Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health burden affecting millions of people. Sustained neuroinflammation after TBI is often associated with poor outcome. As a result, increased attention has been placed on the role of immune cells in post-injury recovery. Microglia are highly dynamic after TBI and play a key role in the post-injury neuroinflammatory response. Therefore, microglia represent a malleable post-injury target that could substantially influence long-term outcome after TBI. This review highlights the cell specific role of microglia in TBI pathophysiology. Microglia have been manipulated via genetic deletion, drug inhibition, and pharmacological depletion in various pre-clinical TBI models. Notably, colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) and its receptor (CSF1R) have gained much traction in recent years as a pharmacological target on microglia. CSF1R is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that is essential for microglia proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Small molecule inhibitors targeting CSF1R result in a swift and effective depletion of microglia in rodents. Moreover, discontinuation of the inhibitors is sufficient for microglia repopulation. Attention is placed on summarizing studies that incorporate CSF1R inhibition of microglia. Indeed, microglia depletion affects multiple aspects of TBI pathophysiology, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and functional recovery with measurable influence on astrocytes, peripheral immune cells, and neurons. Taken together, the data highlight an important role for microglia in sustaining neuroinflammation and increasing risk of oxidative stress, which lends to neuronal damage and behavioral deficits chronically after TBI. Ultimately, the insights gained from CSF1R depletion of microglia are critical for understanding the temporospatial role that microglia develop in mediating TBI pathophysiology and recovery.

The Interplay between Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Ferroptosis during Ischemia-Associated Central Nervous System Diseases. Brain Sci 2023; 13:1367. [PMID: 37891735 PMCID: PMC10605666 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13101367] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Cerebral ischemia, a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular pathologies linked to several central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These disorders primarily encompass ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), epilepsy, and other CNS conditions. Despite substantial progress in understanding and treating the underlying pathological processes in various neurological diseases, there is still a notable absence of effective therapeutic approaches aimed specifically at mitigating the damage caused by these illnesses. Remarkably, ischemia causes severe damage to cells in ischemia-associated CNS diseases. Cerebral ischemia initiates oxygen and glucose deprivation, which subsequently promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening, mitophagy dysfunction, and excessive mitochondrial fission, triggering various forms of cell death such as autophagy, apoptosis, as well as ferroptosis. Ferroptosis, a novel type of regulated cell death (RCD), is characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis both play critical roles in the pathogenic progression of ischemia-associated CNS diseases. In recent years, growing evidence has indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction interplays with ferroptosis to aggravate cerebral ischemia injury. However, the potential connections between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in cerebral ischemia have not yet been clarified. Thus, we analyzed the underlying mechanism between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in ischemia-associated CNS diseases. We also discovered that GSH depletion and GPX4 inactivation cause lipoxygenase activation and calcium influx following cerebral ischemia injury, resulting in MPTP opening and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, dysfunction in mitochondrial electron transport and an imbalanced fusion-to-fission ratio can lead to the accumulation of ROS and iron overload, which further contribute to the occurrence of ferroptosis. This creates a vicious cycle that continuously worsens cerebral ischemia injury. In this study, our focus is on exploring the interplay between mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis, which may offer new insights into potential therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ischemia-associated CNS diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death which is considered an oxidative iron-dependent process. The lipid hydroperoxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 prevents the iron (Fe2+)-dependent formation of toxic lipid reactive oxygen species. While emerging evidence indicates that inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 as a hallmark of ferroptosis in many cancer cell lines, the involvement of this biochemical pathway in neuronal death remains largely unclear. Here, we investigate, first whether the ferroptosis key players are involved in the neuronal cell death induced by erastin. The second objective was to examine whether there is a cross talk between ferroptosis and autophagy. The third main was to address neuron response to erastin, with a special focus on ferritin and nuclear receptor coactivator 4-mediated ferritinophagy. To test this in neurons, erastin (0.5-8 µM) was applied to hippocampal HT22 neurons for 16 hours. In addition, cells were cultured with the autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenin (10 mM) and/or ferroptosis inhibitors, ferrostatin 1 (10-20 µM) or deferoxamine (10-200 µM) before exposure to erastin. In this study, we demonstrated by immunofluorescence and western blot analysis, that erastin downregulates dramatically the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4, the sodium-independent cystine-glutamate antiporter and nuclear receptor coactivator 4. The protein levels of ferritin and mitochondrial ferritin in HT22 hippocampal neurons did not remarkably change following erastin treatment. In addition, we demonstrated that not only the ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin1/deferoxamine abrogated the ferroptotic cell death induced by erastin in hippocampal HT22 neurons, but also the potent autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenin. We conclude that (1) erastin-induced ferroptosis in hippocampal HT22 neurons, despite reduced nuclear receptor coactivator 4 levels, (2) that either nuclear receptor coactivator 4-mediated ferritinophagy does not occur or is of secondary importance in this model, (3) that ferroptosis seems to share some features of the autophagic cell death process.

