Abstract Melatonin has been shown to exert protective effect during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). However, the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Using the oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) model of H9c2 cells in vitro, we found that melatonin alleviated OGD/R-induced H9c2 cell injury via inhibiting Foxo3a/Bim signaling pathway. Inhibition of Rac1 activation contributed to the protective effect of melatonin against OGD/R injury in H9c2 cells. Additionally, melatonin inhibited OGD/R-activated Foxo3a/Bim signaling pathway through inactivation of Rac1. Furthermore, JNK inactivation was responsible for Rac1 inhibition-mediated inactivation of Foxo3a/Bim signaling pathway and decreased cell injury in melatonin-treated H9c2 cells. Taken together, these findings identified a Rac1/JNK/Foxo3a/Bim signaling pathway in melatonin-induced protective effect against OGD/R injury in H9c2 cells. This study provided a novel insight into the protective mechanism of melatonin against myocardial I/R injury.

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.

Purpose: To investigate whether the cytoprotective effect of anthocyanin (Anc) on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced cell injury is related to apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 signaling pathway. Methods: PC12 cells were pre-treated with various concentrations of Anc (10, 50, and 100 μg/mL) in OGD/R-induced cell injury model. The 3-(4, 5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3, 5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay was used to assess cell viability. Cell apoptosis was measured by lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay and flow cytometry. Western blot was employed to determine the protein expressions of BCL-2, BAX, caspase-3, p-ASK1 (Thr845), p-JNK, and p-p38. Results: The results indicate that Anc increased the viability of PC12 cells after OGD/R exposure (p < 0.05), and also efficiently rescued OGD/R-induced apoptosis (p < 0.05). Mechanistic studies showed that these protective roles of Anc are related to the inhibition of ASK1/JNK/p38 signaling pathway. Conclusion: The results indicate Anc protects against OGD/R-induced cell injury by enhancing cell viability and inhibiting cell apoptosis. The underlying mechanism of action is partly via inactivation of ASK1/JNK/p38 signaling pathway. Thus, Anc has promise as a potential natural agent to prevent and treat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

JZL184 is a selective inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) that has neuroprotective effect. However, the role of JZL184 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the exact mechanism have not been fully understood. This study was designed to elucidate the role of JZL184 in cerebral I/R injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in hippocampal neurons. Hippocampal neurons were pretreated with various concentrations of JZL184 for 2 h, followed by OGD for 3 h and reoxygen for 24 h. Our results showed that JZL184 improved cell viability in hippocampal neurons in response to OGD/R. JZL184 treatment significantly inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in OGD/R-induced hippocampal neurons. The increased TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 productions in OGD/R-induced hippocampal neurons were decreased after treatment with JZL184. Moreover, the OGD/R-caused intense TUNEL staining in hippocampal neurons was attenuated by JZL184. JZL184 treatment prevented OGD/R-caused increases in bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression and a decrease in bcl-2 expression. Furthermore, JZL184 treatment significantly promoted the activation of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway in OGD/R-induced hippocampal neurons. Additionally, silencing of Nrf2 reversed the protective effect of JZL184 on hippocampal neurons under OGD/R condition. Taken together, these findings suggested that JZL184 exerted protective effect against OGD/R-induced injury in hippocampal neurons via activating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, which provided in vitro experimental support for the therapeutic benefit of JZL184 in cerebral ischemia.

This study was conducted to estimate the protective effect of Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and to explore its mechanism. The rats were subjected to left anterior descending ligation and perfusion surgery. In vitro experiments were performed on H9c2 cells using the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model. The results showed the administration of C3G reduced the infarction area, mitigated pathological alterations, inhibited ST segment elevation, and attenuated oxidative stress and ferroptosis-related protein expression. C3G also suppressed the expressions of USP19, Beclin1, NCOA4, and LC3II/LC3I. In addition, treatment with C3G relieved oxidative stress, downregulated LC3II/LC3I, reduced autophagosome number, downregulated TfR1 expression, and upregulated the expressions of FTH1 and GPX4 in OGD/R-induced H9c2 cells. C3G could inhibit the protein levels of USP19 and LC3II. C3G promoted K11-linked ubiquitination of Beclin1. Further evidence that C3G reduced ferroptosis and ameliorated myocardial I/R injury was demonstrated with the ferroptosis promoter RSL3. Taken together, C3G could be a potential agent to protect myocardium from myocardial I/R injury.

