The Association Between Serum Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor and Delayed Cerebral Ischemia After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Neurotox Res 2019; 37:397-405. [PMID: 31267487 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-019-00072-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2019] [Revised: 05/27/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Inflammatory processes have long been implicated in the development of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been implicated in inflammation. The aim of this study was to assess whether serum levels of MIF at admission helps to predict which patients with aSAH would subsequently develop DCI. All patients with first-ever aSAH admitted between 2016 and 2017 were considered for inclusion in this prospective study. Primary study outcome was development of DCI at discharge. Serum levels of MIF, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were tested at admission. The relation of serum levels of MIF at admission with DCI was assessed by the logistic regression models. In this study, 201 patients were included. A correlation between Hunt and Hess score and serum levels of MIF was found (r = 0.340; P < 0.001). Fifty-two of the 201 aSAH (25.9%) were defined as DCI, and the obtained MIF level in those patients was higher than in those patients without DCI [26.4 (IQR, 22.6-32.4) ng/ml vs. 20.4 (16.4-24.6) ng/ml; P < 0.001). As a continuous variable, MIF was associated with the risk of DCI. When serum level of MIF was elevated by each 1 ng/ml, the unadjusted risk of DCI was increased by 18% (OR = 1.18 [1.12-1.25], P < 0.001), while the adjusted risk was increased by 10% (1.10 [1.03-1.19], P = 0.001). With the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.780 (95% CI, 0.710-0.849), the MIF showed a great discriminatory ability for DCI than CRP (0.665, 0.582-0.748; P < 0.001) and IL-6 (0.721, 0.642-0.799; P = 0.001). Interestingly, the combined model (MIF/IL-6/CRP) improved the MIF to predict DCI (AUC of the combined model: 0.811; 95% CI, 0.751-0.871; P = 0.024). Furthermore, inclusion of MIF in the existing risk factors for the prediction of DCI enhanced the index and net reclassification improvement (NRI) (P < 0.001) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) (P = 0.005) values, confirming the effective reclassification and discrimination. The data showed that elevated MIF serum level accurately identifies patients at highest risk for developing DCI following aSAH.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) has been reported to promote phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the PDGFR-β/IRF9/SIRT-1/NF-κB pathway in VSMC phenotypic transformation after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH was induced using the endovascular perforation model in Sprague-Dawley rats. PDGFR-β small interfering RNA (siRNA) and IRF9 siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly 48 h before SAH. SIRT1 activator (resveratrol) and inhibitor (EX527) were administered intraperitoneally 1 h after SAH induction. Twenty-four hours after SAH, the VSMC contractile phenotype marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) decreased, whereas the VSMC synthetic phenotype marker embryonic smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (Smemb) increased. Both PDGFR-β siRNA and IRF9 siRNA attenuated the induction of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and enhanced the expression of α-SMA. The SIRT1 activator (resveratrol) preserved VSMC contractile phenotype, significantly alleviated neurological dysfunction, and reduced brain edema. However, these beneficial effects of PDGFR-β siRNA, IRF9 siRNA and resveratrol were abolished by the SIRT1 inhibitor (EX527). This study shows that PDGFR-β/IRF9/SIRT-1/NF-κB signaling played a role in the VSMC phenotypic transformation after SAH. Inhibition of this signaling cascade preserved the contractile phenotype of VSMCs, thereby improving neurological outcomes following SAH.

Abstract
Activation of microglia cells play critical role in neuroinflammation after brain injury. Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) possess immunoregulation effect similar with ADSC. We hypothesized that ADSC derived exosomes (ADSC-exosomes) could inhibit the activation of microglia cells and prevent neuroinflammation. We found that ADSC-exosomes could inhibit the activation of microglia cells by suppressing NF-kB and MAPK pathway. Production of inflammatory factors in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia cells decreased significantly when pretreated with ADSC-exosomes. Furthermore, ADSC-exosomes could decrease the cytotoxicity of activated microglia. These results revealed that ADSC-exosomes might be a promising strategy for the therapy of neural injury.

