Abstract
Copper is a trace element required by the organism, but once the level of copper exceeds the threshold, it becomes toxic and even causes death. The underlying mechanisms of copper-induced death are inconclusive, with different studies showing different opinions on the mechanism of copper-induced death. Multiple investigations have shown that copper induces oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, nucleolar stress, and proteasome inhibition, all of which can result in cell death. The latest research elucidates a copper-dependent death and denominates it as cuproptosis. Cuproptosis takes place through the combination of copper and lipoylated proteins of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, triggering agglomeration of lipoylated proteins and loss of iron-sulfur cluster proteins, leading to proteotoxic stress and ultimately death. Given the toxicity and necessity of copper, abnormal levels of copper lead to diseases such as neurological diseases and cancer. The development of cancer has a high demand for copper, neurological diseases involve the change of copper contents and the binding of copper to proteins. There is a close relationship between these two kinds of diseases and copper. Here, we summarize the mechanisms of copper-related death, and the association between copper and diseases, to better figure out the influence of copper in cell death and diseases, thus advancing the clinical remedy of these diseases.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a common neurological disease. Currently, there are no Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs that can maximize the improvement in ischemic stroke-induced nerve damage. Hence, treating ischemic stroke remains a clinical challenge. Ferroptosis has been increasingly studied in recent years, and it is closely related to the pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke. Iron overload, reactive oxygen species accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and glutamate accumulation associated with ferroptosis are all present in ischemic stroke. This article focuses on describing the relationship between ferroptosis and ischemic stroke and summarizes the relevant substances that ameliorate ischemic stroke-induced neurological damage by inhibiting ferroptosis. Finally, the problems in the treatment of ischemic stroke targeting ferroptosis are discussed, hoping to provide a new direction for its treatment.

DMT1-mediated iron overload accelerates cartilage degeneration in Hemophilic Arthropathy through the mtDNA-cGAS-STING axis. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167058.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excess iron contributes to Hemophilic Arthropathy (HA) development. Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) delivers iron into the cytoplasm, thus regulating iron homeostasis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate whether DMT1-mediated iron homeostasis is involved in bleeding-induced cartilage degeneration and the molecular mechanisms underlying iron overload-induced chondrocyte damage. METHODS This study established an in vivo HA model by puncturing knee joints of coagulation factor VIII gene knockout mice with a needle, and mimicked iron overload conditions in vitro by treatment of Ferric ammonium citrate (FAC). RESULTS We demonstrated that blood exposure caused iron overload and cartilage degeneration, as well as elevated expression of DMT1. Furthermore, DMT1 silencing alleviated blood-induced iron overload and cartilage degeneration. In hemophilic mice, articular cartilage degeneration was also suppressed by intro-articularly injection of DMT1 adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9). Mechanistically, RNA-sequencing analysis indicated the association between iron overload and cGAS-STING pathway. Further, iron overload triggered mtDNA-cGAS-STING pathway activation, which could be effectively mitigated by DMT1 silencing. Additionally, we discovered that RU.521, a potent Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) inhibitor, successfully suppressed the downward cascades of cGAS-STING, thereby protecting against chondrocyte damage. CONCLUSION Taken together, DMT1-mediated iron overload promotes chondrocyte damage and murine HA development, and targeted DMT1 may provide therapeutic and preventive approaches in HA.

Age-related changes after intracerebral hemorrhage: a comparative proteomics analysis of perihematomal tissue. Exp Biol Med (Maywood) 2024; 249:10117.

Abstract
The risk factors and causes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the degree of functional recovery after ICH are distinct between young and elderly patients. The increasing incidence of ICH in young adults has become a concern; however, research on the molecules and pathways involved ICH in subjects of different ages is lacking. In this study, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics was utilized to examine the protein expression profiles of perihematomal tissue from young and aged mice 24 h after collagenase-induced ICH. Among the 5,129 quantified proteins, ICH induced 108 and 143 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in young and aged mice, respectively; specifically, there were 54 common DEPs, 54 unique DEPs in young mice and 89 unique DEPs in aged mice. In contrast, aging altered the expression of 58 proteins in the brain, resulting in 39 upregulated DEPs and 19 downregulated DEPs. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that ICH activated different proteins in complement pathways, coagulation cascades, the acute phase response, and the iron homeostasis signaling pathway in mice of both age groups. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) demonstrated that the unique DEPs in the young and aged mice were related to lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism, respectively. Deeper paired-comparison analysis demonstrated that apolipoprotein M exhibited the most significant change in expression as a result of both aging and ICH. These results help illustrate age-related protein expression changes in the acute phase of ICH.

Intracerebral hemorrhage-induced brain injury in mice: The role of peroxiredoxin 2-Toll-like receptor 4 inflammatory axis. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14681. [PMID: 38516845 PMCID: PMC10958402 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2), an intracellular protein that regulates redox reactions, released from red blood cells is involved in inflammatory brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may be crucial in this process. This study investigated the role of the Prx2-TLR4 inflammatory axis in brain injury following experimental ICH in mice. METHODS First, C57BL/6 mice received an intracaudate injection of autologous arterial blood or saline and their brains were harvested on day 1 to measure Prx2 levels. Second, mice received an intracaudate injection of either recombinant mouse Prx2 or saline. Third, the mice were co-injected with autologous arterial blood and conoidin A, a Prx2 inhibitor, or vehicle. Fourth, the mice received a Prx2 injection and were treated with TAK-242, a TLR4 antagonist, or saline (intraperitoneally). Behavioral tests, magnetic resonance imaging, western blot, immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence staining, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were performed. RESULTS Brain Prx2 levels were elevated after autologous arterial blood injection. Intracaudate injection of Prx2 caused brain swelling, microglial activation, neutrophil infiltration, neuronal death, and neurological deficits. Co-injection of conoidin A attenuated autologous arterial blood-induced brain injury. TLR4 was expressed on the surface of microglia/macrophages and neutrophils and participated in Prx2-induced inflammation. TAK-242 treatment attenuated Prx2-induced inflammation and neurological deficits. CONCLUSIONS Prx2 can cause brain injury following ICH through the TLR4 pathway, revealing the Prx2-TLR4 inflammatory axis as a potential therapeutic target.

