Abstract
Receptor-mediated vesicular transport has been extensively developed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and has emerged as a class of powerful brain-targeting delivery technologies. However, commonly used BBB receptors such as transferrin receptor and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, are also expressed in normal brain parenchymal cells and can cause drug distribution in normal brain tissues and subsequent neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment. Here, the endoplasmic reticulum residing protein GRP94 is found upregulated and relocated to the cell membrane of both BBB endothelial cells and brain metastatic breast cancer cells (BMBCCs) by preclinical and clinical investigations. Inspired by that Escherichia coli penetrates the BBB via the binding of its outer membrane proteins with GRP94, avirulent DH5α outer membrane protein-coated nanocapsules (Omp@NCs) are developed to cross the BBB, avert normal brain cells, and target BMBCCs via recognizing GRP94. Embelin (EMB)-loaded Omp@EMB specifically reduce neuroserpin in BMBCCs, which inhibits vascular cooption growth and induces apoptosis of BMBCCs by restoring plasmin. Omp@EMB plus anti-angiogenic therapy prolongs the survival of mice with brain metastases. This platform holds the translational potential to maximize therapeutic effects on GRP94-positive brain diseases.

Pre-ischaemic Treatment with Enriched Environment Alleviates Acute Neuronal Injury by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-dependent Autophagy and Apoptosis. Neuroscience 2023; 513:14-27. [PMID: 36549603 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2022.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Enriched environment (EE) is effective in preventing cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying the neuroprotection of EE preprocessing. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been demonstrated to be extensively involved in I/R injury. We aimed to investigate the potential regulatory mechanism of ER stress in the neuroprotection of pre-ischemic EE. Rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham surgery after 4 weeks of exposure in standard or enriched environments. We found that EE pretreatment alleviates acute neuronal injury after MCAO, as shown by reduced infarct volume and neurological deficit score. The expression of ER stress-related proteins, markers of autophagy, and apoptosis were detected to investigate the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that pre-ischemic EE inhibited the ER stress, as evidenced by the inactivation of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), protein kinase RNA (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK), and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) pathways. Moreover, the rats reared in EE were detected with lower autophagic activity and apoptosis levels. The decrease in activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinases (p-JNK) expression suggested EE pretreatment might inhibit autophagy and apoptosis via modulating ER stress-mediated PERK-ATF4-CHOP and IRE1-JNK signal pathways, which provides a new idea for the prevention of the deleterious cerebral and functional consequences of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is known to cause the accumulation of misfolded proteins and loss of calcium homeostasis, leading to impairment of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function and activating the unfolded protein response (UPR). PARP16 is an active (ADP-ribosyl)transferase known tail-anchored ER transmembrane protein with a cytosolic catalytic domain. Here, we find PARP16 is highly expressed in ischemic cerebral hemisphere and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-treated immortalized hippocampal neuronal cell HT22. Using an adeno-associated virus-mediated PARP16 knockdown approach in mice, we find PARP16 knockdown decreases infarct demarcations and has a better neurological outcome after ischemic stroke. Our data indicate PARP16 knockdown decreases ER stress and neuronal death caused by OGD/R, whereas PARP16 overexpression promotes ER stress-mediated cell damage in primary cortical neurons. Furthermore, PARP16 functions mechanistically as ADP-ribosyltransferase to modulate the level of ADP-ribosylation of the corresponding PERK and IRE1α arm of the UPR, and such modifications mediate activation of PERK and IRE1α. Indeed, pharmacological stimulation of the UPR using Brefeldin A partly counteracts PARP16 knockdown-mediated neuronal protection upon OGD/R treatment. In conclusion, PARP16 plays a crucial role in post-ischemic UPR and PARP16 knockdown alleviates brain injury after ischemic stroke. This study demonstrates the potential of the PARP16-PERK/IRE1α axis as a target for neuronal survival in ischemic stroke.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We examined the effects of exogenous protein disulfide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) on hippocampal neurogenesis in gerbils under control and ischemic damage. METHODS To facilitate the delivery of PDIA3 to the brain, we constructed Tat-PDIA3 protein and administered vehicle (10% glycerol) or Tat-PDIA3 protein once a day for 28 days. On day 24 of vehicle or Tat-PDIA3 treatment, ischemia was transiently induced by occlusion of both common carotid arteries for 5 min. RESULTS Administration of Tat-PDIA3 significantly reduced ischemia-induced spontaneous motor activity, and the number of NeuN-positive nuclei in the Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic group was significantly increased in the CA1 region compared to that in the vehicle-treated ischemic group. Ki67- and DCX-immunoreactive cells were significantly higher in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group compared to the vehicle-treated control group. In vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic groups, the number of Ki67- and DCX-immunoreactive cells was significantly higher as compared to those in the vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated control groups, respectively. In the dentate gyrus, the numbers of Ki67-immunoreactive cells were comparable between vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated ischemic groups, while more DCX-immunoreactive cells were observed in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group. Transient forebrain ischemia increased the expression of phosphorylated cAMP-response element-binding protein (pCREB) in the dentate gyrus, but the administration of Tat-PDIA3 robustly increased pCREB-positive nuclei in the normal gerbils, but not in the ischemic gerbils. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA expression was significantly increased in the Tat-PDIA3-treated group compared to that in the vehicle-treated group. Transient forebrain ischemic increased BDNF mRNA levels in both vehicle- and Tat-PDIA3-treated groups, and there were no significant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Tat-PDIA3 enhances cell proliferation and neuroblast numbers in the dentate gyrus in normal, but not in ischemic gerbils, by increasing BDNF mRNA and phosphorylation of pCREB.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in brain injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our recent study demonstrated that ghrelin protected against post-resuscitation brain injury with an elevated expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). However, the effects of ghrelin on mitochondrial dysfunction after CA are not clear. In the present study, the protective role of ghrelin was evaluated on mitochondrial dysfunction and the subsequent damage induced by CA in rats. In addition, mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), an intrinsic cytoprotective pathway, was observed at the same time. Either vehicle (saline) or ghrelin (80 μg/kg) was injected blindly immediately after 6 min of CA and successful resuscitation. Neurological deficit was evaluated 6 h after CA and then cortex was collected for assessments. As a result, we found that ghrelin significantly improved the neurological deficit score in rats after CA. The functional analysis of isolated mitochondria revealed that ghrelin improved the mitochondrial ATP synthesis capacity and significantly reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) leakage after 6 h of CA. Concomitantly, we observed an increased ATP level and an attenuated oxidative stress in ghrelin treated animals. Moreover, ghrelin markedly improved the mitochondrial morphology compared with the vehicle animals. Further research revealed that ghrelin treatment significantly activated the UPRmt as demonstrated by the increased expression of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), heat shock protein 10 (HSP10), caseinolytic protease 1 (CLPP1), and high-temperature requirement protein A2 (HTRA2). Our results suggest that ghrelin protected against cerebral mitochondria dysfunction after CA and the mechanism may involve a UPRmt pathway.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP gene superfamily in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and expression profiling analysis under temperature stress. INSECT SCIENCE 2019; 26:44-57.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are essential molecular chaperones that play important roles in the stress stimulation of insects. Bemisia tabaci, a phloem feeder and invasive species, can cause extensive crop damage through direct feeding and transmission of plant viruses. Here we employed comprehensive genomics approaches to identity HSP superfamily members in the Middle East Asia Minor 1 whitefly genome. In total, we identified 26 Hsp genes, including three Hsp90, 17 Hsp70, one Hsp60 and five sHSP (small heat shock protein) genes. The HSP gene superfamily of whitefly is expanded compared with the other five insects surveyed here. The gene structures among the same families are relatively conserved. Meanwhile, the motif compositions and secondary structures of BtHsp proteins were predicted. In addition, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression patterns of BtHsp gene superfamily were diverse across different tissues of whiteflies. Most Hsp genes were induced or repressed by thermal stress (40°C) and cold treatment (4°C) in whitefly. Silencing the expression of BtHsp70-6 significantly decreased the survival rate of whitefly under 45°C. All the results showed the Hsps conferred thermo-tolerance or cold-tolerance to whiteflies that protect them from being affected by detrimental temperature conditions. Our observations highlighted the molecular evolutionary properties and the response mechanism to temperature assaults of Hsp genes in whitefly.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is characterized by permanent or transient obstruction of blood flow, which initiates a cascading pathological process, starting from acute ATP loss to subsequent membrane depolarization, glutamate excitotoxicity, and calcium overload. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant that exerts protective effects in different experimental stroke models. In this study, melatonin effects were demonstrated by a proteomic and in silico approach. The proteomic study identified differentially expressed proteins by 2D gel electrophoresis in the striatum 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Proteomic analysis revealed several proteins with aberrant expression and was validated by western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. Homology modeling was performed to build 3D structures for γ-enolase, thioredoxin (TRX), and heat shock 60 (HSP60) by the template crystal structures using a protein data bank as a sequence database. The structure refinement of each model was achieved by energy minimization via molecular dynamic simulation, and the generated models were further assessed for stability by Procheck and ProSA. The models were processed for docking analysis using AutoDock Vina, and post-docking analysis was determined by discovery studio. The proteomic study showed decreased expression of γ-enolase, TRX, and protein phosphatase 2A subunit B and increased expression of collapsin response mediator protein 2 and HSP60 in the striatum after ischemic injury. Treatment with melatonin modulated the expression profiles of these proteins. This study demonstrated the neuroprotective role of melatonin in the ischemic striatum using a proteomic and in silico approach. Collectively, melatonin may act in a multimechanistic way by modulating the expression of several proteins in the ischemic striatum.

