ROS exhaustion reverses the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on hemorrhagic transformation through reactivating microglia in post-stroke hyperglycemic mice. Sci Rep 2024; 14:21410. [PMID: 39271781 PMCID: PMC11399301 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72454-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major global health concern due to its high mortality and disability rates. Hemorrhagic transformation, a common complication of AIS, leads to poor prognosis yet lacks effective treatments. Preclinical studies indicate that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment within 12 h of AIS onset alleviates ischemia/reperfusion injuries, including hemorrhagic transformation. However, clinical trials have yielded conflicting results, suggesting some underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we confirmed that HBO treatments beginning within 1 h post reperfusion significantly alleviated the haemorrhage and neurological deficits in hyperglycemic transient middle cerebral arterial occlusion (tMCAO) mice, partly due to the inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pro-inflammatory response in microglia. Notably, reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate the anti-inflammatory and protective effect of early HBO treatment, as edaravone and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), two commonly used antioxidants, reversed the suppressive effect of HBO treatment on NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation in microglia. Furthermore, NAC countered the protective effect of early HBO treatment in tMCAO mice with hyperglycemia. These findings support that early HBO treatment is a promising intervention for AIS, however, caution is warranted when combining antioxidants with HBO treatment. Further assessments are needed to clarify the role of antioxidants in HBO therapy for AIS.

Neutrophil membrane-derived nanoparticles protect traumatic brain injury via inhibiting calcium overload and scavenging ROS. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:477. [PMID: 39135044 PMCID: PMC11320991 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02753-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The secondary injury is more serious after traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared with primary injury. Release of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ influx at the damaged site trigger the secondary injury. Herein, a neutrophil-like cell membrane-functionalized nanoparticle was developed to prevent ROS-associated secondary injury. NCM@MP was composed of three parts: (1) Differentiated neutrophil-like cell membrane (NCM) was synthesized, with inflammation-responsive ability to achieve effective targeting and to increase the retention time of Mn3O4 and nimodipine (MP) in deep injury brain tissue via C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4, integrin beta 1 and macrophage antigen-1. (2) Nimodipine was used to inhibit Ca2+ influx, eliminating the ROS at source. (3) Mn3O4 further eradicated the existing ROS. In addition, NCM@MP also exhibited desirable properties for T1 enhanced imaging and low toxicity which may serve as promising multifunctional nanoplatforms for precise therapies. In our study, NCM@MP obviously alleviated oxidative stress response, reduced neuroinflammation, protected blood-brain barrier integrity, relieved brain edema, promoted the regeneration of neurons, and improved the cognition of TBI mice. This study provides a promising TBI management to relieve the secondary spread of damage.

Abstract
Background Neural cell damage is an important cause of exacerbation of depression symptoms caused by hypoxia, but the mechanism behind it is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α)/mitofusin-2 (MFN2) signaling axis in the development of depression in mice under hypoxia. Methods Male Institute of Cancer Research mice (age, 6 weeks) were assigned to the normal group, chronic unpredictable mild stress group (CUMS group), or CUMS + hyper-hypoxia group (CUMS + H group). Mice in the CUMS and CUMS + H groups were exposed to CUMS for 28 days. Additionally, mice in the CUMS + H group were exposed to acute hyper-hypoxia from Day 21 for 7 days. After a total of 28 days, behavioral experiments were conducted. All mice were anesthetized and sacrificed. Levels of brain tissue interleukin (IL)-6, reactive oxygen species (ROS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and serotonin (5-HT) were analyzed. Results As compared to the CUMS group, mice in the CUMS + H group had increased IL-6 and ROS levels, but lower open-field activity, preference for sucrose, hippocampal neuronal membrane potential, ATP, and 5-HT levels, as well as MFN2 and PGC1α levels. Conclusions Acute hyper-hypoxia plays an important role in the development of depression via the IL-6/PGC1α/MFN2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects ∼500,000 people worldwide annually, with the majority developing chronic neuropathic pain. Following SCI, approximately 60% of these individuals are diagnosed with comorbid mood disorders, while only ∼21% of the general population will experience a mood disorder in their lifetime. We hypothesize that nociceptive and depressive-like dysregulation occurs after SCI and is associated with aberrant macrophage infiltration in segmental pain centers. We completed moderate unilateral C5 spinal cord contusion on LysM-eGFP reporter mice to visualize infiltrating macrophages. At 6-weeks post-SCI, mice exhibit nociceptive and depressive-like dysfunction compared to naïve and sham groups. There were no differences between the sexes, indicating that sex is not a contributing factor driving nociceptive or depressive-like