Abstract
Ferritins are iron storage proteins, which maintain cellular iron homeostasis. Among these proteins, the ferritin heavy chain is well characterized, but the regulatory principles of mitochondrial ferritin (FTMT) remain elusive. FTMT appears to be cleaved from a 27 kDa to a 22 kDa form. In human macrophages, FTMT increased under hypoxia in a hypoxia-inducible factor 2-dependent manner. Occurrence of FTMT resulted from cleavage by thrombin, which was supplied by serum. Inhibition of thrombin as well as serum removal decreased FTMT, while supplementation of thrombin under serum-deprived conditions restored its expression. Besides hypoxia, thrombin facilitated FTMT expression after treatment with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3 and the pro-inflammatory stimulus lipopolysaccharide. This study provides insights into the regulation of FTMT under hypoxia and identifies thrombin as a FTMT maturation-associated peptidase.

Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP), which seriously threatens elderly people's health, is rapidly increasing in recent years. However, the specific mechanism of the T2DOP is still unclear. Studies have shown the relationship between iron overload and T2DOP. Mitochondrial ferritin (FtMt) is a protein that stores iron ions and intercepts toxic ferrous ions in cells mitochondria. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell injured way, may be related to the pathogenesis of T2DOP. In this study, we intend to elucidate the effect of FtMt on ferroptosis in osteoblasts and explain the possible mechanism. We first detected the occurrence of ferroptosis in bone tissue and the expression of FtMt after inducing T2DOP rat model. Then we used hFOB1.19 cells to study the influence of high glucose on FtMt, ferroptosis, and osteogenic function of osteoblasts. Then we observed the effect of FtMt on ferroptosis and osteoblast function by lentiviral silencing and overexpression of FtMt. We found ferroptosis in T2DOP rats bone. Overexpression of FtMt reduced osteoblastic ferroptosis under high glucose condition while silent FtMt induced mitophagy through ROS / PINK1/Parkin pathway. Then we found increased ferroptosis in osteoblasts after activating mitophagy by carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl-hydrazine (CCCP, a mitophagy agonist). Our study demonstrated that FtMt inhibited the occurrence of ferroptosis in osteoblasts by reducing oxidative stress caused by excess ferrous ions, and FtMt deficiency induced mitophagy in the pathogenesis of T2DOP. This study suggested that FtMt might serve as a potential target for T2DOP therapy.

Abstract
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and occurrence of coagulopathy after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have important implications for multiple secondary injury processes. Given the extent of post-traumatic changes in neuronal function, significant alterations in some targets, such thrombin (a protease that plays a physiological role in maintaining blood coagulation), play an important role in TBI-induced pathophysiology. Despite the magnitude of thrombin in synaptic plasticity being concentration-dependent, the mechanisms underlying TBI have not been fully elucidated. The understanding of this post-injury neurovascular dysregulation is essential to establish scientific-based rehabilitative strategies. One of these strategies may be supporting physical exercise, considering its relevance in reducing damage after a TBI. However, there are caveats to consider when interpreting the effect of physical exercise on neurovascular dysregulation after TBI. To complete this picture, this review will describe how the interactions established between blood-borne factors (such as thrombin) and physical exercise alter the TBI pathophysiology.

