Reperfusion of blood flow during ischemic myocardium resuscitation induces ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Oxidative stress has been identified as a major cause in this process. Quercetin (QCT) is a member of the flavonoid family that exerts antioxidant effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of QCT on I/R injury and its underlying mechanism. To this end, H9c2 cardiomyocytes were treated with different concentrations of QCT (10, 20, and 40 μM) and subsequently subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) administration. The results indicated that OGD/R-induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction in H9c2 cardiomyocytes were aggravated following 40 μM QCT treatment and alleviated following the administration of 10 and 20 μM QCT prior to OGD/R treatment. In addition, OGD/R treatment inactivated ERK1/2 signaling activation. The effect was mitigated using 10 and 20 μM QCT prior to OGD/R treatment. In conclusion, these results suggested that low concentrations of QCT might alleviate I/R injury by suppressing oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function through the regulation of ERK1/2-DRP1 signaling, providing a potential candidate for I/R injury prevention.

Reperfusion Damage

Oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage is a main cause of ischemia/reperfusion injury. Curcumin (Cur), the principal constituent extracted from dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. (turmeric), exhibits excellent antioxidant effects. Previous studies have indicated that miR-1287-5p was downregulated in patients with ischemic stroke. Additionally, we predicted that Lon Peptidase 2, Peroxisomal (LONP2), which is involved in oxidative stress regulation, is targeted by miR-1287-5p. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of Cur on ischemia/reperfusion damage and its underlying mechanism. To mimic ischemia/reperfusion damage environment, SH-SY5Y cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose-deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). OGD/R treatment downregulated miR-1287-5p and upregulated LONP2 in SH-SY5Y cells, but Cur alleviated OGD/R-induced oxidative damage and reversed the effect of OGD/R on the expression of miR-1287-5p and LONP2. Furthermore, we confirmed the interactive relationship between miR-1287-5p and LONP2 (negative regulation). We revealed that miR-1287-5p overexpression alleviated OGD/R-induced oxidative damage alleviation, similar to the effect of Cur. MiR-1287-5p inhibition accentuated OGD/R-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells, which was reversed by Cur. The expression of LONP2 in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells was decreased by miR-1287-5p overexpression and increased by miR-1287-5p inhibition, and Cur counteracted the increase in LONP2 expression induced by miR-1287-5p inhibition. In conclusion, we suggest that Cur alleviates OGD/R-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells by regulating the miR-1287-5p/LONP2 axis. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of curcumin.

Abstract Background: Mimicking ischemia-reperfusion injury, oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-re-oxygenation (OGDR) stimulation to endometrial cells induces significant oxidative stress and programmed necrosis, which can be inhibited by nuclear-factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling activation. MicroRNA (miRNA)-induced silencing of the Nrf2 suppressor protein Keap1 is novel strategy to activate Nrf2 cascade. Methods: microRNA-941 (miR-941) expression was exogenously altered in HESC cells and primary human endometrial cells, and cells treated with OGDR. Nrf2 pathway genes were examined by Western blotting assay and real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Endometrial cell programmed necrosis and apoptosis were tested. Results: miR-941 is a novel Keap1-targeting miRNA, regulates Nrf2 signaling activation. In T-HESC cells and primary human endometrial cells, ectopic overexpression of miR-941 suppressed Keap1 3’-UTR (untranslated region) activity and downregulated its mRNA/protein expression, leading to Nrf2 cascade activation. Conversely, Keap1’s 3’-UTR activity and expression were elevated in endometrial cells with miR-941 inhibition, whereas Nrf2 activation was inhibited. miR-941 overexpression in endometrial cells largely attenuated OGDR-induced oxidative stress and programmed necrosis, both were intensified with miR-941 inhibition. Further studies show that Keap1-Nrf2 cascade activation is absolutely required for miR-941-induced endometrial cell protection. MiR-941 overexpression and inhibition were completely ineffective in Keap1-/Nrf2-KO T-HESC cells (using CRISPR/Cas9 strategy). Restoring Keap1 expression, by an UTR-depleted Keap1 construct, abolished miR-941-induced anti-OGDR activity in T-HESC cells. Conclusions: Targeting Keap1 by miR-941 activates Nrf2 cascade to protect human endometrial cells from OGDR-induced oxidative stress and programmed necrosis.