behaviors after SCI. Utilizing hierarchical cluster analysis, we classified mice based on endpoint nociceptive and depressive-like behavior scores. Approximately 59.3% of the SCI mice clustered based on increased paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli and immobility time in the forced swim test. SCI mice displayed increased myeloid cell presence in the lesion epicenter, ipsilateral C7-8 dorsal horn, and C7-8 DRGs as evidenced by eGFP, CD68, and Iba1 immunostaining when compared to naïve and sham mice. This was further confirmed by SCI-induced alterations in the expression of genes indicative of myeloid cell activation states and their associated secretome in the dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglia. In conclusion, moderate unilateral cervical SCI caused the development of pain-related and depressive-like behaviors in a subset of mice and these behavioral changes are consistent with immune system activation in the segmental pain pathway. PERSPECTIVE: These experiments characterized pain-related and depressive-like behaviors and correlated these changes with the immune response post-SCI. While humanizing the rodent is impossible, the results from this study inform clinical literature to closely examine sex differences reported in humans to better understand the underlying shared etiologies of pain and depressive-like behaviors following central nervous system trauma.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation triggers the production of inflammatory factors, influences neuron generation and synaptic plasticity, thus playing an important role in the pathogenesis of depression and becoming an important direction of depression prevention and treatment. Itaconate is a metabolite secreted by macrophages in immunomodulatory responses, that has potent immunomodulatory effects and has been proven to exert anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of diseases. Microglia are mononuclear macrophages that reside in the central nervous system (CNS), and may be the source of endogenous itaconate in the brain. Itaconate can directly inhibit succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), reduce the production of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), activate nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), and block glycolysis, and thereby improving the depressive symptoms associated with the above mechanisms. Notably, itaconate also indirectly ameliorates the depressive symptoms associated with some inflammatory diseases. With the optimization of the structure and the development of new delivery systems, the application value and therapeutic potential of itaconate have been significantly improved. Dimethyl itaconate (DI) and 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI), cell-permeable derivatives of itaconate, are more suitable for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), exhibiting therapeutic effects in the research of multiple diseases. This article provides an overview of the immunomodulatory effects of itaconate and its potential therapeutic efficacy in inflammatory depression, focusing on the promising application of itaconate as a precursor of antidepressants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to measure the levels of sestrin-2 (SESN2) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), which can be determinants in the relevant physiopathology and etiology, assessment of the clinical severity, and identification of new treatment targets in major depressive disorder (MDD) and its subtypes. METHODS A total of 230 volunteers, including 153 patients diagnosed with MDD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and 77 healthy controls, were included in the study. Of the MDD patients included in the study, 40 had melancholic features, 40 had anxious distress features, 38 had atypical features, and the remaining 35 had psychotic features. All participants were administered the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) scale. Serum SESN2 and HIF-1α levels of the participants were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. RESULTS The HIF-1α and SESN2 values of the patient group were found to be significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). The HIF-1α and SESN2 values were significantly lower in patients with melancholic, anxious distress, and atypical features compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The HIF-1α and SESN2 levels did not differ significantly between patients with psychotic features and the control group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The findings of the study suggested that knowledge of SESN2 and HIF-1α levels may contribute to the explanation of the etiology of MDD, objective assessment of the severity of the disease, and identification of new treatment targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is among the most pervasive and debilitating neuropsychiatric sequelae experienced by patients following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). While the individual mechanisms underlying depression and TBI have been widely studied, the neurobiological bases of depression after TBI remain largely unknown. This article highlights the potential mechanisms of action implicated in depression after TBI. RESULTS We review putative mechanisms of action including neuroinflammation, neuroendocrine dysregulation, metabolic abnormalities, and neurotransmitter and circuitry dysfunction. We also identify the current limitations in the field and propose directions for future research. CONCLUSION An improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms will aid the development of precision-guided and personalized treatments for patients suffering from depression after TBI.