Abstract
The development of neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury involves neuroimmune-glial interactions in the spinal cord. However, whether the development of neuropathic pain depends on the infiltration of peripheral immune cells, such as monocytes, into the spinal cord parenchyma after peripheral nerve damage remains unclear. Here, we used a combination of different techniques such as transgenic reporter mouse (Cx3cr1GFP/+ and Ccr2RFP/+ mice), bone marrow chimeric mice, and parabiosis to investigate this issue in spared nerve injury (SNI) model. Herein, we provided robust evidence that, although microglial cells are activated/proliferate at the dorsal horn of the spinal cord after SNI, peripheral hematopoietic cells (including monocytes) are not able to infiltrate into the spinal cord parenchyma. Furthermore, there was no evidence of CCR2 expression in intrinsic cells of the spinal cord. However, microglial cells activation/proliferation in the spinal cord and mechanical allodynia after SNI were reduced in Ccr2-deficient mice. These results suggest that blood-circulating leukocytes cells are not able to infiltrate the spinal cord parenchyma after distal peripheral nerve injury. Nevertheless, they indicate that CCR2-expressing cells might be indirectly regulating microglia activation/proliferation in the spinal cord after SNI. In conclusion, our study supports that CCR2 inhibition could be explored as an interventional approach to reduce microglia activation and consequently neuropathic pain development after peripheral nerve injury.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a serious complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Matricellular protein periostin (POSTN) has been found to be upregulated and linked with early brain injury after experimental SAH. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between plasma POSTN levels and various clinical factors including serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, in 109 consecutive SAH patients whose POSTN levels were measured at days 1-12 after aneurysmal obliteration. DCI developed in 16 patients associated with higher incidence of angiographic vasospasm, cerebral infarction, and 90-day worse outcomes. POSTN levels peaked at days 4-6 before DCI development. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage was associated with reduced POSTN levels, but did not influence CRP levels. There was no correlation between POSTN levels and other treatments or CRP levels. To predict DCI development, receiver-operating characteristic curves indicated that the most reasonable cutoff POSTN levels were obtained at days 1-3 in patients without CSF drainage (80.5 ng/ml; specificity, 77.6%; sensitivity, 85.7%). Multivariate analyses using variables obtained by day 3 revealed that POSTN level was an independent predictor of DCI. POSTN levels over the cutoff value were associated with higher incidence of DCI, but not angiographic vasospasm. This study shows for the first time that CSF drainage may reduce plasma POSTN levels, and that POSTN levels may increase prior to the development of DCI with and without vasospasm irrespective of systemic inflammatory reactions in clinical settings. These findings suggest POSTN as a new therapeutic molecular target against post-SAH DCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral vasospasm remains a serious problem affecting morbidity and mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during neurosurgery. We aimed to demonstrate the role of the transient receptor potential channel and other channels for Ca2+ in the etiology of cerebral vasospasm using 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB) and the effective dose range of an unstudied pharmacological agent, which can limit vasospasm. METHODS We performed an experimental study using 32 Sprague-Dawley rats divided into 4 groups: sham group (n = 8), SAH group (n = 8), 2-APB group (SAH rats intraperitoneally administered with 0.5 mg/kg 2-APB; n = 8), and 2-APB-2 group (SAH rats intraperitoneally administered with 2 mg/kg 2-APB; n = 8). The rats were sacrificed after 24 hours, and superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β in the brain tissue and serum were measured. The histopathological investigation of brain tissue included measurement of the luminal diameter and wall thickness of the basilar artery (BA), and apoptotic cells in the hippocampus were counted after caspase staining. RESULTS Autologous arterial blood injection into the cisterna magna caused vasospasm in rats. 2-APB treatment increased the BA wall thickness and reduced the BA lumen diameter, inducing significant vascular changes. 2-APB also alleviated cell apoptosis at 24 hours after SAH. CONCLUSION In experimental SAH in rats, 2-APB treatment increased the BA wall thickness and reduced the BA lumen diameter, inducing significant vascular changes. 2-APB also alleviated cell apoptosis at 24 hours after SAH.

