Pramipexole improves depression-like behavior in diabetes mellitus with depression rats by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation and preventing impaired neuroplasticity. J Affect Disord 2024; 356:586-596. [PMID: 38657764 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.04.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequently associated with the occurrence and development of depression, and the co-occurrence of diabetes mellitus with depression (DD) may further reduce patients' quality of life. Recent research indicates that dopamine receptors (DRs) play a crucial role in immune and metabolic regulation. Pramipexole (PPX), a D2/3R agonist, has demonstrated promising neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of PPX on DM-induced depression are not clear at present. METHODS Depression, DM, and DD were induced in a rat model through a combination of a high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented with streptozotocin (STZ) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) combined with solitary cage rearing. The pathogenesis of DD and the neuroprotective effects of DRs agonists were investigated using behavioral assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Nissl staining, Western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). RESULTS DD rats exhibited more severe dopaminergic, neuroinflammatory, and neuroplastic impairments and more pronounced depressive behaviors than rats with depression alone or DM. Our findings suggest that DRs agonists have significant therapeutic effects on DD rats and that PPX improved neuroplasticity and decreased neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of DD rats while also promoting DG cell growth and differentiation, ultimately mitigating depression-like behaviors. LIMITATION Our study is based on a rat model. Further evidence is needed to determine whether the therapeutic effects of PPX apply to patients suffering from DD. CONCLUSIONS Neuroinflammation mediated by damage to the dopaminergic system is one of the key pathogenic mechanisms of DD. We provide evidence that PPX has a neuroprotective effect on the hippocampus in DD rats and the mechanism may involve the inhibition of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation by DRs to attenuate the neuroinflammatory response and neuroplasticity damage.

Abstract
The catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine is classically known for regulation of central nervous system (CNS) functions such as reward, movement, and cognition. Increasing evidence also indicates that dopamine regulates critical functions in peripheral organs and is an important immunoregulatory factor. We have previously shown that dopamine increases NF-κB activity, inflammasome activation, and the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β in human macrophages. As myeloid lineage cells are central to the initiation and resolution of acute inflammatory responses, dopamine-mediated dysregulation of these functions could both impair the innate immune response and exacerbate chronic inflammation. However, the exact pathways by which dopamine drives myeloid inflammation are not well defined, and studies in both rodent and human systems indicate that dopamine can impact the production of inflammatory mediators through both D1-like dopamine receptors (DRD1, DRD5) and D2-like dopamine receptors (DRD2, DRD3, and DRD4). Therefore, we hypothesized that dopamine-mediated production of IL-1β in myeloid cells is regulated by the ratio of different dopamine receptors that are activated. Our data in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDM) indicate that DRD1 expression is necessary for dopamine-mediated increases in IL-1β, and that changes in the expression of DRD2 and other dopamine receptors can alter the magnitude of the dopamine-mediated increase in IL-1β. Mature hMDM have a high D1-like to D2-like receptor ratio, which is different relative to monocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We further confirm in human microglia cell lines that a high ratio of D1-like to D2-like receptors promotes dopamine-induced increases in IL-1β gene and protein expression using pharmacological inhibition or overexpression of dopamine receptors. RNA-sequencing of dopamine-treated microglia shows that genes encoding functions in IL-1β signaling pathways, microglia activation, and neurotransmission increased with dopamine treatment. Finally, using HIV as an example of a chronic inflammatory disease that is substantively worsened by comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs) that impact dopaminergic signaling, we show increased effects of dopamine on inflammasome activation and IL-1β in the presence of HIV in both human macrophages and microglia. These data suggest that use of addictive substances and dopamine-modulating therapeutics could dysregulate the innate inflammatory response and exacerbate chronic neuroimmunological conditions like HIV. Thus, a detailed understanding of dopamine-mediated changes in inflammation, in particular pathways regulating IL-1β, will be critical to effectively tailor medication regimens.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease, which impairs patients' white matter even after timely clinical interventions. Indicated by studies in the past decade, ICH-induced white matter injury (WMI) is closely related to neurological deficits; however, its underlying mechanism and pertinent treatment are yet insufficient. We gathered two datasets (GSE24265 and GSE125512), and by taking an intersection among interesting genes identified by weighted gene co-expression networks analysis, we determined target genes after differentially expressing genes in two datasets. Additional single-cell RNA-seq analysis (GSE167593) helped locate the gene in cell types. Furthermore, we established ICH mice models induced by autologous blood or collagenase. Basic medical experiments and diffusion tensor imaging were applied to verify the function of target genes in WMI after ICH. Through intersection and enrichment analysis, gene SLC45A3 was identified as the target one, which plays a key role in the regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation involving in fatty acid metabolic process, etc. after ICH, and single-cell RNA-seq analysis also shows that it mainly locates in oligodendrocytes. Further experiments verified overexpression of SLC45A3 ameliorated brain injury after ICH. Therefore, SLC45A3 might serve as a candidate therapeutic biomarker for ICH-induced WMI, and overexpression of it may be a potential approach for injury attenuation.

Long-Term Impact of Diffuse Traumatic Brain Injury on Neuroinflammation and Catecholaminergic Signaling: Potential Relevance for Parkinson's Disease Risk. Molecules 2024; 29:1470.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), though the exact mechanisms remain unclear. TBI triggers acute neuroinflammation and catecholamine dysfunction post-injury, both implicated in PD pathophysiology. The long-term impact on these pathways following TBI, however, remains uncertain. In this study, male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sham surgery or Marmarou's impact acceleration model to induce varying TBI severities: single mild TBI (mTBI), repetitive mild TBI (rmTBI), or moderate-severe TBI (msTBI). At 12 months post-injury, astrocyte reactivity (GFAP) and microglial levels (IBA1) were assessed in the striatum (STR), substantia nigra (SN), and prefrontal cortex (PFC) using immunohistochemistry. Key enzymes and receptors involved in catecholaminergic transmission were measured via Western blot within the same regions. Minimal changes in these markers were observed, regardless of initial injury severity. Following mTBI, elevated protein levels of dopamine D1 receptors (DRD1) were noted in the PFC, while msTBI resulted in increased alpha-2A adrenoceptors (ADRA2A) in the STR and decreased dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DβH) in the SN. Neuroinflammatory changes were subtle, with a reduced number of GFAP+ cells in the SN following msTBI. However, considering the potential for neurodegenerative outcomes to manifest decades after injury, longer post-injury intervals may be necessary to observe PD-relevant alterations within these systems.

