNA and protein were upregulated in mice and cell models. Down-regulation LINGO-1 improved the neurological symptoms and reduced pathological changes and the infarct size of the mice after MACO/R. In addition, LINGO-1 interference alleviated apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation in HT22 of OGD/R. Moreover, down-regulation of LINGO-1 proved to inhibit nuclear translocation of p-NF-κB and reduce the expression level of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3. In conclusion, our data suggest that shLINGO-1 attenuated ischemic injury by negatively regulating NF-KB and JAK2/STAT3 pathways, highlighting a novel therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
