Transl Stroke Res 2022; 13:801-815. [PMID: 35122213 PMCID: PMC9349468 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-022-00992-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a multifunctional protease. In blood tPA is best understood for its role in fibrinolysis, whereas in the brain tPA is reported to regulate blood-brain barrier (BBB) function and to promote neurodegeneration. Thrombolytic tPA is used for the treatment of ischemic stroke. However, its use is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation. In blood the primary regulator of tPA activity is plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), whereas in the brain, its primary inhibitor is thought to be neuroserpin (Nsp). In this study, we compare the effects of PAI-1 and Nsp deficiency in a mouse model of ischemic stroke and show that tPA has both beneficial and harmful effects that are differentially regulated by PAI-1 and Nsp. Following ischemic stroke Nsp deficiency in mice leads to larger strokes, increased BBB permeability, and increased spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. In contrast, PAI-1 deficiency results in smaller infarcts and increased cerebral blood flow recovery. Mechanistically, our data suggests that these differences are largely due to the compartmentalized action of PAI-1 and Nsp, with Nsp deficiency enhancing tPA activity in the CNS which increases BBB permeability and worsens stroke outcomes, while PAI-1 deficiency enhances fibrinolysis and improves recovery. Finally, we show that treatment with a combination therapy that enhances endogenous fibrinolysis by inhibiting PAI-1 with MDI-2268 and reduces BBB permeability by inhibiting tPA-mediated PDGFRα signaling with imatinib significantly reduces infarct size compared to vehicle-treated mice and to mice with either treatment alone.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an insidious, multifactorial disease that involves the devastation of neurons leading to cognitive impairments. Alzheimer's have compounded pathologies of diverse nature, including proteins as one important factor along with mutated genes and enzymes. Although various review articles have proposed biomarkers, still, the statistical importance of proteins is missing. Proteins associated with AD include amyloid precursor protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, calmodulin-like skin protein, hepatocyte growth factor, matrix Metalloproteinase-2. These proteins play a crucial role in the AD hypothesis which includes the tau hypothesis, amyloid-beta (Aβ) hypothesis, cholinergic neuron damage, etc. The present review highlights the role of major proteins and their physiological functions in the early diagnosis of AD. Altered protein expression results in cognitive impairment, synaptic dysfunction, neuronal degradation, and memory loss. On the medicinal ground, efforts of making anti-amyloid, anti-tau, anti-inflammatory treatments are on the peak, having these proteins as putative targets. Few proteins, e.g., Amyloid precursor protein results in the formation of non-soluble sticky Aβ40 and Aβ42 monomers that, over time, aggregate into plaques in the cortical and limbic brain areas and neurogranin is believed to regulate calcium-mediated signaling pathways and thus modulating synaptic plasticity are few putative and potential forthcoming targets for developing effective anti-AD therapies. These proteins may help to diagnose the disease early, bode well for the successful discovery and development of therapeutic and preventative regimens for this devasting public health problem.

LncRNA SERPINB9P1 expression and polymorphisms are associated with ischemic stroke in a Chinese Han population. Neurol Sci 2022; 43:1143-1154.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were reported to play important roles in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). Our study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA SERPINB9P1 expression in ischemic stroke and the association between SERPINB9P1 polymorphisms and IS risk, as well as examine the correlation of SERPINB9P1 expression and variants with clinical parameters of IS. The SERPINB9P1 levels in human participants and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated human A172 cells were measured by qRT-PCR. The SERPINB9P1 polymorphisms (rs375556 and rs318429) were genotyped by the MassARRAY platform. We found that the SERPINB9P1 expression was significantly downregulated in patients with IS compared with that in healthy controls. On the 14th day in the hospital, the SERPINB9P1 level in patients with moderate and severe stroke was significantly downregulated compared with the normal group. After stratification by gender, the rs375556 polymorphism was significantly associated with susceptibility to female IS in the recessive model, and the significant association remained after adjusting for age. After adjusting for gender and age, rs318429 was significantly associated with FPG and D-D levels, and rs375556 was significantly associated with INR and PTA levels in IS cases. Besides, the lncRNA SERPINB9P1 expressed downregulated in OGD/reoxygenation-treated human A172 cells. In conclusion, the lncRNA SERPINB9P1 may protect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and neurological impairment after IS. The SERPINB9P1 rs375556 polymorphism was associated with susceptibility to female IS, and SERPINB9P1 polymorphisms may influence the metabolism of blood glucose and regulation of coagulation function in patients with IS.