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, widespread pain disorder generally of a non-inflammatory nature with many known affective and cognitive comorbidities. There is promise in the implementation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) for alleviating FM pain and comorbidities, despite no work investigating the efficacy of this treatment in prominent preclinical FM models. This project aimed to investigate the affective components, specifically anhedonia and anxiety, associated with an acidic saline model of FM in rats. We investigated the acidic saline model's ability to produce the sensory component of FM through reduced mechanical thresholds, as well as anxiety-like and avoidance behaviors through measures of open field and place escape/avoidance. We further investigated the use of pregabalin, a known FM therapeutic agent, in reducing negative sensory and affective measures within the model. Results revealed insignificant between-group differences for measures of anxiety, despite animals in the FM condition showing significantly reduced mechanical thresholds. Results further revealed that the acidic saline model was effective in increasing place escape/avoidance behavior among animals in the FM condition, with pregabalin reducing avoidance behaviors. In addition, we investigated the role of HBO2 [two 60-minute treatments at 2.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute)] in alleviating FM-like pain, anxiety, and anhedonia in the acidic saline model, utilizing mechanical paw withdrawal thresholds, open field, and sucrose preference measures. Results revealed that the acidic saline model produced reduced thresholds indicative of FM-like pain. Data did not provide support for the presence of anxio-depressive comorbidities associated with the FM model. HBO2 treatment did not significantly increase mechanical thresholds as expected. Future studies should seek to investigate the experimental circumstances within which the acidic saline model produces negative affect alongside hyperalgesia in order to contribute to the development of a multidimensional FM treatment methodology.

Abstract
Here we evaluate an alternative protocol to histologically examine blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, brain edema, and lesion volume following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the same set of rodent brain samples. We further compare this novel histological technique to measurements determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a neurological severity score (NSS). Sixty-six rats were randomly assigned to a sham-operated, mild TBI, moderate TBI, or severe TBI group. 48 h after TBI, NSS, MRI and histological techniques were performed to measure TBI severity outcome. Both the histological and MRI techniques were able to detect measurements of severity outcome, but histologically determined outcomes were more sensitive. The two most sensitive techniques for determining the degree of injury following TBI were NSS and histologically determined BBB breakdown. Our results demonstrate that BBB breakdown, brain edema, and lesion volume following TBI can be accurately measured by histological evaluation of the same set of brain samples.

Abstract
For more than six decades, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used for a variety of indications involving tissue repair. These indications comprise a wide range of diseases ranging from intoxications to ischemia-reperfusion injury, crush syndrome, central nervous injury, radiation-induced tissue damage, burn injury and chronic wounds. In a systematic review, the molecular mechanisms triggered by HBO described within the last two decades were compiled. They cover a wide range of pathways, including transcription, cell-to-cell contacts, structure, adhesion and transmigration, vascular signaling and response to oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy and cell death, as well as inflammatory processes. By analyzing 71 predominantly experimental publications, we established an overview of the current concepts regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of HBO. We considered both the abovementioned pathways and their role in various applications and indications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment on traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced neuroinflammation remain unclear. The aim of this study was expected the effect of HBO on CCL2-related signaling pathway following severe TBI in rats. METHODS The severe TBI model in rats was induced by controlled cortical impact. TBI rats were treated with CCR2 antagonist, p38 inhibitor, or HBO. Modified neurological severity scores and Morris water maze were used to evaluate neurological and cognitive function. The expression levels of CCL2 and CCR2 were measured by ELISA and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Phospho-p38 expression was analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS TBI-induced upregulation of CCL2, CCR2, and p38 in the injured cortex. Application of CCR2 antagonist improved neurological and cognitive function of TBI rats. Application of p38 inhibitor decreased expression of CCL2 and CCR2 in the injured of TBI rats, meanwhile improved neurological and cognitive function. HBO improved neurological and cognitive function by decreasing the expressions of CCL2, CCR2, and phospho-p38. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the p38-MAPK-CCL2 signaling pathway could mediate neuroinflammation and HBO therapy can modulate neuroinflammation by modulating the p38-MAPK-CCL2 signaling pathways following TBI. This study may provide theoretical evidence for HBO treatment in the treatment of TBI.