GW0742 reduces mast cells degranulation and attenuates neurological impairments via PPAR β/δ/CD300a/SHP1 pathway after GMH in neonatal rats. Exp Neurol 2024; 372:114615. [PMID: 37995951 PMCID: PMC10842885 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of mast cells plays an important role in brain inflammation. CD300a, an inhibitory receptor located on mast cell surfaces, has been reported to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exert protective effects in inflammation-related diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor, activation upregulates the transcription of CD300a. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of PPARβ/δ in the attenuation of germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH)-induced mast cell activation via CD300a/SHP1 pathway. METHODS GMH model was induced by intraparenchymal injection of bacterial collagenase into the right hemispheric ganglionic eminence in P7 Sprague Dawley rats. GW0742, a PPARβ/δ agonist, was administered intranasally at 1 h post-ictus. CD300a small interfering RNA (siRNA) and PPARβ/δ siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly 5 days and 2 days before GMH induction. Behavioral tests, Western blot, immunofluorescence, Toluidine Blue staining, and Nissl staining were applied to assess post-GMH evaluation. RESULTS Results demonstrated that endogenous protein levels of PPARβ/δ and CD300a were decreased, whereas chymase, tryptase, IL-17A and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) were elevated after GMH. GMH induced significant short- and long-term neurobehavioral deficits in rat pups. GW0742 decreased mast cell degranulation, improved neurological outcomes, and attenuated ventriculomegaly after GMH. Additionally, GW0742 increased expression of PPARβ/δ, CD300a and phosphorylation of SHP1, decreased phosphorylation of Syk, chymase, tryptase, IL-17A and TGF-β1 levels. PPARβ/δ siRNA and CD300a siRNA abolished the beneficial effects of GW0742. CONCLUSIONS GW0742 inhibited mast cell-induced inflammation and improved neurobehavior after GMH, which is mediated by PPARβ/δ/CD300a/SHP1 pathway. GW0742 may serve as a potential treatment to reduce brain injury for GMH patients.

Abstract
Mass effect after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) not only mechanically induces the brain damage, but also influences the progress of secondary brain damage. However, the influence of mass effect on the iron overload after ICH is still unclear. Here, a fixed volume of ferrous chloride solution and different volumes of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel were co-injected into the right basal ganglia of rats to establish the ICH model with certain degree of iron deposition but different degrees of mass effect. We found that mass effect significantly increased the iron deposition on neuronal cells at 6 h after ICH in a volume-dependent manner. Furthermore, the upregulation of Piezo-2, divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), transferrin receptor (TfR), and ferroptosis expressions were noted as the increase of mass effect. In addition, the pERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 treated ICH rats reversed the upregulation of iron uptake protein and ferroptosis. Our findings revealed the relationship between mass effect and the iron uptake and ferroptosis, which are benefit to understand the brain damage process after ICH.

Abstract
Iron accumulation in the CNS occurs in many neurological disorders. It can contribute to neuropathology as iron is a redox-active metal that can generate free radicals. The reasons for the iron buildup in these conditions are varied and depend on which aspects of iron influx, efflux, or sequestration that help maintain iron homeostasis are dysregulated. Iron was shown recently to induce cell death and damage via lipid peroxidation under conditions in which there is deficient glutathione-dependent antioxidant defense. This form of cell death is called ferroptosis. Iron chelation has had limited success in the treatment of neurological disease. There is therefore much interest in ferroptosis as it potentially offers new drugs that could be more effective in reducing iron-mediated lipid peroxidation within the lipid-rich environment of the CNS. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms that induce ferroptosis. We also address how iron enters and leaves the CNS, as well as the evidence for ferroptosis in several neurological disorders. Finally, we highlight biomarkers of ferroptosis and potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia, a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular pathologies linked to several central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These disorders primarily encompass ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), epilepsy, and other CNS conditions. Despite substantial progress in understanding and treating the underlying pathological processes in various neurological diseases, there is still a notable absence of effective therapeutic approaches aimed specifically at mitigating the damage caused by these illnesses. Remarkably, ischemia causes severe damage to cells in ischemia-associated CNS diseases. Cerebral ischemia initiates oxygen and glucose deprivation, which subsequently promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening, mitophagy dysfunction, and excessive mitochondrial fission, triggering various forms of cell death such as autophagy, apoptosis, as well as ferroptosis. Ferroptosis, a novel type of regulated cell death (RCD), is characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis both play critical roles in the pathogenic progression of ischemia-associated CNS diseases. In recent years, growing evidence has indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction interplays with ferroptosis to aggravate cerebral ischemia injury. However, the potential connections between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in cerebral ischemia have not yet been clarified. Thus, we analyzed the underlying mechanism between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in ischemia-associated CNS diseases. We also discovered that GSH depletion and GPX4 inactivation cause lipoxygenase activation and calcium influx following cerebral ischemia injury, resulting in MPTP opening and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, dysfunction in mitochondrial electron transport and an imbalanced fusion-to-fission ratio can lead to the accumulation of ROS and iron overload, which further contribute to the occurrence of ferroptosis. This creates a vicious cycle that continuously worsens cerebral ischemia injury. In this study, our focus is on exploring the interplay between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis, which may offer new insights into potential therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ischemia-associated CNS diseases.

Abstract
Acute central nervous system injuries (ACNSI), encompassing traumatic brain injury (TBI), non-traumatic brain injury like stroke and encephalomeningitis, as well as spinal cord injuries, are linked to significant rates of disability and mortality globally. Nevertheless, effective and feasible treatment plans are still to be formulated. There are primary and secondary injuries occurred after ACNSI. Most ACNSIs exhibit comparable secondary injuries, which offer numerous potential therapeutic targets for enhancing clinical outcomes. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death, is characterized as a lipid peroxidation process that is dependent on iron and oxidative conditions, which is also indispensable to mitochondria. Ferroptosis play a vital role in many neuropathological pathways, and ACNSIs may induce mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby indicating the essentiality of the mitochondrial connection to ferroptosis in ACNSIs. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the involvement of mitochondria in the occurrence of ferroptosis as a secondary injuries of ACNSIs. In recent studies, anti-ferroptosis agents such as the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostain-1 and iron chelation therapy have shown potential in ameliorating the deleterious effects of ferroptosis in cases of traumatic ACNSI. The importance of this evidence is extremely significant in relation to the research and control of ACNSIs. Therefore, our review aims to provide researchers focusing on enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of ACNSIs with valuable insights by summarizing the physiopathological mechanisms of ACNSIs and exploring the correlation between ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and ACNSIs.