Protein disulfide-isomerase A3 significantly reduces ischemia-induced damage by reducing oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Neurochem Int 2018; 122:19-30. [PMID: 30399388 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2018.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 11/02/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Ischemia causes oxidative stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), accelerates the accumulation of unfolded and misfolded proteins, and may ultimately lead to neuronal cell apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3), an ER-resident chaperone that catalyzes disulfide-bond formation in a subset of glycoproteins, against oxidative damage in the hypoxic HT22 cell line and against ischemic damage in the gerbil hippocampus. We also confirmed the neuroprotective effects of PDIA3 by using PDIA3-knockout HAP1 cells. The HT22 and HAP1 cell lines showed effective (dose-dependent and time-dependent) penetration and stable expression of the Tat-PDIA3 fusion protein 24 h after Tat-PDIA3 treatment compared to that in the control-PDIA3-treated group. We observed that the fluorescence for both 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), which are markers for the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced reactive oxygen species and apoptosis, respectively, was higher in HAP1 cells than in HT22 cells. The administration of Tat-PDIA3 significantly reduced the (1) DCF-DA and TUNEL fluorescence in HT22 and HAP1 cells, (2) ischemia-induced hyperactivity that was observed 1 day after ischemia/reperfusion, (3) ischemia-induced neuronal damage and glial (astrocytes and microglia) activation that was observed in the hippocampal CA1 region 4 days after ischemia/reperfusion, and (4) lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide generation in the hippocampal homogenates 3-12 h after ischemia/reperfusion. Transient forebrain ischemia significantly elevated the immunoglobulin-binding protein (BiP) and C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) mRNA levels in the hippocampus at 12 h and 4 days after ischemia, relative to those in the time-matched sham-operated group. Administration of Tat-PDIA3 ameliorated the ischemia-induced upregulation of BiP mRNA levels versus the Tat peptide- or control-PDIA3-treated groups, and significantly reduced the induction of CHOP mRNA levels, at 12 h or 4 days after ischemia. Collectively, these results suggest that Tat-PDIA3 acts as a neuroprotective agent against ischemia by attenuating oxidative damage and blocking the apoptotic pathway that is related to the unfolded protein response in the ER.

Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 108:1596-1606. [PMID: 30372862 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.09.167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2018] [Revised: 09/27/2018] [Accepted: 09/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is vital in inducing apoptosis via caspase-12 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) apoptotic pathway in the hippocampus after ischemia-reperfusion injury. The study aimed to estimate the efficacy of estrogen and propofol combination therapy against ERS-induced apoptosis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in the hippocampus in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was generated by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) strategy with ischemic intervention for 90 min and reperfusion for 24 h. Propofol processing ischemia-reperfusion group (Propofol group) infused 50 mg/kg/h of propofol via the femoral vein at the onset of reperfusion for 30 min. Estrogen processing ischemia-reperfusion group (estrogen group) received 0.0125 mg/kg of estrogen via tail vein at 30 min prior to MCAO. Combination therapy for ischemia-reperfusion group (combination group) received simultaneous processing with propofol and estrogen. In vitro, brain slices were randomly exposed to dimethylsulfoxide (DSMO), 10 μm of propofol, 10 nm of estrogen, or propofol and estrogen. Changes in the orthodromic population spike (OPS) at the end of reoxygenation were recorded. Neurological deficit examination, Nissl staining, and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining were employed to evaluate the level of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The expression of caspase-3, caspase-12, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), and CHOP were investigated by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining assays. Neural apoptotic rate in hippocampus was detected by the flow cytometry trial. RESULTS Neurological deficit score, infarct volume, the expression of caspase-3 (P < 0.05), caspase-12, GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate of I/R group increased markedly (P < 0.01). When obtaining drug treatment, neurological deficit score (P < 0.05), infarct volume, the expression levels of caspase-12 and GRP78, and neural apoptotic rate of the propofol group decreased significantly (P < 0.01). Furthermore, neurological deficit score, infarct volume, expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-12, GRP78, and CHOP (P < 0.05), and neural apoptotic rate decreased in the estrogen group (P < 0.01) and especially in the combination group (P < 0.01). Compared with the propofol group, the neurological deficit score (P < 0.05), infarct volume, caspase-3, caspase-12, GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate of the combination group decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the estrogen group, the infarct volume, caspase-3 (P < 0.05), GRP78, CHOP, and neural apoptotic rate (P < 0.05) of the combination group decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the propofol group, the infarct volume, caspase-3, caspase-12 (P < 0.05), and GRP78 (P < 0.05) of the estrogen group decreased (P < 0.01). Propofol and estrogen treatment can delay the abolishing time of OPS and increase the recovery rate and amplitude of OPS, compared with OGD group (P < 0.01), especially in the combination therapy (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The neuroprotection of propofol and estrogen combination therapy inhibited excessive ERS-induced apoptosis against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and OGD injury in the hippocampus of rats. Furthermore, the outcomes demonstrated that combination therapy yielded synergistic effects.

