Henrich L, Kiessling I, Steimer M, Frase S, Kaiser S, Schallner N. Circadian dependency of microglial heme oxygenase-1 expression and inflammation determine neuronal injury in hemorrhagic stroke. J Inflamm (Lond) 2023; 20:43. [PMID: 38104143 PMCID: PMC10725034 DOI: 10.1186/s12950-023-00371-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) enzyme pathway is of crucial importance in the removal of toxic blood components and regulation of neuroinflammation following hemorrhagic stroke. Although a circadian pattern dependency in the incidence and severity of hemorrhagic stroke exists, it is unknown whether the activity of the HO-1 system in the context of hemorrhagic injury also exhibits circadian dependency. We hypothesized that the circadian regulation of microglial HO-1 would determine the extent of neuroinflammation and neuronal injury in a murine model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS In vitro expression patterns of HO-1 and circadian rhythm genes were analyzed in the microglial BV-2 cell line and primary microglia (PMG) using Western blot and qPCR. PMG isolated from Hmox1fl/fl and LyzM-Cre-Hmox1fl/fl mice were used to evaluate the role of microglial HO-1. We further investigated the in vivo relevance in a murine subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) model using Hmox1fl/fl and LyzM-Cre-Hmox1fl/fl mice with myeloid cell HO-1 deficiency, inducing SAH at different zeitgeber (ZT) times and analyzing the expression of HO-1 and the circadian control gene Period-2 (Per-2), respectively. Furthermore, we measured the inflammatory cytokine Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) in the cerebrospinal fluid of SAH patients in correlation with clinical outcome. RESULTS HO-1 baseline expression and response to CO with blood exposure depended on ZT. In vitro expression of circadian control genes was de-synchronized in LyzM-Cre-Hmox1fl/fl PMG and did not respond to exogenous CO exposure. We found that circadian rhythm plays a crucial role in brain damage after SAH. At ZT2, we observed less phagocytic function, more vasospasm and increased microglial activation. CO reduced mortality at ZT12 in HO-1 deficient mice and reduced the difference between ZT2 and ZT12 in the inflammatory response. Induction of MCP-1 in the CSF from SAH patients was time-dependent and correlated with the expression of circadian control genes, SAH severity, functional impairment and delirium. CONCLUSIONS Our data point towards a crucial role for the HO-1 enzyme system and circadian control in neuronal injury after a hemorrhagic stroke.

[PMID: 36463380 PMCID: PMC9719492 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25601-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Sepsis remains a significant clinical challenge. Ferroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Ferroptosis is associated with oxidative stress, and excessive oxidative stress is suppressed by milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) under various conditions. However, the role of MFG-E8 in sepsis-induced ferroptosis and oxidative stress is still unclear. First, we collected blood samples from patients with sepsis and detected the expression of serum MFG-E8. Then, the relationship between serum concentrations of MFG-E8 and disease severity was detected. Finally, the effects of MFG-E8 treatment on ferroptosis and oxidative stress in the livers of septic mice were determined. The expression of serum MFG-E8 in healthy subjects was notably higher than that in septic patients. In addition, when nonsurvivors and survivors of sepsis were compared, MFG-E8 levels were considerably lower in the former. The ROC curve for MFG-E8 was also generated. The area under the curve for MFG-E8 was 0.768 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.627-0.909, p = 0.003). The patients were separated into two groups based on the MFG-E8 cut-off value of 3.86 ng/mL. According to the Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis, patients with low MFG-E8 levels had a significantly decreased 28-day survival rate compared with patients with high MFG-E8 levels. High MFG-E8 levels were substantially related to a decreased risk of death, as demonstrated by the Cox proportional hazard model that we utilized. In addition, compared with sham mice, septic mice exhibited liver and kidney damage, and MFG-E8 may have protective effects. The survival study indicated that MFG-E8 could effectively improve the survival rate of septic mice. Treatment with MFG-E8 suppresses oxidative stress and ferroptosis in the livers of septic mice. Serum MFG-E8 levels are lower in septic patients and are negatively related to disease severity. Treatment with MFG-E8 suppresses oxidative stress and ferroptosis in the livers of septic mice, contributing to significantly improved survival in septic mice. These findings showed that MFG-E8 could be a new sepsis predictive biomarker. MFG-E8 may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm is a frequently encountered clinical problem, especially in patients with traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Continued cerebral vasospasm can cause cerebral ischemia, even infarction and delayed ischemic neurologic deficits. It significantly affects the course of the disease and the outcome of the patient. However, the underlying mechanism of cerebral vasospasm is still unclear. Recently, increasing studies focus on the pathogenic mechanism of microparticles. It has been found that microparticles have a non-negligible role in promoting vasospasm. This research aims to summarize the dynamics of microparticles in vivo and identify a causal role of microparticles in the occurrence and development of cerebral vasospasm. We found that these various microparticles showed dynamic characteristics in body fluids and directly or indirectly affect the cerebral vasospasm or prompt it. Due to the different materials carried by microparticles from different cells, there are also differences in the mechanisms that lead to abnormal vasomotor. We suggest that microparticle scavengers might be a promising therapeutic target against microparticles associated complications.

Abstract
Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can impair blood perfusion in brain tissue and cause adverse effects. Microglia, which are the inherent immune cells of the brain, significantly activate and play a role in phagocytosis, anti-inflammatory, proinflammatory, and damage repair in this process. Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is the bridging molecule of this process and mediates the activation and biological effects of microglia. Methods We obtained cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with aSAH at various times (the third day, seventh day, and ninth day) as well as from patients in the control cohort. MFG-E8 protein levels in CSF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Meanwhile, we evaluated the GCS and GOS of aSAH patients on admission and on the third day, seventh day, ninth day, and at discharge. Then, we analyzed the association between the levels of MFG-E8 and the changes in GCS and GOS. Results MFG-E8 expression rose in the early stage on the third day and reached equilibrium around day 7 and day 9. The levels of MFG-E8 on the third day were associated with the change in GOS on the seventh day (r = 0.644, p = 0.018) and ninth day (r = 0.572, p = 0.041) compared with admission but were not correlated with the change on day 3 or at discharge. The levels of MFG-E8 were not correlated with any change in GCS. Conclusions We found that aSAH resulted in an upregulation of MFG-E8 in CSF. Moreover, high MFG-E8 levels in the early stage indicated a rapid recovery of mild aSAH patients.