Abstract
Sodium/hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) plays an essential role in maintaining intracellular pH (pHi) homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS) under physiological conditions, and it is also associated with neuronal death and intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ overload induced by cerebral ischemia. However, its roles and underlying mechanisms in early brain injury (EBI) induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have not been fully explored. In this research, a SAH model in adult male rat was established through injecting autologous arterial blood into prechiasmatic cistern. Meanwhile, primary cultured cortical neurons of rat treated with 5 μM oxygen hemoglobin (OxyHb) for 24 h were applied to mimic SAH in vitro. We find that the protein levels of NHE1 are significantly increased in brain tissues of rats after SAH. Downregulation of NHE1 by HOE642 (a specific chemical inhibitor of NHE1) and genetic-knockdown can effectively alleviate behavioral and cognitive dysfunction, brain edema, blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury, inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress, neurondegeneration, and neuronal apoptosis, all of which are involved in EBI following SAH. However, upregulation of NHE1 by genetic-overexpression can produce opposite effects. Additionally, inhibiting NHE1 significantly attenuates OxyHb-induced neuronal apoptosis in vitro and reduces interaction of NHE1 and CHP1 both in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, we can conclude that NHE1 participates in EBI induced by SAH through mediating inflammation, oxidative stress, behavioral and cognitive dysfunction, BBB injury, brain edema, and promoting neuronal degeneration and apoptosis.

Abstract
The immune system plays an important role under both physiological and pathological conditions. Immune surveillance as well as defense and healing processes are crucial for the organism, but the immune system has a natural tendency to act aggressively when excessively stimulated. We may assume that the immune system is not designed to deal with severe conditions, such as polytrauma or severe stroke, because these are not compatible with life in the wilderness and evolution has no chance to act in such cases. These conditions are associated with exaggerated/deregulated inflammatory response, which may cause more damage than initial pathology. In this article, we would like to sketch a basic concept of the immune system-brain interactions from the evolutionary point of view and to discuss some implications related to stroke.

Abstract
Neurovascular, autoimmune, and traumatic injuries of the central nervous system (CNS) all have in common an initial acute inflammatory response mediated by influx across the blood-brain barrier of activated mononuclear cells followed by chronic and often progressive disability. Although some anti-inflammatory therapies can reduce cellular infiltration into the initial lesions, there are essentially no effective treatments for the progressive phase. We here review the successful treatment of animal models for four separate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative CNS conditions using a single partial MHC class II construct called DRa1-hMOG-35-55 or its newest iteration, DRa1(L50Q)-hMOG-35-55 (DRhQ) that can be administered without a need for class II tissue type matching due to the conserved DRα1 moiety of the drug. These constructs antagonize the cognate TCR and bind with high affinity to their cell-bound CD74 receptor on macrophages and dendritic cells, thereby competitively inhibiting downstream signaling and pro-inflammatory effects of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its homolog, d-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT=MIF-2) that bind to identical residues of CD74 leading to progressive disease. These effects suggest the existence of a common pathogenic mechanism involving a chemokine-driven influx of activated monocytes into the CNS tissue that can be reversed by parenteral injection of the DRa1-MOG-35-55 constructs that also induce anti-inflammatory macrophages and microglia within the CNS. Due to their ability to block this common pathway, these novel drugs appear to be prime candidates for therapy of a wide range of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative CNS conditions.

Abstract
CD200 has been reported to be neuroprotective in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the potential protective effects of CD200 in germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) have not been investigated. We examined the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of CD200 after GMH. A total of 167 seven-day-old rat pups were used. The time-dependent effect of GMH on the levels of CD200 and CD200 Receptor 1 (CD200R1) was evaluated by western blot. CD200R1 was localized by immunohistochemistry. The short-term (24 h) and long-term (28 days) outcomes were evaluated after CD200 fusion protein (CD200Fc) treatment by neurobehavioral assessment. CD200 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and downstream of tyrosine kinase 1 (Dok1) siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly. Western blot was employed to study the mechanisms of CD200 and CD200R1. GMH induced significant developmental delay and caused impairment in both cognitive and motor functions in rat pups. CD200Fc ameliorated GMH-induced damage. CD200Fc increased expression of Dok1 and decreased IL-1beta and TNF-alpha levels. CD200R1 siRNA and Dok1 siRNA abolished the beneficial effects of CD200Fc, as demonstrated by enhanced expression levels of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. CD200Fc inhibited GMH-induced inflammation and this effect may be mediated by CD200R1/Dok1 pathway. Thus, CD200Fc may serve as a potential treatment to ameliorate brain injury for GMH patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autophagy is an extensive self-degradation process for the disposition of cytosolic aggregated or misfolded proteins and defective organelles which executes the functions of pro-survival and pro-death to maintain cellular homeostasis. The pathway plays essential roles in several neurological disorders. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with high risk of neurological deficit and high mortality. Early brain injury (EBI) plays a role in the poor clinical course and outcome after SAH. Recent studies have paid attention on the role of the autophagy pathway in the development of EBI after SAH. We aim to update the multifaceted roles of autophagy pathway in the pathogenesis of SAH, especially in the phase of EBI. METHODS We reviewed early researches related to autophagy and SAH. The following three aspects of contents will be mainly discussed: the process of the autophagy pathway, the role of the autophagy in SAH and the interaction between organelle dysfunction and autophagy pathway after SAH. RESULTS Accumulating evidence shows an increased autophagy reaction in response to early stages of SAH. However, others suggest inadequate or excessive autophagy activation can result in cell injury and death. In addition to autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis can occur in neurons simultaneously after SAH, leading to mixed features of cell death morphologies. And it is also known that there is extensive crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis pathway. Subcellular organelles of neural cells generally participate in the formation and functional parts of autophagy process. CONCLUSION Autophagy plays an important role in the SAH-induced brain injury. A better understanding of the interrelationship among autophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis might provide us better therapeutic targets for the treatment of SAH.