Abstract
Agaricus blazei Murill polysaccharide (ABP) has exhibited antioxidant and immunoregulatory activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ABP on cadmium (Cd)-induced antioxidant functions and inflammatory damage in chicken spleens. In this study, groups of 7-day-old chickens were fed with normal saline (0.2 mL single/day), CdCl2 (140 mg/kg/day), ABP (30 mg/mL, 0.2 mL single/day), and Cd + ABP (140 mg/kg/day + 0.2 mL ABP). Spleens were separated on the 20th, 40th, and 60th day for each group. The Cd contents, expression of melanoma-associated differentiation gene 5 (MDA5) and its downstream signaling molecules (interferon promoter-stimulating factor 1 (IPS-1), transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), and nuclear factor kappa-light chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)), the content of cytokines (interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and beta interferon (IFN-β)), protein levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs), levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and histopathological changes of spleens were detected on the 20th, 40th, and 60th day. The results showed that ABP significantly reduced the accumulation of Cd in the chicken spleens and reduced the expression of MDA5, IPS-1, IRF-3, and NF-κB; their downstream inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-β; and the protein levels of HSPs (HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90) in spleens. The activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and GSH-Px) significantly increased, and the level of MDA decreased in the ABP + Cd group. The results indicate that ABP has a protective effect on Cd-induced damage in chicken spleens.

Bicuculline Reverts the Neuroprotective Effects of Meloxicam in an Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation (OGD) Model of Organotypic Hippocampal Slice Cultures. Neuroscience 2018; 386:68-78. [PMID: 29949743 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2018.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2018] [Revised: 05/25/2018] [Accepted: 06/18/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent meloxicam has neuroprotective effects in an oxygen and glucose deprivation model (OGD) of rat organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. We wondered if GABAergic transmission changed the neuroprotective effects of meloxicam and if meloxicam was able to modulate endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) in this model. Mortality was measured using propidium iodide. Western blot assays were performed to measure levels of cleaved and non-cleaved caspase-3 to quantify apoptosis, while levels of GRP78, GRP94 and phosphorylated eIF2α were used to detect unfolded protein response (UPR). Transcript levels of GRP78, GRP94 and GABAergic receptor α, β, and γ subunits were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In the present study, we show that the presence of meloxicam in a 30 min OGD assay, followed by 24 h of normoxic conditions, presented an antiapoptotic effect. The simultaneous presence of the GABAA receptor antagonist, bicuculline, in combination with meloxicam blocked the neuroprotective effect provided by the latter. However, in light of its effects on caspase 3 and PARP, bicuculline did not seem to promote the apoptotic pathway. Our results also showed that meloxicam modified the unfolded protein response (UPR), as well as the transcriptional response of different genes, including the GABAA receptor, alpha1, beta3 and gamma2 subunits. We concluded that meloxicam has a neuroprotective anti-apoptotic action, is able to enhance the UPR independently of the systemic anti-inflammatory response and its neuroprotective effect can be inhibited by blocking GABAA receptors.

Abstract
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare neurodegenerative disease, the main pathological hallmarks of which associate with diabetes, optic atrophy, and deafness. Other symptoms may be identified in some but not all patients. Prognosis is poor, with death occurring around 35 years of age. To date, no treatment is available. WS was first described as a mitochondriopathy. However, the localization of the protein on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane challenged this hypothesis. ER contacts mitochondria to ensure effective Ca2+ transfer, lipids transfer, and apoptosis within stabilized and functionalized microdomains, termed “mitochondria-associated ER membranes” (MAMs). Two types of WS are characterized so far and Wolfram syndrome type 2 is due to mutation in CISD2, a protein mostly expressed in MAMs. The aim of the present review is to collect evidences showing that WS is indeed a mitochondriopathy, with established MAM dysfunction, and thus share commonalities with several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as metabolic diseases, such as diabetes.

Abstract
In the present study, we searched for possible candidates that can prevent ischemic damage in the rabbit spinal cord. For this study, we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, in sham- and ischemia-operated animals. As the level of protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) significantly decreased 3 h after ischemia/reperfusion, we further investigated its possible role against ischemic damage using an in vitro spinal cord cell line and in vivo spinal cord ischemic model. The administration of Tat-PDIA3 significantly reduced the hydrogen peroxide-induced formation of reactive oxygen species and cell death, based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated dUTP nick end labeling and a colorimetric WST-1 assay. Further, Tat-PDIA3 significantly ameliorated the ischemia-induced deficits in motor function, based on Tarlov's criteria, 24-72 h after ischemia/reperfusion, as well as the degeneration of motor neurons in the ventral horn 72 h after ischemia/reperfusion. Tat-PDIA3 administration also reduced the ischemia-induced activation of microglia and lipid peroxidation in the motor neurons 72 h after ischemia/reperfusion. PDIA3 also potentially ameliorated the ischemia-induced increase in oxidative markers in serum and decreased the activity of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, Mn-superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase in spinal cord homogenates, 24 h and 72 h after ischemia/reperfusion. These results suggest that Tat-PDIA3 could be used to protect spinal cord neurons from ischemic damage, due to its modulatory action on the oxidative/anti-oxidative balance. Tat-PDIA3 could be applicable to protects neurons from the ischemic damage induced by thoracoabdominal aorta obstruction.

Abstract
Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, as a result of chronic, subacute, and acute insults, represents the pathological consequence of fetal distress and birth or perinatal asphyxia, that is, “nonreassuring fetal status.” Hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII) is typically characterized by an early phase of damage, followed by a delayed inflammatory local response, in an apoptosis-necrosis continuum. In the early phase, the cytotoxic edema and eventual acute lysis take place; with reperfusion, additional damage should be assigned to excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. Finally, a later phase involves all the inflammatory activity and long-term neural tissue repairing and remodeling. In this model mechanism, loss of mitochondrial function is supposed to be the hallmark of secondary injury progression, and autophagy which is lysosome-mediated play a role in enhancing brain injury. Early-induced molecules driven by hypoxia, as chaperonins HSPs and ORP150, besides common markers for inflammatory responses, have predictive value in timing the onset of neonatal HII; on the other hand, clinical biomarkers for HII diagnosis, as CK-BB, LDH, S-100beta, and NSE, could be useful to predict outcomes.

Abstract
Background Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a new candidate growth factor for dopaminergic neurons against endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress). HSP70 family, a chaperon like heat shock protein family, was proved to be involved in the MANF induced survival pathway in 6-OHDA treated SHSY-5Y cells. However, the ER stress relative transcriptome, in MANF signaling cascades is still investigated. The involvement of HSP70, a 70kd member of HSP70 family, need further to be verified. Methods The cell apoptosis was assayed by MTT, TUNEL staining and western blot of cleaved Caspase-3. The differentially expressed genes in SHSY-5Y cells under different conditions (control, 6-OHDA, 6-OHDA + MANF) were investigated by RNA-seq. Expression of HSP70 was further confirmed by real-time PCR. RNAi knockdown for HSP70 was performed to investigate the role of HSP70 in the MANF signaling pathway. Results MANF inhibits 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis in SHSY-5Y cells. Six ER stress relative genes (HSP70, GRP78, xbp-1, ATF-4, ATF-6, MAPK) were found enriched in 6-OHDA + MANF treatment group. HSP70 was the most significantly up-regulated gene under 6-OHDA + MANF treatment in SHSY-5Y cells. RNAi knockdown for HSP70 inhibits the protective effects of MANF against 6-OHDA toxicity in SHSY-5Y cells. Conclusion MANF exerts a protective role against 6-OHDA induced apoptosis in SHSY-5Y cells via up-regulating some ER stress genes, including HSP70 family members. The HSP70 expression level plays a key role in MANF-mediated survival pathway.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly controlled lysosome-mediated function in eukaryotic cells to eliminate damaged or aged long-lived proteins and organelles. It is required for restoring cellular homeostasis in cell survival under multiple stresses. Autophagy is known to be a double-edged sword because too much activation or inhibition of autophagy can disrupt homeostatic degradation of protein and organelles within the brain and play a role in neuronal cell death. Many factors affect autophagy flux function in the brain, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative stress, and aging. Newly emerged research indicates that altered autophagy flux functionality is involved in neurodegeneration of the aged brain, chronic neurological diseases, and after traumatic and ischemic brain injuries. In search to identify neuroprotective agents that may reduce oxidative stress and stimulate autophagy, one particular neuroprotective agent docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) presents unique functions in reducing ER and oxidative stress and modulating autophagy. This review will summarize the recent findings on changes of autophagy in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and brain injury after trauma or ischemic strokes. Discussion of DHA functions is focused on modulating ER stress and autophagy in regard to its neuroprotection and anti-tumor functions.