Circulating MicroRNAs and Novel Proteins as Potential Biomarkers of Neurological Complications after Heart Bypass Surgery. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10143091.

Abstract
Postoperative recovery can be impaired by many conditions, some of which are difficult to diagnose clinically. These include type 2 neurological complications such as hypoactive subtype of postoperative delirium (PD) and early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (ePOCD). Hope for their timely detection may lie with novel biomarkers. Plasma concentrations of microRNA-1-3p, microRNA-21-5p, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neuroserpin (NSP), phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H (pNfH) and visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) were investigated in 30 patients undergoing elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Blood samples were collected at the start and end of a surgery as well as 24 h postoperatively. Associations between the studied biomarkers’ perioperative expression and type 2 neurological complications were analyzed. PD was associated with postoperative expression of GFAP; ePOCD was associated with postoperative expression of microRNA-21-5p and GFAP as well as intraoperative expression of NSP. The predictive accuracy of these molecules was found acceptable, with all their areas under the curve (AUC) values above 0.7. Multivariable regression indicated that microRNA-21-5p, GFAP and NSP were the only significant predictors of ePOCD. Evaluation of a multi-marker model including these three molecules revealed its outstanding predictive accuracy for ePOCD (AUC = 0.95). The use of microRNA-21-5p, GFAP and NSP for monitoring postoperative recovery warrants further research considering their potential to predict PD and ePOCD.

Abstract
Protective strategy against hypoxic-ischemic (H/I) induced injury has been intensively discussed. Neuroserpin, an inhibitor for tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), has been proved a vital neuroprotective agent in cerebral ischemia mouse model and oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell model. Neuroserpin is a promising therapeutic hint for neonatal hypoxic-ischemia injury. Here, we established a neuroserpin deficient zebrafish to study its role in CoCl2 chemically induced hypoxic injury. CoCl2 exposure was beginning at the embryonic stage. Development defects, neuronal loss, and vascular malformation was assessed by imaging microscopy. Neuroserpin deficient zebrafish showed more development defects, neuronal loss and vascular malformation compared to wide-type. Apoptosis and oxidative stress were evaluated to further identify the possible mechanisms. These findings indicate that neuroserpin could protective against CoCl2 induced hypoxic injury by alleviating oxidative stress.

Abstract
Dementia is a clinical syndrome that affects approximately 47 million people worldwide and is characterized by progressive and irreversible decline of cognitive, behavioral and sesorimotor functions. Alzheimer's disease (AD) accounts for approximately 60-80% of all cases of dementia, and neuropathologically is characterized by extracellular deposits of insoluble amyloid-β (Aβ) and intracellular aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau. Significantly, although for a long time it was believed that the extracellular accumulation of Aβ was the culprit of the symptoms observed in these patients, more recent studies have shown that cognitive decline in people suffering this disease is associated with soluble Aβ-induced synaptic dysfunction instead of the formation of insoluble Aβ-containing extracellular plaques. These observations are translationally relevant because soluble Aβ-induced synaptic dysfunction is an early event in AD that precedes neuronal death, and thus is amenable to therapeutic interventions to prevent cognitive decline before the progression to irreversible brain damage. The plasminogen activating (PA) system is an enzymatic cascade that triggers the degradation of fibrin by catalyzing the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin via two serine proteinases: tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). Experimental evidence reported over the last three decades has shown that tPA and uPA play a role in the pathogenesis of AD. However, these studies have focused on the ability of these plasminogen activators to trigger plasmin-induced cleavage of insoluble Aβ-containing extracellular plaques. In contrast, recent evidence indicates that activity-dependent release of uPA from the presynaptic terminal of cerebral cortical neurons protects the synapse from the deleterious effects of soluble Aβ via a mechanism that does not require plasmin generation or the cleavage of Aβ fibrils. Below we discuss the role of the PA system in the pathogenesis of AD and the translational relevance of data published to this date.