Abstract
Several reports suggest that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exerts multiple biological and physiological effects on the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the exact molecular mechanism involved in this effect is not yet fully known. In this study, we found that H2S alleviated TBI-induced motor and spatial memory deficits, brain pathology, and brain edema. Moreover, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), an H2S donor, treatment markedly increased the expression of Bcl-2, while inhibited the expression of Bax and Cleaved caspase-3 in TBI-challenged rats. Tunnel staining also demonstrated these results. Treatment with NaHS significantly reduced the glutamate and glutaminase 2 (GLS-2) protein levels, and glutamate-mediated oxidative stress in TBI-challenged rats. Furthermore, we demonstrated that H2S treatment inhibited glutamate-mediated oxidative stress through the p53/GLS-2 pathway. Therefore, our results suggested that H2S protects brain injury induced by TBI through modulation of the glutamate-mediated oxidative stress in the p53/GLS-2 pathway-dependent manner.

Abstract
Ferritins (FTs) are iron storage proteins that are involved in managing iron-oxygen balance. In our work, we present a hypothesis on the putative effect of geological changes that have affected the evolution and radiation of ferritin proteins. Based on sequence analysis and phylogeny reconstruction, we hypothesize that two significant factors have been involved in the evolution of ferritin proteins: fluctuations of atmospheric oxygen concentrations, altering redox potential, and changing availability of water rich in bioavailable ferric ions. Fish, ancient amphibians, reptiles, and placental mammals developed the broadest repertoire of singular FTs, attributable to embryonic growth in aquatic environments containing low oxygen levels and abundant forms of soluble iron. In contrast, oviparous land vertebrates, like reptiles and birds, that have developed in high oxygen levels and limited levels of environmental Fe2+ exhibit a lower diversity of singular FTs, but display a broad repertoire of subfamilies, particularly notable in early reptiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that the alteration of antioxidants can been seen in early phase after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in order to block oxidative damage, but little is known about the influence of sex on antioxidant system in patients with TBI. This study investigates whether there are sex differences in these endogenous antioxidant agents during the acute phase after TBI and their association with the disease. METHODS Serum levels of uric acid (UA), bilirubin, albumin and creatinine were measured in 421 individuals included 157 female TBI patients, 156 male TBI patients and 108 age- and sex-matched controls. RESULTS The statistically significant changes were found in UA, bilirubin, albumin and creatinine for both sexes with TBI, but the trend of changes in bilirubin and creatinine was opposite for gender groups. Serum levels of UA, bilirubin, albumin and creatinine were associated with the severity of TBI patients for both sexes. Male patient subgroups with elevated UA, albumin and creatinine had higher frequency of regaining consciousness in a month. Moreover, addition of UA and creatinine to the established clinical model had significantly improved the predictive performance over using clinical model alone in male patients with TBI. However, no similar findings were observed on female TBI patients. CONCLUSION Our results suggest sex-based differences in the serum endogenous antioxidant response to TBI. Use of serum UA and creatinine could help in the outcome prediction of male patients with TBI in combination with other prognostic factors.

Abstract
We assessed the incidence of mechanical injury in drug users. Incidence was 21.9% and exceeds the global average injury rate by 2.4 times Mortality from mechanical injury among drug users ranges from 4.46% to 5%. This value is 4.46-5%, which is 64-71 times higher than the average mortality rates from injury and 89-100 times higher than trauma mortality rate in Russia. Psychoactive drugs from the groups of neurostimulators and neurodepressors have a significant impact on the course of traumatic brain injury; hallucinogens only increase the risk of traumatic injury. In cases of mild traumatic brain injury and concussion combined with drug intoxication, the action of the psychoactive drug is the leading link of pathogenesis. In cases of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury combined with drug intoxication, craniocerebral trauma determines the outcome.

Abstract
Stroke is still a leading cause of death across the world. Despite various signals or molecules that contribute to the pathophysiological process have been investigated, the exact molecular mechanisms revealing stroke damage still remain to be explored. Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) has been identified as a stress-induced macrophage redox protein with multiple functions. Although PRDX1 is a critical factor related to the regulation of immunity, inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress, its effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury were presently unclear. In the study, by using a mouse model of I-R injury, we found that PRDX1 expression was up-regulated during I-R injury in a time-dependent manner. Additionally, PRDX1-knockout mice showed reduced infarction area and alleviated neuropathological scores with decreased brain water contents. Furthermore, cell death and inflammatory response in mice with cerebral I-R injury were markedly attenuated by PRDX1 knockout, which were associated with the blockage of Caspase-3 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways. Mechanistically, PRDX1-regulated cerebral I-R injury was through the promotion of toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4), as proved by the evidence that TLR4 suppression abrogated the exacerbated effect of TLR4 on inflammatory response and apoptosis in oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated primary microglial cells. These data demonstrated that PRDX1 contributed to cerebral stroke by interacting with TLR4, providing an effective therapeutic approach for cerebral I-R injury.