Abstract
There is growing appreciation that mRNA regulation plays important roles in disease and injury. mRNA regulation and ribonomics occur in brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) following stroke and cardiac arrest and resuscitation. It was recognized over 40 years ago that translation arrest (TA) accompanies brain I/R and is now recognized as part of the intrinsic stress responses triggered in neurons. However, neuron death correlates to a prolonged TA in cells fated to undergo delayed neuronal death (DND). Dysfunction of mRNA regulatory processes in cells fated to DND prevents them from translating stress-induced mRNAs such as heat shock proteins. The morphological and biochemical studies of mRNA regulation in postischemic neurons are discussed in the context of the large variety of molecular damage induced by ischemic injury. Open issues and areas of future investigation are highlighted. A sober look at the molecular complexity of ischemia-induced neuronal injury suggests that a network framework will assist in making sense of this complexity. The ribonomic network sits between the gene network and the various protein and metabolic networks. Thus, targeting the ribonomic network may prove more effective at neuroprotection than targeting specific molecular pathways, for which all efforts have failed to the present time to stop DND in stroke and after cardiac arrest.

Brain Res Bull 2016; 128:40-47. [PMID: 27871950 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2016.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2016] [Revised: 11/13/2016] [Accepted: 11/16/2016] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Homocysteine-inducible endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducible ubiquitin-like domain member 1 protein (HERPUD1) is involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Immense amounts of research showed HERPUD1 plays multiple roles in various models. In this work, we explored the role of HERPUD1 during the pathophysiological processes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Rat ICH model was established and verified by behavioral test. Western blot and immunohistochemistry revealed a significant up-regulation of HERPUD1 expression around the hematoma after ICH. Besides, the expression of cytochrome c (cyt c) and active caspase-3 increased accompanied to HERPUD1 expression. Double-labeled immunofluorescence indicated HERPUD1 mainly colocalized with neurons. Further study showed HERPUD1 silence brought about up-regulation of apoptosis markers including cyt c and active caspase-3 coupled with increased cell apoptosis in vitro model. All these findings suggested that HERPUD1 might play a protective role in ICH-induced neuronal apoptosis in rat models.

Abstract
In neurological disorders, both acute and chronic neural stress can disrupt cellular proteostasis, resulting in the generation of pathological protein. However in most cases, neurons adapt to these proteostatic perturbations by activating a range of cellular protective and repair responses, thus maintaining cell function. These interconnected adaptive mechanisms comprise a 'proteostasis network' and include the unfolded protein response, the ubiquitin proteasome system and autophagy. Interestingly, several recent studies have shown that these adaptive responses can be stimulated by preconditioning treatments, which confer resistance to a subsequent toxic challenge - the phenomenon known as hormesis. In this review we discuss the impact of adaptive stress responses stimulated in diverse human neuropathologies including Parkinson׳s disease, Wolfram syndrome, brain ischemia, and brain cancer. Further, we examine how these responses and the molecular pathways they recruit might be exploited for therapeutic gain. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled SI:ER stress.

