VEGF antagonism attenuates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis.
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis pathway is considered to play a vital role in mediating stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases. Previous studies have showed that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonism reduced cerebral ischemic/reperfusion (CI/R) damage, but whether attenuation of ER stress-induced apoptosis is contributing to its mechanisms remains elusive. Our study aimed to investigate the protective effect of VEGF antagonism on CI/R-induced injury. First, oxygen-glucose deprivation and re-oxygenation (OGD/R) BEND3 cell model was constructed to estimate siRNA-VEGF o...

Intranasal wnt-3a alleviates neuronal apoptosis in early brain injury post subarachnoid hemorrhage via the regulation of wnt target PPAN mediated by the moonlighting role of aldolase C
Publication date: Available online 31 December 2019Source: Neurochemistry InternationalAuthor(s): Wu Ruan, Junwen Hu, Hang Zhou, Yin Li, Chaoran Xu, Yujie Luo, Ting Chen, Bangliang Xu, Feng Yan, Gao ChenAbstractNeuronal apoptosis is one of the main pathophysiological events in the early brain injury (EBI) post subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Wnt-3a, one of the endogenous wnt ligands crucial in neurogenesis, has been proven to be efficacious in neuroprotection in traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke. The glycolytic enzyme aldolase C and ribosome biogenesis protein PPAN were revealed to be linked to wnt signaling pathwa...

Electroacupuncture Pretreatment Prevents Ischemic Stroke and Inhibits Wnt Signaling-Mediated Autophagy Through the Regulation of GSK-3 β Phosphorylation.
In this study, rats were treated with EA prior to focal ischemia by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Deficit score, infarct volumes and levels of autophagy markers, such as LC3I, LC3II and p62, were assessed with either PI3K inhibitor wortmannin or a GSK-3β inhibitor LiCl. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) was made in the primitive neuron in vitro, and was respectively treated with autophagy inhibitors 3-MA, LiCl, GSK3β siRNA, or mTOR inhibitor rapamycin. The results indicated that EA pretreatment increased the levels of autophagy marker LC3-II and reduced the levels of p62. Meanwhile, deficit out...

Occludin degradation makes brain microvascular endothelial cells more vulnerable to reperfusion injury in vitro
AbstractIntracerebral hemorrhage is the most dangerous complication in tPA thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke, which occurs as a consequence of endothelial cell death at the blood brain barrier (BBB) during thrombolytic reperfusion. We have previously shown that cerebral ischemia induced rapid occludin degradation and BBB disruption. Here we demonstrated an important role of occludin degradation in facilitating the evolution of ischemic endothelial cells towards death. Cultured brain microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3 cells) were exposed to oxygen ‐glucose deprivation (OGD) or incubated with occludin siRNA or ...

Poldip2 mediates blood-brain barrier disruption and cerebral edema by inducing AQP4 polarity loss in mouse bacterial meningitis model.
CONCLUSION: Poldip2 inhibition alleviated brain edema and preserved the integrity of BBB partially by relieving the loss of AQP4 polarity via MMPs/β-DG pathway. PMID: 32790044 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinacanthus nutans Mitigates Neuronal Death and Reduces Ischemic Brain Injury: Role of NF- κB-driven IL-1β Transcription
AbstractNeuroinflammation has been shown to exacerbate ischemic brain injury, and is considered as a prime target for the development of stroke therapies.Clinacanthus nutans Lindau (C. nutans) is widely used in traditional medicine for treating insect bites, viral infection and cancer, due largely to its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, we reported that an ethanol extract from the leaf ofC. nutans could protect the brain against ischemia-triggered neuronal death and infarction. In order to further understand the molecular mechanism(s) for its beneficial effects, two experimental paradigms, namely,...

PAF Receptor Inhibition Attenuates Neuronal Pyroptosis in Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
AbstractIschemic stroke is an inflammation-related disease, during which process activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and subsequent pyroptosis play crucial roles. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent phospholipid regulator of inflammation which exerts its effect via binding specific PAF receptor (PAFR). However, whether PAFR contributes to pyroptosis during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains to be elucidated. To explore the underlying effect of PAFR on ischemic stroke from the perspective of pyroptosis, mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury and primary cultures of m...