Abstract
Hypothalamic inflammation is a key component of acute sickness behavior and cachexia, yet mechanisms of inflammatory signaling in the central nervous system remain unclear. Previous work from our lab and others showed that while MyD88 is an important inflammatory signaling pathway for sickness behavior, MyD88 knockout (MyD88KO) mice still experience sickness behavior after inflammatory stimuli challenge. We found that after systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, MyD88KO mice showed elevated expression of several cytokine and chemokine genes in the hypothalamus. We therefore assessed the role of an additional inflammatory signaling pathway, TRIF, in acute inflammation (LPS challenge) and in a chronic inflammatory state (cancer cachexia). TRIFKO mice resisted anorexia and weight loss after peripheral (intraperitoneal, IP) or central (intracerebroventricular, ICV) LPS challenge and in a model of pancreatic cancer cachexia. Compared to WT mice, TRIFKO mice showed attenuated upregulation of Il6, Ccl2, Ccl5, Cxcl1, Cxcl2, and Cxcl10 in the hypothalamus after IP LPS treatment, as well as attenuated microglial activation and neutrophil infiltration into the brain after ICV LPS treatment. Lastly, we found that TRIF was required for Ccl2 upregulation in the hypothalamus and induction of the catabolic genes, Mafbx, Murf1, and Foxo1 in gastrocnemius during pancreatic cancer. In summary, our results show that TRIF is an important inflammatory signaling mediator of sickness behavior and cachexia and presents a novel therapeutic target for these conditions.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) by a rupture of cerebral aneurysms remains the most devastating cerebrovascular disease. Early brain injury (EBI) is increasingly recognized to be the primary determinant for poor outcomes, and also considered to cause delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after SAH. Both clinical and experimental literatures emphasize the impact of global cerebral edema in EBI as negative prognostic and direct pathological factors. The nature of the global cerebral edema is a mixture of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema, both of which may be caused by post-SAH induction of tenascin-C (TNC) that is an inducible, non-structural, secreted and multifunctional matricellular protein. Experimental SAH induces TNC in brain parenchyma in rats and mice. TNC knockout suppressed EBI in terms of brain edema, blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, associated with the inhibition of post-SAH activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappa B in mice. In a clinical setting, more severe SAH increases more TNC in cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood, which could be a surrogate marker of EBI and predict DCI development and outcomes. In addition, cilostazol, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type III that is a clinically available anti-platelet agent and is known to suppress TNC induction, dose-dependently inhibited delayed cerebral infarction and improved outcomes in a pilot clinical study. Thus, further studies may facilitate application of TNC as biomarkers for non-invasive diagnosis or assessment of EBI and DCI, and lead to development of a molecular target drug against TNC, contributing to the improvement of post-SAH outcomes.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a neurologically destructive stroke in which early brain injury (EBI) plays a pivotal role in poor patient outcomes. Expanding upon our previous work, multiple techniques and methods were used in this preclinical study to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) against EBI after SAH in murine apolipoprotein E gene-knockout mice (Apoe-/-, KO) and wild-type mice (WT) on a C57BL/6J background. We reported that Apoe deficiency resulted in a more extensive EBI at 48 h after SAH in mice demonstrated by MRI scanning and immunohistochemical staining and exhibited more extensive white matter injury and neuronal apoptosis than WT mice. These changes were associated with an increase in NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) expression, an important regulator of both oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis revealed that NOX2 was abundantly expressed in activated M1 microglia. The JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, an upstream regulator of NOX2, was increased in WT mice and activated to an even greater extent in Apoe-/- mice; whereas, the JAK2-specific inhibitor, AG490, reduced NOX2 expression, oxidative stress, and inflammation in Apoe-deficient mice. Also, apoE-mimetic peptide COG1410 suppressed the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and significantly reduced M1 microglia activation with subsequent attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation after SAH. Taken together, apoE and apoE-mimetic peptide have whole-brain protective effects that may reduce EBI after SAH via M1 microglial quiescence through the attenuation of the JAK2/STAT3/NOX2 signaling pathway axis.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, microglial cells have been regarded as the main executor of inflammation after acute and chronic central nervous system (CNS) disorders, responding rapidly to exogenous stimuli during acute trauma or infections, or signals released by cells undergoing cell death during conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Barriers of the nervous system, and in particular the blood-brain barrier (BBB), play a key role in the normal physiological and cognitive functions of the brain. Being at the interface between the central and peripheral compartment, the BBB is regarded as a sensor of homeostasis, and any disruption within the brain or the systemic compartment triggers BBB dysfunction and neuroinflammation, both contributing to the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease. This involves a dynamic response mediated by all components of the neurovascular unit (NVU), and ongoing research suggests that BBB-microglia interaction is critical to dictate the microglial response to NVU injury. The present review aims to give an up-to-date account of the emerging critical role of BBB-microglia interactions during neuroinflammation, and how these could be targeted for the therapeutic treatment of major central inflammatory disease.