Abstract
As a group of heterodimeric and transmembrane glycoproteins, integrin receptors are widely expressed in various cell types overall the body. During cardiovascular dysfunction, integrin receptors apply inhibitory effects on the antioxidative pathways, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-Kelch like ECH Associated Protein 1 (Keap1)/antioxidant response element (ARE) and interconnected mediators. As such, dysregulation in integrin signaling pathways influences several aspects of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as heart failure, arrhythmia, angina, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, platelet aggregation and coagulation. So, modulation of integrin pathway could trigger the downstream antioxidant pathways toward cardioprotection. Regarding the involvement of multiple aforementioned mediators in the pathogenesis of CVDs, as well as the side effects of conventional drugs, seeking for novel alternative drugs is of great importance. Accordingly, the plant kingdom could pave the road in the treatment of CVDs. Of natural entities, polyphenols are multi-target and accessible phytochemicals with promising potency and low levels of toxicity. The present study aims at providing the cardioprotective roles of integrin receptors and downstream antioxidant pathways in heart failure, arrhythmia, angina, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, platelet aggregation and coagulation. The potential role of polyphenols has been also revealed in targeting the aforementioned dysregulated signaling mediators in those CVDs.

Abstract
AIM Both MFGE8 and HMGB1 were vital players for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, whether HMGB1 was served as the downstream target of MFGE8 was unknown. To test this new mechanism, we performed the SAH model in rats. METHOD All treatments were injected intraventricularly into the right lateral ventricles. SAH grade, brain water content, and neurological function scores were evaluated. HMGB1 expression was studied by double immunofluorescence staining. HE and Nissl's staining were performed to observe the pathological change. Inflammatory factors were measured by ELISA method. RESULTS High expression of MFGE8 could improve neurological function and reduce the brain edema and pro-inflammatory factors. Injection of rhMFGE8 inhibited HMGB1. To further verify the regulation of MFGE8 in HMGB1, we used rhHMGB1 and glycyrrhizin, and the results indicated MFGE8 produced excellent effect on SAH rats via inhibiting HMGB1. CONCLUSION In a word, MFGE8 improved EBI caused by SAH, depending on HMGB1 that was the potential mechanism.

Abstract
The main reasons for disability and death in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) may be early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Despite studies reporting and progressing when DCI is well-treated clinically, the prognosis is not well-improved. According to the present situation, we regard EBI as the main target of future studies, and one of the key phenotype-oxidative stresses may be called for attention in EBI after laboratory subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We summarized the research progress and updated the literature that has been published about the relationship between experimental and clinical SAH-induced EBI and oxidative stress (OS) in PubMed from January 2016 to June 2021. Many signaling pathways are related to the mechanism of OS in EBI after SAH. Several antioxidative stress drugs were studied and showed a protective response against EBI after SAH. The systematical study of antioxidative stress in EBI after laboratory and clinical SAH may supply us with new therapies about SAH.

Abstract
Leaked blood components, injured endothelial cells, local inflammatory response and vasospasm may converge to promote microthrombosis following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Previously, we showed that the milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFGE8) can mitigate SAH-induced microthrombosis. This present study was aimed to explore the molecular pathway participated in MFGE8-dependent protection on vascular endothelium. Immunofluorescence, immunoblot and behavioral tests were used to determine the molecular partner and signaling pathway mediating the effect of MFGE8 in vascular endothelium in rats with experimental SAH and controls, together with the applications of RNA silencing and pharmacological intervention methods. Relative to control, recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFGE8) treatment increased 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeled new endothelial cells, reduced TUNUL-positive endothelial cells and elevated the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12), in the brains of SAH rats. These effects were reversed by MFGE8 RNA silencing, as well as following cilengitide and wortmannin intervention. These results suggest that MFGE8 promotes endothelial regeneration and mitigates endothelial DNA damage through the activation of the TIGβ5/PI3K/CXCL12 signaling pathway.

EGCG Promotes Neurite Outgrowth through the Integrin β1/FAK/p38 Signaling Pathway after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8810414.

Abstract
The abnormal neurites have long been regarded as the main player contributing to the poor outcome of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). (-)-Eigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major biological component of tea catechin, exhibited strong neuroprotective effects against central nervous system diseases; however, the role of EGCG-mediated neurite outgrowth after SAH has not been delineated. Here, the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS)/integrin β1/FAK/p38 pathway on neurite outgrowth was investigated. As expected, oxyhemoglobin- (OxyHb-) induced excessive ROS level was significantly reduced by EGCG as well as antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC). Consequently, the expression of integrin β1 was significantly inhibited by EGCG and NAC. Meanwhile, EGCG significantly inhibited the overexpression of phosphorylated FAK and p38 to basal level after SAH. As a result, the abnormal neurites and cell injury were rescued by EGCG, which eventually increased energy generation and neurological score after SAH. These results suggested that EGCG promoted neurite outgrowth after SAH by inhibition of ROS/integrin β1/FAK/p38 signaling pathway. Therefore, EGCG might be a new pharmacological agent that targets neurite outgrowth in SAH therapy.

Abstract
The aging of the vasculature plays a crucial role in the pathological progression of various vascular aging-related diseases. As endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are essential parts in the inner and medial layers of vessel wall, respectively, the structural and functional alterations of ECs and VSMCs are the major causes of vascular aging. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a multifunctional glycoprotein which exerts a regulatory role in the intercellular interactions involved in a variety of biological and pathological processes. Emerging evidence suggests that MFG-E8 is a novel and outstanding modulator for vascular aging via targeting at ECs and VSMCs. In this review, we will summarise the cumulative roles and mechanisms of MFG-E8 in vascular aging and vascular aging-related diseases with special emphasis on the functions of ECs and VSMCs. In addition, we also aim to focus on the promising diagnostic function as a biomarker and the potential therapeutic application of MFG-E8 in vascular aging and the clinical evaluation of vascular aging-related diseases.

