Cerebral ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion is an essential contributor to acute cerebral stroke. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been proven to provide neuroprotection in ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, but their mechanism behind neuroprotection in cerebral stroke are still unclear. Central histaminergic pathway has crucial role in the pathogenesis of cerebral stroke, but their neuroprotective role in IPC is still unidentified. This research explores the role of histamine-1 receptor in IPC induced neuroprotection against ischemia-reperfusion induced cerebral injury. Rat were subjected to 17 min of global cerebral ischemia (GCI) by occluding both carotid arteries followed by reperfusion for 24 h, to produce ischemia-reperfusion induced cerebral injury. TTC staining was used to measure cerebral infarct size. Morris water maze test was used to assess memory. Inclined beam-walk, hanging wire, lateral push and rota-rod tests were used to assess degree of motor incoordination. Brain acetylcholinesterase activity, nitrite/nitrate, glutathione, TBARS and MPO levels were also examined. GCI has produced a significant increase in cerebral infarction, brain nitrite/nitrate, MPO, TBARS and AChE activity along with a reduction in glutathione content. Impairment of memory and motor coordination were also noted in GCI induced rat. IPC was employed that consist of 3 preceding episodes of ischemia (1 min) and reperfusion (1 min) both immediately before GCI significantly decreased cerebral infarction, motor incoordination, memory impairment and biochemical impairment. Pretreatment with L-histidine mimicked the neuroprotective effects of IPC. L-histidine induced neuroprotection were significantly abolished by chlorpheniramine, a H1 receptor antagonist. We conclude that neuroprotective effects of IPC, probably occurs through the central histaminergic pathway, and histamine-1 receptor could be a new target behind the neuroprotective mechanism of IPC.

Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a phenomenon in which the cerebral blood supply is restored after a period of ischemia, resulting in irreversible damage to brain tissue. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of CIRI, therefore, targeting oxidative stress might be an effective strategy for CIRI prevention and treatment. Many therapeutic substances possess antioxidant and protective properties against neurodegenerative disorders but lack of in vivo application due to their solubility, and bioavailability. We investigated the effects of alpha-mangostin (αM) encapsulated in nanostructured lipid carriers (αM-NLC) on CIRI in mice. Forty male ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, ischemia reperfusion (IR), ischemia reperfusion with 25 mg/kg of αM (IR+αM), and ischemia reperfusion with 25 mg/kg of αM-NLC (IR+αM-NLC). After 6 days of oral administrations, IR was delivered using 30 min of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, followed by 45 min of reperfusion. Cerebral infarction volume, hippocampal neuronal and corpus callosum (CC) white matter damage, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and catalase (CAT) activity were evaluated. Our results indicated that αM and αM-NLC prevent lipid peroxidation as well as hippocampal CA1, CA3, and CC damage (p<0.05). Only αM-NLC prevented cerebral infarction and enhanced CAT activity (p<0.05). We therefore conclude that αM and αM-NLC have neuroprotective effects against CIRI, and NLC increases therapeutic efficacy of αM against CIRI.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a common disease with poor prognosis, which has become one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is the main bioactive ingredient of Astragali Radix (which has been used for ischemic stroke for thousands of years) and has been found to have multiple bioactivities in the nervous system. In the present study, we aimed to explore the neuroprotective effects of AS-IV in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury targeting the Sirt1/Mapt pathway.Methods: Sprague–Dawley rats (male, 250–280 g) were randomly divided into the Sham group, middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) group, AS-IV group, MCAO/R + EX527 (SIRT1-specific inhibitor) group, and AS-IV + EX527 group. Each group was further assigned into several subgroups according to ischemic time (6 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 7 days). The CIR injury was induced in MCAO/R group, AS-IV group, MCAO/R + EX527 group, and AS-IV + EX527 group by MCAO surgery in accordance with the modified Zea Longa criteria. Modified Neurological Severity Scores (mNSS) were used to evaluate the neurological deficits; TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining was used to detect cerebral infarction area; Western Blot was used to assess the protein levels of SIRT1, acetylated MAPT (ac-MAPT), phosphorylated MAPT (p-MAPT), and total MAPT (t-MAPT); Real-time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used in the detection of Sirt1 and Mapt transcriptions.Results: Compared with the MCAO/R group, AS-IV can significantly improve the neurological dysfunction (p &lt; 0.05), reduce the infarction area (p &lt; 0.05), raise the expression of SIRT1 (p &lt; 0.05), and alleviate the abnormal hyperacetylation and hyperphosphorylation of MAPT (p &lt; 0.05). While compared with the AS-IV group, AS-IV + EX527 group showed higher mNSS scores (p &lt; 0.05), more severe cerebral infarction (p &lt; 0.05), lower SIRT1 expression (p &lt; 0.01), and higher ac-MAPT and p-MAPT levels (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: AS-IV can improve the neurological deficit after CIR injury in rats and reduce the cerebral infarction area, which exerts neuroprotective effects probably through the Sirt1/Mapt pathway.