Background. The intravenous anesthetic propofol is reported to be a cardioprotective agent against ischemic-reperfusion injury in the heart. However, the regulatory mechanism still remains unclear.Methods. In this study, we used H9c2 cell line under condition of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) followed by reperfusion (OGD/R) to inducein vitrocardiomyocytes ischemia-reperfusion injury. Propofol (5, 10, and 20 μM) was added to the cell cultures before and during the OGD/R phases to investigate the underlying mechanism.Results. Our data showed that OGD/R decreased cell viability, and increased lactate dehydrogenase leakage, and reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde production in H9c2 cells, all of which were significantly reversed by propofol. Moreover, we found that propofol increased both the activities and protein expressions of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In addition, propofol increased FoxO1 expression in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited p-AMPK formation significantly.Conclusions. These results indicate that the propofol might exert its antioxidative effect through FoxO1 in H9c2 cells, and it has a potential therapeutic effect on cardiac disorders involved in oxidative stress.

Background: Baicalin (BCL), a candidate drug for ischemic stroke, has been indicated to protect neurons by promoting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). However, the cellular source of BDNF release promoted by baicalin and its detailed protective mechanism after ischemia/reperfusion remains to be studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective mechanisms of baicalin against oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in a neuron–astrocyte coculture system and to explore whether the BDNF-TrkB pathway is involved.Methods and Results: A neuron–astrocyte coculture system was established to elucidate the role of astrocytes in neurons under OGD/R conditions. The results demonstrated that astrocytes became reactive astrocytes and released more BDNF in the coculture system to attenuate neuronal apoptosis and injury after OGD/R. BCL maintained the characteristics of reactive astrocytes and obviously increased the expression of cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and the levels of BDNF in the coculture system after OGD/R. To further verify whether BDNF binding to its receptor tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) was required for the neuroprotective effect of baicalin, we examined the effect of ANA-12, an antagonist of TrkB, on NA system injury, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis induced by OGD/R. The results showed that treatment of NA systems with ANA-12 significantly attenuated the neuroprotection of BCL. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways are two important downstream cascades of signaling pathways activated by BDNF binding to TrkB. We investigated the expressions of TrkB, PI3K, Akt, MAPK, and ERK. The results demonstrated that baicalin significantly increased the expressions of TrkB, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK/ERK.Conclusion: The neuroprotective effects of baicalin against oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis were improved by astrocytes, mainly mediated by increasing the release of BDNF and its associated receptor TrkB and downstream signaling regulators PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK1/2.

The main pathophysiology in cerebral ischemia is the structural alteration in the neurovascular unit, coinciding with neurovascular matrix degradation. Among the human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-2 and -9, known as gelatinases, are the key enzymes for degrading type IV collagen, which is the major component of the basal membrane that surrounds the cerebral blood vessel. In the present study, we investigated the effects of resveratrol on cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and gelatinases (MMP-2 and -9) in human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells exposed to 6 hours of oxygen-glucose deprivation and a subsequent 24 hours of reoxygenation with glucose (OGD/R), to mimic ischemia/reperfusion in vivo. Lactate dehydrogenase increased significantly, in comparison to that in the normoxia group. ROS was markedly increased in the OGD/R group, compared to normoxia. Correspondingly, ROS was significantly reduced with 50 μM of resveratrol. The proMMP-2 activity in the OGD/R group showed a statistically significant increase from the control cells. Resveratrol preconditioning decreased significantly the proMMP-2 in the cells exposed to OGD/R in comparison to that in the OGD/R group. Our results indicate that resveratrol regulates MMP-2 activity induced by OGD/R via its antioxidant effect, implying a possible mechanism related to the neuroprotective effect of resveratrol.