Abstract
The clinical state of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been considered a pandemic disease (COVID-19) that is rapidly spreading worldwide. Despite all global efforts, the only treatment for COVID-19 is supportive care and there has been no efficient treatment to fight this plague. It is confirmed that patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorder and diabetes; are more vulnerable to COVID-19. In the severe type of COVID-19, laboratory findings showed a remarkably enhanced C-reactive protein, IL-6 serum, Iron, and ferritin, which suggest an inflammatory response. Inflammation results in iron homeostasis imbalance and causes iron overload, exacerbating the SARSCOV2 infection. More importantly, recent studies have established that SARS-CoV-2 needs iron for viral replication and also activation. As a result, managing iron overload in diabetic patients with COVID-19 could be an early therapeutic approach to limit the lethal inflammatory response of COVID-19. In this review, Deferoxamine (DFO) has been proposed as an effective iron chelator agent. Graphical Abstract

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Restoration of blood circulation within "time window" is the principal treating goal for treating acute ischemic stroke. Previous studies revealed that delayed recanalization might cause serious ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, plenty of evidences showed delayed recanalization improved neurological outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. This study aims to explore the role of delayed recanalization on blood-brain barrier (BBB) in the penumbra (surrounding ischemic core) and neurological outcomes after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). METHODS Recanalization was performed on the 3rd day after MCAO. BBB disruption was tested by Western blotting, Evans blue dye, and immunofluorescence staining. Infarct volume and neurological outcomes were evaluated on the 7th day after MCAO. The expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), and serine/threonine kinase (Akt) in the penumbra were observed by immunofluorescence staining and/or Western blotting. RESULTS The extraversion of Evans blue, IgG, and albumin increased surrounding ischemic core after MCAO, but significantly decreased after recanalization. The expression of Claudin-5, Occludin, and zona occludens 1 (ZO-1) decreased surrounding ischemic core after MCAO, but significantly increased after recanalization. Infarct volume reduced and neurological outcomes improved following recanalization (on the 7th day after MCAO). The expressions of Claudin-5, Occludin, and ZO-1 decreased surrounding ischemic core following MCAO, which were up-regulated corresponding to the increases of FGF21, p-FGFR1, PI3K, and p-Akt after recanalization. Intra-cerebroventricular injection of FGFR1 inhibitor SU5402 down-regulated the expression of PI3K, p-Akt, Occludin, Claudin-5, and ZO-1 in the penumbra, which weakened the beneficial effects of recanalization on neurological outcomes after MCAO. CONCLUSIONS Delayed recanalization on the 3rd day after MCAO increases endogenous FGF21 in the penumbra and activates FGFR1/PI3K/Akt pathway, which attenuates BBB disruption in the penumbra and improves neurobehavior in MCAO rats.