[PMID: 33245889 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2020.113532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that microglial polarization plays an important role in the pathological processes of neuroinflammation following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Previous studies indicated that milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-8 (MFG-E8) has potential anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in cerebral ischemia. However, the effects of MFG-E8 on microglial polarization have not been evaluated after SAH. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the role of MFG-E8 in anti-inflammation, and its effects on microglial polarization following SAH. We established the SAH model via prechiasmatic cistern blood injection in mice. Double-immunofluorescence staining, western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) were performed to investigate the expression and cellular distribution of MFG-E8. Two different dosages (1 and 5 μg) of recombinant human MFG-E8 (rhMFG-E8) were injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) at 1 h after SAH. Brain water content, neurological scores, beam-walking score, Fluoro-Jade C (FJC), and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick endlabeling staining (TUNEL) were measured at 24 h. Suppression of MFG-E8, integrin β3 and phosphorylation of STAT3 were achieved by specific siRNAs (500 pmol/5 μl) and the STAT3 inhibitor Stattic (5 μM). The potential signaling pathways and microglial polarization were measured by immunofluorescence labeling and western blotting. SAH induction increased the levels of inflammatory mediators and the proportion of M1 cells, and caused neuronal apoptosis in mice at 24 h. Treatment with rhMFG-E8 (5 μg) remarkably decreased brain edema, improved neurological functions, reduced the levels of proinflammatory factors, and promoted the microglial to shift to M2 phenotype. However, knockdown of MFG-E8 and integrin β3 via siRNA abolished the effects of MFG-E8 on anti-inflammation and M2 phenotype polarization. The STAT3 inhibitor Stattic further clarified the role of rhMFG-E8 in microglial polarization by regulating the protein levels of the integrin β3/SOCS3/STAT3 pathway. rhMFG-E8 inhibits neuronal inflammation by transformation the microglial phenotype toward M2 and its direct protective effect on neurons after SAH, which may be mediated by modulation of the integrin β3/SOCS3/STAT3 signaling pathway, highlighting rhMFG-E8 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of SAH patients.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and intracranial aneurysm (IA) are serious arterial diseases in the aorta and brain, respectively. AAA and IA are associated with old age in males and females, respectively, and if rupture occurs, they carry high morbidity and mortality. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to IA rupture has a high rate of complication and fatality. Despite these severe clinical outcomes, preventing or treating these devastating diseases remains an unmet medical need. Inflammation and oxidative stress are shared pathologies of these vascular diseases. Therefore, therapeutic strategies have focused on reducing inflammation and reactive oxygen species levels. Interestingly, in response to cellular stress, the inducible heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is highly upregulated and protects against tissue injury. HO-1 degrades the prooxidant heme and generates molecules with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, resulting in decreased oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, increasing HO-1 activity is an attractive option for therapy. Several HO-1 inducers have been identified and tested in animal models for preventing or alleviating AAA, IA, and SAH. However, clinical trials have shown conflicting results. Further research and the development of highly selective HO-1 regulators may be needed to prevent the initiation and progression of AAA, IA, or SAH.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a brain disorder that causes death and long-term disability in humans, is increasing in prevalence, though there is a lack of protective or therapeutic strategies for mitigating the damage after TBI and for preserving neurological functionality. Microglia cells play a key role in neuroinflammation following TBI, but their regulation and polarization by a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, VEGF-C, is unknown. Here, we show that VEGF-C induced M2 polarization in a murine microglia cell line, BV-2, in vitro, by a mechanism that required signaling from its unique receptor, VEGF receptor 3 (VEGFR3). Moreover, in a TBI model in rats, VEGF-C administration induced M2 polarization of microglia cells, significantly improved motor deficits after experimental TBI, and significantly improved neurological function following TBI, likely through a reduction in cell apoptosis. Together, our data reveal a previously unknown role of VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signaling in the regulation of post-TBI microglia cell polarization, which appears to be crucial for recovery from TBI.

Abstract
Background Because of the failure of numerous clinical trials, various recommendations have been made to improve the usefulness of preclinical studies. Specifically, the STAIR (Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable) recommendations highlighted functional outcome as a critical measure. Recent reviews of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) studies have brought to light the numerous neurobehavioral scoring systems that are used in preclinical SAH studies. To gain insight into the utility of these scoring systems, as well as to identify a scoring system that best captures the deficits caused by SAH in mice, we designed the current study. Methods and Results Adult male C57BL/6J mice were used. One cohort of mice was randomly allocated to either sham or SAH and had functional testing performed on days 1 to 3 post‐SAH using the modified Bederson Score, Katz Score, Garcia Neuroscore, and Parra Neuroscore, as well as 21 individual subtests. A new composite neuroscore was developed using the 8 most diagnostically accurate subtests. To validate the use of the developed composite neuroscore, another cohort of mice was randomly assigned to either the sham or SAH group and neurobehavior was evaluated on days 1 to 3, 5, and 7 after injury. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of each scoring system, as well as the subtests. Of the 4 published scoring systems, the Parra Neuroscore was diagnostically accurate for SAH injury in mice versus the modified Bederson and Katz Scores, but not the Garcia Neuroscore. However, the newly developed composite neuroscore was found to be statistically more diagnostically accurate than even the Parra Neuroscore. Conclusions The findings of this study promote use of the newly developed composite neuroscore for experimental SAH studies in mice.

