Abstract
Objectives. Paraplegia is devastating complication associated with thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Vast evidence has been gathered on pre-, peri- and postoperative protective adjuncts aiming to minimize spinal cord ischemia. This review focuses on the pretreatment phase of open surgical or endovascular aortic procedures and gathers the experimental data on the interventional preconditioning and priming methods that increase the spinal cord ischemic tolerance. Design. By the start of March 2021, a systematic review was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science core collection to identify the articles that reported (i) either an ischemic preconditioning, remote ischemic preconditioning or priming method prior to (ii) experimental spinal cord ischemia performed in endovascular or open surgical fashion mimicking either thoracic, abdominal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm procedures. (iii) The outcomes were reported via neurological, motor-evoked potential, somatosensory-evoked potential, histopathological, immunohistochemical, physiological analysis, or in different combinations of these measurements. Results. The search yielded 7802 articles, and 57 articles were included in the systematic review. The articles were assessed by the evaluated species, the utilized pretreatment, the measured protective effects, and the suggested underlying mechanisms. Conclusions. The reviewed articles showed several possible mechanisms in ischemic and remote ischemic preconditioning for prevention of spinal cord ischemia. The main suggested method for priming was arteriogenetic stimulus. Future studies should confirm these hints of arteriogenetic stimulus with more precise quantification of the protective recruitment process.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the effect of one and two remote ischemia preconditioning episodes (1-RIPC or 2-RIPC, respectively) on neuro-protection after spinal cord ischemic injury (SCI) in rats. Design: Experimental animal study. Setting: College of Medicine, King Khalid University, Abha, KSA. Interventions: Male rats (n = 10/group) were divided into control, sham, SCIRI, 1-RIPC + SCIRI, and 2-RIPC + SCIRI. SCI was induced by aortic ligation for 45 min and each RIPC episode was induced by 3 cycles of 10 min ischemia/10 min perfusion. The two preconditioning procedures were separated by 24 h. Outcome measures: after 48 h of RIPC procedure, Tarlov's test, withdrawal from the painful stimulus and placing/stepping reflex (SPR) were used to evaluate the hind limbs neurological function. SC homogenates were used to measure various biochemical parameters. Results: Motor and sensory function of hind limbs were significantly improved and levels of MDA, AOPPs, PGE2, TNF-α, and IL-6, as well as the activity of SOD, was significantly decreased in SC tissue in either 1 or 2 episodes of RIPC intervention. Concomitantly, levels of total nitrate/nitrite and eNOS activity were significantly increased in both groups. Interestingly, except for activity of SOD, eNOS and levels of nitrate/nitrite, the improvements in all neurological biochemical endpoint were more profound in 2-RIPC + SCIRI compared with 1-RIPC + SCIRI. Conclusion: applying two preconditioning episodes of 3 cycles of 10 min ischemia/10 min perfusion, separated by 24 h, boost the neuro-protection effect of RIPC maneuver in rats after ischemic induced SCI in rats.