Abstract
Treatment with antidepressants is often insufficiently effective, especially in treatment-resistant depression. In such a situation, it is possible to change the drug, add a second antidepressant, or use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of augmenting the effect of pharmacotherapy. New methods that may fall into the scope of multi-module depression treatment as an augmentation of depression treatment are whole body cryotherapy (WBC) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). 545 records were selected and analyzed for these two treatments and finally three clinical trials were selected for analysis. The review also includes data on the possibility of using WBC and HBOT in somatic indications and in organic mental syndromes. Despite the small number of studies on the effectiveness of WBC or HBOT in depression, the current data show that both methods may be effective in the treatment of depression. WBC may be effective in the augmentation of antidepressants, and additionally, it is a method in which a quick antidepressant effect is obtained. HBOT may be effective in endogenous depression, just as it is effective in the treatment of somatic depression symptoms. The results are very preliminary, but if confirmed in subsequent studies, both WBC and HBOT may become new treatment options in treating depression. The authors point to the need and directions for further research into these treatment methods as an augmentation strategy for pharmacological treatment of depression.

Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy combined with virtual reality (VR) training on oxidative stress indicators (OSIs) and inflammatory factors (IFs) in swimming athletes with depression. 88 swimming athletes suffering from depression were grouped into a control group (group C) and a research group (group R). The patients in group C were given HBO therapy, and the group R was given HBO therapy combined with VR training. The Physical Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) were adopted to assess the depression status of patients. The differences between the two groups of serum OSIs and IFs before and after the intervention were compared and analyzed. The results disclosed that the PHQ-9 score and SCL-90 score in group R were not different from those in group C before the intervention, but those in group R were greatly decreased in contrast to group C after the intervention (
). Before the intervention, there was no obvious difference in the OSIs and the IFs between the two groups. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the two groups were decreased greatly after intervention, and those in the group R were much lower than those in group C (
). Compared with the preintervention, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in both groups were reduced observably, and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were dramatically increased. The MDA in group R was much lower, while the SOD, NO, and GSH-Px were much higher in contrast to group C (
). It indicated that HBO combined with VR training had a good clinical effect for swimming athletes suffering from depression, and it could reduce the oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby helping patients recover quickly.

Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in chronic affective disorders such as depression, anxiety, and fear that persist up to years following injury and significantly impair the quality of life for patients. Although a great deal of research has contributed to defining symptoms of mild TBI, there are no adequate drug therapies for brain-injured individuals. Preclinical studies have modeled these deficits in affective behaviors post-injury to understand the underlying mechanisms with a view to developing appropriate treatment strategies. These studies have also unveiled sex differences that contribute to the varying phenotypes associated with each behavior. Although clinical and preclinical studies have viewed these behavioral deficits as separate entities with unique neurobiological mechanisms, mechanistic similarities suggest that a novel approach is needed to advance research on drug therapy. This review will discuss the circuitry involved in the expression of deficits in affective behaviors following mild TBI in humans and animals and provide evidence that the manifestation of impairment in these behaviors stems from an amygdala-dependent emotional processing deficit. It will highlight mechanistic similarities between these different types of affective behaviors that can potentially advance mild TBI drug therapy by investigating treatments for the deficits in affective behaviors as one entity, requiring the same treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), which has been used as an effective treatment for certain types of tissue injury, may change neural activities in the human brain and subsequently improve symptoms of psychiatric disorders. To scrutinize the neural mechanism of HBO in the human brain, we investigated whether 20 sessions of HBO changed regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) of the limbic system in firefighters with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and subjective emotional distress. METHODS Twenty firefighters with mTBI and mild emotional distress were treated with HBO at a relatively low pressure of 1.3 atmospheres absolute for 45 min a day for 20 consecutive days (the mild emotional distress group). The rCBF of the limbic system was measured using an arterial spin labeling perfusion magnetic resonance imaging before and after the HBO. Analyses were performed on the data from fourteen individuals who completed the study and 14 age- and sex-matched healthy firefighters (the comparison group). RESULTS Firefighters in the mild emotional distress group showed increase rCBF following HBO in a cluster encompassing the right hippocampal and parahippocampal regions (peak t = 4.31; cluster size = 248 mm3)(post-hoc analysis, z = 5.92, p < 0.001) that had lower rCBF relative to the comparison group at baseline (post-hoc analysis, t = -2.20, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated that low-pressure HBO might increase rCBF of the hippocampal and parahippocampal regions, suggesting a potential underpinning mechanism of HBO in the human brain.