Brain-Derived Microparticles (BDMPs) Contribute to Neuroinflammation and Lactadherin Reduces BDMP Induced Neuroinflammation and Improves Outcome After Stroke. Front Immunol 2019; 10:2747. [PMID: 31993045 PMCID: PMC6968774 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2019.02747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Microparticles (MPs, ~size between 0.1 and 1 mm) are lipid encased containers derived from intact cells which contain antigen from the parent cells. MPs are involved in intercellular communication and regulate inflammation. Stroke increases secretion of brain derived MP (BDMP) which activate macrophages/microglia and induce neuroinflammation. Lactadherin (Milk fat globule–EGF factor-8) binds to anionic phospholipids and extracellular matrices, promotes apoptotic cell clearance and limits pathogenic antigen cross presentation. In this study, we investigate whether BDMP affects stroke-induced neuroinflammation and whether Lactadherin treatment reduces stroke initiated BDMP-induced neuroinflammation, thereby improving functional outcome after stroke. Middle aged (8–9 months old) male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAo) stroke, and BDMPs were extracted from ischemic brain 24 h after dMCAo by ultracentrifugation. Adult male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to dMCAo and treated via tail vein injection at 3 h after stroke with: (A) +PBS (n = 5/group); (B) +BDMPs (1.5 × 108, n = 6/group); (C) +Lactadherin (400 μg/kg, n = 5/group); (D) +BDMP+Lactadherin (n = 6/group). A battery of neurological function tests were performed and mice sacrificed for immunostaining at 14 days after stroke. Blood plasma was used for Western blot assay. Our data indicate: (1) treatment of Stroke with BDMP significantly increases lesion volume, neurological deficits, blood brain barrier (BBB) leakage, microglial activation, inflammatory cell infiltration (CD45, microglia/macrophages, and neutrophils) into brain, inflammatory factor (TNFα, IL6, and IL1β) expression in brain, increases axon/white matter (WM) damage identified by decreased axon and myelin density, and increases inflammatory factor expression in the plasma when compared to PBS treated stroke mice; (2) when compared to PBS and BDMP treated stroke mice, Lactadherin and BDMP+Lactadherin treatment significantly improves neurological outcome, and decreases lesion volume, BBB leakage, axon/WM injury, inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory factor expression in the ischemic brain, respectively. Lactadherin treatment significantly increases anti-inflammatory factor (IL10) expression in ischemic brain and decreases IL1β expression in plasma compared to PBS and BDMP treated stroke mice, respectively. BDMP increases neuroinflammation and aggravates ischemic brain damage after stroke. Thus, Lactadherin exerts anti-inflammatory effects and improves the clearance of MPs to reduce stroke and BDMP induced neurological deficits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis play important roles in the pathogenesis of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The activation of TGR5, a novel membrane-bound bile acid receptor, possesses anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic effects in hepatobiliary disease and kidney disease. The present study aimed to explore the neuroprotective effect of TGR5 activation against EBI after SAH and the potential underlying mechanisms. METHODS The endovascular perforation model of SAH was performed on 199 Sprague Dawley rats to investigate the beneficial effects of TGR5 activation after SAH. INT-777, a specific synthetic TGR5 agonist, was administered intranasally at 1 h after SAH induction. TGR5 CRISPR and ALDH2 CRISPR were administered intracerebroventricularly at 48 h before SAH to illuminate potential mechanisms. The SAH grade, short-term and long-term neurobehavioral tests, TUNEL staining, Fluoro-Jade C staining, Nissl staining, immunofluorescence staining, and western blots were performed at 24 h after SAH. RESULTS The expressions of endogenous TGR5 and ALDH2 gradually increased and peaked at 24 h after SAH. TGR5 was expressed primarily in neurons, as well as in astrocytes and microglia. The activation of TGR5 with INT-777 significantly improved the short-term and long-term neurological deficits, accompanied by reduced the oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis at 24 h after SAH. Moreover, INT-777 treatment significantly increased the expressions of TGR5, cAMP, phosphorylated PKCε, ALDH2, HO-1, and Bcl-2, while downregulated the expressions of 4-HNE, Bax, and Cleaved Caspase-3. TGR5 CRISPR and ALDH2 CRISPR abolished the neuroprotective effects of TGR5 activation after SAH. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the activation of TGR5 with INT-777 attenuated oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis via the cAMP/PKCε/ALDH2 signaling pathway after SAH in rats. Furthermore, TGR5 may serve as a novel therapeutic target to ameliorate EBI after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating cerebrovascular disease that leads to poor outcomes. Neurogenesis, an essential recovery mechanism after brain injury, has not been fully elucidated after SAH. METHODS A total of 122 SD rats were used in this study. For experiment one, the rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham and SAH with different time points (1,3,5,7,14 days) (n = 12/group). An endovascular perforation method was conducted for SAH model. Rats were injected with 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU, 50 mg/kg) 24 h before euthanasia at different time points after SAH. The BrdU labeled cells were detected by immunohistochemistry; Doublecortin (DCX) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were measured by western blot and immunohistochemistry. For experiment two, rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham and SAH with different time points (1, 2, 4, 8 weeks) (n = 6/group). Rats received BrdU (50 mg/kg) once daily for 7 days after the induction of SAH. Double immunofluorescence staining was used to verify proliferation, differentiation and migration of progenitor cells. Rotarod test and water maze used to test the neurobehavioral recovery. RESULTS Our results showed that BrdU positive cells in hippocampus changed overtime after SAH. BrdU positive cells decreased as early as 1 day reaching lowest levels at 3 days after SAH, after which it gradually recovered. Similar change patterns were observed with DCX, which was reversed with GFAP. In addition, BrdU did not co-localize with cleaved caspase-3. The BrdU positive cells mainly differentiated into immature neurons for short-term fate, whereas they differentiated into mature neurons for long-term fate but not astrocytes, which facilitated neurobehavioral recovery after SAH. CONCLUSION Neurogenesis in the hippocampus changes overtime after SAH. The neuronal progenitor cells may play an essential role in the neurobehavioral recovery after brain injury induced by SAH, since short-term progenitors helped with the recovery of immature neurons in the hippocampus, whereas long-term progenitors differentiated into mature neurons.

Abstract
Exposure to trichloroethene (TCE), an occupational and ubiquitous environmental contaminant, is associated with the development of several autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). However, mechanisms contributing to TCE-mediated AIH are not known. Earlier, we have shown that dichloroacetyl chloride (DCAC), one of the reactive metabolites of TCE with strong acylating capability, can elicit an autoimmune response at much lower dose than TCE in female MRL+/+ mice. Furthermore, Kupffer cells (KCs), the liver resident macrophages, are crucial for hepatic homeostasis, but can also participate in the immunopathogenesis of AIH. However, contribution of KCs in TCE-mediated AIH and the underlying mechanisms are not understood. We hypothesized that increased apoptosis and delayed clearance of apoptotic bodies, due to compromised KC function, will result in the breakdown of self-tolerance, autoimmunity, and ultimately AIH. Therefore, using an in vitro model of immortalized mouse KCs, we investigated the contribution of DCAC in TCE-mediated AIH. KCs were treated with different concentrations of DCAC and apoptosis was measured by Annexin V and PI staining. Also, the impact of DCAC on phagocytic potential of KCs was evaluated. Furthermore, markers of inflammasome (NLRP3 and caspase1) were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. DCAC treatment resulted in significantly increased early and late-stage apoptosis, accompanied with inflammasome activation (NLRP3 increases). DCAC treatment resulted in decreased phagocytic function of KCs in a dose-dependent manner, with reduced MFG-E8 levels (phagocytotic function). Furthermore, DCAC exposure led to induction of phos-ERK and phos-AKT signaling. These findings suggest that DCAC induces apoptosis and inflammasome activation, while compromising the phagocytic function of KCs. Our data support that increased apoptosis and impaired KC function by DCAC could be contributory to TCE-mediated AIH.