Urinary congophilia in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preexisting proteinuria or hypertension. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2016; 215:464.e1-7. [PMID: 27133010 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2016.04.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2015] [Revised: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/21/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Congophilia indicates the presence of amyloid protein, which is an aggregate of misfolded proteins, that is implicated in the pathophysiologic condition of preeclampsia. Recently, urinary congophilia has been proposed as a test for the diagnosis and prediction of preeclampsia. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether urine congophilia is present in a cohort of women with preeclampsia and in pregnant and nonpregnant women with renal disease. STUDY DESIGN With the use of a preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, renal disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus cohort, we analyzed urine samples from healthy pregnant control subjects (n = 31) and pregnant women with preeclampsia (n = 23), gestational hypertension (n = 10), chronic hypertension (n = 14), chronic kidney disease; n = 28), chronic kidney disease with superimposed preeclampsia (n = 5), and chronic hypertension and superimposed preeclampsia (n = 12). Samples from nonpregnant control subjects (n = 10) and nonpregnant women with either systemic lupus erythematosus with (n = 25) and without (n = 14) lupus nephritis were analyzed. For each sample, protein concentration was standardized before it was mixed with Congo Red, spotted to nitrocellulose membrane, and rinsed with methanol. The optical density of the residual Congo Red stain was determined; Congo red stain retention was calculated, and groups were compared with the use of the Mann-Whitney test or Kruskal-Wallis analysis of Variance test, as appropriate. RESULTS Congophilia was increased in urine from women with preeclampsia (median Congo red stain retention, 47%; interquartile range, 22-68%) compared with healthy pregnant control subjects (Congo red stain retention: 16%; interquartile range, 13-21%; P = .002), women with gestational hypertension (Congo red stain retention, 20%; interquartile range, 13-27%; P = .008), or women with chronic hypertension (Congo red stain retention, 17%; interquartile range, 12-28%; P = .01). There were no differences in Congo red retention between pregnant women with chronic hypertension and normal pregnant control subjects (Congo red stain retention, 17% [interquartile range, 12-28%] vs 16% [interquartile range, 13-21%], respectively; P = .72). Congophilia was present in pregnant women with chronic kidney disease (Congo red stain retention, 32%; interquartile range, 14-57%), being similar to values found in women with preeclampsia (P = .22) and for women with chronic kidney disease and superimposed preeclampsia (Congo red stain retention, 57%; [interquartile range, 29-71%; P = .18). Nonpregnant women with lupus nephritis had higher congophilia levels compared with nonpregnant female control subjects (Congo red stain retention, 38% [interquartile range, 17-73%] vs 9% [7-11%], respectively; P < .001) and nonpregnant women with systemic lupus erythematosus without nephritis (Congo red stain retention, 38% [interquartile range, 17-73%] vs 13% [interquartile range, 11-17%], respectively; P = .001). A significant positive correlation was observed between congophilia and protein:creatinine ratio (Spearman rank correlations, 0.702; 95% confidence interval, 0.618-0.770; P < .001). CONCLUSION This study confirms that women with preeclampsia and chronic kidney disease without preeclampsia have elevated urine congophilia levels compared with healthy pregnant women. Nonpregnant women with lupus nephritis also have elevated urine congophilia levels compared with healthy control subjects. An elevated Congo Red stain retention may not be able to differentiate between these conditions; further research is required to explore the use of congophilia in clinical practice.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of dietary Molybdenum (Mo) or/and Cadmium (Cd) on trace elements and the mRNA expression levels of heat shock proteins (Hsps) and inflammatory cytokines in duck livers. 240 healthy 11-day-old ducks were randomly divided into six groups with 40 ducks in each group, which were treated with Mo or/and Cd at different doses on the basal diet for 120 days. On days 30, 60, 90 and 120, 10 birds in each group were randomly selected and euthanized and then the livers were collected to determine the contents of Mo, Cd, copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zine (Zn), Selenium (Se) and the mRNA expression levels of Hsps, inflammatory cytokines. In addition, liver tissues at 120 days were subjected to histopathological analysis with the optical microscope. The results showed that the mRNA expression of Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were significantly (P<0.01) upregulated in combination groups; Contents of Cu, Fe, Zn, and Se decreased in combined groups (P<0.05) in the later period of the test while contents of Mo and Cd significantly increased (P<0.01); Furthermore severe hepatocyte diffuse fatty, hepatic cords swelling, hepatic sinusoid disappeared, and inflammatory cells infiltrated around the hepatic central vein were observed in Mo combined with Cd groups. The results indicated that dietary Mo or/and Cd might lead to stress, inflammatory response, tissue damage and disturb homeostasis of trace elements in duck livers. Moreover the two elements showed a possible synergistic relationship. And the high mRNA expression of HSPs and inflammatory cytokines may play a role in the resistance of liver toxicity induced by Mo and Cd.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy are two cellular processes involved in the clearing of intracellular misfolded proteins. Both pathways are targets for molecules that may serve as treatments for several diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present work, we show that 2-hydroxy-DHA (HDHA), a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) derivate that restores cognitive function in a transgenic mouse model of AD, modulates UPR and autophagy in differentiated neuron-like SH-SY5Y cells. Mild therapeutic HDHA exposure induced UPR activation, characterized by the up-regulation of the molecular chaperone Bip as well as PERK-mediated stimulation of eIF2α phosphorylation. Key proteins involved in initiating autophagy, such as beclin-1, and several Atg proteins involved in autophagosome maturation (Atg3, Atg5, Atg12 and Atg7), were also up-regulated on exposure to HDHA. Moreover, when HDHA-mediated autophagy was studied after amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) stimulation to mimic the neurotoxic environment of AD, it was associated with increased cell survival, suggesting that HDHA driven modulation of this process at least in part mediates the neuroprotective effects of this new anti-neurodegenerative drug. The present results in part explain the pharmacological effects of HDHA inducing full recovery of the cognitive scores in murine models of AD.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that adiponectin (APN) attenuates cerebral ischemic/reperfusion via globular adiponectin (gAD). However, the therapeutic role of gAD in cerebral ischemic injury in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains unclear. Our results showed that gAD improved neurological scores and reduced the infarct volumes in the 8-week T1DM (T1DM-8W) mice, but not in the 2-week T1DM (T1DM-2W) mice. Moreover, the ischemic penumbra APN levels increased and peaked in T1DM-2W mice, and reduced to normal in T1DM-8W mice, while the APN receptor 1 (AdipoR1) expression change was the opposite. Administration of rosiglitazone in T1DM-2W mice up-regulated the expression of AdipoR1 and restored the neuroprotection of gAD, while intracerebroventricular injection of AdipoR1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) in T1DM-8W mice reversed it. Furthermore, the expression of p-PERK, p-IRE1 and GRP78 were increased whereas the expressions of CHOP and cleaved caspase-12 as well as the number of apoptotic neurons were decreased after gAD treatment in T1DM-8W mice. These beneficial effects of gAD were reversed by pretreatment with AdipoR1 siRNA. These results demonstrated a dynamic dysfunction of APN/AdipoR1 accompanying T1DM progression. Interventions bolstering AdipoR1 expression during early stages and gAD supplementation during advanced stages may potentially reduce the cerebral ischemic injury in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Despite dramatic improvement in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other techniques for cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors continue to show signs of decreased memory or executive cognitive function. Such memory impairment may be due to hippocampal CA1 neuronal death, which is delayed by several days after CA/CPR. Classical microgliosis in the CA1 region may contribute to neuronal death, yet the role of a key activation receptor Toll Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) has not been previously investigated for such neuronal death after CA/CPR. We show that (+)-naltrexone was neuroprotective after CA/CPR. TLR4 blockade was associated with decreased expression of markers for microglial/macrophage activation and T cell and B cell infiltration, as well as decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, IL-10 expression was elevated in response to CA/CPR, but was not attenuated by (+)-naltrexone, suggesting that the local monocyte/microglial phenotype had shifted towards alternative activation. This was confirmed by elevated expression of Arginase-1, and decreased expression of NFκB p65 subunit. Thus, (+)-naltrexone and other TLR4 antagonists may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to alleviate the substantial burden of memory or executive cognitive function impairment after CA/CPR.

Abstract
Cellular stress response after hypoxia-Ischemia (HI) may be substantially different between immature and mature brains. To study this phenomenon, postnatal day 7 (P7) and P26 rats were subjected to HI followed by different periods of recovery. Nuclear accumulation of heat-shock transcription factor-1 (HSF1) and expression of molecular chaperone proteins and mRNAs were analyzed by in situ hybridization, Western blotting and confocal microscopy. Nuclear accumulation of HSF1 protein and induction of hsp70 mRNA occurred dramatically in P26 neurons, but minimally in P7 neurons and moderately in microglial cells after HI. Consistently, the level of HSF1 was significantly higher in P26 brain samples, compared with that in P7 brain. Translation of hsp70 mRNA into proteins in P26 mature neurons was seen at 4h and peaked at 24h, when some neurons had already died after HI. Induction of ER glucose-regulated protein-78 (grp78) and mitochondrial hsp60 mRNAs and proteins was moderate and occurred also only in P26 mature brain after HI. These results suggest that the cellular stress response after HI is development-dependent, being pronounced in mature but virtually negligible in neonatal neurons. Therefore, the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies targeting the stress pathway against HI may be significantly different between immature and mature brains. The delayed induction of molecular chaperones in mature brain may be somewhat late for protecting HI neurons from acute HI injury.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for processing of proteins that are destined to be secreted, enclosed in a vesicle, or incorporated in the plasma membrane. Nascent peptides that enter the ER undergo a series of highly regulated processing steps to reach maturation as they transit the ER. Alterations in the intracellular environment that induce ER stress are thought to interrupt these processing steps, and result in unfolding of proteins in the ER. Accumulation of unfolded proteins concurrently activates three transmembrane stress sensors, IRE1, ATF6 and PERK, and is referred to as the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). Our understanding of the mechanisms of UPR induction has been assembled primarily from experiments inducing ER stress with chemical and genetic manipulations. However, physiological stress often induces activation of ER stress sensors in a distinct manner from the canonical UPR. The unique activation profiles in vivo have prompted us to examine the mechanism of UPR activation in neurons following cerebral ischemia.