Abstract
Purpose To elucidate the influence of dopamine receptor 1 (DRD1) on the proliferation of mouse corneal epithelial cells (MCECs) under inflammatory conditions. Methods In vitro, immortalized MCECs (iMCECs) were treated with IL-1β, with and without pcDNA3.1_DRD1. Primary MCECs (pMCECs) were exposed to IL-1β, with and without DRD1 agonist (A68930). Cell proliferation was quantified using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and immunofluorescence staining for Ki-67 and p63. Expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), IL-1β, and IL-6 were assessed. To establish a corneal injury model in mice, a 2-mm superficial keratectomy was performed. Either 0.1% A68930 or PBS was topically administered three times daily to the injured eyes for up to 5 days post-injury. Immunofluorescence analysis was employed to evaluate the expression of Ki-67, p63, and CD45 in mouse corneas. Western blotting and real-time quantitative PCR were utilized for quantitative analysis of DRD1, NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-6 in mouse corneas. Corneal epithelial regeneration was monitored through fluorescein sodium staining for a duration of up to 5 days following the injury. Results Overexpression of DRD1 and A68930 promoted MCEC proliferation and suppressed the expression of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-6 in vitro. Topical application of the 0.1% A68930 following mechanical corneal injury in mice led to increased Ki-67 and p63 expression compared to PBS treatment. Furthermore, topical administration of the 0.1% A68930 reduced the expression of CD45, NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-6. Analysis with fluorescein sodium indicated accelerated corneal epithelial regeneration in the 0.1% A68930 treatment group. Conclusions DRD1 treatment counteracts NLRP3-associated inflammation and facilitates epithelial repair of corneal injury.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a lethal stroke with high mortality or disability. However, effective therapy for ICH damage is generally lacking. Previous investigations have suggested that lysosomal protein transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5) is involved in various pathological processes, including autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. In this study, we aimed to identify the expression and functions of LAPTM5 in collagenase-induced ICH mouse models and hemoglobin-induced cell models. We found that LAPTM5 was highly expressed in brain tissues around the hematoma, and double immunostaining studies showed that LAPTM5 was co-expressed with microglia cells, neurons, and astrocytes. Following ICH, the mice presented increased brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, and neurological deficits, while pathological symptoms were alleviated after the LAPTM5 knockdown. Adeno-associated virus 9-mediated downregulation of LAPTM5 also improves ICH-induced secondary cerebral damage, including neuronal degeneration, the polarization of M1-like microglia, and inflammatory cascades. Furthermore, LAPTM5 promoted activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway in response to neuroinflammation. Further investigations indicated that brain injury improved by LAPTM5 knockdown was further exacerbated after the overexpression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1), which is revealed to trigger the NF-κB pathway. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LAPTM5 silencing inhibited hemoglobin-induced cell function and confirmed regulation between RIP1 and LAPTM5. In conclusion, the present study indicates that LAPTM5 may act as a positive regulator in the context of ICH by modulating the RIP1/NF-κB pathway. Thus, it may be a candidate gene for further study of molecular or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to combine transcriptomic and network pharmacology to explore the crucial mRNAs and specific regulatory molecules of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treatment. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: sham, ICH, and BYHWD. BYHWD (43.29 g/kg) was administered once a day for 7 days. An equal volume of double-distilled water was used as a control. Behavioural and histopathological experiments were conducted to confirm the neuroprotective effects of BYHWD. Brain tissues were collected for transcriptomic detection. Bioinformatics analysis were performed to illustrate the target gene functions. Network pharmacology was used to predict potential targets for BYHWD. Next, transcriptomic assays were combined with network pharmacology to identify the potential differentially expressed mRNAs. Immunofluorescence staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and transmission electron microscopy were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS BYHWD intervention in ICH reduced neurological deficits. Network pharmacology analysis identified 203 potential therapeutic targets for ICH, whereas transcriptomic assay revealed 109 differentially expressed mRNAs post-ICH. Among these, cathepsin B, ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1, toll-like receptor 4, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 12, and baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 were identified as potential target mRNAs through the integration of transcriptomics and network pharmacology approaches. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that the beneficial effects of BYHWD in ICH may be associated with apoptosis, animal autophagy signal pathways, and PI3K-Akt and mTOR biological processes. Furthermore, BYHWD intervention decreased Ctsb expression levels and increased autophagy levels in ICH. CONCLUSIONS Animal experiments in combination with bioinformatics analysis confirmed that BYHWD plays a neuroprotective role in ICH by regulating Ctsb to enhance autophagy.

Abstract
Activation and polarization of microglia play decisive roles in the progression of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), and lactate exposure correlates with microglia polarization. This study explores molecules influencing lactate production and microglia phenotype alteration following ICH. A murine model of ICH was induced by intracerebral injection of collagenase. The mice experienced autonomous neurological function recovery, haematoma resolution and rapid lactate production, along with a gradual increase in angiogenesis activity, neuronal recovery and an M1-to-M2 phenotype change of microglia. Galloflavin, a lactate dehydrogenase antagonist, suppressed this phenotype change and the functional recovery in mice. FOS like 2 (FOSL2) was significantly upregulated in the brain tissues from day 7 post-ICH. Overexpression of FOSL2 induced an M1-to-M2 phenotype shift in microglia and accelerated lactate production in vivo and in haemoglobin-treated microglia in vitro. Long non-coding RNA MIR17HG impeded FOSL2-mediated transcription activation of hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1). MIR17HG overexpression induced pro-inflammatory activation of microglia in mice, which was blocked by further HIC1 overexpression. Overall, this study demonstrates that MIR17HG maintains a pro-inflammatory phenotype of microglia during ICH progression by negating FOSL2-mediated transcription activation of HIC1. Specific inhibition of MIR17HG or upregulation of FOSL2 or HIC1 may favour inflammation inhibition and haematoma resolution in ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype characterized by non-traumatic rupture of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in blood pooling in the brain parenchyma. Despite its lower incidence than ischemic stroke, ICH remains a significant contributor to stroke-related mortality, and most survivors experience poor outcomes that significantly impact their quality of life. ICH has been accompanied by various complex pathological damage, including mechanical damage of brain tissue, hematoma mass effect, and then leads to inflammatory response, thrombin activation, erythrocyte lysis, excitatory amino acid toxicity, complement activation, and other pathological changes. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that activation of complement cascade occurs in the early stage of brain injury, and the excessive complement activation after ICH will affect the occurrence of secondary brain injury (SBI) through multiple complex pathological processes, aggravating brain edema, and pathological brain injury. Therefore, the review summarized the pathological mechanisms of brain injury after ICH, specifically the complement role in ICH, and its related pathological mechanisms, to comprehensively understand the specific mechanism of different complements at different stages after ICH. Furthermore, we systematically reviewed the current state of complement-targeted therapies for ICH, providing a reference and basis for future clinical transformation of complement-targeted therapy for ICH.

Abstract
Studies have shown that neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and PD are related to neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation is a common inflammatory condition that can lead to a variety of dysfunction in the body. At present, it is no medications specifically approved to prevent or cure neuroinflammation, so even though many drugs can temporarily control the neurological symptoms of neuroinflammation, but no one can reverse the progress of neuroinflammation, let al.one completely cure neuroinflammation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new drug development for neuroinflammation treatment. In this review, we highlight the therapeutic advancement in the field of neurodegenerative disorders, by focusing on the impact of neuroinflammation treatment has on these conditions, and the effective drugs for the treatment of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases and their latest research progress are reviewed according to the related signaling pathway, as well as the prospect of their clinical application is also discussed. The purpose of this review is to enable specialists to better understand the mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation and anti-inflammatory drugs, promote the development of therapeutic drugs for neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases, and further provide therapeutic references for clinical neurologists.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic incapacitating condition with recurrent experience of trauma-related memories, negative mood, altered cognition, and hypervigilance. Agglomeration of preclinical and clinical evidence in recent years specified that alterations in neural networks favor certain characteristics of PTSD. Besides the disruption of hypothalamus-pituitary-axis (HPA) axis, intensified immune status with elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines and arachidonic metabolites of COX-2 such as PGE2 creates a putative scenario in worsening the neurobehavioral facet of PTSD. This review aims to link the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM-V) symptomology to major neural mechanisms that are supposed to underpin the transition from acute stress reactions to the development of PTSD. Also, to demonstrate how these intertwined processes can be applied to probable early intervention strategies followed by a description of the evidence supporting the proposed mechanisms. Hence in this review, several neural network mechanisms were postulated concerning the HPA axis, COX-2, PGE2, NLRP3, and sirtuins to unravel possible complex neuroinflammatory mechanisms that are obscured in PTSD condition.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a membrane receptor on myeloid cells and plays an important role in the body's immune defense. Recently, TREM2 has received extensive attention from researchers, and its activity has been found in Alzheimer's disease, neuroinflammation, and traumatic brain injury. The appearance of TREM2 is usually accompanied by changes in apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and there has been a lot of research into their structure, as well as the interaction mode and signal pathways involved in them. As two molecules with broad and important roles in the human body, understanding their correlation may provide therapeutic targets for certain diseases. In this article, we reviewed several diseases in which TREM2 and ApoE are synergistically involved in the development. We further discussed the positive or negative effects of the TREM2-ApoE pathway on nervous system immunity and inflammation.