[PMID: 30154436 PMCID: PMC6113274 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0939-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2018] [Revised: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests neuronal apoptosis has the potential to lead to more harmful effects in the pathological processes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies have established that milk fat globule-EGF factor-8 (MFG-E8) provides neuroprotection through modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and especially apoptosis in cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative disease. However, the effects of MFG-E8 on neuronal apoptosis in TBI have not yet been investigated. Therefore, we explored the role of MFG-E8 on anti-apoptosis and its potential mechanism following TBI. In the first set of experiments, adult male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into Sham and TBI groups that were each further divided into five groups representing different time points (6 h, 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days) (n = 9 each). Western blotting, quantitative real-time PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were performed to identify the expression and cellular localization of MFG-E8. In the second set of experiments, four groups were randomly assigned: Sham group, TBI + Vehicle group, and TBI + rhMFG-E8 (1 and 3 µg) (n = 15). Recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFG-E8) was administrated as two concentrations through intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection at 1 h after TBI induction. Brain water content, neurological severity score, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were measured at 24 and 72 h following TBI. In the final set of experiments, MFG-E8 siRNA (500 pmol/3 µl), integrin β3 siRNA (500 pmol/3 µl), and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (5 and 20 µM) were injected i.c.v. and thereafter rats exposed to TBI. Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, brain water content, neurological severity score, and Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining were used to investigate the effect of the integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway on MFG-E8-mediated anti-apoptosis after TBI. The expression of MFG-E8 was mainly located in microglial cells and increased to peak at 24 h after TBI. Treatment with rhMFG-E8 (3 µg) markedly decreased brain water content, improved neurological deficits, and reduced neuronal apoptosis at 24 and 72 h after TBI. rhMFG-E8 significantly enhanced the expression of integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway-related components. Administration of integrin-β3 siRNA and LY294002 (5 and 20 µM) abolished the effect of rhMFG-E8 on anti-apoptosis and neuroprotection after TBI. This study demonstrated for the first time that rhMFG-E8 inhibits neuronal apoptosis and offers neuroprotection. This is suggested to occur through the modulation of the integrin-β3/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, highlighting rhMFG-E8 as a potentially promising therapeutic strategy for TBI patients.

Abstract
The transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 (TDP-43) may be involved in neurodegenerative disease and in the response to brain injury; however, alterations in the expression of TDP-43 following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) require further investigation. The present study reported a notable elevation in the expression of TDP-43 within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with aneurysmal SAH and increased brain expression of TDP-43 in a rat model of SAH. The TDP-43 protein and a derivative migrated at 43 and 24 kDa, respectively, as observed via the immunoblotting of concentrated CSF samples obtained from patients with SAH; no signal was detected in the CSF from healthy controls. SAH in rats was induced by intravascular suture puncture. The expression levels of TDP-43 in rat cortical lysates following SAH were increased at 0.5 h, peaked at 48 h and remained significantly elevated at 72 h post-injury, compared with sham controls. TDP-43 immunolabeling indication localization within neurons, astrocytes and microglia in the experimental rats. Collectively, the findings of the present study indicated the early involvement of TDP-43 in the brain in response to SAH, and that expression levels of TDP-43 in the CSF may serve as a prognostic biomarker among patients with this condition.

Abstract
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease worldwide, characterized by airway remodeling and chronic inflammation, orchestrated primarily by Th2 cytokines. The aim of the current study was to explore the influences of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8)/integrin β3 signaling involved in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma. BALB/c mice were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin (OVA), followed by OVA nebulization. The levels of MFG-E8 expression were declined markedly in the OVA-induced allergy murine model. In addition, administration of MFG-E8 strongly reduced the accumulation of T-helper type 2 (Th2)-associated cytokines (such as interleukin-4, -5, and -13) as well as chemokine CCL11 (eotaxin) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and tissues in the OVA-sensitized mice. Moreover, MFG-E8 remarkably repressed the total immunoglobulin E and OVA-specific immunoglobulin E in serum in OVA-challenged mice. Meanwhile, treatment with recombinant murine MFG-E8 noticeably prevented inflammatory cell infiltration into the airways, as showed by a marked decrease in the numbers of total immune cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in response to OVA challenge. Importantly, MFG-E8 apparently alleviated OVA-driven airway remodeling, which were evidenced by declined secretion of important mediators of airway remodeling, including transforming growth factor-β1, matrix metalloproteinase 9, ADAM8, and vascular endothelial growth factor, and reduced airway collagen deposition and inhibited goblet cell hyperplasia in OVA-induced asthma in mice. Mechanistically, integrin 3 contributes to the protective effect of MFG-E8 in inhibiting airway inflammation and remodeling in OVA-driven features of allergic asthma. Overall, MFG-E8, as a candidate molecule to evaluate airway inflammation and remodeling, could be a potential target for the management and prevention of asthma exacerbations, suggesting that MFG-E8/integrin β3 signaling may serve as a promising therapeutic agent for childhood asthma.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can lead to inflammation and neuronal dysfunction. There is a need for effective strategies to mitigate these effects and improve the outcome of patients who experience SAH. The mRNA-destabilizing protein tristetraprolin (TTP) is an anti-inflammatory factor that induces the decay of cytokine transcripts and has been implicated in diseases such as glioma. However, the mechanism of action of TTP in EBI after SAH is unclear. The present study investigated the effects of TTP regulation via phosphorylation in a rat model of SAH by protein phosphatase (PP)2A, which is a pleiotropic enzyme complex with multiple substrate phospho-proteins. We hypothesized that inhibitory phosphorylation of TTP by PP2A would reduce neuroinflammation and apoptosis. To evaluate the function of each factor, the PP2A agonist FTY720, short interfering (si)RNAs targeting TTP and PP2A were administered to rats by intracerebroventricular injection 24 h before SAH. Rats were evaluated with SAH grade, neurological score, brain water content and by western blotting, and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase dUTP nick-end labeling. We found that endogenous PP2A and TTP levels were increased after SAH. FTY720 induced PP2A activation would lead to dephosphorylation and activation of TTP and decreased production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8. SiRNA-mediated TTP knockdown abolished anti-inflammatory effects of FTY720 treatment, indicating that PP2A was associated with TTP activation in vivo. Decreased TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 levels were associated with improvement of neurological function, reduction of brain edema, suppression of caspase-3, and up-regulation of B cell lymphoma-2. These results demonstrated that PP2A activation could enhance the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of TTP, by which it might shed light on the development of an effective therapeutic strategy against EBI following SAH.

Milk Fat Globule-Epidermal Growth Factor-8 Pretreatment Attenuates Apoptosis and Inflammation via the Integrin-β3 Pathway after Surgical Brain Injury in Rats. Front Neurol 2018.