Protein disulfide isomerase as a novel target for cyclopentenone prostaglandins: implications for hypoxic ischemic injury. FEBS J 2015; 282:2045-59. [PMID: 25754985 DOI: 10.1111/febs.13259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2014] [Revised: 02/10/2015] [Accepted: 03/05/2015] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an important contributor to ischemic brain injury. Identification of the downstream mediators of COX-2 toxicity may allow the development of targeted therapies. Of particular interest is the cyclopentenone family of prostaglandin metabolites. Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (CyPGs) are highly reactive molecules that form covalent bonds with cellular thiols. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an important molecule for the restoration of denatured proteins following ischemia. Because PDI has several thiols, including thiols within the active thioredoxin-like domain, we hypothesized that PDI is a target of CyPGs and that CyPG binding of PDI is detrimental. CyPG-PDI binding was detected in vitro via immunoprecipitation and MS. CyPG-PDI binding decreased PDI enzymatic activity in recombinant PDI treated with CyPG, and PDI immunoprecipitated from neuronal culture treated with CyPG or anoxia. Toxic effects of binding were demonstrated in experiments showing that: (a) pharmacologic inhibition of PDI increased cell death in anoxic neurons, (b) PDI overexpression protected neurons exposed to anoxia and SH-SY5Y cells exposed to CyPG, and (c) PDI overexpression in SH-SY5Y cells attenuated ubiquitination of proteins and decreased activation of pro-apoptotic caspases. In conclusion, CyPG production and subsequent binding of PDI is a novel and potentially important mechanism of ischemic brain injury. We show that CyPGs bind to PDI, cyclopentenones inhibit PDI activity, and CyPG-PDI binding is associated with increased neuronal susceptibility to anoxia. Additional studies are necessary to determine the relative role of CyPG-dependent inhibition of PDI activity in ischemia and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Intrathecal heat shock protein 60 mediates neurodegeneration and demyelination in the CNS through a TLR4- and MyD88-dependent pathway. Mol Neurodegener 2015; 10:5. [PMID: 25887709 PMCID: PMC4365525 DOI: 10.1186/s13024-015-0003-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2014] [Accepted: 02/03/2015] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Toll-like receptors (TLR) constitute a highly conserved class of receptors through which the innate immune system responds to both pathogen- and host-derived factors. Although TLRs are involved in a wide range of central nervous system (CNS) disorders including neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular events leading from CNS injury to activation of these innate immune receptors remain elusive. The stress protein heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) released from injured cells is considered an endogenous danger signal of the immune system. In this context, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of extracellular HSP60 on the brain in vivo. Results We show here that HSP60 injected intrathecally causes neuronal and oligodendrocyte injury in the CNS in vivo through TLR4-dependent signaling. Intrathecal HSP60 results in neuronal cell death, axonal injury, loss of oligodendrocytes, and demyelination in the cerebral cortex of wild-type mice. In contrast both mice lacking TLR4 and the TLR adaptor molecule MyD88 are protected against deleterious effects induced by HSP60. In contrast to the exogenous TLR4 ligand, lipopolysaccharide, intrathecal HSP60 does not induce such a considerable inflammatory response in the brain. In the CNS, endogenous HSP60 is predominantly expressed in neurons and released during brain injury, since the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from animals of a mouse stroke model contains elevated levels of this stress protein compared to the CSF of sham-operated mice. Conclusions Our data show a direct toxic effect of HSP60 towards neurons and oligodendrocytes in the CNS. The fact that these harmful effects involve TLR4 and MyD88 confirms a molecular pathway mediated by the release of endogenous TLR ligands from injured CNS cells common to many forms of brain diseases that bi-directionally links CNS injury and activation of the innate immune system to neurodegeneration and demyelination in vivo.

Abstract
Due to widely commercial applications of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), toxicity assessment of this NP is of great importance. This study aimed to investigate the oxidative stress and heat shock response of Ag NPs at different doses to A549 and HepG2 cells. After treatment with different concentrations of Ag NPs for 24 h, oxidative damage indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-epi-PGF2α, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) concentrations and protein levels of heat shock protein A1A (HSPA1A) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) were determined. Ag NPs induced dose-dependent increases in MDA, 8-epi-PGF2α, and 8-oxo-dG concentrations in both A549 and HepG2 cells. Stress-inducible HSPA1A and HO-1 were also significantly upregulated in a dose-dependent manner. A higher level of HSPA1A and HO-1 activation by Ag NPs occurred in HepG2 cells than that in A549 cells. Compared with that of HSPA1A, Ag NPs induced a stronger increase in protein level of HO-1 in both cell lines. Significant positive correlations between protein levels of HSPA1A and HO-1 and oxidative damage were also observed. In conclusion, Ag NPs could induce oxidative stress in human cell lines. In addition to the products of oxidative stress such as MDA and 8-oxo-dG, HSPs can be used as potential biomarkers in nanotoxicity assessment, especially HO-1.

Abstract
Human Luman/CREB3 is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor involved in regulation of the unfolded protein response, dendritic cell maturation, and cell migration. But despite reported expression in primary sensory neurons, little is known about its role in the nervous system. To begin investigations into its role in the adult rat nervous system, the rat Luman/CREB3 coding sequence was isolated so its expression within the nervous system could be determined. The rat Luman/CREB3 clone contains a full-length open reading frame encoding 387 amino acids. The recombinant protein generated from this clone activated transcription in a manner equivalent to human Luman/CREB3 from a CAT reporter plasmid construct containing the unfolded protein response element. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that rat Luman/CREB3 transcripts in a variety of rat tissues with the highest levels in nervous system tissue. In situ hybridization performed on tissue sections confirmed the findings and demonstrated that the Luman/CREB3 mRNA hybridization signal localizes to neurons and satellite glial cells in dorsal root ganglia, the cytoplasm of hepatocytes in liver, and the hippocampal pyramidal cell layers of CA1 and CA3 and the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus. Collectively, these findings support a role for Luman/CREB3 in the regulation of nervous system function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic reprogramming is thought to be, at least in part, responsible for the protective effect of brain preconditioning. Unraveling mechanisms of this endogenous neuroprotection, activated by preconditioning, is an important step towards new clinical strategies for treating asphyctic neonates.Therefore, we investigated whole-genome transcriptional changes in the brain of rats which underwent perinatal asphyxia (PA), and rats where PA was preceded by fetal asphyctic preconditioning (FAPA). Offspring were sacrificed 6 h and 96 h after birth, and whole-genome transcription was investigated using the Affymetrix Gene1.0ST chip. Microarray data were analyzed with the Bioconductor Limma package. In addition to univariate analysis, we performed Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) in order to derive results with maximum biological relevance. RESULTS We observed minimal, 25% or less, overlap of differentially regulated transcripts across different experimental groups which leads us to conclude that the transcriptional phenotype of these groups is largely unique. In both the PA and FAPA group we observe an upregulation of transcripts involved in cellular stress. Contrastingly, transcripts with a function in the cell nucleus were mostly downregulated in PA animals, while we see considerable upregulation in the FAPA group. Furthermore, we observed that histone deacetylases (HDACs) are exclusively regulated in FAPA animals. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to investigate whole-genome transcription in the neonatal brain after PA alone, and after perinatal asphyxia preceded by preconditioning (FAPA). We describe several genes/pathways, such as ubiquitination and proteolysis, which were not previously linked to preconditioning-induced neuroprotection. Furthermore, we observed that the majority of upregulated genes in preconditioned animals have a function in the cell nucleus, including several epigenetic players such as HDACs, which suggests that epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play a role in preconditioning-induced neuroprotection.