Abstract
Major neurocognitive disorder (NCD) affects over 55 million people worldwide and is characterized by cognitive impairment (CI). This study aimed to develop a non-invasive diagnostic test for CI based upon retinal thickness measurements explored in a mouse model. Discrimination indices and retinal layer thickness of healthy C57BL/6J mice were quantified through a novel object recognition test (NORT) and ocular coherence tomography (OCT), respectively. Based on criteria from the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 5th ed. (DSM-V), a diagnostic test was generated by transforming data into rolling monthly averages and categorizing mice into those with and without CI and those with a high or low decline in retinal layer thickness. Only inner nuclear layer thickness had a statistically significant relationship with discrimination indices. Furthermore, our diagnostic test was 85.71% sensitive and 100% specific for diagnosing CI, with a positive predictive value of 100%. These findings have potential clinical implications for the early diagnosis of CI in NCD. However, further investigation in comorbid mice and humans is warranted.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy bodies, which are mainly composed of alpha-synuclein fibrils. Alpha-synuclein plays a vital role in the neuroinflammation mediated by the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in PD. A better understanding of the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation and the related mitochondrial impairment during PD progression may facilitate the development of promising therapies for PD. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying NLRP3 inflammasome activation, comprising priming and protein complex assembly, as well as the role of mitochondrial impairment and its subsequent inflammatory effects on the progression of neurodegeneration in PD. In addition, the therapeutic strategies targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome for PD treatment are discussed, including the inhibitors of NLRP3 inflammatory pathways, mitochondria-focused treatments, microRNAs, and other therapeutic compounds.

Asiatic acid and andrographolide reduce hippocampal injury through suppressing neuroinflammation caused by Salmonella typhimurium infection. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 172:113584.

Abstract
Damage caused by Salmonella is not only limited to the gastrointestinal tract, but also occurs in the central nervous system (CNS). The aim of this study was to explore the protective effects of asiatic acid (AA) and andrographolide (AD) on the CNS through simulating common infection in mice by oral administration of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). The results showed that the neurons in the hippocampus of mice were damaged after S. typhimurium invaded CNS in mice, and the inflammation was increased, which was manifested by the increased expression of inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-6, interferon (IFN)-γ and IL-12b and the activation of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes. The damage and inflammatory response of mouse hippocampal neurons were effectively reduced by AA or AD pretreatment. Furthermore, we observed the significant activation of microglia after S. typhimurium infection. AA and AD attenuated S. typhimurium -induced hippocampal injury by reducing the inflammatory response on microglia. The findings suggest that the AA and AD protect CNS from injury caused by S. typhimurium infection through inhibiting over expression of multiple neuroinflammatory mediators and NLRP3 inflammasome in mice.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter dopamine is a key factor in central nervous system (CNS) function, regulating many processes including reward, movement, and cognition. Dopamine also regulates critical functions in peripheral organs, such as blood pressure, renal activity, and intestinal motility. Beyond these functions, a growing body of evidence indicates that dopamine is an important immunoregulatory factor. Most types of immune cells express dopamine receptors and other dopaminergic proteins, and many immune cells take up, produce, store, and/or release dopamine, suggesting that dopaminergic immunomodulation is important for immune function. Targeting these pathways could be a promising avenue for the treatment of inflammation and disease, but despite increasing research in this area, data on the specific effects of dopamine on many immune cells and disease processes remain inconsistent and poorly understood. Therefore, this review integrates the current knowledge of the role of dopamine in immune cell function and inflammatory signaling across systems. We also discuss the current understanding of dopaminergic regulation of immune signaling in the CNS and peripheral tissues, highlighting the role of dopaminergic immunomodulation in diseases such as Parkinson's disease, several neuropsychiatric conditions, neurologic human immunodeficiency virus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and others. Careful consideration is given to the influence of experimental design on results, and we note a number of areas in need of further research. Overall, this review integrates our knowledge of dopaminergic immunology at the cellular, tissue, and disease level and prompts the development of therapeutics and strategies targeted toward ameliorating disease through dopaminergic regulation of immunity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Canonically, dopamine is recognized as a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of movement, cognition, and reward. However, dopamine also acts as an immune modulator in the central nervous system and periphery. This review comprehensively assesses the current knowledge of dopaminergic immunomodulation and the role of dopamine in disease pathogenesis at the cellular and tissue level. This will provide broad access to this information across fields, identify areas in need of further investigation, and drive the development of dopaminergic therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is the main pathological mechanism of cognitive dysfunction caused by neurodegenerative diseases, and effective preventive and therapeutic measures are not available. We predicted the key targets of gastrodin's effects upon neuroinflammation through Network Pharmacology and molecular docking. Then the predicted targets were used to study how gastrodin affected cognitive dysfunction triggered by lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation in rats and its mechanisms. Three-month-old male rats were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide for 3 days (d), 7 d and 14 d respectively. Gastrodin improved learning and memory ability of rats with neuroinflammation. Lipopolysaccharide enhanced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, in rat hippocampus, which could be reversed by gastrodin. Gastrodin also inhibited the activation of microglia. Our findings suggested that gastrodin exerted neuroprotective effects in rats with neuroinflammation by impacting the TLR4-NF-kB-NLRP3 pathway. Therefore, gastrodin may be a potential therapeutic agent for neuroinflammation-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Dopamine has emerged as an important regulator of immunity. Recent evidence has shown that signalling through low-affinity dopamine receptors exerts anti-inflammatory effects, whilst stimulation of high-affinity dopamine receptors potentiates immunity in different models. However, the dopaminergic regulation of CD8+ T-cells in anti-tumour immunity remains poorly explored. Here, we studied the role of dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3), which displays the highest affinity for dopamine, in the function of CD8+ T-cells and its consequences in the anti-tumour immune response. We observed that the deficiency of Drd3 (the gene encoding DRD3) in CD8+ T-cells limits their in vivo expansion, leading to an impaired anti-tumour response in a mouse melanoma model. Mechanistic analyses suggest that DRD3 stimulation favours the production of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and the surface expression of CD25, the α-chain IL-2 receptor, which are required for expansion and effector differentiation of CD8+ T-cells. Thus, our results provide genetic and pharmacologic evidence indicating that DRD3 favours the production of IL-2 by CD8+ T-cells, which is associated with higher expansion and acquisition of effector function of these cells, promoting a more potent anti-tumour response in a melanoma mouse model. These findings contribute to understanding how dopaminergic signalling affects the cellular immune response and represent an opportunity to improve melanoma therapy.