Abstract
Iatrogenic brain injury inevitably occurs in neurosurgical operations, leading to brain edema, ischemia, intracranial hematoma, and other postoperative complications, eventually worsening neurological outcomes of patients. If apoptotic cells are not rapidly eliminated by phagocytic engulfment, they may communicate with surrounding cells to undergo secondary necrosis and releasing toxic signals. Recent studies have shown that milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-8 (MFGE8), which promotes phagocytosis and inhibits inflammation, is an endogenous protective factor in response to brain infarction, Alzheimer’s disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and prion disease. In the present study, we sought to investigate the different effects of both pretreated and posttreated recombinant milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-8 (rhMFGE8) for the surgical brain injury (SBI) rat model and potential involvement of its receptor integrin β3 for apoptosis and neuroinflammation after SBI. One hundred and sixty-seven male rats were employed in the preset study. Experiment 1 was performed to evaluate neurological scores and MFGE8, cleaved caspase-3 (CC3), and interleukine-1 beta (IL-1β) levels at 3, 24, and 120 h after SBI. Experiment 2 was performed to evaluate the effects of rhMFGE8 pretreatment (10 min before SBI) and rhMFGE8 posttreatment (6 h after SBI) on brain edema at 24 and 72 h after SBI. Experiment 3 was performed to evaluate the potential anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects of rhMFGE8 pretreatment and posttreatment. Experiment 4 sought to investigate the involvement of the integrin-β3 signal in the effects of MFGE8 pretreatment. Our data showed rhMFGE8 pretreatment alleviated neurological deficits and decreased brain water content and apoptotic cells in the SBI model, which exhibited neurological dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammation. Meanwhile, MFGE8 siRNA, which inhibited endogenous MFGE8 expression, significantly increased IL-1β, TUNEL positive cells, and CC3. Furthermore, knockdown of its receptor integrin β3 by siRNA abolished the effects of rhMFGE8 in the SBI model. In conclusion, we found that rhMFGE8 pretreatment effectively alleviated neurological deficits and decreased brain water content and apoptotic cells in the SBI model through the MFGE8/integrin-β3 pathway, and treatment time was an important factor in achieving curative effects. Therefore, MFGE8 pretreatment may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for SBI patients.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a) plays a beneficial role during cerebral ischemia reperfusion (IR), but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects and molecular regulation of HIF-1a on brain cell apoptosis and autophagy during IR. We found that augmentation of HIF-1a in re-perfused hematopoietic cells significantly reduced brain damage, alleviated brain edema and improved neural function during IR, seemingly through two HIF-1a target genes BNIP3 and NIX, which were critical regulators for cell apoptosis and autophagic cell survival. in vitro, HIF-1a induced up-regulation of BNIP3 and NIX in human cortical neuron cells, HCN-1A. Inhibition of BNIP3 and NIX significantly attenuated HIF-1a-suppressed cell apoptosis and HIF-1a-induced cell autophagy. Together, these data suggest that HIF-1a may ameliorate brain damages during IR through BNIP3 and NIX -dependent augmentation of autophagic cell survival and reduction in cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common and frequently life-threatening cerebrovascular disease, which is mostly related with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Its complications include rebleeding, early brain injury, cerebral vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia, chronic hydrocephalus, and also non neurological problems. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), comprising of microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), play an important role in intracranial aneurysms and SAH. Here, we review the non-coding RNAs expression profile and their related mechanisms in intracranial aneurysms and SAH. Moreover, we suggest that these non-coding RNAs function as novel molecular biomarkers to predict intracranial aneurysms and SAH, and may yield new therapies after SAH in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK/MA3K12) has been reported involved in apoptosis and neuronal degeneration during neural development and traumatic brain injury. This study was designed to investigate the role of DLK with its adaptor protein JNK interacting protein-3 (JIP3), and its downstream MA2K7/JNK signaling pathway in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a rat model. DESIGN Controlled in vivo laboratory study. SETTING Animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS Two hundred and twenty-three adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 280-320g. INTERVENTIONS SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in rats. The SAH grade, neurological score, and brain water content were measured at 24 and 72h after SAH. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the cells that expressed DLK. The terminal deoxynucleotid transferase-deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to detect the neuronal apoptosis. In mechanism research, the expression of DLK, JIP3, phosphorylated-JNK (p-JNK)/JNK, and cleaved caspase-3 (CC-3) were analyzed by western blot at 24h after SAH. The DLK small interfering RNA (siRNA), JIP3 siRNA, MA2K7 siRNA and recombinant DLK protein which injected intracerebroventricularly were given as the interventions. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The DLK expression was increased in the left cortex neurons and peaked at 24h after SAH. DLK siRNA attenuated brain edema, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and improved the neurobehavioral functions after SAH, but the recombinant DLK protein deteriorated neurobehavioral functions and brain edema. DLK siRNA decreased and recombinant DLK protein increased the expression of MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3 at 24h after SAH. The JIP3 siRNA reduced the level of JIP3/MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3, combined DLK siRNA and JIP3 siRNA further decreased the expression of DLK/MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3, and MA2K7 siRNA lowered the amount of MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3 at 24h after SAH. CONCLUSIONS As a negative role, DLK was involved in EBI after SAH, possibly mediated by its adaptor protein JIP3 and MA2K7/JNK signaling pathways. To reduce the level of DLK may be a new target as intervention for SAH.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether Cyclosporine A (CsA) attenuates early brain injury by alleviating matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) associated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A standard intravascular perforation model was used to produce the experimental SAH in C57B6J mice. Dosages of 5mg/kg, 10mg/kg and 15mg/kg CsA were evaluated for effects on neurological score, brain water content, Evans blue extravasation and fluorescence, P-p65, MMP-9 and BBB components' alterations after SAH. We found that CsA 15mg/kg is effective in attenuating BBB disruption, lowering edema, and improving neurological outcomes. In addition, Collagen IV, ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin 5 expressions in ipsilateral/left hemisphere were downregulated after SAH, but increased after CsA treatment. Our results suggest that CsA exert a neuroprotective role in SAH pathophysiology, possibly by alleviating MMP-9 associated BBB disruption.

Methazolamide improves neurological behavior by inhibition of neuron apoptosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage mice. Sci Rep 2016; 6:35055. [PMID: 27731352 PMCID: PMC5059745 DOI: 10.1038/srep35055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2016] [Accepted: 09/20/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) results in significant nerve dysfunction, such as hemiplegia, mood disorders, cognitive and memory impairment. Currently, no clear measures can reduce brain nerve damage. The study of brain nerve protection after SAH is of great significance. We aim to evaluate the protective effects and the possible mechanism of methazolamide in C57BL/6J SAH animal model in vivo and in blood-induced primary cortical neuron (PCNs) cellular model of SAH in vitro. We demonstrate that methazolamide accelerates the recovery of neurological damage, effectively relieves cerebral edema, and improves cognitive function in SAH mice as well as offers neuroprotection in blood- or hemoglobin-treated PCNs and partially restores normal neuronal morphology. In addition, western blot analyses show obviously decreased expression of active caspase-3 in methazolamide-treated SAH mice comparing with vehicle-treated SAH animals. Furthermore, methazolamide effectively inhibits ROS production in PCNs induced by blood exposure or hemoglobin insult. However, methazolamide has no protective effects in morality, fluctuation of cerebral blood flow, SAH grade, and cerebral vasospasm of SAH mice. Given methazolamide, a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, can penetrate the blood–brain barrier and has been used in clinic in the treatment of ocular conditions, it provides potential as a novel therapy for SAH.

