Evidence that NLRC4 Inflammasome Mediates Apoptotic and Pyroptotic Microglial Death Following Ischemic Stroke
This study has comprehensively investigated the expression and activation of NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes in isolates of microglial cells subjected to simulated ischemic conditions and in the brain following ischemic stroke. Immunoblot analysis from culture media indicated microglial cells release inflammasome components and inflammasome activation-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines following ischemic conditions. In addition, a functional role for NLRC4 inflammasomes was determined using siRNA knockdown of NLRC4 and pharmacological inhibitors of caspase-1 and -8 to target apoptotic and pyroptotic cell death...

Salidroside alleviates Ischemic Brain Injury in Mice with Ischemic Stroke through regulating BDNK mediated PI3K/Akt Pathway.
In this study, We preformed MCAO model in C57BL/6J wild-type (BDNK+/+) and BDNK knockout (BDNF-/-) mice respectively, and investigated the neuroprotective effect of Salidroside (Sal) and its underlying mechanisms. The results showed that Sal reversed brain infarct size, reduced cerebral edema, decreased the neurological deficit score and diminished TUNEL positive cells significantly. However, BDNK deficiency inhibited the neuroprotective effect of Sal. In addition, Sal increased cell viability, ameliorated neuron cell injury by decreasing LDH activity, and inhibited cell apoptotic rate. Sal suppressed apoptotic signaling v...

LanCL1 attenuates ischemia-induced oxidative stress by Sirt3-mediated preservation of mitochondrial function.
Abstract Lanthionine synthetase C-like protein 1 (LanCL1) is homologous to prokaryotic lanthionine cyclases, and has been shown to have novel functions in neuronal redox homeostasis. A recent study showed that LanCL1 expression was developmental and activity-dependent regulated, and LanCL1 transgene protected neurons against oxidative stress. In the present study, the potential protective effects of LanCL1 against ischemia was investigated in an in vitro model mimicked by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in neuronal HT22 cells. We found that OGD exposure induced a temporal increase and persistent decreases in ...

Inhibition of immunoproteasome promotes angiogenesis via enhancing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α abundance in rats following focal cerebral ischaemia
In this study, we identified that inhibition of immunoproteasome LMP2 was able to enhance angiogenesis and facilitate neurological functional recovery in rats after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. In vitro, oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) significantly enhanced the expression of immunoproteasome LMP2 and proteasome activities in primary culture astrocytes, but these beneficial effects were abolished by knockdown of LMP2 with siRNA transfection. Along with this, protein abundance of HIF-1α was significantly increased by inhibition LMP2 in vivo and in vitro and was associated with angiogenesis and ce...

CK2 inhibition confers functional protection to young and aging axons against ischemia by differentially regulating the CDK5 and AKT signaling pathways.
Abstract White matter (WM) is injured in most strokes, which contributes to functional deficits during recovery. Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a protein kinase that is expressed in brain, including WM. To assess the impact of CK2 inhibition on axon recovery following oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD), mouse optic nerves (MONs), which are pure WM tracts, were subjected to OGD with or without the selective CK2 inhibitor CX-4945. CX-4945 application preserved axon function during OGD and promoted axon function recovery when applied before or after OGD. This protective effect of CK2 inhibition correlated with preservation o...

Osteopontin attenuates inflammation via JAK2/STAT1 pathway in hyperglycemic rats after intracerebral hemorrhage.
In conclusion, rOPN attenuated ICH-induced brain inflammation in hyperglycemic rats, leading to attenuation of brain edema and improving neurological functions. Effects of rOPN were mediated at least partly by integrin-β1 induced inhibition of JAK2/STAT1 pathway. PMID: 29885817 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Functional importance of the TGF- β1/Smad3 signaling pathway in oxygen-glucose-deprived (OGD) microglia and rats with cerebral ischemia.
Functional importance of the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway in oxygen-glucose-deprived (OGD) microglia and rats with cerebral ischemia. Int J Biol Macromol. 2018 Apr 25;: Authors: Yu Y, Li J, Zhou H, Xiong Y, Wen Y, Li H Abstract We investigated the transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-β1)/Smad3 signaling pathway in rats with cerebral ischemia and oxygen-glucose-deprived (OGD) microglia. Cerebral ischemia is a clinical condition that occurs when insufficient blood flows to the brain to maintain metabolic activity. TGF-β1 is a well-known functional peptide that regulates cell differentiation, migratio...

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...

Adenoviruses-mediated RNA interference targeting cytosolic phospholipase A2 α attenuates focal ischemic brain damage in mice.
Adenoviruses-mediated RNA interference targeting cytosolic phospholipase A2α attenuates focal ischemic brain damage in mice. Mol Med Rep. 2018 Feb 15;: Authors: Wu H, Liu H, Zuo F, Zhang L Abstract Cerebral ischemia injury is a clinical, frequently occurring disease, which causes a heavy burden on society and families. It has been demonstrated that cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) is significant in neurological injury caused by ischemic brain injury, and inhibition of cPLA2α may reduce stroke injury. In the present study, the role of cPLA2α was investigated in a mouse model of middle cerebral...