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation contributes to secondary brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) confers strong neuroprotective effect by suppressing neuroinflammatory response in experimental ischemic stroke. This study aimed to clarify the neuroprotective role of TREM2 and potential underlying mechanism in a mouse model of ICH and in vitro. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) and green fluorescent protein-lentivirus (GFP-LV) strategies were employed to enhance TREM2 expression in the C57/BL6 mice and BV2 cells, respectively. The adult male C57/BL6 mice were subjected to ICH by administration of collagenase-IV in 1 month after the AAV particles injection. An in vitro ICH model was performed with oxygen hemoglobin in BV2 cells. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist TAK242 was applied at 6 h following ICH. Neurological function, TREM2, pro-inflammatory cytokines, brain water content and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining were evaluated at 24 h following ICH. TLR4, NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways were also determined by Western blot analysis at the same time point. The levels of TREM2 were increased at 12 h, peaked at 24 h and recovered on 7d following ICH. TREM2 overexpression ameliorated ICH induced neurological dysfunction, inhibited neuroinflammation, and attenuated apoptosis and brain edema. Further mechanistic study revealed that TREM2 overexpression inhibited TLR4 activation and NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. ICH increased the percentage of TUNEL-positive cells, which was markedly decreased by TREM2 overexpression. A similar improvement was also observed by the administration of TAK242 following ICH. TREM2 improves neurological dysfunction and attenuates neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in the acute phase of ICH, which is, at least in part, mediated by negatively regulating TLR4 signaling pathway. These findings highlight TREM2 as a potential target for early brain injury following ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly harmful neurological disorder with high rates of mortality, disability, and recurrence. However, effective therapies are not currently available. Secondary immune injury and cell death are the leading causes of brain injury and a poor prognosis. Pyroptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death that differs from apoptosis and necrosis and is mediated by gasdermin proteins. Pyroptosis is caused by multiple pathways that eventually form pores in the cell membrane, facilitating the release of inflammatory substances and causing the cell to rupture and die. Pyroptosis occurs in neurons, glial cells, and endothelial cells after ICH. Furthermore, pyroptosis causes cell death and releases inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, leading to a secondary immune-inflammatory response and further brain damage. The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pathway plays the most critical role in pyroptosis after ICH. Pyroptosis can be inhibited by directly targeting NLRP3 or its upstream molecules, or directly interfering with caspase-1 expression and GSDMD formation, thus significantly improving the prognosis of ICH. The present review discusses key pathological pathways and regulatory mechanisms of pyroptosis after ICH and suggests possible intervention strategies to mitigate pyroptosis and brain dysfunction after ICH.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Protects Against Brain Injury After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Involvement of Anti-Inflammatory Processes and Hematoma Clearance via CD36. J Mol Neurosci 2022; 72:2150-2161.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage causes high mortality and morbidity, but its therapy methods are limited. In the present study, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) was demonstrated to have beneficial effects on an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model. This study explored the effects and underlying mechanisms of PEMF in a mouse model of ICH and cultured BV2 cells. PEMF was applied 4 hours after collagenase-induced ICH at day 0 and 4 hours per day for seven consecutive days. The expression levels of proinflammatory factors were assessed by ELISA kits and western blotting. Hematoma volume was measured by histological analysis. The effects of PEMF on phagocytosis of the erythrocytes were observed in cultured BV2 cells and ICH mouse models. Seven days after ICH, the hematoma volume was significantly reduced in PEMF-treated animals compared to nontreated mice. We found that PEMF decreased the hematoma volume and the expression levels of proinflammatory factors after ICH. Moreover, PEMF enhanced the erythrophagocytosis of microglia via CD36. Furthermore, we found that downregulation CD36 with Genistein blocked the effects of PEMF-induced hematoma clearance and anti-inflammations effects. Thus, the PEMF-mediated promotion of neurological functions may at least partly involve anti-inflammatory processes and hematoma clearance. These results suggest that PEMF treatment promoted the hematoma clearance and alleviated the inflammation after ICH.

Abstract
Given the neuroprotective effects of trans-resveratrol (RV), this study aimed to investigate the involvement of the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) in RV-mediated neuroprotection in a rat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model induced by intrastriatal injection of collagenase. Rats were divided into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) sham-operated, (3) ICH pretreated with vehicle, (4) ICH pretreated with RV, and (5) ICH pretreated with RV and the A1R antagonist DPCPX. At 48 hours after ICH, the rats were subjected to neurological testing. Brain tissues were assessed for neuronal density and morphological features using routine and immunohistochemical staining. Expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), caspase-3, and RIPK3 proteins was examined using ELISA. A1R, MAPK P38, Hsp90, TrkB, and BDNF genes were examined using RT-qPCR. RV protected against neurological deficits and neuronal depletion, restored the expression of TNF-α, CASP3, RIPK3, A1R, and Hsp90, and increased BDNF/TrkB. DPCPX abolished the effects of RV on neurological outcomes, neuronal density, CASP3, RIPK3, A1R, Hsp90, and BDNF. These data indicate that the neuroprotection by RV involves A1R and inhibits CASP3-dependent apoptosis and RIPK3-dependent necroptosis in the perihematoma region; this is likely to be mediated by crosstalk between A1R and the BDNF/TrkB pathway.

Inhibiting Microglia-Derived NLRP3 Alleviates Subependymal Edema and Cognitive Dysfunction in Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus after Intracerebral Hemorrhage via AMPK/Beclin-1 Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4177317.