Abstract
The main objective was to evaluate, whether the subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-associated early inflammatory response has focal or global character, i.e., whether areas distant to hematoma may be affected by an early inflammatory response. The second objective was to evaluate the association of anesthesia recovery time for basic reflexes/neurological functions with severity of SAH. SAH was induced in rats using an endovascular perforation model. Anesthesia recovery time was evaluated for pain reaction recovery time (spinal level), spontaneous ventilation recovery time (brain stem level), and consciousness recovery time (neocortical level). mRNA expressions of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in areas adjacent and distant to hematoma were evaluated between 2 and 8 h after SAH. Serum levels of TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 were assessed at 4 and 8 h after SAH. Anesthesia recovery time of all selected parameters was associated with severity of SAH. The consciousness recovery time test had the best predictive value, while the spontaneous ventilation recovery time test was able to bring information in the shortest time. The mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in severe SAH groups in both adjacent and distant areas. The inflammatory response in mild/moderate SAH groups was less strong, peaking at 4 h after SAH. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were ambiguous. Anesthesia recovery time may be useful for bleeding severity prediction in the SAH model; however, further validation is needed. Severe subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with the strong early inflammatory response, which has a global character, while mild subarachnoid hemorrhage is accompanied by a weaker inflammation.

Abstract
Microglia are the innate sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS) and are responsible for the homeostasis and immune defense of the CNS. Under the influence of the local environment and cell-cell interaction, microglia exhibit a multidimensional and context-dependent phenotypes that can be cytotoxic and neuroprotective. Recent studies suggest that microglia express multitudinous types of lectins, including galectins, Siglecs, mannose-binding lectins (MBLs) and other glycan binding proteins. Because most studies that examine lectins focus on the peripheral system, the functions of lectins have not been critically investigated in the CNS. In addition, the types of brain cells that contribute to the altered levels of lectins present in diseases are often unclear. In this review, we will discuss how galectins, Siglecs, selectins and MBLs contribute to the dynamic functions of microglia. The interacting ligands of these lectins are complex glycoconjugates, which consist of glycoproteins and glycolipids that are expressed on microglia or surrounding cells. The current understanding of the heterogeneity and functions of glycans in the brain is limited. Galectins are a group of pleotropic proteins that recognize both β-galactoside-containing glycans and non- β-galactoside-containing proteins. The function and regulation of galectins have been implicated in immunomodulation, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, phagocytosis and oxidative bursts. Most Siglecs are expressed at a low level on the plasma membrane and bind to sialic acid residues for immunosurveillance and cell-cell communication. Siglecs are classified based on their inhibitory and activatory downstream signaling properties. Inhibitory Siglecs negatively regulate microglia activation upon recognizing the intact sialic acid patterns and vice versa. MBLs are expressed upon infection in cytoplasm and can be secreted in order to recognize molecules containing terminal mannose as an innate immune defense machinery. Most importantly, multiple studies have reported dysregulation of lectins in neurological disorders. Here, we reviewed recent studies on microglial lectins and their functions in CNS health and disease, and suggest that these lectin families are novel, potent therapeutic targets for neurological diseases.