Cell Signal 2023; 104:110594.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent programmed cell death discovered in recent years that has been shown to be involved in diverse neurological disorders. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule with neuroprotective effects, including antioxidation. However, whether the protective mechanism of H2S is related to ferroptosis remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the protective mechanisms of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, a donor of H2S) against ferroptosis caused by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using a hemin-induced BV2 cell injury model in vitro. Our results indicated that NaHS enhanced cell viability and reduced hemin-induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. NaHS suppressed ferroptosis after hemin treatment, which was confirmed by attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, maintained iron homeostasis, recovery of the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7-member 11 (SLC7A11), and increased glutathione (GSH) production. Moreover, we demonstrated that inhibiting ferroptosis improved cell survival and prevented hemin-induced oxidative stress. In addition, NaHS was also able to block ferroptosis inducer RSL3-induced ferroptotic cell death. We also found that NaHS increased cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) expression and H2S levels after hemin treatment. Furthermore, NaHS-induced ferroptosis reduction was inhibited by the CBS inhibitor aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) as well as by CBS small interference RNA (siCBS). In summary, these findings demonstrated that NaHS protects against hemin-induced ferroptosis by reducing lipid peroxidation, inhibiting iron overload, increasing GSH production, and improving GPX4 and SLC7A11 via the CBS/H2S system. The CBS/H2S system may be a promising target for preventing ferroptosis after ICH.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential mucolipin-1 (TRPML1) is the most abundantly and widely expressed channel protein in the TRP family. While numerous studies have been conducted involving many aspects of TRPML1, such as its role in cell biology, oncology, and neurodegenerative diseases, there are limited reports about what role it plays in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury (SBI). Here we examined the function of TRPML1 in ICH-induced SBI. The caudal arterial blood of rats was injected into the caudate nucleus of basal ganglia to establish an experimental ICH model. We observed that lentivirus downregulated the expression level of TRPML1 and chemical agonist promoted the enzyme activity of TRPML1. The results indicated that the protein levels of TRPML1 in brain tissues increased 24 h after ICH. These results suggested that downregulated TRPML1 could significantly reduce inflammatory cytokines, and ICH induced the production of LDH and ROS. Furthermore, TRPML1 knockout relieved ICH-induced neuronal cell death and degeneration, and declines in learning and memory after ICH could be improved by downregulating the expression of TRPML1. In addition, chemical agonist-expressed TRPML1 showed the opposite effect and exacerbated SBI after ICH. In summary, this study demonstrated that TRPML1 contributed to brain injury after ICH, and downregulating TRPML1 could improve ICH-induced SBI, suggesting a potential target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important barrier that maintains homeostasis within the central nervous system. Brain microvascular endothelial cells are arranged to form vessel walls and express tight junctional complexes that limit the paracellular pathways of the BBB and therefore play a crucial role in ensuring brain function. These vessel walls tightly regulate the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between the blood and the brain, which protect the neural tissue from toxins and pathogens. Primary damage caused by BBB dysfunction can disrupt the expression of tight junctions, transport proteins and leukocyte adhesion molecules, leading to brain edema, disturbances in ion homeostasis, altered signaling and immune infiltration, which can lead to neuronal cell death. Various neurological diseases are known to cause BBB dysfunction, but the mechanism that causes this disorder is not clear. Recently, ferroptosis has been found to play an important role in BBB dysfunction. Ferroptosis is a new form of regulatory cell death, which is caused by the excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides and iron-dependent reactive oxygen species. This review summarizes the role of ferroptosis in BBB dysfunction and the latest progress of ferroptosis mechanism, and further discusses the influence of various factors of ferroptosis on the severity and prognosis of BBB dysfunction, which may provide better therapeutic targets for BBB dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the novel biomarkers and therapeutic target candidates related to the stasis-heat syndrome of acute intracerebral hemorrhage (AICH). METHODS Applying an isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation-(iTRAQ-) based quantitative proteomic approach, plasma samples from AICH patients with stasis-heat, and AICH patients with non-stasis-heat and healthy control subjects were collected and analyzed to distinguish differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) correlated to AICH with stasis-heat in this block design. The standard Western blot was applied to verify DEPs. Additionally, DEPs were analyzed via bioinformatic platforms and further approved via Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). RESULTS A total of 26 DEPs were found among AICH with the stasis-heat, AICH with non-stasis-heat, and healthy control group. The seven DEPs compared with the non-stasis-heat group are closely related to the pathogenesis of stasis heat. These proteins showed three different protein expression patterns. The alpha-1-b glycoprotein (A1BG) and copper-protein (CP) were up-regulated in the stasis-heat group, but down-regulated in the non-stasis-heat group. Compared with the non-stasis-heat group, the expression abundance of actinin, alpha 1 (ACTN1), carbonic anhydrase I (CA1), peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), and vinculin (VCL) is higher in the stasis-heat group, while the CD44 is the opposite. These differences reflect that stasis-heat syndrome has more severe inflammatory immune response, coagulation disorders and damage. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that a wide variety of cellular and metabolic processes and some signaling pathways were involved in the pathophysiology of AICH with stasis-heat. AICH with stasis-heat syndrome showed more severe inflammatory reactions, tissue damage, and coagulation disorders than non-stasis heat syndrome. CONCLUSIONS There are differences in the protein expression patterns between the stasis-heat syndrome and non-stasis-heat syndrome. These differences reflect that stasis-heat syndrome has more severe damage. CD44, CP, ACTN1, CA1, VCL, PRDX2, and A1BG could be the potential biomarkers and therapeutic target candidates of the stasis-heat subtype. This study provides a reasonable explaination for Liangxue Tongyu decoction through anti-inflammatory and brain protection treatment.

Abstract
Significance: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a major pathological change after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is both the cause and result of oxidative stress and of the immune response post-ICH. These processes contribute to ICH-induced brain injury. Recent Advances: After the breakdown of cerebral vessels, blood components, including erythrocytes and their metabolites, thrombin, and fibrinogen, can access the cerebral parenchyma through the compromised BBB, triggering oxidative stress and inflammatory cascades. These aggravate BBB disruption and contribute to further infiltration of blood components, resulting in a vicious cycle that exacerbates brain edema and neurological injury after ICH. Experimental and clinical studies have highlighted the role of BBB disruption in ICH-induced brain injury. Critical Issues: In this review, we focus on the strategies to protect the BBB in ICH. Specifically, we summarize the evidence and the underlying mechanisms, including the ICH-induced process of oxidative stress and inflammatory response, and we highlight the potential therapeutic targets to protect BBB integrity after ICH. Future Directions: Future studies should probe the mechanism of ferroptosis as well as oxidative stress-inflammation coupling in BBB disruption after ICH and investigate the effects of antioxidants and immunomodulatory agents in more ICH clinical trials.

Abstract
Significance: Iron accumulation occurs in the central nervous system (CNS) in a variety of neurological conditions as diverse as spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and others. Iron is a redox-active metal that gives rise to damaging free radicals if its intracellular levels are not controlled or if it is not properly sequestered within cells. The accumulation of iron occurs due to dysregulation of mechanisms that control cellular iron homeostasis. Recent Advances: The molecular mechanisms that regulate cellular iron homeostasis have been revealed in much detail in the past three decades, and new advances continue to be made. Understanding which aspects of iron homeostasis are dysregulated in different conditions will provide insights into the causes of iron accumulation and iron-mediated tissue damage. Recent advances in iron-dependent lipid peroxidation leading to cell death, called ferroptosis, has provided useful insights that are highly relevant for the lipid-rich environment of the CNS. Critical Issues: This review examines the mechanisms that control normal cellular iron homeostasis, the dysregulation of these mechanisms in neurological disorders, and more recent work on how iron can induce tissue damage via ferroptosis. Future Directions: Quick and reliable tests are needed to determine if and when ferroptosis contributes to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. In addition, there is need to develop better druggable agents to scavenge lipid radicals and reduce CNS damage for neurological conditions for which there are currently few effective treatments.