Abstract
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is commonly used to treat acute ischemic stroke within an appropriate therapeutic window. Its inhibitor, neuroserpin (NSP), is reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects on stroke. This review aims to summarize, from literature, the available evidence, potential mechanisms, and knowledge limitations regarding the neuroprotective role of NSP in stroke. All the available evidence indicates that the regulation of the inflammatory response may play a key role in the mechanisms of NSP, which involve all the constituents of the neuroimmune axis. The neuroinflammatory response triggered by stroke can be reversed by NSP, with complicated mechanisms such as maintenance and reconstruction of the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), protection of the cells in the central nervous system, and suppression of cell death in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Moreover, available evidence strongly suggests a tPA-independent mechanism is involved in NSP. However, there are many important issues that are still unclear and need further investigation, such as the effects of NSP on hemorrhagic stroke, the role of the tPA-independent neuroprotective mechanisms, and the clinical application prospects of NSP. We believe our work will be helpful to further understand the neuroprotective role of NSP.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment is a common disease. Many studies attempt to explain the mechanisms of these dysfunctions formation, including correlations between cognitive functions and biochemical parameters. Scientists search for substances that would be indicators of cognitive functions and which could be determined in the cerebrospinal fluid or blood of the subjects. To date, they have isolated a few of such substances; however, research on their specificity, validity and the possibility of their use in diagnostics and prognostic assessment is still ongoing. However, there have been only few reports in the literature systematizing the existing knowledge on this subject, and they are mostly related to Alzheimer's disease, not cognition in general, or referring only to a specific group of substances. This article discusses the most important biochemical exponents of cognitive functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuroserpin is a serine protease inhibitor predominantly expressed in the nervous system functioning mainly in neuronal migration and axonal growth. Neuroprotective effects of neuroserpin were shown in animal models of stroke, brain, and spinal cord injury. Postmortem studies confirmed the involvement of neuroserpin in Alzheimer's disease. Since altered adult neurogenesis was postulated as an aetiological mechanism for bipolar disorder, the possible effect of neuroserpin gene expression in the disorder was evaluated. METHODS Neuroserpin mRNA expression levels were examined in the peripheral blood of bipolar disorder type I manic and euthymic patients and healthy controls using the polymerase chain reaction method. The sample comprised of 60 physically healthy, middle-aged men as participants who had no substance use disorder. RESULTS The gene expression levels of neuroserpin were found lower in the bipolar disorder patients than the healthy controls (p=0.000). The neuroserpin levels did not differ between mania and euthymia (both 96% down-regulated compared to the controls). CONCLUSION Since we detected differences between the patients and the controls, not the disease states, the dysregulation in the neuroserpin gene could be interpreted as a result of the disease itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 neurologic complications of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) include postoperative cognitive dysfunction and delirium. Although relevant clinically, they are rarely properly recognized outside of dedicated research setting, as their identification is complex and time-consuming. The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic potential of 4 novel brain-injury biomarkers for predicting these sequelae at the completion of off-pump CABG. METHODS A total of 100 consecutive patients scheduled for elective isolated off-pump CABG were enrolled. Control group of patients without neurological complications (n = 48) was compared separately to study groups diagnosed with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (n = 39) and delirium (n = 26). Serum concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein, neuroserpin, phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H, and visinin-like protein 1 were evaluated at baseline, end of surgery, as well as on postoperative day 1 and 7. RESULTS Increased end of surgery to baseline ratio of neuroserpin predicted the occurrence of both postoperative cognitive dysfunction (area under the curve = 0.655, 95% confidence interval 0.54-0.77) and delirium (area under curve = 0.643, 95% confidence interval 0.52-0.77). Concentrations of neuroserpin were significantly higher on postoperative day 7 compared with end of surgery and postoperative day 1 in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Among novel biochemical markers of brain damage, neuroserpin may be a promising predictor of type 2 neurological complications and may express neuroregeneration after off-pump CABG, whereas glial fibrillary acidic protein, phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H, and visinin-like protein 1 may not be suitable for this clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neuroprotective effects of neuroserpin (NSP) have been well documented in both patients and animal models with cerebral ischemia; however, have never been investigated in hemorrhagic stroke. The aim of this study is to verify the neuroprotection of NSP in the non-tPA-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mouse model. METHODS C57BL/6J male mice (n = 198) were involved in this study. ICH models were established with infusion of autologous blood into the brain parenchyma. We then detected NSP expression in ICH brains by morphological methods and western blotting analysis. We measured the brain water content and detected blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to verify the neuroprotective effects of NSP. RESULTS We found that NSP protein expression was upregulated in ICH models, with a peak at 48 h after ICH induction. NSP local administration reduced the brain edema and the BBB permeability in ICH models. The neurological deficits were also ameliorated. Thus, the neuroprotection of NSP in ICH state was confirmed. Additionally, we also found that the distribution pattern of occludin-expressing cells was obviously changed by the ICH procedure but partly recovered after NSP administration. This finding indicated that protecting and/or repairing the injured vascular endothelial cells may be a potential mechanism involved in NSP neuroprotection, which needs further verification. CONCLUSIONS Our results supported the fact that NSP may be considered as a potential therapy for ICH for the neuroprotective effects including amelioration of the edema.