Interleukin 6-Mediated Endothelial Barrier Disturbances Can Be Attenuated by Blockade of the IL6 Receptor Expressed in Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells. Transl Stroke Res 2018; 9:631-642. [PMID: 29429002 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-018-0614-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2017] [Revised: 01/29/2018] [Accepted: 02/01/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB) by dysregulation of cellular junctions is a hallmark of many cerebrovascular disorders due to the pro-inflammatory cytokines action. Interleukin 6 (IL6) is implicated in inflammatory processes and in secondary brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but its role in the maintenance of cerebral endothelium still requires a precise elucidation. Although IL6 has been shown to exert pro-inflammatory action on brain microvascular endothelial cells (ECs), the expression of one of the IL6 receptors, the IL6R is controversially discussed. In attempt to reach more clarity in this issue, we present here an evident baseline expression of the IL6R in BBB endothelium in vivo and in an in vitro model of the BBB, the cEND cell line. A significantly increased expression of IL6R and its ligand was observed in BBB capillaries 2 days after experimental SAH in mice. In vitro, we saw IL6 administration resulting in an intracellular and extracellular elevation of IL6 protein, which was accompanied by a reduced expression of tight and adherens junctions, claudin-5, occludin, and vascular-endothelial (VE-) cadherin. By functional assays, we could demonstrate IL6-incubated brain ECs to lose their endothelial integrity that can be attenuated by inhibiting the IL6R. Blockade of the IL6R by a neutralizing antibody has reconstituted the intercellular junction expression to the control level and caused a restoration of the transendothelial electrical resistance of the cEND cell monolayer. Our findings add depth to the current understanding of the involvement of the endothelial IL6R in the loss of EC integrity implicating potential therapy options.

Abstract
Stroke represents devastating pathology which is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Initial damage caused directly by the onset of stroke, primary injury, may be eclipsed by secondary injury which may have a much more devastating effect on the brain. Primary injury is predominantly associated with necrotic cell death due to fatal insufficiency of oxygen and glucose. Secondary injury may on the contrary, lead apoptotic cell death due to structural damage which is not compatible with cellular functions or which may even represent the danger of malign transformation. The immune system is responsible for surveillance, defense and healing processes and the immune system plays a major role in triggering programmed cell death. Severe pathologies, such as stroke, are often associated with deregulation of the immune system, resulting in aggravation of secondary brain injury. The goal of this article is to overview the current knowledge about the role of immune system in the pathophysiology of stroke with respect to programmed neuronal cell death as well as to discuss current therapeutic strategies targeting inflammation after stroke.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a life-threatening disease characterized by a sudden rupture of cerebral blood vessels, and cell death is widely believed to occur after exposure to blood metabolites or subsequently damaged cells. Recently, programmed cell death, such as apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, has been demonstrated to play crucial roles in the pathophysiology of stroke. However, the detailed mechanisms of these novel kinds of cell death are still unclear. The P2X7 receptor, previously known for its cytotoxic activity, is an ATP-gated, nonselective cation channel that belongs to the family of ionotropic P2X receptors. Evolving evidence indicates that the P2X7 receptor plays a pivotal role in central nervous system pathology; genetic deletion and pharmacological blockade of the P2X7 receptor provide neuroprotection in various neurological disorders, including intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The P2X7 receptor may regulate programmed cell death via (I) exocytosis of secretory lysosomes, (II) exocytosis of autophagosomes or autophagolysosomes during formation of the initial autophagic isolation membrane or omegasome, and (III) direct release of cytosolic IL-1β secondary to regulated cell death by pyroptosis or necroptosis. In this review, we present an overview of P2X7 receptor- associated programmed cell death for further understanding of hemorrhagic stroke pathophysiology, as well as potential therapeutic targets for its treatment.