Abstract
For posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) patients, whether occur subependymal edema indicates poor outcomes, partially manifested as cognitive impairment. In the brain, NLRP3 inflammasome mainly derived from microglia/macrophages is involved in proinflammatory and neurodeficits after hemorrhage, and autophagy is vital for neuronal homeostasis and functions. Accumulating evidence suggest that NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy played an essential role after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to dissect the mechanisms underlying subependymal edema formation and cognitive dysfunction. Here, based on the hydrocephalus secondary to ICH break into ventricular (ICH-IVH) in rats, this study investigated whether microglia/macrophage-derived NLRP3 induced subependymal edema formation and neuron apoptosis in subventricular zones (SVZ). In the acute phase of ICH-IVH, both the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome of microglia/macrophages and the autophagy of neurons were upregulated. The activated NLRP3 in microglia/macrophages promoted the release of IL-1beta to extracellular, which contributed to excessive autophagy, leading to neurons apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro through the AMPK/Beclin-1 pathway combined with transcriptomics. Administration of MCC950 (NLRP3 inflammasome specific inhibitor) after ICH-IVH significantly reduced edema formation and improved cognitive dysfunction. Thus, inhibiting NLRP3 activation in SVZ may be a promising therapeutic strategy for PHH patients that warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Microglia are the earliest activated and the longest lasting immune cells after stroke, and they participate in almost all the pathological reactions after stroke. However, their regulatory mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) is a cell surface receptor that is mainly expressed in microglia of the central nervous system. The receptor plays an important role in regulating microglia energy metabolism and phenotypic transformation. At present, TREM2 has been developed as a potential target for AD, coronary atherosclerosis and other diseases. However, TREM2 does not provide a systematic summary of the functional transformation and intrinsic molecular mechanisms of microglia after stroke. In this paper, we have summarized the functional changes of TREM2 in microglia after stroke in recent years, and found that TREM2 has important effects on energy metabolism, phagocytosis and anti-inflammatory function of microglia after stroke, suggesting that TREM2 is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke and results in neurological deficits in patients without any effective treatments. Artemisinin (ART), a well-known antimalarial Chinese medicine, exerts multiple essential roles in the central and peripheral nervous system due to its antioxidative and anti-inflammation properties. Neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM, L1) is considered to be implicated in neural development, functional maintenance, and neuroprotection during disease. However, whether these two essential molecules are neuroprotective in ICH remains unclear. METHODS Therefore, the present study investigated the influence of ART on the recovery of neurological deficits in a mouse model of ICH induced by collagenase and the underlying mechanism. RESULTS It was revealed that ART is capable of upregulating L1 expression to alleviate brain edema, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit inflammation to alleviate ICH-induced brain injury to improve the neurological outcome in mice suffering from ICH. CONCLUSION These results may lay the foundation for ART to be a novel candidate treatment for ICH.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) signaling via G protein‐coupled receptors is a multifunctional neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine–immune modulator. The DA nigrostriatal pathway, which controls the motor coordination, progressively degenerates in Parkinson's disease (PD), a most common neurodegenerative disorder (ND) characterized by a selective, age‐dependent loss of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) neurons, where DA itself is a primary source of oxidative stress and mitochondrial impairment, intersecting astrocyte and microglial inflammatory networks. Importantly, glia acts as a preferential neuroendocrine–immune DA target, in turn, counter‐modulating inflammatory processes. With a major focus on DA intersection within the astrocyte–microglial inflammatory network in PD vulnerability, we herein first summarize the characteristics of DA signaling systems, the propensity of DA neurons to oxidative stress, and glial inflammatory triggers dictating the vulnerability to PD. Reciprocally, DA modulation of astrocytes and microglial reactivity, coupled to the synergic impact of gene–environment interactions, then constitute a further level of control regulating midbrain DA neuron (mDAn) survival/death. Not surprisingly, within this circuitry, DA converges to modulate nuclear factor erythroid 2‐like 2 (Nrf2), the master regulator of cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation, and Wingless (Wnt)/β‐catenin signaling, a key pathway for mDAn neurogenesis, neuroprotection, and immunomodulation, adding to the already complex “signaling puzzle,” a novel actor in mDAn–glial regulatory machinery. Here, we propose an autoregulatory feedback system allowing DA to act as an endogenous Nrf2/Wnt innate modulator and trace the importance of DA receptor agonists applied to the clinic as immune modifiers.

Abstract
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) plays an important role in the progression of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). An increasing number of studies have reported that a high NLR is correlated with poor clinical outcomes among patients with ICH. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of NLR in the setting of ICH. We performed a comprehensive search of electronic literature databases to identify all relevant studies evaluating the prognostic role of NLR in patients with ICH. Two researchers independently screened the studies and extracted relevant data. We extracted, pooled, and weighted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) values using a generic inverse-variance method, and then evaluated the heterogeneity among studies using Q test and I2 statistic. Finally, we selected a total of 26 studies including 7,317 patients for the current study. Overall, our results indicated that a high NLR was significantly associated with a poor outcome (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.19–1.46; P < 0.00001), mortality (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01–1.09; P = 0.02), and neurological deterioration (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.08–2.52; P = 0.02). We did not observe a significant association between NLR and hematoma expansion (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.99–1.08; P = 0.09). Our study indicated that a high NLR is significantly associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with ICH. As NLR is a simple and easily available biomarker, future studies should focus on exploring its application in the prognostic evaluation of patients with ICH.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is a crucial neurotransmitter that plays an important role in maintaining physiological function in human body. In the past, most studies focused on the relationship between the dopaminergic system and neurological-related diseases. However, it has been found recently that DA is an immunomodulatory mediator and many immune cells express dopamine receptors (DRs). Some immune cells can synthesize and secrete DA and then participate in regulating immune function. DRs agonists or antagonists can improve the dysfunction of immune system through classical G protein signaling pathways or other non-receptor-dependent pathways. This article will discuss the relationship between the dopaminergic system and the immune system. It will also review the use of DRs agonists or antagonists to treat chronic and acute inflammatory diseases and corresponding immunomodulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a leading cause of death. The causes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain damage are thought to include lysis of red blood cells, hemin release and iron overload. These mechanisms, however, have not proven very amenable to therapeutic intervention, and so other mechanistic targets are being sought. Here we report that accumulation of endogenously formed zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) also critically contributes to ICH-induced brain damage. ICH caused a significant accumulation of ZnPP in brain tissue surrounding hematoma, as evidenced by fluorescence microscopy of ZnPP, and further confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy and supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry. ZnPP formation was dependent upon both ICH-induced hypoxia and an increase in free zinc accumulation. Notably, inhibiting ferrochelatase, which catalyzes insertion of zinc into protoporphyrin, greatly decreased ICH-induced endogenous ZnPP generation. Moreover, a significant decrease in brain damage was observed upon ferrochelatase inhibition, suggesting that endogenous ZnPP contributes to the damage in ICH. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of ICH-induced brain damage through ferrochelatase-mediated formation of ZnPP in ICH tissue. Since ferrochelatase can be readily inhibited by small molecules, such as protein kinase inhibitors, this may provide a promising new and druggable target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
Alterations in the cortical dopamine system and microglial activation have been implicated in the pathophysiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), one of neurodevelopmental disorders that can be conventionally treated with a dopamine enhancer (methylphenidate) albeit unsatisfactorily. Here, we investigated the contributions of the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) and activated microglia and their interactions to the clinical severities in ADHD individuals using positron emission tomography (PET). Twenty-four psychotropic-naïve ADHD individuals and 24 age- and sex-matched typically developing (TD) subjects underwent PET measurements with [11C]SCH23390 for the D1R and [11C](R)PK11195 for activated microglia as well as assessments of clinical symptoms and cognitive functions. The ADHD individuals showed decreased D1R in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and increased activated microglia in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) compared with the TD subjects. The decreased D1R in the ACC was associated with severe hyperactivity in the participants with ADHD. Microglial activation in the DLPFC were associated with deficits in processing speed and attentional ability, and that in the OFC was correlated with lower processing speed in the ADHD individuals. Furthermore, positive correlations between the D1R and activated microglia in both the DLPFC and the OFC were found to be significantly specific to the ADHD group and not to the TD group. The current findings suggest that microglial activation and the D1R reduction as well as their aberrant interactions underpin the neurophysiological mechanism of ADHD and indicate these biomolecular changes as a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity due to the lack of effective therapies. The alpha‑amino‑3‑hydroxy‑5‑methyl‑4‑isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist perampanel has been reported to alleviate early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury by reducing reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis. Necroptosis is a caspase‑independent programmed cell death mechanism that serves a vital role in neuronal cell death following ICH. However, the precise role of necroptosis in perampanel‑mediated neuroprotection following ICH has not been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects and potential molecular mechanisms of perampanel in ICH‑induced early brain injury by regulating neural necroptosis in C57BL/6 mice and in a hemin‑induced neuron damage cell culture model. Mortality, neurological score, brain water content, and neuronal death were evaluated. The results demonstrated that perampanel treatment increased the survival rate and neurological score, and increased neuron survival. In addition, perampanel treatment downregulated the protein expression levels of receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase (RIP) 1, RIP3, and mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase, and of the cytokines IL‑1β, IL‑6, TNF‑α, and NF‑κB. These results indicated that perampanel‑mediated inhibition of necroptosis and neuroinflammation ameliorated neuronal death in vitro and in vivo following ICH. The neuroprotective capacity of perampanel was partly dependent on the PTEN pathway. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that perampanel improved neurological outcomes in mice and reduced neuronal death by protecting against neural necroptosis and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