LSKL peptide alleviates subarachnoid fibrosis and hydrocephalus by inhibiting TSP1-mediated TGF-β1 signaling activity following subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Exp Ther Med 2016; 12:2537-2543. [PMID: 27698755 PMCID: PMC5038515 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2016.3640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2015] [Accepted: 02/24/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydrocephalus has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for poor outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Blockage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and drainage is widely considered to play a vital role in communicating hydrocephalus, possibly due to subarachnoid fibrosis. A previous study indicated that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), a key fibrogenic factor, is significantly increased in the CSF following SAH, implying a pivotal role in the development of chronic hydrocephalus. To investigate whether LSKL peptide, a small molecular peptide and competitive antagonist for TGF-β1, protects against subarachnoid fibrosis and hydrocephalus after SAH, a two-hemorrhage injection model of SAH was created in Sprague-Dawley rats. LSKL (1 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally immediately following the first intravenous injection of blood in the SAH model, with repeated injections of LSKL every 12 h until sacrifice. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), TGF-β1, p-Smad2/3, collagen I and pro-collagen I c-terminal propeptide levels were assessed via western blotting and ELISA. Lateral ventricular index, Masson staining and Morris water maze tests were employed to evaluate subarachnoid fibrosis, hydrocephalus and long-term neurological function following SAH. It was found that the LKSL peptide readily crossed the blood brain barrier, was protective against subarachnoid fibrosis, attenuated ventriculomegaly and effectively suppressed hydrocephalus. In addition, the results indicated that the protective effects of the LSKL peptide were achieved via the inhibition of TGF-β1 activity and subsequent Smad2/3 signaling. Importantly, the LSKL peptide may improve long-term neurocognitive deficits after SAH. In conclusion, the LSKL peptide suppresses subarachnoid fibrosis via inhibition of TSP1-mediated TGF-β1 activity, prevents the development of chronic hydrocephalus and improves long-term neurocognitive defects following SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine, a sedative agent, provides neuroprotection when administered during or before brain ischaemia. This study was designed to determine whether dexmedetomidine post-treatment induces neuroprotection against subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and the mechanisms for this effect. METHODS Subarachnoid haemorrhage was induced by endovascular perforation to the junction of the right middle and anterior cerebral arteries in adult rats. Dexmedetomidine was applied immediately or 2 h after onset of SAH. Neurological outcome was evaluated 2 days after SAH. Right frontal cortex area 1 was harvested 24 h after SAH for western blotting. RESULTS Subarachnoid haemorrhage reduced neurological scores and increased brain oedema and blood-brain barrier permeability. These effects were attenuated by dexmedetomidine post-treatment. Neuroprotection by dexmedetomidine was abolished by PD98095, an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation. Phospho-ERK, the activated form of ERK, was increased by dexmedetomidine; this activation was inhibited by PD98095. CONCLUSIONS Dexmedetomidine post-treatment provides neuroprotection against SAH. This effect appears to be mediated by ERK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Since tozasertib is neuroprotective for injured optic nerve, this study is intended to test whether tozasertib reduces early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a rat model. METHODS Two hundred sixteen (216) male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly subjected to endovascular perforation model of SAH and sham group. SAH grade, neurological score, and brain water content were measured at 24 and 72 h after SAH. Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) and its downstream factors, JNK-interacting protein 3 (JIP3), MA2K7, p-JNK/JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase), and apoptosis related proteins cleaved caspase-3 (CC-3), Bim, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-9 (CC-9) were analyzed by western blot at 24 h after SAH. Apoptotic cells were detected by terminal deoxynucleotid transferase-deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling (TUNEL). DLK small interfering RNA (siRNA), JIP3 siRNA and MA2K7 siRNA, the JNK, p38MAPK, and MEK inhibitors SP600125, SB203580, and PD98059 were used for intervention. RESULTS Tozasertib reduced neuronal apoptosis, attenuated brain edema and improved neurobehavioral deficits 24 and 72 h after SAH. At 24 h After SAH, DLK/JIP3/MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3 expressions were elevated markedly and tozasertib reduced DLK, MA2K7/p-JNK/CC-3 expressions but enhanced JIP3 expression. In the presence of tozasertib, DLK/JIP3/MA2K7 siRNA and SP600125, SB203580 and PD98059 deteriorated the neurobehavioral deficits, brain edema and increased the expression of CC-3. SAH potentiated the expression of Bim, CC-9, and CC-3 but reduced Bcl-2, while tozasertib reduced expression of Bim, CC-9, and CC-3 but enhanced Bcl-2. CONCLUSIONS Tozasertib reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved outcome possibly via DLK/JIP3/MA2K7/JNK pathways after SAH.

Recombinant Osteopontin Stabilizes Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype via Integrin Receptor/Integrin-Linked Kinase/Rac-1 Pathway After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats. Stroke 2016; 47:1319-27. [PMID: 27006454 DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.115.011552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2015] [Accepted: 02/22/2016] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recombinant osteopontin (rOPN) has been reported to be neuroprotective in stroke animal models. The purpose of this study is to investigate a potential role and mechanism of nasal administration of rOPN on preserving the vascular smooth muscle phenotype in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS One hundred and ninety-two male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The SAH model was induced by endovascular perforation. Integrin-linked kinase small interfering RNA was intracerebroventricularly injected 48 hours before SAH. The integrin receptor antagonist fibronectin-derived peptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro (GRGDSP), focal adhesion kinase inhibitor Fib-14, and Rac-1 inhibitor NSC23766 were administered 1 hour before SAH induction. rOPN was administered via the intracerebroventricular and nasal route after SAH. SAH grade, neurological scores, brain water content, brain swelling, hematoxylin and eosin staining, India ink angiography, Western blots, and immunofluorescence were used to study the mechanisms of rOPN on the vascular smooth muscle phenotypic transformation. RESULTS The marker proteins of vascular smooth muscle phenotypic transformation α-smooth muscle actin decreased and embryonic smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMemb) increased significantly at 24 and 72 hours in the cerebral arteries after SAH. rOPN prevented the changes of α-smooth muscle actin and SMemb and significantly alleviated neurobehavioral dysfunction, increased the cross-sectional area and the lumen diameter of the cerebral arteries, reduced the brain water content and brain swelling, and improved the wall thickness of cerebral arteries. These effects of rOPN were abolished by GRGDSP, integrin-linked kinase small interfering RNA, and NSC23766. Intranasal application of rOPN at 3 hours after SAH also reduced neurological deficits. CONCLUSIONS rOPN prevented the vascular smooth muscle phenotypic transformation and improved the neurological outcome, which was possibly mediated by the integrin receptor/integrin-linked kinase/Rac-1 pathway.