Comparative Use of Contralateral and Sham-Operated Controls Reveals Traces of a Bilateral Genetic Response in the Rat Brain after Focal Stroke. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137308.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a multifactorial disease with a complex etiology and global consequences. Model animals are widely used in stroke studies. Various controls, either brain samples from sham-operated (SO) animals or symmetrically located brain samples from the opposite (contralateral) hemisphere (CH), are often used to analyze the processes in the damaged (ipsilateral) hemisphere (IH) after focal stroke. However, previously, it was shown that focal ischemia can lead to metabolic and transcriptomic changes not only in the IH but also in the CH. Here, using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model and genome-wide RNA sequencing, we identified 1941 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a cutoff value >1.5 and Padj < 0.05 that reflected the general transcriptome response of IH subcortical cells at 24 h after tMCAO using both SO and CH controls. Concomitantly, 861 genes were differentially expressed in IH vs. SO, whereas they were not vs. the CH control. Furthermore, they were associated with apoptosis, the cell cycle, and neurotransmitter responses. In turn, we identified 221 DEGs in IH vs. CH, which were non-DEGs vs. the SO control. Moreover, they were predominantly associated with immune-related response. We believe that both sets of non-overlapping genes recorded transcriptome changes in IH cells associated with transhemispheric differences after focal cerebral ischemia. Thus, the specific response of the CH transcriptome should be considered when using it as a control in studies of target brain regions in diseases that induce a global bilateral genetic response, such as stroke.

Abstract
The choroid plexus is a tissue located in the lateral ventricles of the brain and is composed mainly of choroid plexus epithelium cells. The main function is currently thought to be the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid and the regulation of its pH, and more functions are gradually being demonstrated. Assistance in the removal of metabolic waste and participation in the apoptotic pathway are also the functions of choroid plexus. Besides, it helps to repair the brain by regulating the secretion of neuropeptides and the delivery of drugs. It is involved in the immune response to assist in the clearance of infections in the central nervous system. It is now believed that the choroid plexus is in an inflammatory state after damage to the brain. This state, along with changes in the cilia, is thought to be an abnormal physiological state of the choroid plexus, which in turn leads to abnormal conditions in cerebrospinal fluid and triggers hydrocephalus. This review describes the pathophysiological mechanism of hydrocephalus following choroid plexus epithelium cell abnormalities based on the normal physiological functions of choroid plexus epithelium cells, and analyzes the attempts and future developments of using choroid plexus epithelium cells as a therapeutic target for hydrocephalus.

Abstract
As a neurological disease with high morbidity, disability, and mortality, the pathological mechanism underlying stroke involves complex processes such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and excitotoxicity; but the related research on these molecular mechanisms has not been effectively applied in clinical practice. As a form of iron-dependent regulated cell death, ferroptosis was first discovered in the pathological process of cancer, but recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to the onset and development of stroke. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and stroke may lead to more effective treatment strategies. Herein, we reviewed the mechanism(s) underlying the onset of ferroptosis in stroke, the potential role of ferroptosis in stroke, and the crosstalk between ferroptosis and other pathological mechanisms. This will further deepen our understanding of ferroptosis and provide new approaches to the treatment of stroke.

Abstract
Astrocytes are essential in maintaining normal brain functions such as blood brain barrier (BBB) homeostasis and synapse formation as the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). After the stroke, astrocytes are known as reactive astrocytes (RAs) because they are stimulated by various damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and cytokines, resulting in significant changes in their reactivity, gene expression, and functional characteristics. RAs perform multiple functions after stroke. The inflammatory response of RAs may aggravate neuro-inflammation and release toxic factors to exert neurological damage. However, RAs also reduce excitotoxicity and release neurotrophies to promote neuroprotection. Furthermore, RAs contribute to angiogenesis and axonal remodeling to promote neurological recovery. Therefore, RAs' biphasic roles and mechanisms make them an effective target for functional recovery after the stroke. In this review, we summarized the dynamic functional changes and internal molecular mechanisms of RAs, as well as their therapeutic potential and strategies, in order to comprehensively understand the role of RAs in the outcome of stroke disease and provide a new direction for the clinical treatment of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neuronal pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death triggered by proinflammatory signals. CCR5 (C-C chemokine receptor 5)-mediated inflammation is involved in the pathology of various neurological diseases. This study investigated the impact of CCR5 activation on neuronal pyroptosis and the underlying mechanism involving cAMP-dependent PKA (protein kinase A)/CREB (cAMP response element binding)/NLRP1 (nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain containing 1) pathway after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS A total of 194 adult male CD1 mice were used. ICH was induced by autologous whole blood injection. Maraviroc (MVC)-a selective antagonist of CCR5-was administered intranasally 1 hour after ICH. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, a specific CREB inhibitor, 666-15, was administered intracerebroventricularly before MVC administration in ICH mice. In a set of naive mice, rCCL5 (recombinant chemokine ligand 5) and selective PKA activator, 8-Bromo-cAMP, were administered intracerebroventricularly. Short- and long-term neurobehavioral assessments, Western blot, Fluoro-Jade C, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and immunofluorescence staining were performed. RESULTS The brain expression of CCL5 (chemokine ligand 5), CCR5, PKA-Cα (protein kinase A-Cα), p-CREB (phospho-cAMP response element binding), and NLRP1 was increased, peaking at 24 hours after ICH. CCR5 was expressed on neurons, microglia, and astrocytes. MVC improved the short- and long-term neurobehavioral deficits and decreased neuronal pyroptosis in ipsilateral brain tissues at 24 hours after ICH, which were accompanied by increased PKA-Cα and p-CREB expression, and decreased expression of NLRP1, ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), C-caspase-1, GSDMD (gasdermin D), and IL (interleukin)-1β/IL-18. Such effects of MVC were abolished by 666-15. At 24 hours after injection in naive mice, rCCL5 induced neurological deficits, decreased PKA-Cα and p-CREB expression in the brain, and upregulated NLRP1, ASC, C-caspase-1, N-GSDMD, and IL-1β/IL-18 expression. Those effects of rCCL5 were reversed by 8-Bromo-cAMP. CONCLUSIONS CCR5 activation promoted neuronal pyroptosis and neurological deficits after ICH in mice, partially through the CCR5/PKA/CREB/NLRP1 signaling pathway. CCR5 inhibition with MVC may provide a promising therapeutic approach in managing patients with ICH.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a unique regulated cell death defined by the intracellular iron overload and distinct biological features compared with other well-known programmed cell death. Ferroptosis can be triggered by many causes including decreased expression of glutathione (GSH), inhibition of the function of glutathione-dependent peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and system xc–, all of which finally lead to the over-accumulation of lipid peroxides in the cell. Ferroptosis has been reported to play an important role in the pathophysiological process of various cancers. In recent years, much evidence also proved that ferroptosis is involved in the progress of cerebral stroke. In this review, we summarized the characteristics of ferroptosis and the potential relationship between ferroptosis and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, to provide new targets and ideas for the therapy of stroke.

