Osteopontin Mediates Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning-Induced Neuroprotection Against Ischemic Stroke
Abstract Neurosurgical operations may result in surgical injury which would lead to postoperative neurological deficits. Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) may be beneficial for such people. However, the exact mechanism underlying HBO-PC is not well known yet. The aim of this study is to explore the role of osteopontin (OPN) in HBO-PC-induced neuroprotection. The study consisted of two experiments. In experiment 1, Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups: sham group, HBO-PC sham group, stroke group, and HBO-PC group (HBO-PC + stroke). The animals in the second experiment were randomly a...

Inhibition of the immunoproteasome LMP2 ameliorates ischemia/hypoxia-induced blood-brain barrier injury through the Wnt/ β-catenin signalling pathway
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that inhibition of the immunoproteasome LMP2 ameliorates ischemia/hypoxia-induced BBB injury, and that the molecular mechanism involves the immunoproteasome-regulated activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway under ischemic conditions.PMID:34857032 | DOI:10.1186/s40779-021-00356-x

The Involvement of Programmed Cell Death 5 (PDCD5) in the Regulation of Apoptosis in Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.
CONCLUSIONS: PDCD5-induced apoptosis and over-expression of PDCD5 are harmful to the ischemic neurons in vivo. Meanwhile, the inhibition of PDCD5 may be protective via reducing the apoptotic-related protein such as p53, Bax, and caspase-3. This observation may have potential for the treatment of ischemic cerebral stroke. PMID: 23638963 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

GADD34 activates p53 and may have utility as a marker of atherosclerosis
Front Med (Lausanne). 2023 May 9;10:1128921. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1128921. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTWe previously identified growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible gene 34 (GADD34) as a marker of ischemic stroke. In the present study, serum levels of anti-GADD34 antibodies were found to be significantly higher in patients with acute ischemic stroke or chronic kidney disease compared to healthy donors. We then examined the biological function of GADD34 by transfection into U2OS human osteosarcoma and U87 human glioblastoma cells. Knockdown of GADD34 by siRNA resulted in enhanced cell proliferation, which was reversed by c...

A dietary polyphenol resveratrol acts to provide neuroprotection in recurrent stroke models by regulating AMPK and SIRT1 signaling, thereby reducing energy requirements during ischemia
In this study, elderly male Wistar rats received a combination of two mild transient middle cerebral artery occlusions (tMCAOs) as an in vivo recurrent ischemic model. Primary cultured cortical neuronal cells subjected to combined oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) were used as an in vitro recurrent ischemic model. RSV administration significantly reduced infarct volumes, improved behavioral deficits and protected neuronal cells from cell death in recurrent ischemic stroke models in vivo and in vitro. RSV treatments significantly increased the intracellular NAD+/NADH ratio, AMPK and SIRT1 activities, decreased energy assum...

Cofilin Inhibition Restores Neuronal Cell Death in Oxygen–Glucose Deprivation Model of Ischemia
Abstract Ischemia is a condition associated with decreased blood supply to the brain, eventually leading to death of neurons. It is associated with a diverse cascade of responses involving both degenerative and regenerative mechanisms. At the cellular level, the changes are initiated prominently in the neuronal cytoskeleton. Cofilin, a cytoskeletal actin severing protein, is known to be involved in the early stages of apoptotic cell death. Evidence supports its intervention in the progression of disease states like Alzheimer’s and ischemic kidney disease. In the present study, we have hypothesized the possible i...

DDR1 may play a key role in destruction of the blood–brain barrier after cerebral ischemia–reperfusion
Publication date: Available online 25 January 2015 Source:Neuroscience Research Author(s): Mingxia Zhu , Dong Xing , Zhihong Lu , Yanhong Fan , Wugang Hou , Hailong Dong , Lize Xiong , Hui Dong Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) has been shown to mediate matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) secretions and degrade all extracellular matrix compounds in mammalian tumor cells. We hypothesized that DDR1 expression will be elevated and the blood–brain barrier (BBB) will be damaged after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Inhibiting DDR1 expression can alleviate BBB disruption and cerebral ischemic damage via down-regulation of M...

Adiponectin attenuates neuronal apoptosis induced by hypoxia-ischemia via the activation of AdipoR1/APPL1/LKB1/AMPK pathway in neonatal rats.
Abstract Adiponectin is an important adipocyte-derived plasma protein that has beneficial effects on cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. A low level of plasma Adiponectin is associated with increased mortality post ischemic stroke; however, little is known about the causal role of Adiponectin as well as its molecular mechanisms in neonatal hypoxia ischemia (HI). In the present study, ten-day-old rat pups were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation followed by 2.5 h hypoxia. Recombinant human Adiponectin (rh-Adiponectin) was administered intranasally 1 h post HI. Adiponectin Receptor 1 (AdipoR1) si...

Non-Invasive Multimodality Imaging Directly Shows TRPM4 Inhibition Ameliorates Stroke Reperfusion Injury
In this study, we used multimodal imaging to assess edema formation and quantify the amount of metabolically functional brain salvaged after a rat model of stroke reperfusion. TRPM4 upregulation in endothelium emerges as early as 2  h post-stroke induction. Expression of TRPM4 channel was suppressed directly in vivo by treatment with siRNA; scrambled siRNA was used as a control. T2-weighted MRI suggests that TRPM4 inhibition successfully reduces edema by 30% and concomitantly salvages functionally active brain, measured by18F-FDG-PET. These in vivo imaging results correlate well with post-mortem 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium...