Abstract
Background: Neuronal apoptosis and inflammation in the ventral horn of the spinal cord contribute to denervated muscle atrophy post-burn. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) exerts anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. Furthermore, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α has been reported to promote inflammation and apoptosis. We investigated the therapeutic potential of HBOT and the role of HIF-1α post-burn. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: a control group, an untreated burn group receiving burn and sham treatment, and a HBOT group receiving burn injury and HBOT. The burn injury was induced with 75ºC ± 5ºC at the right hindpaw. HBOT (100% oxygen at 2.5 atmosphere, 90 min/day) and sham HBOT (21% oxygen at 1 atmosphere, 90 min/day) was started on day 28 after burn injury and continued for 14 treatments (days 28-41). Incapacitance (hind limb weight bearing) testing was conducted before burn and weekly after burn. At day 42 post-burn, the gastrocnemius muscle and the spinal cord ventral horn were analyzed. Results: HBOT improved burn-induced weight bearing imbalance. At day 42 post-burn, less gastrocnemius muscle atrophy and fibrosis were noted in the HBOT group than in the untreated burn group. In the ventral horn, HBOT attenuated the neuronal apoptosis and glial activation post-burn. The increases in phosphorylated AKT/mTOR post-burn were reduced after HBOT. HBOT also inhibited HIF-1α signaling, as determined by immunofluorescence and western blot. Conclusions: HBOT reduces burn-induced neuronal apoptosis in the ventral horn, possibly through HIF-1α signaling.

Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional factor that regulates gene expressions in response to decreased oxygen levels in the tissue, or hypoxia. HIF-1 exerts protective effects against hypoxia by mediating mitochondrial metabolism and consequently reducing oxidative stress. Recently, increased levels of oxidative stress and abnormal energy metabolism in the brain have been suggested to play essential roles in the pathogenesis of depression. Given that HIF-1 activates creatine metabolism and increases phosphocreatine levels in the intestinal epithelial cells, we assume that HIF-1 may induce similar processes in the brain. Elevated phosphocreatine levels in the brain, as measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, were associated with better treatment response to the antidepressants in individuals with depression. In addition, oral creatine supplements, which led to increased phosphocreatine levels in the brain, also enhanced the effects of antidepressants in individuals with depression. As such, we hypothesized that increasing the HIF-1, which potentially facilitates creatine metabolism in the brain, might be a new therapeutic target in depression. With this regard, we suggested that interventions to elevate the HIF-1 levels in the brain, including the intermittent hypoxia conditioning and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, might be considered as new additional treatments for depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the prognosis and neurological function of patients with severe traumatic brain injury. METHODS A prospective study was carried out in 88 patients diagnosed with severe brain injury at our hospital and they were enrolled as research participants and randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (n = 44 per group) using a random number table method. Both groups underwent routine treatment. Patients in the experimental group were administered hyperbaric oxygen therapy approximately 1 week after admission when their vital signs had stabilized. RESULTS No significant intergroup differences were observed in the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and U.S. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores before treatment. However, after oxygen treatment, compared with the control group, the experimental group showed higher GCS and lower NIHSS scores. The GCS score at admission, tracheotomy status, and first hyperbaric oxygen therapy duration were independent prognostic factors in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. CONCLUSION Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may promote recovery of neurological function and improve the cognitive function and prognosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Stroke serves as a life-threatening disease and continues to face many challenges in the development of safe and effective therapeutic options. The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) demonstrates pre-clinical effectiveness for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and reports reductions in oxidative stress, inflammation, and