Abstract
Ischaemic stroke results in the formation of a cerebral infarction bordered by an ischaemic penumbra. Characterising the proteins within the ischaemic penumbra may identify neuro-protective targets and novel circulating markers to improve patient care. This review assessed data from studies using proteomic platforms to compare ischaemic penumbra tissues to controls following experimental stroke in animal models. Proteins reported to differ significantly between penumbra and control tissues were analysed in silico to identify protein-protein interactions and over-represented pathways. Sixteen studies using rat (n = 12), mouse (n = 2) or primate (n = 2) models were included. Heterogeneity in the design of the studies and definition of the penumbra were observed. Analyses showed high abundance of p53 in the penumbra within 24 hours of permanent ischaemic stroke and was implicated in driving apoptosis, cell cycle progression, and ATM- MAPK- and p53- signalling. Between 1 and 7 days after stroke there were changes in the abundance of proteins involved in the complement and coagulation pathways. Favourable recovery 1 month after stroke was associated with an increase in the abundance of proteins involved in wound healing. Poor recovery was associated with increases in prostaglandin signalling. Findings suggest that p53 may be a target for novel therapeutics for ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder and considered to be responsible for majority of worldwide prevalent dementia cases. The number of patients suffering from dementia are estimated to increase up to 115.4 million cases worldwide in 2050. Hence, AD is contemplated to be one of the major healthcare challenge in current era. This disorder is characterized by impairment in various signaling molecules at cellular and nuclear level including aggregation of Aβ protein, tau hyper phosphorylation altered lipid metabolism, metabolites dysregulation, protein intensity alteration etc. Being heterogeneous and multifactorial in nature, the disease do not has any cure or any confirmed diagnosis before the onset of clinical manifestations. Hence, there is a requisite for early diagnosis of AD in order to downturn the progression/risk of the disorder and utilization of newer technologies developed in this field are aimed to provide an extraordinary assistance towards the same. The lipidomics and proteomics constitute large scale study of cellular lipids and proteomes in biological matrices at normal stage or any stage of a disease. The study involves high throughput quantification and detection techniques such as mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, nuclear mass resonance spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy etc. The early detection of altered levels of lipids and proteins in blood or any other biological matrices could aid in preventing the progression of AD and dementia. Therefore, the present review is designed to focus on the recent techniques and early diagnostic criteria for AD, revealing the role of lipids and proteins in this disease and their assessment through different techniques.

Abstract
Aging is described as an advanced time-related collection of changes that may negatively affect with the risk of several diseases or death. Aging is a main factor of several age-related neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia), stroke, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, brain tumors, oxidative stress, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Currently available medications for age-related neurological disorders may lead to several side effects, such as headache, diarrhea, nausea, gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, dyskinesia, and hallucinosis. These days, studies on plant efficacy in traditional medicine are being conducted because herbal medicine is affordable, safe, and culturally acceptable and easily accessible. The Indian traditional medicine system called Ayurveda uses several herbs and medicinal plants to treat various disorders including neurological disorders. This review aims to summarize the data on the neuroprotective potential of the following common Indian spices widely used in Ayurveda: cumin (Cuminum cyminum (L.), Apiaceae), black cumin (Nigella sativa (L.), Ranunculaceae), black pepper (Piper nigrum (L.), Piperaceae), curry leaf tree (Murraya koenigii (L.), Spreng Rutaceae), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum (L.), Fabaceae), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill, Apiaceae), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton, Zingiberaceae), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M.Perry, Myrtaceae), and coriander (Coriandrum sativum (L.), Apiaceae) in age-related neurological disorders.