Abstract
Chinese herbal medicine formula Tao Hong Si Wu decoction (THSWD) is traditionally used in China for cerebrovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of THSWD associated with the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury are largely unknown. The current study applied the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-based proteomics to investigate the different protein profiles in PC12 cells with and without the treatment of THSWD. Twenty-six proteins affected by THSWD were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Gene ontology analysis showed that those proteins participated in several important biological processes and exhibited diverse molecular functions. In particular, six of them were found to be phase II antioxidant enzymes, which were regulated by NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2). Quantitative PCR further confirmed a dose-dependent induction of the six phase II enzymes by THSWD at the transcription level. Moreover, the individual ingredients of THSWD were discovered to synergistically contribute to the induction of phase II enzymes. Importantly, THSWD's protection against oxygen-glucose deprivation-reperfusion (OGD-Rep) induced cell death was significantly attenuated by antioxidant response element (ARE) decoy oligonucleotides, suggesting the protection of THSWD may be likely regulated at least in part by Nrf2-mediated phase II enzymes. Thus, our data will help to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effect of THSWD.

Abstract
Ischemic brain injury is a common disorder linked to a variety of diseases. Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Previous studies show that protein misfolding, aggregation, and multiple organelle damage are major pathological events in postischemic neurons. The autophagy pathway is the chief route for bulk degradation of protein aggregates and damaged organelles. The latest studies suggest that impairment of autophagy contributes to abnormal protein aggregation and organelle damages after brain ischemia. This article reviews recent studies of protein misfolding, aggregation, and impairment of autophagy after brain ischemia.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a catalytic machinery that targets numerous cellular proteins for degradation, thus being essential to control a wide range of basic cellular processes and cell survival. Degradation of intracellular proteins via the UPS is a tightly regulated process initiated by tagging a target protein with a specific ubiquitin chain. Neurons are particularly vulnerable to any change in protein composition, and therefore the UPS is a key regulator of neuronal physiology. Alterations in UPS activity may induce pathological responses, ultimately leading to neuronal cell death. Brain ischemia triggers a complex series of biochemical and molecular mechanisms, such as an inflammatory response, an exacerbated production of misfolded and oxidized proteins, due to oxidative stress, and the breakdown of cellular integrity mainly mediated by excitotoxic glutamatergic signaling. Brain ischemia also damages protein degradation pathways which, together with the overproduction of damaged proteins and consequent upregulation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins, contribute to the accumulation of ubiquitin-containing proteinaceous deposits. Despite recent advances, the factors leading to deposition of such aggregates after cerebral ischemic injury remain poorly understood. This review discusses the current knowledge on the role of the UPS in brain function and the molecular mechanisms contributing to UPS dysfunction in brain ischemia with consequent accumulation of ubiquitin-containing proteins. Chemical inhibitors of the proteasome and small molecule inhibitors of deubiquitinating enzymes, which promote the degradation of proteins by the proteasome, were both shown to provide neuroprotection in brain ischemia, and this apparent contradiction is also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Heroin (3,6-diacetylmorphine) has various effects on the central nervous system with several neuropathological alterations including hypoxic-ischemic brain damage from respiratory depressing effects and neuroinflammatory response. Both of these mechanisms induce the release of cytokines, chemokines and other inflammatory mediators by the activation of many cell types such as leucocytes and endothelial and glial cells, especially microglia, the predominant immunocompetent cell type within the central nervous system. The aim of this study is to clarify the correlation between intravenous heroin administration in heroin related death and the neuroinflammatory response. We selected 45 cases among autopsies executed for heroin-related death (358 total cases); immunohistochemical studies and Western blotting analyses were used to investigate the expression of brain markers such as tumor necrosis factor-α, oxygen-regulated protein 150, (interleukins) IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, cyclooxygenase-2, heat shock protein 70, and CD68 (MAC387). Findings demonstrated that morphine induces inflammatory response and cytokine release. In particular, oxygen-regulated protein 150, cyclooxygenase-2, heat shock protein 70, IL-6 and IL-15 cytokines were over-expressed with different patterns of cellular expression.

Abstract
The cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established using the suture occlusion method, and rats were intraperitoneally given 8 mL/kg Danhong injection once a day prior to model establishment. Rat brain tissues were harvested at 6, 24, 48, 72 hours after reperfusion. Immunohistochemical staining showed that transforming growth factor-β1 expression increased, while Golgi matrix protein GM130 expression decreased after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Danhong injection was shown to significantly up-regulate the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and GM130, and expression levels peaked at 7 days after reperfusion. At 7 days after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, Golgi morphology was damaged in untreated rats, while Golgi morphology breakage was not observed after intervention with Danhong injection. These experimental findings indicate that Danhong injection can up-regulate the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and GM130, and maintain Golgi stability, thus playing a neuroprotective role in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
Previously we reported that several microRNAs (miRNA) are upregulated following experimentally induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) using both in vivo and in vitro approaches. Specific miRNAs were found to be sensitive to therapeutic hypothermia and may therefore be important targets for neuroprotective strategies. In this study we developed plasmid constructs that overexpress temperature sensitive miRNAs: miR-34a, miR-451, and miR-874. These constructs were transfected into cultured cortical neurons that were subjected to stretch injury using a cell injury controller device. Levels of expression of genes associated with stress, inflammation, apoptosis and transcriptional regulation were measured by qRT-PCR. mRNA levels of cytokines interleukin 1-β (IL1-β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as well as heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and Caspase 11 were found to be increased up to 24 fold higher than controls in cells overexpressing these miRNAs. After moderate stretch injury, the expression of IL1-β, TNF-α, HSP70 and Caspase 11 all increased over control levels found in uninjured cells suggesting that overexpression of these miRNAs increases cellular vulnerability. miR-34a directly inhibits Bcl2 and XIAP, both anti-apoptotic proteins. The observed increase in Caspase 11 with over-expression of miR-34a indicates that miR-34a may be inducing apoptosis by reducing the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins. miR-34a is predicted to inhibit Jun, which was seen to decrease in cells overexpressing this miRNA along with Fos. Over expression of several miRNAs found to be induced by TBI in vivo (miR-34a, miR-451 and miR-874) leads to increased vulnerability in transfected neurons. Therapeutic hypothermia blunts the expression of these miRNAs in vivo and antisense silencing could be a potential therapeutic approach to targeting the consequences of TBI.

Abstract
Prolonged translation arrest in post-ischemic hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons precludes translation of induced stress genes and directly correlates with cell death. We evaluated the regulation of mRNAs containing adenine- and uridine-rich elements (ARE) by assessing HuR protein and hsp70 mRNA nuclear translocation, HuR polysome binding, and translation state analysis of CA1 and CA3 at 8 h of reperfusion after 10 min of global cerebral ischemia. There was no difference between CA1 and CA3 at 8 h of reperfusion in nuclear or cytoplasmic HuR protein or hsp70 mRNA, or HuR polysome association, suggesting that neither mechanism contributed to post-ischemic outcome. Translation state analysis revealed that 28 and 58 % of unique mRNAs significantly different between 8hR and NIC, in CA3 and CA1, respectively, were not polysome-bound. There was significantly greater diversity of polysome-bound mRNAs in reperfused CA3 compared to CA1, and in both regions, ARE-containing mRNAs accounted for 4-5 % of the total. These data indicate that posttranscriptional ARE-containing mRNA regulation occurs in reperfused neurons and contributes to post-ischemic outcome. Understanding the differential responses of vulnerable and resistant neurons to ischemia will contribute to the development of effective neuroprotective therapies.