Abstract
Germinal matrix hemorrhage is induced by stereotaxic injection of collagenase into the germinal matrix of P7 Sprague-Dawley rats. Hemoglobin assay, western blot, immunofluorescence and neurobehavioral tests were used to test the effects of BLVRA on hematoma resolution and anti-inflammatory response. We showed that BLVRA triggered a signaling cascade that ameliorated post-hemorrhagic neurological deficits in both short-term and long-term neurobehavioral tests in a GMH rat model. Specifically, BLVRA inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression by translocating to the nucleus in an endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS)/nitric oxide (NO)-dependent manner. BLVRA also induced the upregulation of CD36 scavenger receptor level in microglia/microphages, of which the prominent role is to enhance hematoma resolution. However, the beneficial effects of BLVRA were abolished with the knockdown of eNOS, indicating that the eNOS/NO system is an important downstream factor of BLVRA. Our results demonstrate a mechanism of BLVRA modulating hematoma resolution and suppressing inflammation through eNOS/NO/TLR4 pathway in the GMH rat model.

The Quantitative and Functional Changes of Postoperative Peripheral Blood Immune Cell Subsets Relate to Prognosis of Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Preliminary Study. World Neurosurg 2017; 108:206-215. [PMID: 28866066 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.08.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Revised: 08/10/2017] [Accepted: 08/12/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that the preoperative (PRE) and postoperative (POST) immune system alteration triggered by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and surgical treatment itself may affect patients' prognosis and contribute to POST complications. The mechanisms may be attributed to immune suppression-triggered infection or immune overreaction-triggered aseptic inflammation. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes in peripheral immune cell subsets as well as the alterations of inflammatory cytokines in patients with aneurysmal SAH who received craniotomy and clipping surgery. In addition, we studied the association of those changes with POST complications and clinical prognosis. METHODS We investigated 27 patients who received craniotomy and clipping surgery for aneurysmal SAH. The operations were all performed within 24 hours after the occurrence of aneurysm rupture. Detailed immune monitoring (peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphocyte subsets and inflammatory cytokines) was performed on PRE (on admission), day 1, day 3, and day 6 after operation. RESULTS Our data showed that the percentage of CD3+, CD8+, natural killer T (NKT), CD4+, and regulatory T (Treg) cells significantly decreased and the level of interleukin 4 (IL-4), interferon γ, and IL-2 significantly increased 1 day after surgery compared with the data in PRE. On the contrary, natural killer (NK), NK group 2 (NKG2D), and B cells increased and the level of IL-10 in plasma decreased. In study of the relationship between POST fever and the change in immune cell subgroups, the fever group had a lower percentage of CD3+, CD4+, NKT, Tregs, and B cells on day 1, day 3, and day 6 after surgery compared with the patients who did not have fever, whereas the CD8+, NK, and NKG2D subsets showed the opposite trend. Furthermore, we analyzed the association between immune profile changes and the prognosis of those patients. The patients were divided into those with an unfavorable prognosis (n = 6) and those with a favorable prognosis (n = 21) according to Glasgow Outcome Scale score and postoperation (POST) coma. Our results showed that except for B cells, patients with a favorable prognosis had a relatively higher percentage of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, NK, NKT, NKG2D, and Treg cells compared with the unfavorable prognosis group from PRE to day 6 POST. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that patients with aneurysmal SAH undergoing craniotomy and clipping surgery had a profound transient deterioration in immune function. In addition, the changes in immune cell subgroups had a strong association with POST fever. The changes in immune cell subgroups were also directly associated with clinical prognosis of the patients. These association findings might be attributable to a better biomarker to predict patient diagnosis.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy is a promising potential therapeutic strategy to treat cerebral ischemia in preclinical and clinical trials. Currently proposed treatments for stroke employing stem cells include the replacement of lost neurons and integration into the existing host circuitry, the release of growth factors to support and promote endogenous repair processes, and the secretion of extracellular vesicles containing proteins, noncoding RNA, or DNA to regulate gene expression in recipient cells and achieve immunomodulation. Progress has been made to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying stem cell therapy and the homing, migration, distribution, and differentiation of transplanted stem cells in vivo using various imaging modalities. Noninvasive and safe tracer agents with high sensitivity and image resolution must be combined with long-term monitoring using imaging technology to determine the optimal therapy for stroke in terms of administration route, dosage, and timing. This review discusses potential therapeutic mechanisms of stem cell transplantation for the treatment of stroke and the limitations of current therapies. Methods to label transplanted cells and existing imaging systems for stem cell labeling and in vivo tracking will also be discussed.