Abstract
This study intends to assess astragaloside IV’s effect on neurological function in mice cerebral ischemia model. The mouse model of cerebral ischemia was established by photochemistry and then assigned into sham operation group (photochemical building do not accept cold light
irradiation) and control group (10 ug/ml by intraperitoneal injection of saline solution), drug group (10 ug/ml by intraperitoneal injection of Astragaloside IV) followed by analysis of neurological severity, cerebral infarction area, loss of neurons, glial cell activation and the activities
of LC3, Beclin1, Caspase-3, P62 and mTOR by Western Blot. The neurons in cerebral infarction were missing and marginal area and penumbra appeared. The tissue in cerebral infarction became white, and the modeling was successful. The drug group showed significantly reduced scores and decreased
infarct area of brain tissue compared with control group on day 14, 21 and 28 (P < 0.05). TUNEL staining showed increased number of TUNEL cells at the ischemic edge in the drug group (0.35±0.07)% (P < 0.05), while the IBAL staining of (27.12±3.01)% and GFAP
staining of (0.08±0.02)% in the drug group showed significant inhibition of astrocytes (P < 0.05). The activity of LC3, Beclin1, Caspase-3 and P62 in drug group was inhibited, while the activity of mTOR was promoted. In conclusion, Astragaloside IV improves the balance ability
and the neural function of cerebral ischemia repair in mice model.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is the leading cause of death in severe hypotension caused by cardiac arrest, drowning, and excessive blood loss. Urine can sensitively reflect pathophysiological changes in the brain even at an early stage. In this study, a rat model of global cerebral I/R injury was established via Pulsinelli’s four-vessel occlusion (4-VO) method. Overall, 164 urinary proteins significantly changed in the 4-VO rat urine samples compared to the control samples by data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics technique (1.5-fold change, p < 0.05). Gene Ontology annotation showed that the acute-phase response, the ERK1 and ERK2 cascade, endopeptidase activity, blood coagulation, and angiogenesis were overrepresented. After parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) validation, 15 differential proteins having human orthologs were verified as the potential urinary markers associated with cerebral I/R injury. Of these potential biomarkers, 8 proteins were reported to be closely associated with cerebral I/R injury. Nine differential proteins changed even when there were no clinical manifestations or histopathological cerebral damage, including FGG, COMP, TFF2, HG2A, KNG1, CATZ, PTGDS, PRVA, and HEPC. These 9 proteins are potential biomarkers for early screening of cerebral I/R injury to prevent the development of cerebral injury. KNG1, CATZ, PTGDS, PRVA, and HEPC showed an overall trend of upregulation or downregulation at 12 and 48 h after I/R injury, reflecting the progression of cerebral I/R injury. These 5 proteins may serve as potential biomarkers for prognostic evaluation of cerebral I/R injury. These findings provide important clues to inform the monitoring of cerebral I/R injury and further the current understanding of its molecular biological mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify and evaluate the intracranial transplantation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) as a possible ischemic stroke therapy that mitigates neuronal death/apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS DPSCs were isolated from the impacted third molars of healthy volunteers and then intracranially injected at 24 h post-ischemic stroke to Sprague Dawley rats that had been subjected to 2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion. Neurological functional deficits were assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS), and cerebral edema was quantified using brain water content. Neuronal death/apoptosis was indicated by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) staining, NeuN immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis of the protein expression of anti-apoptotic indicator of Bcl-2 and apoptotic indicators of Bax and caspase 3. RESULTS DPSC transplantation could ameliorate neurological dysfunction and brain edema, reduce infarct volume, decrease the percentage of TUNEL-positive nuclei, increase the number and percentage of NeuN-positive cells in ischemic penumbra, increase the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax and down-regulate the production of caspase 3 in the cortical infarct zone. CONCLUSIONS DPSC therapy via intracranial injection exerted remarkably neuroprotection mainly by inhibiting neuronal death/apoptosis.