Abstract
Chronic hydrocephalus is one of the severe complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, there is no efficient treatment for the prevention of chronic hydrocephalus, partially due to poor understanding of underlying pathogenesis, subarachnoid fibrosis. Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) is a potent fibrogenic factor implicated in wide range of fibrotic diseases. To investigate whether decorin, a natural antagonist for TGF-β1, protects against subarachnoid fibrosis and chronic hydrocephalus after SAH, two-hemorrhage-injection SAH model was conducted in 6-week-old rats. Recombinant human decorin(rhDecorin) (30ug/2ul) was administered before blood injection and on the 10th day after SAH. TGF-β1, p-Smad2/3, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), collagen I and pro-collagen I c-terminal propeptide were assessed via western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, radioimmunoassay and immunofluorescence. And neurobehavioral tests and Morris water maze were employed to evaluate long-term neurological functions after SAH. We found that SAH induced heightened activation of TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis, presenting as a two peak response of TGF-β1 in cerebrospinal fluid, elevation of TGF-β1, p-Smad2/3, CTGF, collagen I in brain parenchyma and pro-collagen I c-terminal propeptide in cerebrospinal fluid, and increased lateral ventricle index. rhDecorin treatment effectively inhibited up-regulation of TGF-β1, p-Smad2/3, CTGF, collagen I and pro-collagen I c-terminal propeptide after SAH. Moreover, rhDecorin treatment significantly reduced lateral ventricular index and incidence of chronic hydrocephalus after SAH. Importantly, rhDecorin improved neurocognitive deficits after SAH. In conclusion, rhDecorin suppresses extracellular matrix accumulation and following subarachnoid fibrosis via inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF pathway, preventing development of hydrocephalus and attenuating long-term neurocognitive defects after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle, CLEC4E) receptor is reported involved in neuroinflammation in cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury. This study was designed to investigate the role of Mincle and its downstream spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) signal pathway in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a rat model. METHODS Two hundred fifteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (280-320 g) were subjected to endovascular perforation model of SAH. SAH grade, neurological score, and brain water content were measured at 24 hours after SAH. Mincle/Syk, as well as CARD9 (a member of the caspase-associated recruitment domain [CARD], involved in innate immune response), interleukin-1β,and myeloperoxidase expressions were analyzed by Western blot at 24 hours after SAH. Specific cell types that expressed Mincle were detected with double immunofluorescence staining. Mincle small interfering RNA, recombinant SAP130, and a selective Syk phosphorylation inhibitor piceatannol were used for intervention. RESULTS Brain water content increased and neurological functions decreased in rats after SAH. The expression of SAP130, Mincle, Syk, and p-Syk increased at 12 hours and peaked at 24 hours after SAH. Mincle small interfering RNA reduced interleukin-1β and infiltration of myeloperoxidase positive cells, decreased brain water content, and improved neurological functions at 24 hours after SAH. Recombinant SAP130 upregulated the expression of p-Syk and CARD9 and increased the levels of interleukin-1β and myeloperoxidase, even though it did not increase brain water content nor it deteriorated neurological function at 24 hours after SAH. Syk inhibitor piceatannol reduced brain edema at 24 hours after SAH. CONCLUSION Mincle/Syk is involved in early brain injury after SAH, and they may serve as new targets for therapeutic intervention.

The evolving roles of pericyte in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain Res 2015; 1623:110-22. [PMID: 25982598 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2015.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2014] [Revised: 05/02/2015] [Accepted: 05/04/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Despite accumulated understanding on the mechanisms of early brain injury and improved management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), it is still one of the serious and refractory health problems around the world. Traditionally, pericyte, served as capillary contraction handler, is recently considered as the main participant of microcirculation regulation in SAH pathophysiology. However, accumulate evidences indicate that pericyte is much more than we already know. Therefore, we briefly review the characteristics, regulation pathways and functions of pericyte, aim to summarize the evolving new pathophysiological roles of pericyte that are implicated in early brain injury after SAH and to improve our understanding in order to explore potential novel therapeutic options for patients with SAH. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled SI: Cell Interactions In Stroke.

Exp Neurol 2015; 272:120-7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor 8(MFGE8)/Integrin β3 pathway was reported to be involved in reducing oxidative stress and early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, the potential effects of MFGE8 and its receptor Integrin β3 in the inhibition of apoptosis and neuroinflammation in early brain injury after SAH were investigated. METHODS Ninety-five (95) male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The SAH model was induced by endovascular perforation. Recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFGE8), MFGE8 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and Integrin β3 siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly. SAH grade, neurologic scores, Western blots and immunofluorescence were employed to study the mechanisms of MFGE8 and its receptor Integrin β3, as well as neurological outcome. RESULTS SAH induced significant neuronal apoptosis and inflammation and exhibited neurological dysfunction in rats. Knockdown endogenous MFGE8 with siRNA significantly increased the protein levels of cleaved caspase 3 and IL-1β, accompanied with more neurological deficits. rhMFGE8 significantly reduced neural cell death in cortex, decreased cleaved caspase 3 and IL-1β expressions, and improved neurological functions 24h after SAH. The anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation effects of rhMFGE8 were abolished by Integrin β3 siRNA. CONCLUSION MFGE8 could alleviate neurologic damage in early brain injury after SAH via anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis effects. MFGE8 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for future management of SAH patients.

Administration of a PTEN inhibitor BPV(pic) attenuates early brain injury via modulating AMPA receptor subunits after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Neurosci Lett 2015; 588:131-6. [PMID: 25575796 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2015.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2014] [Revised: 12/31/2014] [Accepted: 01/03/2015] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) inhibitor dipotassium bisperoxo(pyridine-2-carboxyl) oxovanadate (BPV(pic)) attenuates early brain injury by modulating α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxa-zolep-propionate (AMPA) receptor subunits after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A standard intravascular perforation model was used to produce the experimental SAH in Sprague-Dawley rats. BPV(pic) treatment (0.2mg/kg) was evaluated for effects on neurological score, brain water content, Evans blue extravasation, hippocampal neuronal death and AMPA receptor subunits alterations after SAH. We found that BPV(pic) is effective in attenuating BBB disruption, lowering edema, reducing hippocampal neural death and improving neurological outcomes. In addition, the AMPA receptor subunit GluR1 protein expression at cytomembrane was downregulated, whereas the expression of GluR2 and GluR3 was upregulated after BPV(pic) treatment. Our results suggest that PTEN inhibited by BPV(pic) plays a neuroprotective role in SAH pathophysiology, possibly by alterations in glutamate AMPA receptor subunits.