Abstract
Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) could very probably trigger white matter injury in patients. Through the continuous study of white matter injury after hypertensive ICH, we achieve a more profound understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of its occurrence and development. At the same time, we found a series of drugs and treatment methods for the white matter repair. In the current reality, the research paradigm of white matter injury after hypertensive ICH is relatively obsolete or incomplete, and there are still lots of deficiencies in the research. In the face of the profound changes of stroke research perspective, we believe that the combination of the lenticulostriate artery, nerve nuclei of the hypothalamus-thalamus-basal ganglia, and the white matter fibers located within the capsula interna will be beneficial to the research of white matter injury and repair. This paper has classified and analyzed the study of white matter injury and repair after hypertensive ICH and also rethought the shortcomings of the current research. We hope that it could help researchers further explore and study white matter injury and repair after hypertensive ICH.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are approximately three times higher in patients with neurological deficits than in patients without neurological deficits. MicroRNA-126 (MiR-126) facilitates vascular remodeling and decreases fibrosis and is emerging as an important factor in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and cerebral stroke. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that decreased miR-126 after ischemic stroke may play an important role in regulating cardiac function. Wild-type (WT), specific conditional-knockout endothelial cell miR-126 (miR-126EC-/-), and miR-126 knockout control (miR-126fl/fl) mice were subjected to distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAo) (n = 10/group). Cardiac hemodynamics and function were measured using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography. Mice were sacrificed at 28 days after dMCAo. WT mice subjected to stroke exhibited significantly decreased cardiac ejection fraction and increased myocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis as well as increased heart inflammation, infiltrating macrophages, and oxidative stress compared to non-stroke animals. Stroke significantly decreased serum and heart miR-126 expression and increased miR-126 target genes, vascular cell adhesion protein-1, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 gene, and protein expression in the heart compared to non-stroke mice. MiR-126EC-/- mice exhibited significantly decreased cardiac function and increased cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammatory factor expression after stroke compared to miR-126fl/fl stroke mice. Exosomes derived from endothelial cells of miR-126EC-/- (miR-126EC-/-EC-Exo) mice exhibited significantly decreased miR-126 expression than exosomes derived from miR-126fl/fl (miR-126fl/fl-EC-Exo) mice. Treatment of cardiomyocytes subjected to oxygen glucose deprivation with miR-126fl/fl-EC-Exo exhibited significantly decreased hypertrophy than with miR-126EC-/-EC-Exo treatment. Ischemic stroke directly induces cardiac dysfunction. Decreasing miR-126 expression may contribute to cardiac dysfunction after stroke in mice.

DRα1-MOG-35-55 Reduces Permanent Ischemic Brain Injury. Transl Stroke Res 2016; 8:284-293.

Abstract
Stroke induces a catastrophic immune response that involves the global activation of peripheral leukocytes, especially T cells. The human leukocyte antigen-DRα1 domain linked to MOG-35-55 peptide (DRα1-MOG-35-55) is a partial major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II construct which can inhibit neuroantigen-specific T cells and block binding of the cytokine/chemokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to its CD74 receptor on monocytes and macrophages. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of DRα1-MOG-35-55 in a mouse model of permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO). DRα1-MOG-35-55 was administered to WT C57BL/6 mice by subcutaneous injection starting 4 h after the onset of ischemia followed by three daily injections. We demonstrated that DRα1-MOG-35-55 post treatment significantly reduced brain infarct volume, improved functional outcomes, and inhibited the accumulation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the ischemic brain 96 h after dMCAO. In addition, DRα1-MOG-35-55 treatment shifted microglia/macrophages in the ischemic brain to a beneficial M2 phenotype without changing their total numbers in the brain or blood. This study demonstrates for the first time the therapeutic efficacy of the DRα1-MOG-35-55 construct in dMCAO across MHC class II barriers in C57BL/6 mice. This MHC-independent effect obviates the need for tissue typing and will thus greatly expedite treatment with DRα1-MOG-35-55 in human stroke subjects. Taken together, our findings suggest that DRα1-MOG-35-55 treatment may reduce ischemic brain injury by regulating post-stroke immune responses in the brain and the periphery.