neural apoptosis. These pathophysiological benefits contribute to improved functional recovery. Current pre-clinical and clinical studies are testing the applications of HBOT for stroke neuroprotection, including its use as a preconditioning regimen. Mild oxidative stress may be able to prime the brain to tolerate full extensive oxidative stress that occurs during a stroke, and HBOT preconditioning has displayed efficacy in establishing such ischemic tolerance. In this review, evidence on the use of HBOT following an ischemic stroke is examined, and the potential for HBOT preconditioning as a neuroprotective strategy. Additionally, HBOT as a stem cell preconditioning is also discussed as a promising strategy, thus maximizing the use of HBOT for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify postinjury physiologic, behavioral, and cognitive biomarkers for posttraumatic epilepsy to enrich study populations for long-term antiepileptogenesis studies. METHODS The EPITARGET cohort with behavioral follow-up and 1-month 24/7 video-electroencephalography (vEEG) monitoring included 115 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with lateral fluid-percussion-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI), 23 sham-operated controls, and 13 naive rats. Animals underwent assessment of somatomotor performance (composite neuroscore), anxiety-like behavior (elevated plus maze, open field), spatial memory (Morris water maze), and depression-like behavior (Porsolt forced swim, sucrose preference). Impact force, postimpact apnea time, postimpact seizure-like behavior, and body weight were monitored. RESULTS TBI rats were impaired in the composite neuroscore (P < .001) on days (D) 2-14 and in the spatial memory test (P < .001) on D35-39 post-TBI. Differences in the elevated plus-maze (D28 and D126) and in the open field (D29 and D127) between TBI rats and controls were meager. No differences were observed in the Porsolt forced swim and sucrose preference tests as compared with sham-operated controls. Epilepsy developed in 27% of rats by the end of the sixth month. None of the behavioral or cognitive outcome measures discriminated rats with or without epilepsy. The receiver-operating characteristic analysis indicated that a decrease in body weight between D0 and D4 differentiated TBI rats with epilepsy from TBI rats without epilepsy (48% sensitivity, 83% specificity, area under the curve [AUC] 0.679, confidence interval [CI] 95% 0.56-0.80, P < .01). A 16% body weight decrease during D0-D4 could be used as a biomarker to enrich the study population from 27% (observed) to 50%. SIGNIFICANCE Single behavioral and cognitive outcome measures showed no power as prognostic/diagnostic biomarkers for posttraumatic epilepsy. A reduction in body weight during the first postinjury week showed some prognostic value for posttraumatic epileptogenesis and could serve as a subacute measure for selectively enriching the study population for long-term preclinical biomarker and therapy discovery studies of posttraumatic epileptogenesis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cortical and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation are associated with behavioral deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI). OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to investigate the potential protective effects of flavonoid chrysin against TBI-induced vestibulomotor impairment, exploratory/locomotor dysfunctions, recognition memory decline, and anxiety/depression-like behaviors, as well as the verified possible involved mechanisms. METHODS Chrysin (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day; P.O.) was administered to rats immediately after diffuse TBI induction, and it was continued for 3 or 14 days. Behavioral functions were assessed by employing standard behavioral paradigms at scheduled points in time. Three days post-TBI, inflammation status was assayed in both cerebral cortex and hippocampus using ELISA kits. Moreover, apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2 family proteins were examined by TUNEL staining and immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS The results indicated that treatment with chrysin improved vestibulomotor dysfunction, ameliorated recognition memory deficit, and attenuated anxiety/depression-like behaviors in the rats with TBI. Chrysin treatment also modulated inflammation status, reduced apoptotic index, and regulated Bcl-2 family proteins expression in the brains of rats with TBI. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the results suggest that chrysin could be beneficial for protection against TBI-associated behavioral deficits, owing to its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Liang XX, Hao YG, Duan XM, Han XL, Cai XX. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for post-stroke depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2020; 195:105910. [PMID: 32474256 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2020.105910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/09/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common consequence of stroke. However, today the majority of PSD patients remains untreated or inadequately treated, especially in the developing countries. Herein, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) therapy for PSD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven electronic databases were comprehensively searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from inception to May 2019. Outcome measures included response rate, depression severity, neurological deficit, physical disability and adverse events. RESULTS A total of 27 RCTs involving 2250 participants were identified. Patients in HBOT group had a higher response rate than patients in control group (response rate: 69.4% vs 51.2%, odds ratio [OR] = 2.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.83-3.43], P = 0.000). HBOT significantly reduced Hamilton Depression (HAMD) -17 item scores (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -4.33, 95% CI [-4.82 to -3.84], P = 0.000), HAMD-24 item scores (WMD = -4.31, 95% CI [-5.01 to -3.62], P = 0.000), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (WMD = -2.77, 95% CI [-3.57 to -1.98], P = 0.000), Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS) scores (WMD = -3.75, 95% CI [-5.12 to -2.38], P = 0.000) and Modified Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MASSS) scores (WMD = -3.66, 95% CI [-6.26 to -1.06], P = 0.000). HBOT also improved Barthel Index (WMD = 10.68, 95% CI [7.98-13.37], P = 0.000). In subgroup analysis, Group A of studies with hemorrhage patients accounting for less than 20% achieved more reduction of HAMD 17-item score (WMD = -4.47, 95% CI [-5.17 to -3.77], P = 0.000) than Group B of studies with hemorrhage patients no less than 20% (WMD = -3.73, 95% CI [-4.20 to -3.26], P = 0.000). In addition, patents with HBOT along with antidepressants treatment achieve superior results than patients with antidepressants monotherapy. Patients with HBOT monotherapy achieve a slightly higher response rate than patients with antidepressants monotherapy (OR = 1.29, 95% CI [1.04-1.60], P = 0.000). Besides, HBOT group reported less adverse events (9.6%vs16.6%, P < 0.05). The most frequent side-effect of HBOT is ear pain (26 cases). CONCLUSION Based on our pooled analysis, HBOT is effective and safe therapeutic approach for PSD. However, results should be cautiously interpreted due to a relatively poor methodological quality.

Triglyceride is a Good Biomarker of Increased Injury Severity on a High Fat Diet Rat After Traumatic Brain Injury. Neurochem Res 2020; 45:1536-1550. [PMID: 32222876 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-020-03018-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/24/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Injury severity is correlated with poor prognosis after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is not known whether triglycerides (TGs) or total cholesterol (TC) is good biomarker of increased injury of neuroinflammation and apoptosis in a high fat diet (HFD)-treated rat after TBI episodes. Five-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed a HFD for 8 weeks. The anesthetized male SD rats were divided into three sub-groups: sham-operated and TBI with 1.6 atm or with 2.4 atm fluid percussion injury (FPI). Cell infarction volume (triphenyltetrazolium chloride stain), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) expression in the microglia (OX42 marker) and astrocytes (Glial fibrillary acidic protein marker), TNF-α receptor expression in the neurons (TNFR1 and TNFR2 markers), and the extent of neuronal apoptosis (TUNEL marker) were evaluated by immunofluorescence, and the functional outcome was assessed by an inclined plane test. These tests were performed 72 h after TBI. Serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels were measured at 24, 48 and 72 h after TBI. The FPI with 2.4 atm significantly increased body weight loss, infarction volume, neuronal apoptosis and TNF-α expression in the microglia and astrocytes, and it decreased the maximum grasp degree and TNFR1 and TNFR2 expression in neurons at the 3rd day following TBI. The serum TG level was positively correlated with FPI force, infarction volume, Neu-N-TUNEL, GFAP-TNFα, and OX42-TNFα Simultaneously; the serum TG level was negatively correlated with Neu-N-TNFR1 and Neu-N-TNFR2. TG is a good biomarker of increased injury for neuroinflammation and apoptosis at the 3rd day after TBI in HFD rats.