Abstract
Each year approximately 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the US alone. Associated with these head injuries is a high prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms including irritability, depression, and anxiety. Neuroinflammation, due in part to microglia, can worsen or even cause neuropsychiatric disorders after TBI. For example, mounting evidence demonstrates that microglia become “primed” or hyper-reactive with an exaggerated pro-inflammatory phenotype following multiple immune challenges. Microglial priming occurs after experimental TBI and correlates with the emergence of depressive-like behavior as well as cognitive dysfunction. Critically, immune challenges are various and include illness, aging, and stress. The collective influence of any combination of these immune challenges shapes the neuroimmune environment and the response to TBI. For example, stress reliably induces inflammation and could therefore be a gateway to altered neuropathology and behavioral decline following TBI. Given the increasing incidence of stress-related psychiatric disorders after TBI, the degree in which stress affects outcome is of particular interest. This review aims to highlight the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as a key mediator of stress-immune pathway communication following TBI. We will first describe maladaptive neuroinflammation after TBI and how stress contributes to inflammation through both anti- and pro-inflammatory mechanisms. Clinical and experimental data describing HPA-axis dysfunction and consequences of altered stress responses after TBI will be discussed. Lastly, we will review common stress models used after TBI that could better elucidate the relationship between HPA axis dysfunction and maladaptive inflammation following TBI. Together, the studies described in this review suggest that HPA axis dysfunction after brain injury is prevalent and contributes to the dynamic nature of the neuroinflammatory response to brain injury. Experimental stressors that directly engage the HPA axis represent important areas for future research to better define the role of stress-immune pathways in mediating outcome following TBI.

Indomethacin impairs mitochondrial dynamics by activating the PKCζ-p38-DRP1 pathway and inducing apoptosis in gastric cancer and normal mucosal cells. J Biol Chem 2019; 294:8238-8258. [PMID: 30940726 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.ra118.004415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2018] [Revised: 03/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The subcellular mechanism by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) induce apoptosis in gastric cancer and normal mucosal cells is elusive because of the diverse cyclooxygenase-independent effects of these drugs. Using human gastric carcinoma cells (AGSs) and a rat gastric injury model, here we report that the NSAID indomethacin activates the protein kinase Cζ (PKCζ)-p38 MAPK (p38)-dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) pathway and thereby disrupts the physiological balance of mitochondrial dynamics by promoting mitochondrial hyper-fission and dysfunction leading to apoptosis. Notably, DRP1 knockdown or SB203580-induced p38 inhibition reduced indomethacin-induced damage to AGSs. Indomethacin impaired mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fissogenic activation and mitochondrial recruitment of DRP1 and down-regulating fusogenic optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) and mitofusins in rat gastric mucosa. Consistent with OPA1 maintaining cristae architecture, its down-regulation resulted in EM-detectable cristae deformity. Deregulated mitochondrial dynamics resulting in defective mitochondria were evident from enhanced Parkin expression and mitochondrial proteome ubiquitination. Indomethacin ultimately induced mitochondrial metabolic and bioenergetic crises in the rat stomach, indicated by compromised fatty acid oxidation, reduced complex I- associated electron transport chain activity, and ATP depletion. Interestingly, Mdivi-1, a fission-preventing mito-protective drug, reversed indomethacin-induced DRP1 phosphorylation on Ser-616, mitochondrial proteome ubiquitination, and mitochondrial metabolic crisis. Mdivi-1 also prevented indomethacin-induced mitochondrial macromolecular damage, caspase activation, mucosal inflammation, and gastric mucosal injury. Our results identify mitochondrial hyper-fission as a critical and common subcellular event triggered by indomethacin that promotes apoptosis in both gastric cancer and normal mucosal cells, thereby contributing to mucosal injury.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2019; 28:1281-1289. [PMID: 30797643 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2019.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2018] [Revised: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high disability and mortality. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been shown to provide neuroprotection in several neurological diseases. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of Dex on ICH-induced neurological deficits and brain injury and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS ICH mouse model was established by intracerebral injection of autologous blood, followed by Dex or vehicle treatment. Neurological function, brain water content, neuronal activity, and oxidative parameters were determined. The protein expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α), uncoupling protein 2, and manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase were examined by western blotting. RESULTS Dex administration significantly inhibited ICH-induced the memory impairment, dyskinesia, brain edema, and neuron loss. In addition, ICH-induced the increase in brain oxidative stress level was markedly attenuated after Dex treatment, as evidenced by increased glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase levels and reduced malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels. Compared with vehicle-treated ICH mice, Dex-treated ICH mice showed significantly decreased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial ROS (mROS) production in brain, but had no effects on the increased nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity. However, stimulation of mROS abrogated the inhibitory effects of Dex on neurological deficits and oxidative stress. The decrease in production of adenosine triphosphate and the expressions of PGC-1α, uncoupling protein 2, and manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase induced by ICH was restored by Dex treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our results reveal that Dex improves ICH-induced neurological deficits and brain injury by inhibiting PGC-1α pathway inactivation and mitochondrial dysfunction-derived oxidative stress.

