Silent information regulator 1 ameliorates oxidative stress injury via PGC-1 α/PPARγ-Nrf2 pathway after ischemic stroke in rat
CONCLUSION: Overall, our data indicated that SIRT1 directly mediated the PGC-1α/PPARγ pathway in response to focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced neurological deficit, providing insights into the treatment of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.PMID:34774993 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainresbull.2021.11.001

Chinese Herbal Preparation SaiLuoTong Alleviates Brain Ischemia via Nrf2 Antioxidation Pathway –Dependent Cerebral Microvascular Protection
Stroke is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide. The Chinese herbal preparation SaiLuoTong (SLT) capsule showed outstanding therapeutic effects on stroke and its sequelae. The aim of this study was to further elucidate its therapeutic mechanism. We duplicated a permanent cerebral ischemia model in rats by MCAO and used SLT (33 and 16.5 mg/kg) to intervene. The results showed SLT dose dependently decreased infarction volumes, relieved neuron degeneration and loss, and ameliorated neurological functions, and the dose of 33 mg/kg had statistical significance (compared with the model group, p < 0.05); SLT of 33 ...

MiR-499a prevents astrocytes mediated inflammation in ischemic stroke by targeting PTEN
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our findings indicate miR-499a as an important factor to prevent inflammatory response and suggest miR-499a as a new molecule for the treatment of IS. The present study also demonstrated the relationship between miR-499a and PTEN, with PTEN as a downstream signaling mediator of miR-499a in the inflammatory response of astrocytes induced by IS.PMID:34632168 | PMC:PMC8488463 | DOI:10.1016/j.ncrna.2021.09.002

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...

NF ‑κB/IκBα signaling pathways are essential for resistance to heat stress‑induced ROS production in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells
Mol Med Rep. 2021 Nov;24(5):814. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12454. Epub 2021 Sep 24.ABSTRACTThe results of a previous study demonstrated that heat stress (HS) triggered oxidative stress, which in turn induced the apoptosis of epithelial cells. These results uncovered a novel mechanism underlying the activation of NF‑κB in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The present study aimed to further investigate the role of NF‑κB/IκBα signaling pathways in the inhibition of HS‑induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cytotoxicity in endothelial cells. The results of the present study demonstrated that H...

MLIF Modulates Microglia Polarization in Ischemic Stroke by Targeting eEF1A1
Monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF) is a heat-stable pentapeptide from Entamoeba histolytica. Our previous study found that MLIF protects against ischemic stroke in rats and mice and exerts a neuroprotection effect in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Microglia/macrophage polarization has been proven to be vital in the pathology of ischemic stroke. Nevertheless, whether MLIF is able to modulate microglia/macrophage polarization remains unclear. We performed middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) on C57BL/6J male mice and induced cultured BV2 microglia by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), respectively. Immunfluor...

Hypothermia Promotes Mitochondrial Elongation In Cardiac Cells Via Inhibition Of Drp1
In conclusion hypothermia promoted elongation of cardiac mitochondria via reduced pDrp1S616 abundance which was also associated with suppression of cellular oxygen consumption. Silencing of TRPV1 in H9c2 cardiomyocytes reproduced the morphological and respirometric phenotype of hypothermia. This report demonstrates a novel mechanism of cold-induced inhibition of mitochondrial fission.PMID:34331901 | DOI:10.1016/j.cryobiol.2021.07.013

Tetramethylpyrazine Preserves the Integrity of Blood-Brain Barrier Associated With Upregulation of MCPIP1 in a Murine Model of Focal Ischemic Stroke
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), a prominent ingredient of Chinese herb Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, is known to suppress neuroinflammation and protect blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. We investigated whether monocyte chemotactic protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1, also known as Regnase-1), a newly identified zinc-finger protein, plays a role in TMP-mediated anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to focal cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 h, followed by reperfusion for 24 h. TMP (25 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally 12Â...