The cerebral ischemic injury induced-long term cognitive impairment-related learning and memory alterations was assessed using morris water maze, the motor performances of the animals were evaluated using rota-rod test and neurological severity score. The cerebral infract size of the brain were quantified using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Results: Global cerebral ischemia causes long term memory impairment, decreases motor performances and increases the brain infract size in animals. The delivery of remote ischemic preconditioning stimulus significantly abolished the long-term cognitive impairment and ameliorates the motor performances as well as cerebral infract size in brain. Conclusion: The remote ischemic preconditioning mediates neuro protection against global cerebral ischemic injury induced long-term cognitive impairment.

The Impact

Abstract Background Stroke serves as a prevalent cerebrovascular disorder with severe cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury, in which neural stem cells (NSCs) play critical roles in the recovery of cerebral function. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been widely found to participate in stroke and NSC modulation. However, the role of circRNA TTC3 (circTTC3) in the regulation of CIR injury and NSCs remains elusive. Here, we aimed to explore the impact of circTTC3 on CIR injury and NSCs. Methods The middle cerebral artery occlusion/repression (MCAO/R) model was established in C57BL/6J mice. The primary astrocytes were isolated from the cerebellum from C57BL/6J mice. The primary NSCs were obtained from rat embryos. The effect of circTTC3 on CIR injury and NSCs was analyzed by TTC staining, qPCR, Western blot, LDH colorimetric kits, MTT assays, Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit, luciferase reporter gene assays, and others in the system. Results Significantly, the expression of circTTC3 was elevated in the MCAO/R mice and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated astrocytes. The depletion of circTTC3 attenuated cerebral infarction, neurological score, and brain water content. The OGD treatment induced apoptosis and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the astrocytes, in which circTTC3 depletion reduced this phenotype in the system. Moreover, the depletion of circTTC3 promoted the proliferation and upregulated the nestin and β-tubulin III expression in NSCs. Mechanically, circTTC3 was able to sponge miR-372-3p, and miR-372-3p can target Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in NSCs. The miR-372-3p inhibitor or TLR4 overexpression could reverse circTTC3 depletion-mediated astrocyte OGD injury and NSC regulation. Conclusion Thus, we conclude that circTTC3 regulates CIR injury and NSCs by the miR-372-3p/TLR4 axis in cerebral infarction. Our finding presents new insight into the mechanism by which circTTC3 modulates CIR injury and NSC dysfunction. CircTTC3, miR-372-3p, and TLR4 may serve as potential targets for the treatment of CIR injury during stroke.