The incidence of maternal hemorrhagic stroke is elevated in women with preeclampsia during pregnancy. Panax ginseng is a traditional medicinal herb with numerous applications, and ginsenosides are the key bioactive compounds in Panax ginseng. This study aims to evaluate the effects of ginsenoside Rg2 on pregnancy outcomes and brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in a rat model of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia was induced in rats by N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. Then, an ICH model was prepared by intrastriatal injection of bacterial collagenase. Ginsenoside Rg2 markedly elevated the survival ratio of fetuses. The placental and body weights were increased in the ginsenoside Rg2 group. Compared with the preeclampsia group, the Garcia test score of ginsenoside Rg2-treated rats was significantly increased. Ginsenoside Rg2 treatment ameliorated the ICH-induced augmentation of Evans blue extravasation, inhibited the ICH-induced elevation of brain water content, and reduced the interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in the hemorrhagic hemisphere after ICH in preeclampsia model rats. Furthermore, ginsenoside Rg2 treatment not only inhibited augmentation of TLR-4, MyD88, p-IκBα, and p-NF-κB expression but also abated the reduction of occludin and claudin-5 expression in the hemorrhagic hemisphere. The findings indicated that ginsenoside Rg2 improved pregnancy outcomes in a rat model of preeclampsia without decreasing the blood pressure and urine protein level. The findings also demonstrated that ginsenoside Rg2 ameliorated ICH-induced neurological disorder and blood-brain barrier dysfunction in an animal model of preeclampsia by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases are pathological conditions involving impaired blood flow in the brain, primarily including ischaemic stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, and subarachnoid haemorrhage. The nucleotide-binding and oligomerisation (NOD) domain-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain (PYD)-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a protein complex and a vital component of the immune system. Emerging evidence has indicated that the NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in cerebrovascular diseases. The function of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases remains an interesting field of research. In this review, we first summarised the pathological mechanism of cerebrovascular diseases and the pathological mechanism of the NLRP3 inflammasome in aggravating atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular diseases. Second, we outlined signalling pathways through which the NLRP3 inflammasome participates in aggravating or mitigating cerebrovascular diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), ROS/thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and purinergic receptor-7 (P2X7R) signalling pathways can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome; activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome can aggravate cerebrovascular diseases by mediating apoptosis and pyroptosis. Autophagy/mitochondrial autophagy, nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), interferon (IFN)-β, sirtuin (SIRT), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) reportedly alleviate cerebrovascular diseases by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Finally, we explored specific inhibitors of the NLRP3 inflammasome based on the two-step activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which can be developed as new drugs to treat cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic drug; however, its serious cardiotoxic side effects in inflammatory responses limit its use in clinical applications. Dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1), a G protein-coupled receptor, is crucial for the development and function of the nervous system; additionally, it also play a role in immune regulation. However, the specific role of DRD1 in DOX-induced cardiac inflammation has not yet been clarified. Here, we discovered that DRD1 expression was induced by DOX treatment in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. DRD1 activation by A-68930, a DRD1-specific agonist, decreased DOX-induced nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) expression, caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β maturation in H9C2 cells. Expression of the cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatants was also inhibited by A-68930 treatment. DRD1 knockdown, using siRNA, abolished the effects of A-68930 on the DOX-induced NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, we found that DRD1 signaling downregulated the NLRP3 inflammasome in H9C2 cells through cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Moreover, application of A-68930 to activate DRD1 reduced cardiac injury and fibrosis in a DOX-treated mouse model by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome in the heart. These findings indicate that DRD1 signaling may protect against DOX-induced cardiac injury by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Necroptosis-induced neuronal damage after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been documented recently. Previous studies have reported that RIP3 and its complex are recognized as central mediators of necroptosis. In this study, the role of RIP3 in the activation of CaMKII and AIF was investigated. METHODS We induced ICH in C57BL/6 mice by injecting collagenase IV into the basal ganglia. ICH mice were pretreated with the mPTP inhibitor CsA and the CAMKII inhibitor Kn-93, RIP3 siRNA or RIP3 rAAV. Brain edema and neurobehavior were evaluated. The expression of RIP3, p-MLKL, AIF, and CaMKII proteins was evaluated by western blotting, immunofluorescence (IF) and immunoprecipitation (IP). RESULTS Significant increases in RIP3, p-MLKL, CaMKII and AIF expression were observed in ICH mice, and RIP3-AIF colocalized in the nucleus. Overexpression of RIP3 by rAAV upregulated AIF expression in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, while CaMKII expression was increased in the cytoplasm. The interaction of RIP3-AIF and RIP3-CaMKII was detected after ICH injury. These complexes were inhibited by CsA with Kn-93 or RIP3 siRNA pretreatment, which reduced brain edema and neurological deficits. CONCLUSIONS Our findings revealed that ICH induced necroptotic neuronal death through the RIP3-CaMKII complex and the RIP3-AIF signaling pathway. Moreover, blockade of mPTP opening could suppress the pathogenesis of necroptosis.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke characterized by high mortality and disability rates. To date, the exact etiology of ICH-induced brain injury is still unclear. Moreover, there is no effective treatment to delay or prevent disease progression currently. Increasing evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a dominant role in the pathogenesis of ICH injury. Baicalin is a main active ingredient of Chinese herbal medicine Scutellaria baicalensis. It has been reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects against ICH-induced brain injury as well as reduce iron deposition in multiple tissues. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the protective mechanisms of baicalin against ferroptosis caused by ICH using a hemin-induced in vitro model and a Type IV collagenase-induced in vivo model. Our results revealed that baicalin enhanced cell viability and suppressed ferroptosis in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells treated with hemin, erastin and RSL3. Importantly, baicalin showed anti-ferroptosis effect on primary cortical neurons (PCN). Furthermore, baicalin alleviated motor deficits and brain injury in ICH model mice through inhibiting ferroptosis. Additionally, baicalin existed no obvious toxicity towards the liver and kidney of mice. Evidently, ferroptosis is a key pathological feature of ICH and baicalin can prevent the development of ferroptosis in ICH. As such, baicalin is a potential therapeutic drug for ICH treatment.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most lethal type of stroke, often leads to poor outcomes in the clinic. Due to the complex mechanisms and cell-cell crosstalk during ICH, the neurovascular unit (NVU) was proposed to serve as a promising therapeutic target for ICH research. This review aims to summarize the development of pathophysiological shifts in the NVU and neural-glia networks after ICH. In addition, potential targets for ICH therapy are discussed in this review. Beyond cerebral blood flow, the NVU also plays an important role in protecting neurons, maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis, coordinating neuronal activity among supporting cells, forming and maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and regulating neuroimmune responses. During ICH, NVU dysfunction is induced, along with neuronal cell death, microglia and astrocyte activation, endothelial cell (EC) and tight junction (TJ) protein damage, and BBB disruption. In addition, it has been shown that certain targets and candidates can improve ICH-induced secondary brain injury based on an NVU and neural-glia framework. Moreover, therapeutic approaches and strategies for ICH are discussed.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological disorder resulting from the nontraumatic rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of programmed cell death, which is an important pathological feature of ICH injury. At present, the therapeutic efficacy of ICH treatment is far from satisfactory, so it is urgent to develop a safer and more effective method to treat ICH injury. Resveratrol (Res), a widely used nonflavonoid polyphenol compound, plays a neuroprotective role in many diseases. However, its poor oral bioavailability limits its clinical application in ICH. Polymer nanoparticles (NPs) are a commonly used drug delivery matrix material with good biocompatibility. To improve its bioavailability and accumulation in the brain, we used NPs to encapsulate Res. These spherical Res nanoparticles (Res-NPs) had a particle size of 297.57 ± 7.07 nm, a PDI of 0.23 ± 0.02 and a zeta potential of -5.45 ± 0.27 mV. They could be taken up by Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells through a variety of nonspecific endocytosis mechanisms, mainly mediated by clathrin and plasma membrane microcapsules. After entering the cell, Res-NPs tend to accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. In a zebrafish model, we observed that Res-NPs could transport across physiological barriers. In a Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model, we found that Res-NPs had more desirable improvements in Res accumulation within the plasma and brain. Moreover, we demonstrated that Res-NPs were able to inhibit ferroptosis induced by erastin in HT22 mouse hippocampal cells, which are commonly used in in vitro studies to examine neuronal differentiation and neurotoxicity implicated in brain injuries or neurological diseases. Finally, in an ICH mouse model, we confirmed that Res-NPs are a safer and effective treatment for ICH injury. Collectively, Res-NPs are effective to improve Res brain delivery and its therapeutic efficacy in ICH treatment.