Objective: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a pathological feature of ischemic stroke. This study investigated the regulatory role of miR-485-5p in I/R injury. Methods: SH-SY5Y cells were induced with oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to mimic I/R injury in vitro. Cells were transfected with designated constructs (miR-485- 5p mimics, miR-485-5p inhibitor, lentiviral vectors overexpressing Rac1 or their corresponding controls). Cell viability was evaluated using the MTT assay. The concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde, and reactive oxygen species were detected to indicate the degree of oxidative stress. Flow cytometry and caspase-3 activity assay were used for apoptosis assessment. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm that Rac family small GTPase 1 (Rac1) was a downstream gene of miR-485-5p. Results: OGD/R resulted in decreased cell viability, elevated oxidative stress, increased apoptosis, and downregulated miR-485-5p expression in SH-SY5Y cells. MiR-485-5p upregulation alleviated I/R injury, evidenced by improved cell viability, decreased oxidative markers, and reduced apoptotic rate. OGD/R increased the levels of Rac1 and neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 2 (Notch2) signaling-related proteins in cells with normal miR-485-5p expression, whereas miR- 485-5p overexpression successfully suppressed OGD/R-induced upregulation of these proteins. Furthermore, the delivery of vectors overexpressing Rac1 in miR-485-5p mimics-transfected cells reversed the protective effect of miR-485-5p in cells with OGD/R-induced injury. Conclusion: This study showed that miR-485-5p protected cells following I/R injury via targeting Rac1/Notch2 signaling suggest that targeted upregulation of miR-485-5p might be a promising therapeutic option for the protection against I/R injury.

Neuronal apoptosis induced by oxidative stress is a major pathological process that occurs after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (CG) is a representative component of isoflavones in Radix Astragali (RA). Previous studies have shown that CG has potential neuroprotective effects. However, whether CG alleviates neuronal apoptosis through antioxidant stress after ischemia-reperfusion remains unknown. To investigate the positive effects of CG on oxidative stress and apoptosis of neurons, we simulated the ischemia-reperfusion process in vitro using an immortalized hippocampal neuron cell line (HT22) and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model. CG significantly improved cell viability and reduced oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. In addition, CG treatment upregulated the expression of SIRT1, FOXO1, PGC-1α, and Bcl-2 and downregulated the expression of Bax. In summary, our findings indicate that CG alleviates OGD/R-induced damage via the SIRT1/FOXO1/PGC-1α signaling pathway. Thus, CG maybe a promising therapeutic candidate for brain injury associated with ischemic stroke.

Objective: To investigate how nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) involved in the protective effect of isoflurane (Iso) preconditioning in oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced cortical neuron injury. Methods: Primary mouse cortical neurons were divided into Control, ML385 (an Nrf2 inhibitor), Iso, Iso + ML385, OGD, ML385 + OGD, Iso + OGD, and Iso + ML385 + OGD groups. Lactate dehydrogenase activity (LDH) release and oxidative stress indexes were quantified. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to detect cell viability, Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining to measure cell apoptosis, dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) method to test reactive oxygen species (ROS), and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting to evaluate genes and protein expression. Results: Iso preconditioning reduced LDH release and inhibited cell cytotoxicity in OGD-induced cortical neurons, which was abolished by ML385. Iso preconditioning increased the Nrf2 nuclear translocation in cortical neurons. Meanwhile, Iso decreased the OGD-induced apoptosis with the down-regulations of Bax and Caspase-3 and the up-regulation of Bcl-2, which was reversed by ML385. OGD enhanced the level of ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) in cortical neurons, but reduced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), which were aggravated in ML385 + OGD group and mitigated in Iso + OGD group. No observable difference was found between OGD group and Iso + ML385 + OGD group regarding apoptosis-related proteins and oxidative stress-related indexes. Conclusion: Iso preconditioning up-regulated Nrf2 level to play its protective role in OGD-induced mouse cortical neuron injury.