Abstract Background This study aimed to explore the role of miR-380-5p in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury-induced neuronal cell death and the potential signaling pathway involved. Methodology Human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y cells were used in this study. Oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model was used to mimic ischemia/reperfusion injury. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to examine cell survival. Quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR) assay and Western blotting were used to measure the change of RNA and protein expression, respectively. TargetScan and Luciferase assay was used to confirm the target of miR-380-5p. Malondialdehyde (MDA) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) were measured using commercial kits. Results miR-380-5p was downregulated in SH-SY5Y cells after OGD/R. Cell viability was increased by miR-380-5p, while cell apoptosis was reduced by miR-380-5p mimics. MDA was reduced by miR-380-5p mimics, while SOD and GSHPx were increased by miR-380-5p. Results of TargetScan and luciferase assay have showed that BACH1 is the direct target of miR-380-5p. Expression of NRF2 was upregulated after OGD/R, but was not affected by miR-380-5p. mRNA expression of HO-1 and NQO1 and ARE activity were increased by miR-380-5p. Overexpression of BACH1 reversed the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of miR-380-5p. Conclusion miR-380-5p inhibited cell death induced by CIR injury through target BACH1 which also facilitated the activation of NRF2, indicating the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of miR-380-5p.

Cell therapy is the most advanced treatment of the cerebral ischemia, nowadays. Herein, we discuss the neuroprotective effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on rat hippocampal cells following intravenous injection of these cells in an ischemia-reperfusion model. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: control, sham (surgery without blockage of common carotid arteries), ischemia (common carotid arteries were blocked for 30 min prior to reperfusion), vehicle (7 days after ischemia PBS was injected via the tail vein), and treatment (injections of BMSC into the tail veins 7 days after ischemia). We performed neuromuscular and vestibulomotor function tests to assess behavioral function and, finally, brains were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), anti-Brdu immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining. The ischemia group had severe apoptosis. The group treated with BMSCs had a lower mortality rate and also had significant improvement in functional recovery (P<0.001). Ischemia-reperfusion for 30 min causes damage and extensive neuronal death in the hippocampus, especially in CA1 and CA3 regions, leading to several functional and neurological deficits. In conclusion, intravenous injection of BMSCs can significantly decrease the number of apoptotic neurons and significantly improve functional recovery, which may be a beneficial treatment method for ischemic injuries.

Abstract BackgroundNeuroinflammation and apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Alisol A 24-acetate (24A) has a strong inhibitory effect on inflammation and cell apoptosis. The neuroprotective effect of 24A in the global cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion (GCI/R) is still unclear. Methods GCI/R mice was used to investigated the neuroprotective effect of 24A. Modified neurological deficit scores, Morris Water Maze and object recognition test were used to evaluate behaviors. The metabolism in brain regions was detected by MRS. The changes of microglia, astrocytes and neurons was detected. The inflammation and apoptosis were measured.Results The results showed that 24A improved behavioral dysfunction and brain metabolism, alleviate neuroinflammation and apoptosis, inhibited microglia and astrocytes activation, which is associated with the activation of PI3K/AKT pathway. ConclusionsTaken together, our study demonstrated that 24A could alleviate GCI/R injury through anti-neuroinflammation and anti-apoptosis via regulating the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Gastrodin can activate the Notch 1 signaling pathway in the ischemic brain area to produce neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and to elucidate the role of Notch 1 and NF-κB signaling pathways in the Gastrodin-induced cerebral ischemic tolerance. Material and methods: The focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery embolism was established. TTC staining was applied to detect cerebral infarction. Tunel/NeuN immunofluorescence double labeling was employed to detect apoptosis. WB was used to detect the expressions of proteins related to the Notch 1 and NF-κB pathways. Results: Gastrodin can reduce neuron apoptosis in hippocampus after MCAO/R injury. After DAPT blocked Notch 1 signaling, the neuroprotective effects of Gastrodin improving neural function score, reducing cerebral infarction volume, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, were all reversed. Compared with the MCAO/R group, DAPT blocking Notch 1 signaling can also improve the neurological score of rats after MCAO/R injury, reduce cerebral infarct volume, and reduce neuronal apoptosis. Gastrodin can activate Notch 1 and NF-κB signaling pathways in cerebral ischemic areas and increase the expression of related proteins. After DAPT inhibited the Notch 1 signaling in the ipsilateral brain region, the phosphorylation level was significantly decreased, indicating that the activity of the NF-κB pathway was regulated by the Notch 1 signaling. Conclusion: Gastrodin-mediated protection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is related to the activation of Notch 1 signaling and the up-regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway activity in neurons of ischemic brain area.