Abstract
Andrographolide (Andro), a diterpene of the labdane family extracted from the Asian plant Andrographis paniculata, is neuroprotective against stroke and Alzheimer's disease. However, whether Andro protected the brain against subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was still unknown. Thus, we explored whether Andro attenuated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and neuronal apoptosis and inhibited oxidative stress to protect the brain against SAH both in vitro and in vivo and detected underlying mechanisms of Andro's neuroprotective effects in the present study. Oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb)-treated neuronal PC12 cells were used as an in vitro model. An in vivo model was established using Sprague-Dawley rats. Moreover, we used an inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) (ZnPPIX) in vitro and in vivo experiments to evaluate whether the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) cascade acted as one protective molecular mechanism of Andro against SAH. Our results revealed that, in vitro, Andro increased cell viability, inhibited apoptosis, and activated Nrf2/HO-1 cascade of neuronal PC12 cells treated with OxyHb. In vivo, Andro attenuated the neurological dysfunction, neuronal apoptosis, BBB disruption, brain edema, and oxidative stress and activated the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. ZnPPIX reversed the effects of Andro in vitro and in vivo. Our research suggested that Andro alleviated BBB disruption, neuronal apoptosis, and oxidative stress in SAH, possibly via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Age-related neurological disorders (ANDs), including neurodegenerative diseases, are multifactorial disorders whose risk increases with age. The main pathological hallmarks of ANDs include behavioral changes, excessive oxidative stress, progressive functional declines, impaired mitochondrial function, protein misfolding, neuroinflammation, and neuronal cell death. Recently, efforts have been made to overcome ANDs because of their increased age-dependent prevalence. Black pepper, the fruit of Piper nigrum L. in the family Piperaceae, is an important food spice that has long been used in traditional medicine to treat various human diseases. Consumption of black pepper and black pepper-enriched products is associated with numerous health benefits due to its antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective properties. This review shows that black pepper's major bioactive neuroprotective compounds, such as piperine, effectively prevent AND symptoms and pathological conditions by modulating cell survival signaling and death. Relevant molecular mechanisms are also discussed. In addition, we highlight how recently developed novel nanodelivery systems are vital for improving the efficacy, solubility, bioavailability, and neuroprotective properties of black pepper (and thus piperine) in different experimental AND models, including clinical trials. This extensive review shows that black pepper and its active ingredients have therapeutic potential for ANDs.

Abstract
RelB confers the aggressiveness to prostate cancer (PC) cells. Exosomes modulate the oncogenesis and progression of PC. We aimed to identify the downstream molecule in the exosomes, by which RelB increases the aggressiveness of DU145. Totally, 137 upregulated and 55 downregulated exosomal proteins were identified from RelB-knockdown DU145 cells by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. UALCAN, GeneMANIA and tissue microarray analysis revealed that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) was positively related to and co-expressed with RelB in PC. Luciferase reporter assay revealed that RelB bound directly to the promoter of ICAM1. ICAM1 overexpression enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of DU145 cells. Exposure to exosomes derived from ICAM1 overexpressing cells (hICAM1-exo) strengthened the aggressiveness of RelB-knockdown cells, especially the migration and invasion capabilities. Mechanistically, the expression of ICAM1, Integrin β1, MMP9 and uPA were upregulated in RelB-knockdown cells upon hICAM1-exo treatment. Exosomal ICAM1 is the key molecule regulated by RelB, which increased the aggressiveness of DU145. The study suggests that cell-cell communication via exosomal ICAM1 is a novel mechanism by which RelB promotes PC progression.

The neuroprotective effects of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 via the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway are mediated by the PI3K/AKT cascade following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Brain Res Bull 2021; 177:373-387. [PMID: 34717965 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2021.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has neuroprotective actions, including vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antithrombotic effects, following ischemic stroke. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of IGF-1 following ischemic stroke remain unknown. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether IGF-1 exerted its neuroprotective effects by regulating the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway, potentially via activation of the PI3K/AKT cascade, following ischemic stroke. In the in vitro study, we exposed cultured PC12 and SH-5YSY cells, and cortical primary neurons, to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Cell viability was measured using CCK-8 assay. In the in vivo study, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion. Neurological function was assessed using a modified neurologic scoring system and the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) test, brain edema was detected by brain water content measurement, infarct volume was measured using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, and neuronal death and apoptosis were evaluated by TUNEL/NeuN double staining, HE and Nissl staining, and immunohistochemistry staining for NeuN. Finally, western blot analysis was used to measure the level of IGF-1 in vivo and levels of YAP/TAZ, PI3K and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) both in vitro and in vivo. IGF-1 induced activation of YAP/TAZ, which resulted in improved cell viability in vitro, and reduced neurological deficits, brain water content, neuronal death and apoptosis, and cerebral infarct volume in vivo. Notably, the neuroprotective effects of IGF-1 were blocked by an inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT cascade, LY294002. LY294002 treatment not only downregulated PI3K and p-AKT, but YAP/TAZ as well, leading to aggravation of neurological dysfunction and worsening of brain damage. Our findings indicate that the neuroprotective effects of IGF-1 are, at least in part mediated by upregulation of YAP/TAZ via activation of the PI3K/AKT cascade following cerebral ischemic stroke.

