Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study's purpose is to investigate the neuroprotective role of ethyl pyruvate (EP) in the pathogenesis of diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS The present study used a mouse model of collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation, diabetic cerebral hemorrhage, and diabetic cerebral hemorrhage with EP. The EP (80 mg/kg) and EP (50 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally one day and one hour before modeling. The protein expression levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and NOD-like receptors 3 (NLRP3) were detected with western blot. The mRNA levels of HMGB1 and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunofluorescence and ELISA were performed to confirm some inflammatory factors. RESULTS Compared to the normal diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1 and TLR4 were downregulated in the EP-affected group with diabetic cerebral hemorrhage, together with the downregulation of the expression of inflammasomes, including NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), and caspase 1. CONCLUSION EP can reduce the inflammatory response after diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage and may inhibit the activation of inflammasomes by the HMGB1/TLR4 pathway.

Protective Effect of Mild Hypothermia on Spinal Cord Ischemia-Induced Delayed Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury. Neurochem Res 2022; 47:1212-1225. [PMID: 34993705 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-021-03515-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
To explore the mechanism regarding the regulation of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in rats by mild hypothermia. A SCI rat model was established through aorta occlusion, and in some cases, the rats were intervened with mild hypothermia, after which motor function, microglia activation, and M1/M2 polarization in rats were measured. Also, the expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) and neuronal apoptosis were examined. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced M1 microglia and IL-4-induced M2 microglia were intrathecally injected into rats to evaluate the effect of microglial polarization on SCI. In in vitro experiments, primary microglial cells were treated under hypothermic condition, in which M1/M2 polarization and microglia apoptosis, the levels of iNOS, CD86, CD206, Arg-1 and inflammatory cytokines were assessed. Western blot analysis detected the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway to investigate the role of this pathway in M1/M2 polarization. SCI treatment impaired motor function, induced higher M1 microglia proportion, and increased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in rats, and mild hypothermic treatment attenuated these trends. Moreover, injection of M1 microglia increased M1 microglia proportion and increased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while injection of M2 microglia induced the reverse results, i.e. decreased M1 microglia proportion and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. In LPS-induced microglial cells, mild hypothermia treatment increased M2 microglia proportion and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, relative to normothermia. Mild hypothermia inactivated the TLR4/NF-κB pathway in LPS-treated microglia. TLR4 overexpression reversed the function of mild hypothermia in LPS-stimulated microglia, and under normal condition, TLR4/NF-κB pathway suppressed microglial M2 polarization. Mild hypothermia inhibits TLR4/NF-κB pathway and promotes microglial M2 polarization, thus attenuating SCI-induced injury and inflammation.

Abstract
Spinal cord ischemic injury and paralysis are devastating complications after open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Preclinical models have been developed to simulate the clinical paradigm to better understand the neuropathophysiology and develop therapeutic treatment. Neuropathological findings in the preclinical models have not been comprehensively examined before. This systematic review studies the past 40 years of the histological findings after open surgical repair in preclinical models. Our main finding is that damage is predominantly in the grey matter of the spinal cord, although white matter damage in the spinal cord is also reported. Future research needs to examine the neuropathological findings in preclinical models after endovascular repair, a newer type of surgical repair used to treat aortic aneurysms.

Ethyl Pyruvate Reduces Systemic Leukocyte Activation via Caspase-1 and NF-κB After Blunt Chest Trauma and Haemorrhagic Shock. Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:562904. [PMID: 33117829 PMCID: PMC7562791 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.562904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Blunt chest (thoracic) trauma (TxT) and haemorrhagic shock with subsequent resuscitation (H/R) induce strong systemic and local inflammatory response, which is closely associated with apoptotic cell loss and subsequently impaired organ function. The underlying mechanisms are not completely understood, therefore, the treatment of patients suffering from TxT+H/R is challenging. In our recent studies, we have demonstrated local anti-inflammatory effects of ethyl pyruvate (EtP) in lung and liver after TxT+H/R. Here, the therapeutic potential of a reperfusion regime with EtP on the early post-traumatic systemic inflammatory response and apoptotic changes after TxT followed by H/R were investigated. Methods: Female Lewis rats underwent TxT followed by haemorrhagic shock (60 min). Resuscitation was performed with own blood transfusion and either lactated Ringers solution (LR) or LR supplemented with EtP (50 mg/kg). Sham group underwent the surgical procedures. After 2 h blood as well as lung and liver tissues were obtained for analyses. Systemic activation of neutrophils (expression of CD11b and CD62L), leukocyte phagocytosis, apoptosis (caspase-3/7 activation), pyroptosis (caspase-1 activation) and NF-κB p65 activity were assessed. p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: TxT+H/R-induced systemic activation of neutrophils (increased CD11b and reduced CD62L expression) was significantly reduced by EtP. Trauma-induced delayed neutrophil apoptosis was further reduced by EtP reperfusion but remained unaltered in monocytes. Reperfusion with EtP significantly increased the phagocytizing capacity of granulocytes. Trauma-induced inflammasome activation, which was observed in monocytes and not in neutrophils, was significantly reduced by EtP in both cell entities. NF-κB p65 activation, which was increased in neutrophils and monocytes was significantly decreased in monocytes. Conclusion: TxT+H/R-induced systemic activation of both neutrophils and monocytes concomitant with increased systemic inflammation was reduced by a reperfusion with EtP and was associated with a down-regulation of NF-κB p65 activation.