Abstract
Stroke is a disastrous neurological disease with high morbidity and mortality. The mechanism of the pathological process is extremely complicated and unclear. Although many basic studies have confirmed molecular mechanism of brain injury after stroke, these studies have not yet translated into treatment and clinical application. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that is distinct from necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy morphologically and biochemically and is characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Despite ferroptosis being first identified in cancer cells, it was recently revealed to also be a significant factor in the pathological process of stroke. A better understanding of ferroptosis in stroke may provide us with better therapeutic targets to treat this devastating disease. Here, we systematically summarized the current mechanism of ferroptosis and reviewed the current studies regarding the relationship between ferroptosis and stroke.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most lethal type of stroke, often leads to poor outcomes in the clinic. Due to the complex mechanisms and cell-cell crosstalk during ICH, the neurovascular unit (NVU) was proposed to serve as a promising therapeutic target for ICH research. This review aims to summarize the development of pathophysiological shifts in the NVU and neural-glia networks after ICH. In addition, potential targets for ICH therapy are discussed in this review. Beyond cerebral blood flow, the NVU also plays an important role in protecting neurons, maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis, coordinating neuronal activity among supporting cells, forming and maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and regulating neuroimmune responses. During ICH, NVU dysfunction is induced, along with neuronal cell death, microglia and astrocyte activation, endothelial cell (EC) and tight junction (TJ) protein damage, and BBB disruption. In addition, it has been shown that certain targets and candidates can improve ICH-induced secondary brain injury based on an NVU and neural-glia framework. Moreover, therapeutic approaches and strategies for ICH are discussed.

[PMID: 33129840 PMCID: PMC7750274 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2020.113521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin-2 (PRX-2) is known to be released from erythrocytes and induce brain damage after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) is involved in neuroinflammation following ICH. This study examined the role of LCN-2 in PRX-2 induced brain injury and involved three parts. In the first part, adult male C57BL/6 wild-type (WT), LCN-2 heterozygous (LCN-2 HET), and LCN-2 knockout (LCN-2 KO) mice received either an intracaudate injection of recombinant PRX-2 or saline. In the second part, adult male C57BL/6 WT and male LCN-2 KO mice received recombinant PRX-2 with either recombinant mouse LCN-2 protein or control. In the third part, adult female C57BL/6 WT, LCN-2 HET, and LCN-2 KO mice received recombinant PRX-2. Behavioral tests, and T2- and T2*- weighted magnetic resonance imaging was obtained for all mice. Mice were then euthanized, and their brains used for Western blotting, histology and immunohistochemistry. Intracerebral PRX-2 injections resulted in increased expression of LCN-2 protein. PRX-2-induced brain swelling, neutrophil infiltration, microglia/macrophage activation, neuronal cell death, and neurological deficits were reduced in male LCN-2 HET and LCN-2 KO mice (P < 0.01) compared to WT and were exacerbated by exogenous LCN-2 co-injection. Additionally, intracerebral PRX-2 injections caused brain injury and neurological deficits in female WT mice; effects reduced in female LCN-2 KO mice. In conclusion, intracerebral injection of PRX-2 upregulates LCN-2, and LCN-2 is crucial in the effects of PRX-2 on neutrophil infiltration and microglia/macrophage activation, and ultimately brain damage.

Escin ameliorates the impairments of neurological function and blood brain barrier by inhibiting systemic inflammation in intracerebral hemorrhagic mice. Exp Neurol 2020; 337:113554. [PMID: 33309746 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2020.113554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether escin ameliorates the impairments of neurological function by ameliorating systemic inflammation instead of targeting the brain directly in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mice. It showed that escin did not cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). Compared with the ICH group, the Garcia test scores in the escin groups were significantly increased. Brain water contents and Evans blue extravasation of the right basal ganglia in the ICH group were augmented, and significantly reduced by escin. Escin abated the increases of monocyte counts and serum IL-1β levels induced by ICH. IL-1β administration reversed the effect of escin on Garcia test scores, the brain water contents, and the Evans blue extravasation. Escin ameliorated the increasing levels of RhoA, ROCK1, nuclear NF-κB and the decreasing expression of IκBα, cytosolic NF-κB, occludin, claudin-5 in the ICH group. IL-1β administration blocked not only escin-mediated increases of IκBα, cytosolic NF-κB, occludin, and claudin-5, but also escin-caused decreases of RhoA, ROCK1, and nuclear NF-κB. The results indicate that escin improves neurological outcomes and the BBB function in ICH mice, which is associated with attenuating ICH-induced peripheral system inflammation, and therefore, inhibiting IL-1β/RhoA/NF-κB signaling pathway in BBB, at least in part. These findings suggest that it may be useful to ameliorate brain injury by inhibiting systemic inflammation instead of aiming to target the brain directly after ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality, for which no effective therapies are currently available. Brain tissue damage caused by ICH is mediated by a newly identified form of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, called ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by the iron-induced accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to intracellular oxidative stress. Lipid ROS cause damage to nucleic acids, proteins, and cell membranes, eventually resulting in ferroptosis. Numerous biological processes are involved in ferroptosis, including iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione biosynthesis; therefore, iron chelators, lipophilic antioxidants, and other specific inhibitors can suppress ferroptosis, suggesting that these modulators are beneficial for treating brain injury due to ICH. Accumulating evidence indicates that ferroptosis differs from other types of programmed cell death, such as necroptosis, apoptosis, oxytosis, and pyroptosis, in terms of ultrastructural characteristics, signaling pathways, and outcomes. Although several studies have emphasized the importance of ferroptosis due to ICH, the detailed mechanism underlying ferroptosis remains unclear. This review summarizes the available evidence on the mechanism underlying ferroptosis and its relationship with other types of cell death, with the aim to identify therapeutic targets and potential interventions for ICH.