Inhibition of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 attenuates neuroinflammation via PGE2/EP2/NOX2 signalling and improves the outcome of intracerebral haemorrhage in mice. Brain Behav Immun 2021; 91:615-626. [PMID: 33035633 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2020.09.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) plays a critical role in proinflammatory processes in the central nervous system by modulating microglia activation. The aim of this study was to explore the anti-inflammatory effects and neurological function improvement of LPA1 inhibition after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in mice and to determine whether prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), E-type prostaglandin receptor 2 (EP2), and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) signalling are involved in LPA1-mediated neuroinflammation. ICH was induced in CD1 mice by autologous whole blood injection. AM966, a selective LPA1 antagonist, was administered by oral gavage 1 h and 12 h after ICH. The LPA1 endogenous ligand, LPA was administered to verify the effect of LPA1 activation. To elucidate potential inflammatory mechanisms of LPA1, the selective EP2 activator butaprost was administered by intracerebroventricular injection with either AM966 or LPA1 CRISPR knockout (KO). Water content of the brain, neurobehavior, immunofluorescence staining, and western blot were performed. After ICH, EP2 was expressed in microglia whereas LPA1 was expressed in microglia, neurons, and astrocytes, which peaked after 24 h. AM966 inhibition of LPA1 improved neurologic function, reduced brain oedema, and suppressed perihematomal inflammatory cells after ICH. LPA administration aggravated neurological deficits after ICH. AM966 treatment and LPA1 CRISPR KO both decreased the expressions of PGE2, EP2, NOX2, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β expressions after ICH, which was reversed by butaprost. This study demonstrated that inhibition of LPA1 attenuated neuroinflammation caused by ICH via PGE2/EP2/NOX2 signalling pathway in mice, which consequently improved neurobehavioral functions and alleviated brain oedema. LPA1 may be a promising therapeutic target to attenuate ICH-induced secondary brain injury.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a complex disease whose pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. In addition to the long prevailing dopaminergic hypothesis, the evidence suggests that neuroinflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of the disease. Recent studies using positron emission tomography (PET) that target a 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in activated microglial cells in an attempt to measure neuroinflammation in patients have shown a decrease or a lack of an increase in TSPO binding. Many biological and methodological considerations have been formulated to explain these findings. Although dopamine has been described as an immunomodulatory molecule, its potential role in neuroinflammation has not been explored in the aforementioned studies. In this review, we discuss the interactions between dopamine and neuroinflammation in psychotic states. Dopamine may inhibit neuroinflammation in activated microglia. Proinflammatory molecules released from microglia may decrease dopaminergic transmission. This could potentially explain why the levels of neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with schizophrenia seem to be unchanged or decreased compared to those in healthy subjects. However, most data are indirect and are derived from animal studies or from studies performed outside the field of schizophrenia. Further studies are needed to combine TSPO and dopamine imaging to study the association between microglial activation and dopamine system function.

Abstract
Objective Dopamine D2‐like receptors – mainly dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) and dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) – are believed to be greatly involved in the pathology of Parkinson disease (PD) progression. However, these receptors have not been precisely examined in PD patients. Our aim was to quantitatively calculate the exact densities of dopamine D1 receptors (D1R), D2R, and D3R in control, Alzheimer disease (AD), and Lewy body disease (LBD) patients (including PD, Dementia with Lewy bodies, and Parkinson disease dementia); and analyze the relationship between dopamine receptors and clinical PD manifestations. Methods We analyzed the densities of D1R, D2R, and D3R in the striatum and substantia nigra (SN) using a novel quantitative autoradiography procedure previously developed by our group. We also examined the expression of D2R and D3R mRNA in the striatum by in situ hybridization. Results The results showed that although no differences of striatal D1R were found among all groups; D2R was significantly decreased in the striatum of PD patients when compared with control and AD patients. Some clinical manifestations: age of onset, PD stage, dopamine responsiveness, and survival time after onset; showed a better correlation with striatal D1R + D3R densities combined compared to D1R or D3R alone. Interpretation There is a possibility that we may infer the results in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PD by detecting D1R + D3R as opposed to using dopamine D1 or D3 receptors alone. This is especially true for elderly patients with low D2R expression as is common in this disease.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether escin ameliorates the impairments of neurological function by ameliorating systemic inflammation instead of targeting the brain directly in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mice. It showed that escin did not cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). Compared with the ICH group, the Garcia test scores in the escin groups were significantly increased. Brain water contents and Evans blue extravasation of the right basal ganglia in the ICH group were augmented, and significantly reduced by escin. Escin abated the increases of monocyte counts and serum IL-1β levels induced by ICH. IL-1β administration reversed the effect of escin on Garcia test scores, the brain water contents, and the Evans blue extravasation. Escin ameliorated the increasing levels of RhoA, ROCK1, nuclear NF-κB and the decreasing expression of IκBα, cytosolic NF-κB, occludin, claudin-5 in the ICH group. IL-1β administration blocked not only escin-mediated increases of IκBα, cytosolic NF-κB, occludin, and claudin-5, but also escin-caused decreases of RhoA, ROCK1, and nuclear NF-κB. The results indicate that escin improves neurological outcomes and the BBB function in ICH mice, which is associated with attenuating ICH-induced peripheral system inflammation, and therefore, inhibiting IL-1β/RhoA/NF-κB signaling pathway in BBB, at least in part. These findings suggest that it may be useful to ameliorate brain injury by inhibiting systemic inflammation instead of aiming to target the brain directly after ICH.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a fundamental regulator of blood pressure and has emerged as an important player in the control of inflammatory processes. Accordingly, imbalance on RAS components either systemically or locally might trigger the development of inflammatory disorders by affecting immune cells. At the same time, alterations in the dopaminergic system have been consistently involved in the physiopathology of inflammatory disorders. Accordingly, the interaction between the RAS and the dopaminergic system has been studied in the context of inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS), kidney, and intestine, where they exert antagonistic actions in the regulation of the immune system. In this review, we summarized, integrated, and discussed the cross talk of the dopaminergic system and the RAS in the regulation of inflammatory pathologies, including neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. We analyzed the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between both systems in the CNS and in systemic pathologies. Moreover, we also analyzed the impact of the commensal microbiota in the regulation of RAS and dopaminergic system and how it is involved in inflammatory disorders. Furthermore, we summarized the therapeutic approaches that have yielded positive results in preclinical or clinical studies regarding the use of drugs