Biomolecules 2024; 14:1379. [PMID: 39595556 PMCID: PMC11591878 DOI: 10.3390/biom14111379] [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: 09/12/2024] [Revised: 10/20/2024] [Accepted: 10/25/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia (hHCY) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of homocysteine in plasma. hHCY correlates with a high risk of migraine headaches, especially migraine with aura. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a wave of depolarization passing through neurons and glial cells of the cortex and is considered an electrophysiological correlate of migraine aura. The aim of the present study was to analyze neuronal activity and CSD in the somatosensory cortex of rats in vivo with prenatal hHCY and to assess cortex viability after 2 h of CSD generation. Female rats were fed a diet high in methionine, and their offspring with high homocysteine levels in plasma were further used in experiments. Recurrent CSD was evoked by local KCl application on the dura surface. Neuronal viability was assessed by measuring the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the brain and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining of the somatosensory cortex after two hours of CSD generation. Animals with hHCY exhibited higher neuronal activity, and more CSDs were generated in response to KCl, indicating higher cortical excitability. Propagation of recurrent CSD was impaired in supragranular cortical layers, and the recovery of multiple unit activity and evoked sensory potentials after CSD was delayed in the hHCY group. Finally, in animals with prenatal hHCY, an ischemic focus was identified as a consequence of multiple CSDs, along with elevated levels of LDH activity in brain tissues, suggestive of diminished neuronal viability. These findings imply that prolonged elevated levels of homocysteine may not only predispose to migraine with aura but also potentially elevate the risk of migrainous infarction.

Abstract
Primary headache disorder is the main cause of headache attacks, leading to significant disability and impaired quality of life. This disorder is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous condition with a complex network of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. However, the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of these headaches remain challenging. Precision medicine is a potential strategy based on P4 (predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory) medicine that may bring new insights for headache care. Recent machine learning advances and widely available molecular biology and imaging data have increased the usefulness of this medical strategy. Precision medicine emphasizes classifying headaches according to their risk factors, clinical presentation, and therapy responsiveness to provide individualized headache management. Furthermore, early preventive strategies, mainly utilizing predictive tools, are critical in reducing headache attacks and improving the quality of life of individuals with headaches. The current review comprehensively discusses the potential application value of P4 medicine in headache management.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases can lead to motor, sensory, speech, cognitive dysfunction, and sometimes even death. These diseases are recognized to cause a substantial socio-economic impact on a global scale. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is one of the main active ingredients extracted from the Chinese herbal medicine Ligusticum striatum DC. (Chuan Xiong). Many in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that TMP has a certain role in the treatment of CNS diseases through inhibiting calcium ion overload and glutamate excitotoxicity, anti-oxidative/nitrification stress, mitigating inflammatory response, anti-apoptosis, protecting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and facilitating synaptic plasticity. In this review, we summarize the roles and mechanisms of action of TMP on ischemic cerebrovascular disease, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive impairments, migraine, and depression. Our review will provide new insights into the clinical applications of TMP and the development of novel therapeutics.

Migraine-Associated Common Genetic Variants Confer Greater Risk of Posterior vs. Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke☆. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2022; 31:106546. [PMID: 35576861 PMCID: PMC10601407 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106546] [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: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine potential genetic relationships between migraine and the two distinct phenotypes posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCiS) and anterior circulation ischemic stroke (ACiS), we generated migraine polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and compared these between PCiS and ACiS, and separately vs. non-stroke control subjects. METHODS Acute ischemic stroke cases were classified as PCiS or ACiS based on lesion location on diffusion-weighted MRI. Exclusion criteria were lesions in both vascular territories or uncertain territory; supratentorial PCiS with ipsilateral fetal posterior cerebral artery; and cases with atrial fibrillation. We generated migraine PRS for three migraine phenotypes (any migraine; migraine without aura; migraine with aura) using publicly available GWAS data and compared mean PRSs separately for PCiS and ACiS vs. non-stroke control subjects, and between each stroke phenotype. RESULTS Our primary analyses included 464 PCiS and 1079 ACiS patients with genetic European ancestry. Compared to non-stroke control subjects (n=15396), PRSs of any migraine were associated with increased risk of PCiS (p=0.01-0.03) and decreased risk of ACiS (p=0.010-0.039). Migraine without aura PRSs were significantly associated with PCiS (p=0.008-0.028), but not with ACiS. When comparing PCiS vs. ACiS directly, migraine PRSs were higher in PCiS vs. ACiS for any migraine (p=0.001-0.010) and migraine without aura (p=0.032-0.048). Migraine with aura PRS did not show a differential association in our analyses. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a stronger genetic overlap between unspecified migraine and migraine without aura with PCiS compared to ACiS. Possible shared mechanisms include dysregulation of cerebral vessel endothelial function.