Abstract
Currently, there are no approved therapeutic drugs for the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and new targets and approaches are needed to provide relief from the long-term effects of TBI. Recent studies suggest that nutrition plays a critical role in improving the outcome from TBI in both civilians and military personnel. We have previously shown that GrandFusion® (GF) diets improved recovery from cerebral ischemia and enhanced physical activity and endurance in rodent models. We, therefore, sought to determine the impact of a prophylactic diet enriched in fruits and vegetables on recovery from TBI in the controlled cortical impact rodent model. Results demonstrated that mice fed the diets had improved neuromotor function, reduced lesion volume, increased neuronal density in the hippocampus and reduced inflammation. As previously shown, TBI increases cathepsin B as part of the inflammasome complex resulting in elevated inflammatory markers like interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Consumption of the GF diets attenuated the increase in cathepsin B levels and prevented the increase in the proapoptotic factor Bax following TBI. These data suggest that prior consumption of diets enriched in fruits and vegetables either naturally or through powdered form can provide protection from the detrimental effects of TBI.

Abstract
Iron is postulated to contribute to secondary injury after brain trauma through various pathways including oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, one goal is to limit iron toxicity by either directly limiting iron activity, or limiting the secondary cascade mediated by iron, therefore rescuing the brain from damage after trauma. The N,N'-Di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid monohydrochloride (HBED) is a unique iron chelator that has the ability to cross the intact blood-brain barrier; it has a higher affinity to iron, and it has a longer half-life than most commonly used chelators. A controlled-cortical impact model of traumatic brain injury (TBI) was induced in mice. Mice were subcutaneously injected with HBED immediately after TBI, then at 12 h after, followed by a twice-a-day regimen until an end-point of 3 days. Neurobehavioral tests were performed daily. Cortical injury volume, hemispheric enlargement, and hippocampal swelling were quantified. Perls' iron immunostaining along with markers of gliosis, oxidative stress, and aquaporin (AQP) 4 were also performed. Data revealed that HBED treatment significantly decreases motor deficits and improves recovery after TBI. It also reduces cortical injury volume by 36.6 ± 6.8% (p < 0.001), hippocampal swelling by 23.4 ± 3.8% (p < 0.05), and total hemispheric volume by 13.3 ± 2.7% (p < 0.01). These effects are related to a reduction in microgliosis and oxidiative stress markers in the impacted corpus callosum area by 39.8 ± 7.3%, and by 80.5 ± 0.8% (p < 0.05), respectively. AQP4 staining is also attenuated in the hippocampus of HBED-treated mice. Therefore, our results suggest that HBED should be considered as a therapeutic tool to facilitate the recovery process following brain trauma.