Abstract
Thrombin is increased in the brain after hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke primarily due to the prothrombin entry from blood either with a hemorrhage or following blood-brain barrier disruption. Increasing evidence indicates that thrombin and its receptors (protease-activated receptors (PARs)) play a major role in brain pathology following ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (including intracerebral, intraventricular, and subarachnoid hemorrhage). Thrombin and PARs affect brain injury via multiple mechanisms that can be detrimental or protective. The cleavage of prothrombin into thrombin is the key step of hemostasis and thrombosis which takes place in every stroke and subsequent brain injury. The extravascular effects and direct cellular interactions of thrombin are mediated by PARs (PAR-1, PAR-3, and PAR-4) and their downstream signaling in multiple brain cell types. Such effects include inducing blood-brain-barrier disruption, brain edema, neuroinflammation, and neuronal death, although low thrombin concentrations can promote cell survival. Also, thrombin directly links the coagulation system to the immune system by activating interleukin-1α. Such effects of thrombin can result in both short-term brain injury and long-term functional deficits, making extravascular thrombin an understudied therapeutic target for stroke. This review examines the role of thrombin and PARs in brain injury following hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke and the potential treatment strategies which are complicated by their role in both hemostasis and brain.

J Neuroinflammation 2020; 17:182.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a life-threatening cerebrovascular disease. Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HIE, in which microglia are key cellular mediators in the regulation of neuroinflammatory processes. Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), a specific endogenous ligand of CSF1 receptor (CSF1R), is crucial in microglial growth, differentiation, and proliferation. Recent studies showed that the activation of CSF1R with CSF1 exerted anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of nervous system diseases. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of recombinant human CSF1 (rh-CSF1) and the underlying mechanisms in a rat model of HIE. METHODS A total of 202 10-day old Sprague Dawley rat pups were used. HI was induced by the right common carotid artery ligation with subsequent exposure of 2.5-h hypoxia. At 1 h and 24 h after HI induction, exogenous rh-CSF1 was administered intranasally. To explore the underlying mechanism, CSF1R inhibitor, BLZ945, and phospholipase C-gamma 2 (PLCG2) inhibitor, U73122, were injected intraperitoneally at 1 h before HI induction, respectively. Brain infarct area, brain water content, neurobehavioral tests, western blot, and immunofluorescence staining were performed. RESULTS The expressions of endogenous CSF1, CSF1R, PLCG2, protein kinase C epsilon type (PKCε), and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) were gradually increased after HIE. Rh-CSF1 significantly improved the neurological deficits at 48 h and 4 weeks after HI, which was accompanied by a reduction in the brain infarct area, brain edema, brain atrophy, and neuroinflammation. Moreover, activation of CSF1R by rh-CSF1 significantly increased the expressions of p-PLCG2, p-PKCε, and p-CREB, but inhibited the activation of neutrophil infiltration, and downregulated the expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α. Inhibition of CSF1R and PLCG2 abolished these neuroprotective effects of rh-CSF1 after HI. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that the activation of CSF1R by rh-CSF1 attenuated neuroinflammation and improved neurological deficits after HI. The anti-inflammatory effects of rh-CSF1 partially acted through activating the CSF1R/PLCG2/PKCε/CREB signaling pathway after HI. These results suggest that rh-CSF1 may serve as a potential therapeutic approach to ameliorate injury in HIE patients.