Abstract
Preventing cyclophilin D (cypD) translocation to the inner mitochondrial membrane can limit lethal reperfusion injury through the inhibition of the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Inhibition or loss of function of cypD may also result into an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that has been shown to alter cell survival. We therefore questioned whether ER stress might play a role in the protection induced by CypD deficiency or inhibition. CypD-KO and NIM811 (a CypD inhibitor)-treated mice were subjected to a prolonged ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Area at risk and infarct size was measured using blue dye and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. ER stress markers were measured in the hearts during the reperfusion phase. As expected, cypD-KO mice exhibited a decreased infarct size when compared to wild-type mice (8 ± 1 vs. 20 ± 4% of left ventricular weight; p < 0.01). CypD-deficient mice displayed an increased expression of ER stress proteins such as eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) or glucose regulated protein 78 (Grp78 or Bip). The ER stress inhibitor TUDCA prevented the infarct size reduction afforded by the loss of cypD function (mean infarct size averaged 21 ± 4% of LV weight, p < 0.01 vs. cypD-KO). Similar results were obtained when NIM811, an analog of cyclosporine A, was used to pharmacologically (instead of genetically) inhibit cypD function. This study suggests that the ER stress induced by the inhibition of cypD function plays a key role in protecting the heart against lethal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
HSPA1A (HSP70-1) is a highly inducible heat shock gene up-regulated in response to environmental stresses and pollutants. The aim of our study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the stable metabolically competent HepG2 cells containing a human HSPA1A promoter-driven luciferase reporter (HepG2-luciferase cells) for assessing the toxicity of organic pollutants present in air. The HepG2-luciferase cells were validated by heat shock treatment and testing three organic compounds (pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, and formaldehyde) that are ubiquitous in the air. The maximal level of HSPA1A (HSP70-1) and relative luciferase activity induced by heat shock were over three and nine times the control level, respectively. Pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, and formaldehyde all induced significantly elevated levels of relative luciferase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Extractable organic matter (EOM) from urban traffic and coke oven emissions in ambient air were tested on the HepG2-luciferase cells. The traffic EOM induced significant increase in relative luciferase activity at concentrations of picogram per liter. The coke oven EOM produced a strong dose-dependent induction of relative luciferase activity up to six times the control value. Significant increases in relative luciferase activity were observed at concentrations that were as low, or lower than the concentrations that the tested organic pollutants decreased cell viability, and increased malondialdehyde concentration, Olive tail moment, and micronuclei frequency. Therefore, we conclude that the HepG2-luciferase cells are a valuable tool for rapid screening of the overall toxicity of organic pollutants present in air.

Abstract
Thiol proteins may potentially act as redox signaling adaptor proteins, adjusting reactive oxygen species intermediates to specific signals and redox signals to cell homeostasis. In this review, we discuss redox effects of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a thioredoxin superfamily oxidoreductase from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Abundantly expressed PDI displays ubiquity, interactions with redox and nonredox proteins, versatile effects, and several posttranslational modifications. The PDI family contains >20 members with at least some apparent complementary actions. PDI has oxidoreductase, isomerase, and chaperone effects, the last not directly dependent on its thiols. PDI is a converging hub for pathways of disulfide bond introduction into ER-processed proteins, via hydrogen peroxide-generating mechanisms involving the oxidase Ero1α, as well as hydrogen peroxide-consuming reactions involving peroxiredoxin IV and the novel peroxidases Gpx7/8. PDI is a candidate pathway for coupling ER stress to oxidant generation. Emerging information suggests a convergence between PDI and Nox family NADPH oxidases. PDI silencing prevents Nox responses to angiotensin II and inhibits Akt phosphorylation in vascular cells and parasite phagocytosis in macrophages. PDI overexpression spontaneously enhances Nox activation and expression. In neutrophils, PDI redox-dependently associates with p47phox and supports the respiratory burst. At the cell surface, PDI exerts transnitrosation, thiol reductase, and apparent isomerase activities toward targets including adhesion and matrix proteins and proteases. Such effects mediate redox-dependent adhesion, coagulation/thrombosis, immune functions, and virus internalization. The route of PDI externalization remains elusive. Such multiple redox effects of PDI may contribute to its conspicuous expression and functional role in disease, rendering PDI family members putative redox cell signaling adaptors.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that autophagy plays a prosurvival role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). This study was taken to assess the linkage between autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during the process of IPC. The effects of IPC on ER stress and neuronal injury were determined by exposure of primary cultured murine cortical neurons to 30 min of OGD 24 h prior to a subsequent lethal OGD. The effects of IPC on ER stress and ischemic brain damage were evaluated in rats by a brief ischemic insult followed by permanent focal ischemia (PFI) 24 h later using the suture occlusion technique. The results showed that both IPC and lethal OGD increased the LC3-II expression and decreased p62 protein levels, but the extent of autophagy activation was varied. IPC treatment ameliorated OGD-induced cell damage in cultured cortical neurons, whereas 3-MA (5-20 mM) and bafilomycin A 1 (75-150 nM) suppressed the neuroprotection induced by IPC. 3-MA, at the dose blocking autophagy, significantly inhibited IPC-induced HSP70, HSP60 and GRP78 upregulation; meanwhile, it also aggregated the ER stress and increased activated caspase-12, caspase-3 and CHOP protein levels both in vitro and in vivo models. The ER stress inhibitor Sal (75 pmol) recovered IPC-induced neuroprotection in the presence of 3-MA. Rapamycin 50-200 nM in vitro and 35 pmol in vivo 24 h before the onset of lethal ischemia reduced ER stress and ischemia-induced neuronal damage. These results demonstrated that pre-activation of autophagy by ischemic preconditioning can boost endogenous defense mechanisms to upregulate molecular chaperones, and hence reduce excessive ER stress during fatal ischemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of transient global brain ischaemia, both naïve and preconditioned, on accumulation of ubiquitinylated proteins and induction of stress/chaperone proteins specific to cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, possible correlation between stress response and ischaemia/induced translocation of p53 to mitochondria was investigated. Rats were subjected to 15-min forebrain ischaemia followed by 1, 3, 24 and 72 h of reperfusion. Transient cerebral ischaemia induced a massive increase in protein ubiquitinylation in the hippocampus as well as in both cerebral and cerebellar cortex. Enhanced ubiquitinylation of proteins was paralleled with transcriptional activation of hsp70.1 gene but not hsp70.3 gene. However, HSP70 protein level was significantly elevated 24 and 72 h after ischaemia. Neither ischaemia nor ischaemia followed by reperfusion was associated with significant changes of GRP78, GADD34 and GADD153 levels. Ubiquitinylated protein level was elevated 1 and 48 h after sub-lethal 5 min ischaemia. Preconditioned ischaemia (15 min ischaemia followed 48 h after sub-lethal ischaemia) was associated with even enhanced accumulation of ubiquitinylated proteins of molecular mass higher than 110 kDa. HSP70 protein was significantly elevated 48 h after sub-lethal ischaemia as well as after preconditioned ischaemia and all investigated time intervals of reperfusion. The elevated level of HSP70 might represent plausible explanation of inhibition of both translocation of p53 to mitochondria and ischaemia-induced apoptosis observed after preconditioned ischaemia.