Ubiquitin and endogenous antioxidant enzymes participate in neuroprotection of the rabbit spinal cord after ischemia and bradykinin postconditioning. Acta Histochem 2019; 121:732-741. [PMID: 31270014 DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2019.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2019] [Revised: 06/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate neuroprotective effect of bradykinin postconditioning on the rabbit spinal cord after 20 min of ischemia and 3 days of reperfusion. Bradykinin was administered by single i.p. application at 1, 6, 12 or 24 h after ischemia. Assessment of neurological function of hind limbs (Tarlov score) was estimated. Quantitative analysis was evaluated by Fluoro Jade B method, NeuN and ubiquitin immunohistochemistry in anterior horn neurons of the spinal cord. Histomorphologically distribution of ubiquitin and endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD1, SOD2, catalase) immunoreaction was described. Bradykinin postconditioning showed decreased number of degenerated neurons, increased number of surviving neurons and increase in number of ubiquitin positive neurons in all bradykinin postconditioned groups versus ischemia/reperfusion group. According to our results bradykinin postconditioning applied 24 h after ischemia significantly decreased (p < 0.001) number of degenerated neurons versus ischemia/reperfusion group. The least effective time window for bradykinin postconditioning was at 12 h after ischemia. Tarlov score was significantly improved (p < 0.05) in groups with bradykinin postconditioning applied 1, 6 or 24 h after ischemia versus ischemia/reperfusion group. Tarlov score in group with bradykinin application 12 h after ischemia was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) versus sham control group. Neuronal immunoreaction of ubiquitin, SOD1, SOD2 and catalase influenced by bradykinin postconditioning was dependent on neuronal survival or degeneration. In conclusion, bradykinin postconditioning showed protective effect on neurons in anterior horns of the rabbit spinal cord and improved motor function of hind limbs.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has protective effects against ischemia-perfusion injury of organs. In the present study, we investigated the associated mechanisms after performing remote IPC (rIPC) of lower limbs by clamping abdominal aorta in mice. Subsequent experiments showed decreased damage and paralysis of lower limbs following spinal cord injury (SCI). Concomitantly, plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were increased 24 h after rIPC compared with those in sham-operated animals. In subsequent microRNA analyses, thirteen microRNAs were downregulated in exosomes 24 h after rIPC. Further studies of femoral CD34-positive bone marrow (BM) cells confirmed downregulation of these seven microRNAs 24 h after rIPC compared with those in sham-operated controls. Subsequent algorithm-based database searches suggested that two of the seven microRNAs bind to the 3′ UTR of VEGF mRNA, and following transfection into CD34-positive BM cells, anti-miR-762, and anti-miR-3072-5p inhibitors led to increased VEGF concentrations. The present data suggest that rIPC transiently increases plasma VEGF levels by downregulating miR-762 and miR-3072-5p in CD34-positive BM cells, leading to protection against organ ischemia.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to test the effects of different types of preconditioning and postconditioning methods on spinal cord protection following aortic clamping. Methods The animals (rabbits) were divided into sham-operated, ischemic preconditioning, remote ischemic preconditioning, simultaneous aortic and ischemic remote preconditioning, and ischemic postconditioning groups. After neurological evaluations, ultrastructural analysis and immunohistochemical staining for caspase-3 were evaluated after 24 h following ischemia. Results The neurological outcomes of the remote ischemic preconditioning (4.2 ± 0.4) and ischemic postconditioning (4.6 ± 0.8) groups were significantly improved when compared with the ischemia group (2.2 ± 04). The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the lowest percentage of apoptosis was in-group ischemic preconditioning at 12.5 ± 30.6%. In the comparison of intracellular edema in an ultrastructural analysis, the ischemic preconditioning and ischemic postconditioning groups had significantly lower values than the ischemia group. Conclusion The conditioning methods attenuate ischemia–reperfusion injury for spinal cord injury. Ischemic and remote preconditioning and also postconditioning methods are simple to perform and inexpensive.

Abstract
Overstimulation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors is believed to be responsible for neuronal death of the CNS in various disorders, including cerebral and spinal cord ischemia. However, the intrinsic and physiological mechanisms of modulation of these receptors are essentially unknown. Here we report that cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (triol), a major metabolite of cholesterol, is an endogenous neuroprotectant and protects against neuronal injury both in vitro and in vivo via negative modulation of NMDA receptors. Treatment of cultured neurons with triol protects against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity, and administration of triol significantly decreases neuronal injury after spinal cord ischemia in rabbits and transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats. An inducible elevation of triol is associated with ischemic preconditioning and subsequent neuroprotection in the spinal cord of rabbits. This neuroprotection is effectively abolished by preadministration of a specific inhibitor of triol synthesis. Physiological concentrations of triol attenuate [Ca(2+)]i induced by glutamate and decrease inward NMDA-mediated currents in cultured cortical neurons and HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with NR1/NR2B NMDA receptors. Saturable binding of [(3)H]triol to cerebellar granule neurons and displacement of [(3)H]MK-801 binding to NMDA receptors by triol suggest that direct blockade of NMDA receptors may underlie the neuroprotective properties. Our findings suggest that the naturally occurring oxysterol, the major cholesterol metabolite triol, functions as an endogenous neuroprotectant in vivo, which may provide novel insights into understanding and developing potential therapeutics for disorders in the CNS.

Ischemic preconditioning protects against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits by attenuating blood spinal cord barrier disruption. Int J Mol Sci 2013; 14:10343-54.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning has been reported to protect against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To investigate this, Japanese white rabbits underwent I-R (30 min aortic occlusion followed by reperfusion), ischemic preconditioning (three cycles of 5 min aortic occlusion plus 5 min reperfusion) followed by I-R, or sham surgery. At 4 and 24 h following reperfusion, neurological function was assessed using Tarlov scores, blood spinal cord barrier permeability was measured by Evan’s Blue extravasation, spinal cord edema was evaluated using the wet-dry method, and spinal cord expression of zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by Western blot and a real-time polymerase chain reaction. ZO-1 was also assessed using immunofluorescence. Spinal cord I-R injury reduced neurologic scores, and ischemic preconditioning treatment ameliorated this effect. Ischemic preconditioning inhibited I-R-induced increases in blood spinal cord barrier permeability and water content, increased ZO-1 mRNA and protein expression, and reduced MMP-9 and TNF-α mRNA and protein expression. These findings suggest that ischemic preconditioning attenuates the increase in blood spinal cord barrier permeability due to spinal cord I-R injury by preservation of tight junction protein ZO-1 and reducing MMP-9 and TNF-α expression.