Miro1 Regulates Neuronal Mitochondrial Transport and Distribution to Alleviate Neuronal Damage in Secondary Brain Injury After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats. Cell Mol Neurobiol 2020; 41:795-812.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a primary cause of death and disability in adults worldwide. Secondary brain injury (SBI) induced by ICH can lead to impaired mitochondrial function, which ultimately contributes to apoptosis and necrosis. Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 (Miro1) is a key regulator of mitochondrial movement and motor protein binding. Although Miro1 has been demonstrated to be implicated in various types of central nervous system damage, its potential effect on ICH-induced SBI has not been studied in detail. Hence, in the present new study, we explored the effect of Miro1 on SBI in vivo and in vitro. Self-body heart blood was injected into the right basal ganglia of the rat brain in vivo. Meanwhile, our in vitro model of ICH was based on the stimulation of oxygen hemoglobin (OxyHb) to neurons. Then, Miro1 was overexpressed both in the brains of rats after ICH in vivo and in OxyHb-treated cultured neurons in vitro. Miro1 overexpression in vivo reduced several pathological indexes such as brain edema, neurobehavioral impairment, and neuronal death. Immunofluorescent staining in vitro showed that overexpression of Miro1 ameliorated neuronal damage via facilitation of mitochondrial transport and distribution. JC-1 staining indicated that overexpression of Miro1 reduced the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and enhanced mitochondrial mass. Additionally, live-dead cellular staining and flow cytometry analysis revealed that Miro1 overexpression in cultured neurons reduced both necrotic and apoptotic rates. In contrast, inhibition of Miro1 expression yielded opposite effects to those of Miro1 overexpression. Above all, the upregulation of Miro1 significantly alleviated pathological symptoms on SBI in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Preterm neonates with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) are at risk for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and poor neurological outcomes. Iron has been implicated in ventriculomegaly, hippocampal injury, and poor outcomes following IVH. We hypothesized that levels of cerebrospinal fluid blood breakdown products and endogenous iron clearance proteins in neonates with IVH differ from those of neonates with IVH who subsequently develop posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Methods- Premature neonates with an estimated gestational age at birth <30 weeks who underwent lumbar puncture for clinical evaluation an average of 2 weeks after birth were evaluated. Groups consisted of controls (n=16), low-grade IVH (grades I-II; n=4), high-grade IVH (grades III-IV; n=6), and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (n=9). Control subjects were preterm neonates born at <30 weeks' gestation without brain abnormality or hemorrhage on cranial ultrasound, who underwent lumbar puncture for clinical purposes. Cerebrospinal fluid hemoglobin, total bilirubin, total iron, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, haptoglobin, and hemopexin were quantified. Results- Cerebrospinal fluid hemoglobin levels were increased in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus compared with high-grade IVH (9.45 versus 6.06 µg/mL, P<0.05) and cerebrospinal fluid ferritin levels were increased in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus compared with controls (511.33 versus 67.08, P<0.01). No significant group differences existed for the other cerebrospinal fluid blood breakdown and iron-handling proteins tested. We observed positive correlations between ventricular enlargement (frontal occipital horn ratio) and ferritin (Pearson r=0.67), hemoglobin (Pearson r=0.68), and total bilirubin (Pearson r=0.69). Conclusions- Neonates with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus had significantly higher levels of hemoglobin than those with high-grade IVH. Levels of blood breakdown products, hemoglobin, ferritin, and bilirubin correlated with ventricular size. There was no elevation of several iron-scavenging proteins in cerebrospinal fluid in neonates with posthemorrhagic hydrocpehalus, indicative of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus as a disease state occurring when endogenous iron clearance mechanisms are overwhelmed.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) lysis within the hematoma causes brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage. Peroxiredoxin 2 (PRX-2) is the third most abundant protein in RBCs and this study examined the potential role of PRX-2 in inducing brain injury in rats. First, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats had an intracaudate injection of lysed RBCs or saline. Brains were harvested at 1 h to measure PRX-2 levels. Second, rats had an intracaudate injection of either recombinant PRX-2, heat-inactivated PRX-2, or saline. Third, rats had intracaudate co-injection of lysed RBCs with conoidin A, a PRX-2 inhibitor, or vehicle. For the second and third parts of studies, behavioral tests were performed and all rats had magnetic resonance imaging prior to euthanasia for brain immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. We found that brain PRX-2 levels were increased after lysed RBC injection. Intracaudate injection of PRX-2 resulted in blood-brain barrier disruption, brain swelling, neutrophil infiltration, microglia activation, neuronal death, and neurological deficits. Intracerebral injection of lysed RBCs induced brain injury, which was reduced by conoidin A. These results suggest that extracellular PRX-2 released from hematoma can cause brain injury following brain hemorrhage and could be a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Macrophage phagocytosis plays an important role in hematoma clearance after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study examined the characteristics of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs), a group of macrophages with multiple nuclei, in a mouse ICH model. Whether MGCs could be increased by treatment with a CD47 blocking antibody and decreased by treatment with clodronate liposomes were also examined. ICH was induced via autologous blood injection. Male adult C57BL/6 mice in different groups had (1) ICH alone; (2) ICH with anti-CD47 blocking antibody or control IgG; and (3) ICH with anti-CD47 antibody combined with clodronate liposomes or control liposomes. The effect of anti-CD47 antibody on MGC formation was also tested in females. Brains were harvested at days 3 or 7 for brain histology. Many MGCs were found at day 3 post-ICH, but were reduced at day 7. MGCs phagocytosed many red blood cells and were heme oxygenase-1, ferritin, YM-1, and iNOS positive. CD47 blocking antibody injection increased MGC numbers in the peri-hematomal zone and in the hematoma in both sexes. Co-injection of clodronate liposomes depleted MGCs in both the hematoma core and the peri-hematomal area. In conclusion, MGCs represent a macrophage/microglia subtype with strong phagocytosis capacity. MGCs exhibited not only an M2 but also an M1 phenotype and appeared involved in hemoglobin degradation. Anti-CD47 antibody boosted the number of MGCs, which may contribute to enhance hematoma clearance. Understanding the exact roles of MGCs in ICH may reveal novel targets for ICH treatment.

Abstract
Glial scars formed after brain injuries provide permissive cues for endogenous neural precursor/stem cells (eNP/SCs) to undergo astrogenesis rather than neurogenesis. Following brain injury, eNP/SCs from the subventricular zone leave their niche, migrate to the injured cortex, and differentiate into reactive astrocytes that contribute to glial scar formation. In vivo neuronal reprogramming, directly converting non-neuronal cells such as reactive astrocytes or NG2 glia into neurons, has greatly improved brain injury repair strategies. However, reprogramming carries a high risk of future clinical applications such as tumorigenicity, involving virus. In this study, we constructed a neural matrix to alter the adverse niche at the injured cortex, enabling eNP/SCs to differentiate into functional neurons. We found that the neural matrix functioned as a "glial trap" that largely concentrated and limited reactive astrocytes to the core of the lesion area, thus altering the adverse niche. The eNP/SCs migrated toward the injured cortex and differentiated into functional neurons. In addition, regenerated neurites extended across the boundary of the injured cortex. Mice treated with the neural matrix demonstrated significant behavioral recovery. For the first time, we induced eNP/SC-derived functional neurons in the cortex after brain injury without the use of viruses, microRNAs, or small molecules. Our novel strategy of applying this "glial trap" to obtain functional neurons in the injured cortex may provide a safer and more natural therapeutic alternative to reprogramming in future clinical applications.

Abstract
Both experimental studies and surgical clinical trials suggest that hematoma clearance is a therapeutic target in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We have investigated effects of CD47, a "don't eat me" signal expressed on erythrocytes, on hematoma resolution after ICH in young mice. This study expands those findings by examining the effects on a CD47 blocking antibody in aged rats. First, male Fischer 344 rats (18 months old) received an intracaudate injection of 50 μL autologous whole blood or saline. Hematoma features of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurological deficits were evaluated within 3 days. Second, rats had an intracaudate co-injection of 50 μL autologous blood with either CD47 blocking antibody or IgG. MRI was used to quantify hematoma/iron volume, hemolysis, brain swelling, and atrophy at different time points, behavioral tests to assess neurological deficits, and immunohistochemistry to assess brain injury and neuroinflammation. The CD47 blocking antibody significantly promoted hematoma clearance, attenuated brain swelling, hemolysis, and neuronal loss and increased the number of phagocytic macrophages in and around hematoma 3 days after ICH. Moreover, CD47 blockade reduced neuronal loss, brain atrophy, and neurobehavioral deficits at day 28. These results indicate that a CD47 blocking antibody can accelerate hematoma clearance and alleviate short- and long-term brain injury after ICH in aged rats and that it might be a therapeutic strategy for ICH.

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.