The purpose of the study was to explore the mechanism by which myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced exosomes modulate mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to regulate myocardial injury. In this study, we established an I/R injury model in vivo and a hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model in vitro. Then, exosomes isolated from H/R-exposed H9c2 cells were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and Western blot analysis. CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry were performed to assess cell injury. ELISA was applied to determine the level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function in vivo. HE staining and TUNEL assays were conducted to analyze myocardial injury in vivo. In the present study, H/R-exposed H9c2 cells induced IGF-1 secretion from MSCs to inhibit cell myocardial injury. Moreover, exosomes derived from H/R-exposed H9c2 cells were introduced to MSCs to increase IGF-1 levels. The lncRNA KLF3-AS1 was dramatically upregulated in exosomes derived from H/R-treated H9c2 cells. Functional experiments showed that the exosomal lncRNA KLF3-AS1 promoted IGF-1 secretion from MSCs and increased H9c2 cell viability. In addition, miR-23c contains potential binding sites for both KLF3-AS1 and STAT5B, and miR-23c directly bound to the 3'-UTRs of KLF3-AS1 and STAT5B. Furthermore, the lncRNA KLF3-AS1 promoted IGF-1 secretion from MSCs and rescued myocardial cell injury in vivo and in vitro by upregulating STAT5B expression. The lncRNA KLF3-AS1 may serve as a new direction for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract Background Pyroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death, which induces a strong pro-inflammatory reaction. However, the mechanism of pyroptosis after brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and the interaction between different neural cells are still unclear. This study comprehensively explored the mechanisms and interactions of microglial and neuronal pyroptosis in the simulated I/R environment in vitro. Methods The BV2 and HT22 cells were treated by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). The pyroptotic cells were detected by dye uptake method. The expression levels of pyroptotic-related proteins were determined by western blotting, immunofluorescence and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The cell viability was assessed using MTT assay Kit. AC-YVAD-CMK, necrosulfonamide and the siRNA of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) were used to observe the inhibited effect on caspase-1 and GSDMD, respectively. A transwell co-culture model was applied to observe pyroptosis and interactions between BV2 and HT22 cell after OGD/R. Results Both BV2 and HT22 cells underwent pyroptosis after OGD/R, and the pyroptosis occurred at earlier time point in HT22 than that of BV2. Caspase-11 and Gasdermin E (GSDME) expression in BV2 and HT22 cells did not change significantly after OGD/R. Inhibition of caspase-1 or GSDMD activity, or down-regulation of GSDMD expression, alleviated pyroptosis in both BV2 and HT22 cells after OGD/R. Transwell studies further showed that OGD/R-treated HT22 or BV2 cells aggravated pyroptosis of adjacent non-OGD/R-treated cells, which could be relieved by inhibition of caspase-1 or GSDMD. Conclusions OGD/R induces pyroptosis of microglia and neuronal cells and aggravates cell injury via activation of caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that caspase-1 and GSDMD may be therapeutic targets after cerebral I/R. Necrosulfonamide, a chemical inhibitor of GSDMD, may be a potential drug to prevent cerebral I/R-induced brain injury.

Objective: The objective of the present work was to study the role of Cxcl1 in cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury and to in-depth explore its pathogenesis. Methods: The expression of Cxcl1 based on the public data was analyzed. Then, we constructed an oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in vitro using mice brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) to simulate cerebral I/R in vivo. Results: The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay uncovered that Cxcl1 showed higher expression while miR-429 showed lower expression in BMECs damaged by OGD/R, whereas overexpression of Cxcl1 or inhibition of miR-429 expression can strengthen this effect. Hereafter, through dual luciferase reporter assay, we verified that miR-429 directly targets Cxcl1 and negatively regulates Cxcl1 expression. Furthermore, the results also revealed that overexpression of Cxcl1 can reverse the miR-429-mediated effects. Conclusion: We concluded that miR-429 exerts protective effects against OGD/R-induce injury in vitro through modulation of Cxcl1 and nuclear factor kinase B pathway, hoping provide a new view on the pathogenesis of cerebral I/R injury and a feasible potential therapeutic target.