Li YP, Chen Z, Cai YH. Piperine protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Exp Ther Med 2021; 21:374. [PMID: 33732347 PMCID: PMC7903478 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.9805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Piperine (PIP) exerts numerous pharmacological effects and its involvement in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS)-led apoptosis has garnered attention. The present study focused on whether PIP played protective effects on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes by repressing ERS-led apoptosis. The potential molecular mechanisms in association with the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were investigated. Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were isolated and randomized into four groups: Control + vehicle group, control + PIP group, H/R + vehicle group and H/R + PIP group. The H/R injury model was constructed by 4 h of hypoxia induction followed by 6 h of reoxygenation. A total of 10 µM PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 was supplemented to the cells during the experiments. Cell viability and myocardial enzymes were detected to evaluate myocardial damage. A flow cytometry assay was performed to assess apoptotic response. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of related proteins including PI3K, AKT, CHOP, GRP78 and cleaved caspase-12. The results showed that H/R markedly promoted myocardial damage as shown by the increased release of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase levels, but a reduction in cell viability. In addition, ERS-induced apoptosis was markedly promoted by H/R in NRCMs, as shown by the increased apoptotic rates and expression of C/EBP-homologous protein, endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP and caspase-12. PIP administration reversed cell injury and ERS-induced apoptosis in H/R. Mechanistic studies concluded that the apoptosis-inhibitory contributions and cardio-favorable effects of PIP were caused partly by the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which was verified by LY294002 administration. To conclude, PIP can reduce ERS-induced apoptosis by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway during the process of H/R injury, which could be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

J Cell Mol Med 2021; 25:244-258. [PMID: 33219747 PMCID: PMC7810957 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
miRNA-mediated pyroptosis play crucial effects in the development of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI). Piperine (PIP) possesses multiple pharmacological effects especially in I/R condition. This study focuses on whether PIP protects MIRI from pyroptosis via miR-383-dependent pathway. Rat MIRI model was established by 30 minutes of LAD ligation and 4 hours of reperfusion. Myocardial enzymes, histomorphology, structure and function were detected to evaluate MIRI. Recombinant adenoviral vectors for miR-383 overexpression or miR-383 silencing or RP105 knockdown were constructed, respectively. Luciferase reporter analysis was used to confirm RP105 as a target of miR-383. Pyroptosis-related markers were measured by Western blotting assay. The results showed that I/R provoked myocardial injury, as shown by the increases of LDH/CK releases, infarcted areas and apoptosis as well as worsened function and structure. Pyroptosis-related mediators including NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, cleaved IL-1β and IL-18 were also reinforced after MIRI. However, PIP treatment greatly ameliorated MIRI in parallel with pyroptotic repression. In mechanistic studies, MIRI-caused elevation of miR-383 and decrease of RP105/PI3K/AKT pathway were reverted by PIP treatment. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed RP105 as a miR-383 target. miR-383 knockdown ameliorated but miR-383 overexpression facilitated pyroptosis and MIRI. Moreover, the anti-pyroptotic effect from miR-383 silencing was verified to be relied on the RP105/PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. Additionally, our present study further indicated the miR-383/RP105/AKT-dependent approach resulting from PIP administration against pyroptosis in MIRI. Therefore, PIP treatment attenuates MIRI and pyroptosis by regulating miR-383/RP105/AKT pathway, and it may provide a therapeutic manner for the treatment of MIRI.

Abstract
The healing effect of herbal active compounds on lung cancer has been recently investigated. Lung cancer is one of the leading types of cancer. The causes and prevention of lung cancer diagnosis have an important role as the inhibition of proteins in the initial treatment of the disease. The docking score was used to investigate the effect of some active compounds in traditional medicinal plants. The use of widespread medicinal plants and determination of active substances reveal the importance of docking studies in choosing the right active substance in a short time. The inhibition of essentially active compounds on lung cancer has been an important condition as the traditional medicinal plants that are rich in active substance and direct the experimental studies. In this study, the effects of the active ingredients in traditional food supplements used in many countries on the lung cancer were calculated based on the drugs used as standard. It will be hope that these active substances with high healing effects will be tested in the clinical field and turned into drugs.
