Anti ‐inflammatory effects of ADAMTS‐4 in a mouse model of ischemic stroke
ADAMTS‐4 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs type 4) is a metalloprotease capable to degrade chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans leading to cartilage destruction during arthritis or to neuroplasticity during spinal cord injury (SCI). Although ADAMTS‐4 is an inflammatory‐regulated enzyme, its role during inflammation has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ADAMTS‐4 in neuroinflammation. First, we evidenced an increase of ADAMTS‐4 expression in the ischemic brain hemisphere of mouse and human patients suffering from ischemic stroke. Then, we descri...

Suppression of PKC-α attenuates TNF-α-evoked cerebral barrier breakdown via regulations of MMP-2 and plasminogen–plasmin system
In conclusion, specific inhibition of PKC-α in cerebral conditions associated with exaggerated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably TNF-α may be of considerable therapeutic value and help maintain endothelial cell viability, appropriate cytoskeletal structure and basement membrane.

Nrf2/antioxidant defense pathway is involved in the neuroprotective effects of Sirt1 against focal cerebral ischemia in rats after hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning.
Abstract Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a class III histone deacetylase involved in neuroprotection induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) in animal models of ischemia. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be illustrated. In the present study, rats exposed to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were used to establish an ischemic stroke model. The infarct volume ratio, neurobehavioral score, and expressions of Sirt1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) were evaluated at 7days after reperfusion, and the level of malondialdehy...

A Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism in 3'-Untranslated Region of Endothelin-1 Reduces Risk of Dementia After Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated the pathogenesis mechanism during the development of dementia after ischemic stroke by investigating the relationship between miR-125a and its target ET-1, promising a potential pathological solution for post-stroke dementia in the future.

Drp‐1, a potential therapeutic target for brain ischaemic stroke
Conclusions and ImplicationsOur findings that Drp‐1 increases the resistance of neurons of hippocampal CA3 affected by global ischaemia and contributes to the tolerance conferred by IPC highlight Drp‐1 as a potential therapeutic target for brain ischaemic stroke.

GPER expressed on microglia mediates the anti‐inflammatory effect of estradiol in ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur studies have suggested that GPER expressed on microglia mediated the anti‐inflammatory effect of estradiol after ischemic stroke. Our studies could potentially help to develop more specific drugs to manage inflammation postischemic stroke. GPER was highly expressed in activated microglia after ischemia and estradiol. The specific GPER agonist G1 could inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines including IL‐1β and TNF‐α, which the anti‐inflammatory effect of G1 and E2 were both abolished by the specific GPER antagonist G15.

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Protects Neurons from Ischemic Damage via Upregulation of Superoxide Dismutase 3
Abstract Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has been shown to protect oligodendrocytes from ischemia by upregulating endogenous antioxidants. The goal of this study was to determine whether LIF protects neurons during stroke by upregulating superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3). Animals were administered phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or 125 μg/kg LIF at 6, 24, and 48 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion or sham surgery. Neurons were isolated from rat pups on embryonic day 18 and used between 7 and 15 days in culture. Cells were treated with LIF and/or 10 μM Akt inhibitor IV with PBS and 0.1 % DMSO acting as veh...

Andrographolide stimulates p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2-heme oxygenase 1 signaling in primary cerebral endothelial cells for definite protection against ischemic stroke in rats.
In conclusion, andrographolide increased Nrf2-HO-1 expression through p38 MAPK regulation, confirming that it provides protection against MCAO-induced brain injury. These findings provide strong evidence that andrographolide could be a therapeutic agent for treating ischemic stroke or neurodegenerative diseases. PMID: 26746802 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

siRNA mediated down-regulation of Sprouty2/4 diminishes ischemic brain injury
In this study, siRNAs directed against Sprouty2 and -4 were stereotactically injected along with the vasoconstrictive peptide endothelin-1 to create cortical infarcts in the adult rat brain. A single injection of Sprouty2/4 siRNAs (25μM each) significantly decreased Spry2 and Spry4 mRNA levels two days later and diminished the size of the injury area in the subchronic phase following vasoconstriction. Reducing Spry2/4 genetically in mice is neuroprotective and stimulates injury-induced astrogliosis which limits neuronal cell death and lesion size. The present results are consistent with the established functions of negati...

Brain protection against ischemic stroke using choline as a new molecular bypass treatment.
CONCLUSION: Choline effectively attenuates brain ischemic injury in pMCAO rats, possibly by facilitating pial arteriogenesis and cerebral-cortical capillary angiogenesis via upregulating α7 nAChR levels and inducing the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF.

Increases in intracellular calcium perturb blood–brain barrier via protein kinase C-alpha and apoptosis
This study reveals successive increases in intracellular calcium levels and protein kinase C-α activity are key mechanisms in OGD±R-mediated impairment of BBB. Furthermore inhibition of protein kinase C-α may be therapeutic in restoring BBB function by reducing the rate of cytoskeletal reorganisation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Graphical abstract

Micro‐RNA‐30a regulates ischemia‐induced cell death by targeting heat shock protein HSPA5 in primary cultured cortical neurons and mouse brain after stroke
Micro‐RNAs (miRs) have emerged as key gene regulators in many diseases, including stroke. We recently reported that miR‐30a protects N2A cells against ischemic injury, in part through enhancing beclin 1‐mediated autophagy. The present study explores further the involvement of miR‐30a in ischemia‐induced apoptosis and its possible mechanisms in primary cortical neurons and stroked mouse brain. We demonstrate that miR‐30a level is significantly decreased in cortical neurons after 1‐hr oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD)/24‐hr reoxygenation. Overexpression of miR‐30a aggravated the OGD‐induced neuronal cell...