Abstract
Individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are characterized by fear memory problems and hypocortisolemia of which traumatic stress-induced monoaminergic disruption over infralimbic (IL) cortex is considered the key mechanism. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has recently proven its utility in treating several mental disorders but remains unexplored for PTSD. The present study aimed to examine the effects of 5-day HBO paradigm on traumatic stress (single prolonged stress, SPS, an animal model of PTSD)-induced dysregulation of fear memory/anxiety profiles and related abnormalities in IL monoamines and plasma corticosterone. Rats were randomly assigned to four groups (CON-sham, CON-HBOT, SPS-sham, and SPS-HBOT) and received Pavlovian fear conditioning test or elevated-T maze (ETM). The extracellular and tissue levels of monoamines over the IL cortex and the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (i.e., the plasma corticosterone level and expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the IL, hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus) were measured. The results demonstrated that HBOT restored behaviorally the SPS-impaired fear extinction retrieval ability and SPS-induced conditioned anxiety, and neurochemically the SPS-reduced IL monoamines efflux level, and the corticosterone profiles. The present study shows some positive effects of HBOT in both behavioral and neurochemical profiles of PTSD outcomes.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces astrogliosis and helps to recovery brain damage in hydrocephalic young rats. Childs Nerv Syst 2018; 34:1125-1134.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the possible beneficial effects that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could offer in different brain structures affected by ventriculomegaly in pup rats submitted to experimental hydrocephalus. METHODS Seven-day-old Wistar rats were submitted to hydrocephalus by intracisternal injection of 10% kaolin into the cisterna magna. The animals were divided into four groups: control (n = 5); control with HBOT (3ATA/2 h/day) (n = 5); untreated hydrocephalic (n = 10); hydrocephalic treated with HBOT (3ATA/2 h/day) (n = 10). The treatment with HBOT was performed daily for 14 days post-induction of hydrocephalus. To evaluate the response to treatment, behavioral tests (open field, Morris water maze, and activity monitor) were performed. After 14 days, the animals were euthanized, and the brain was removed for histological (hematoxylin-eosin and solochrome-cyanine) and immunohistochemical (GFAP and Ki-67) studies. RESULTS The hyperbaric treatment, although not causing changes in ventricular enlargement, resulted in a significant improvement in the behavioral performance (p = 0.0001), with greater agility and exploration of the environment, preservation of spatial memory, and greater learning capacity (p = 0.0001). Through the immunohistochemical study, the astrocytic activity (glial fibrillary acidic protein) in the corpus callosum (p = 0.0001) and in the germinative matrix (p = 0.0033) was significantly reduced as compared to that in the H group. CONCLUSION The results suggest that hyperbaric treatment bettered the behavioral performance and offered benefits to the structures affected by the ventricular increase helping to recover the brain damages. In this way, the HBOT it can be considered an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of hydrocephalus.

Abstract
A substantial number of individuals have long-lasting adverse effects from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Depression is one of these long-term complications that influences many aspects of life. Depression can limit the ability to return to work, and even worsen cognitive function and contribute to dementia. The mechanistic cause for the increased depression risk associated with a TBI remains to be defined. As TBI results in chronic neuroinflammation, and priming of glia to a secondary challenge, the inflammatory theory of depression provides a promising framework for investigating the cause of depression following a TBI. Increases in cytokines similar to those seen in depression in the general population are also increased following a TBI. Biomarker levels of cytokines peak within hours-to-days after the injury, yet pro-inflammatory cytokines may still be elevated above physiological levels months-to-years following TBI, which is the time frame in which post-TBI depression can persist. As tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1 can signal directly at the neuronal synapse, pathophysiological levels of these cytokines can detrimentally alter neuronal synaptic physiology. The purpose of this review is to outline the current evidence for the inflammatory hypothesis of depression specifically as it relates to depression following a TBI. Moreover, we will illustrate the potential synaptic mechanisms by which tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1 could contribute to depression. The association of inflammation with the development of depression is compelling; however, in the context of post-TBI depression, the role of inflammation is understudied. This review attempts to highlight the need to understand and treat the psychological complications of a TBI, potentially by neuroimmune modulation, as the neuropsychiatric disabilities can have a great impact on the rehabilitation from the injury, and overall quality of life.