targeting the RAS and dopaminergic system for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Further understanding of the molecular and cellular regulation of the RAS-dopaminergic cross talk should allow the formulation of new therapies consisting of novel drugs and/or repurposing already existing drugs, alone or in combination, for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and morbidity for which effective treatments are currently lacking. Wogonin is a major flavonoid compound isolated from Scutellaria radix. Accumulating evidence suggests that wogonin plays a crucial role in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress. Treatment of microglia with nuclear receptor agonists augments the expression of phagocytosis-related genes. However, the neuroprotective effects of wogonin in ICH remain obscure. In this study, we elucidated an innovative mechanism by which wogonin acts to enhance phagocytosis in a murine model of ICH. Wogonin promoted hematoma clearance and improved neurological recovery after ICH by upregulating the expression of Axl, MerTK, CD36, and LAMP2 in perihematomal microglia and BV2 cells. Treatment of a murine model of ICH with wogonin stimulated microglial phagocytosis in vitro. Further, we demonstrated that wogonin dramatically attenuated inflammatory and oxidative stress responses in a murine model of ICH by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and pro-oxidant enzymes such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) after ICH. The effects of wogonin were abolished by administration of the PPAR-γ inhibitor GW9662. In conclusion, our data suggest that wogonin facilitates hematoma clearance and neurobehavioral recovery by targeting PPAR-γ.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high mortality and disability but no specific or effective treatment. In the last two decades, much has been learned about the pathologic mechanisms of ICH. It is now known that after ICH onset, immune and inflammatory responses contribute to blood-brain barrier disruption, edema development, and cell death processes, jointly resulting in secondary brain injury. However, the translation of potential therapies from preclinical to clinical success has been disappointing. With the development of new laboratory technology, recent progress has been made in the understanding of ICH pathomechanisms, and promising therapeutic targets have been identified. This review provides an update of recent progress on ICH and describes the prospects for further preclinical studies in this field. Our goal is to discuss new therapeutic targets and directions for the treatment of ICH and promote the effective transformation from preclinical to clinical trials.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most fatal subtype of stroke; there is still a lack of effective treatment. Microglia are a major component of the innate immune system, and they respond to acute brain injury by activating and forming classic M1-like (pro-inflammatory) or alternative M2-like (anti-inflammatory) phenotype. The existence of the polarization indicates that the role of microglia in disease's progression and recovery after ICH is still unclear, perhaps involving microglial secretion of anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is considered to be the main participant in neuroinflammation. Recent evidence has shown that NLRP3 inflammasome can be activated after ICH, resulting in inflammatory cascade reactions and aggravating brain injury. Furthermore, previous studies have reported that NLRP3 inflammasome is mainly present in microglia, so we speculate that its activation may be strongly associated with microglial polarization. Many scholars have investigated the role of brain injury caused by NLRP3 inflammasome after ICH, but the precise operating mechanisms remain uncertain. This review summarized the activation mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome after ICH and the possible mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome promoting neuroinflammation and aggravating nerve injury and discussed the relevant potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The activation of C-C chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1) has been shown to be pro-inflammatory in several animal models of neurological diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the activation of CCR1 on neuroinflammation in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the mechanism of CCR1/tetratricopeptide repeat 1 (TPR1)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway in CCR1-mediated neuroinflammation. Adult male CD1 mice (n = 210) were used in the study. The selective CCR1 antagonist Met-RANTES was administered intranasally at 1 h after autologous blood injection. To elucidate potential mechanism, a specific ERK1/2 activator (ceramide C6) was administered prior to Met-RANTES treatment; CCR1 activator (recombinant CCL5, rCCL5) and TPR1 CRISPR were administered in naïve mouse. Neurobehavioral assessments, brain water content, immunofluorescence staining, and western blot were performed. The endogenous expressions of CCR1, CCL5, TPR1, and p-ERK1/2 were increased in the brain after ICH. CCR1 were expressed on microglia, neurons, and astrocytes. The inhibition of CCR1 with Met-RANTES improved neurologic function, decreased brain edema, and suppressed microglia/macrophage activations and neutrophil infiltration after ICH. Met-RANTES treatment decreased expressions of CCR1, TPR1, p-ERK, TNF-α, and IL-1β, which was reversed by ceramide C6. The brain CCR1 activation by rCCL5 injection in naïve mouse resulted in neurological deficits and increased expressions of CCR1, TPR1, p-ERK, TNF-α, and IL-1β. These detrimental effects of rCCL5 were reversed by TPR1 knockdown using TPR1 CRISPR. Our study demonstrated that CCR1 activation promoted neuroinflammation through CCR1/TPR1/ERK1/2 signaling pathway after ICH in mice. CCR1 inhibition with Met-RANTES attenuated neuroinflammation, thereby reducing brain edema and improving neurobehavioral functions. Targeting CCR1 activation may provide a promising therapeutic approach in the management of ICH patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation is an important host defense response to secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) confers strong neuroprotective effects by attenuating neuroinflammation in experimental ischemic stroke. Recent studies suggest that apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a novel, high-affinity ligand of TREM2. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TREM2 activation on neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in a mouse model of ICH. METHODS Adult male CD1 mice (n = 216) were subjected to intrastriatal injection of bacterial collagenase. The TREM2 ligand, apoE-mimetic peptide COG1410 was administered intranasally at 1 h after ICH induction. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, TREM2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 were administered intracerebroventricularly prior to COG1410 treatment. Neurobehavioral tests, brain water content, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and Fluoro-Jade C- and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining were performed. RESULTS Endogenous TREM2 expression was increased and peaked at 24 h after ICH. TREM2 was expressed on microglia, astrocytes, and neurons. COG1410 improved both short-term and long-term neurological functions, reduced brain edema, inhibited microglia/macrophage activation and neutrophil infiltration, and suppressed neuronal apoptotic cell death in perihematomal areas after ICH. Knockdown of endogenous TREM2 by TREM2 siRNA aggravated neurological deficits and decreased the expression of TREM2 in naïve and ICH mice. COG1410 was associated with upregulation of TREM2, PI3K, phosphorylated-Akt, and Bcl-2 and downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, and Bax after ICH. The neuroprotective effects of COG1410 were abolished by both TREM2 siRNA and PI3K inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSIONS Our finding demonstrated that TREM2 activation improved neurological functions and attenuated neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis after ICH, which was, at least in part, mediated by activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, activation of TREM2 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of ICH patients.
