Interfering TRIB3 protects the blood brain barrier through PI3K/Akt pathway to alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetes mellitus mice. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 387:110807. [PMID: 37980971 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to treat diabetic cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI/RI) by affecting blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability and integrity. The CI/RI model in DM mice and a high glucose (HG) treated oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) brain endothelial cell model were established for the study. Evans blue (EB) staining was used to evaluate the permeability of BBB in vivo. TTC staining was used to analyze cerebral infarction. The location and expression of tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) in endothelial cells were detected by immunofluorescence. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of TRIB3, tight junction molecules, adhesion molecules, phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) and AKT. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were detected by qRT-PCR. Trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran were used to measure vascular permeability in vitro. TRIB3 ubiquitination and acetylation levels were detected. Acetyltransferase bound to TRIB3 were identified by immunoprecipitation. TRIB3 was localized in cerebral endothelial cells and was highly expressed in diabetic CI/R mice. The BBB permeability in diabetic CI/R mice and HG-treated OGD/R cells was increased, while the junction integrity was decreased. Interference with TRIB3 in vitro reduces BBB permeability and increases junction integrity. In vivo interfering with TRIB3 reduced cerebral infarction volume, BBB permeability and inflammation levels, and upregulated p-AKT levels. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin reversed the effects of TRIB3-interfering plasmid. In vitro HG treatment induced TRIB3 acetylation through acetyltransferase p300, which in turn reduced ubiquitination and stabilized TRIB3. Interfering TRIB3 protects BBB by activating PI3K/AKT pathway and alleviates brain injury, which provides a new target for diabetic CI/RI.

Abstract
The primary function of the cerebellum is the coordination and regulation of movement; therefore, cerebellar tumors usually present with ataxia, dysarthria, and vertigo. Large tumors also cause elevated intracranial pressure that may lead to a disturbance of consciousness. Furthermore, it has become increasingly evident that the cerebellum plays a substantial role in cognitive and affective processing. A 44-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of depression and flat affect. She had no cerebellar symptoms including no coordination dysfunction or dysarthria. Cognitive function tests revealed impairments in attention, execution, and processing speed. Hamilton Depression Scale and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale indicated moderate-to-severe depression. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a 7-mm enhancing lesion in the culmen of the cerebellar vermis with surrounding edema. Technetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) showed hypoperfusion in the left frontal lobe. Although she was initially treated with corticosteroids for presumed sero-negative autoimmune encephalitis, her symptoms persisted. She then underwent cerebellar lesion resection. The histologic diagnosis was hemangioblastoma. The patient's symptoms dramatically improved within 1 week of resection, including improved batteries for cognitive function and depression. Complete regression of cerebellar edema and left frontal lobe hypoperfusion was observed on MR and SPECT images, respectively. This case reiterates the crucial influence of the cerebellum on cognitive and affective function. Moreover, cognitive dysfunction may be masked in cases with focal cerebellar symptoms or elevated intracranial pressure and, consequently, not adequately evaluated.

Inhibition of interaction between ROCK1 and Rubicon restores autophagy in endothelial cells and attenuates brain injury after prolonged ischemia. J Neurochem 2023; 164:172-192.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) induces cerebral endothelial cell death resulting in the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Endothelial cell autophagy acts as a protective mechanism against cell death. Autophagy is activated in the very early stages of ischemic stroke and declines after prolonged ischemia. Previous studies have shown that Rubicon can inhibit autophagy. The current study aimed to investigate whether continuous long-term ischemia can inhibit autophagy in endothelial cells after ischemic stroke by regulating the function of Rubicon and its underlying mechanism. Wild-type male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). ROCK1, ROCK2, and NOX2 inhibitors were injected into male mice 1 h before the onset of tMCAO. Disease severity and BBB permeability were evaluated. bEnd.3 cells were cultured in vitro and subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). bEnd.3 cells were pretreated with or without ROCK1, ROCK2, or NOX2 inhibitors overnight and then subjected to OGD. Cell viability and permeability were also evaluated. The expression of Rubicon, ROCK1, and autophagy-related proteins were analyzed. Increased BBB permeability was correlated with Rubicon expression in tMCAO mice and Rubicon was upregulated in endothelial cells subjected to OGD. Autophagy was inhibited in endothelial cells after long-term OGD treatment and knockdown of Rubicon expression restored autophagy and viability in endothelial cells subjected to 6-h OGD. ROCK1 inhibition decreased the interaction between Beclin1 and Rubicon and restored cell viability and autophagy suppressed by 6-h OGD treatment in endothelial cells. Additionally, ROCK1 inhibition suppressed Rubicon, attenuated BBB disruption, and brain injury induced by prolonged ischemia in 6-h tMCAO mice. Prolonged ischemia induced the death of brain endothelial cells and the breakdown of the BBB, thus aggravating brain injury by increasing the interaction of ROCK1 and Rubicon with Beclin1 while inhibiting canonical autophagy. Inhibition of ROCK1 signaling in endothelial cells could be a promising therapeutic strategy to prolong the therapeutic time window in AIS.

Abstract
Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are rare, benign, hypervascularized tumors. Fluorescent imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) can visualize tumor angioarchitecture. The authors report a case of multiple HBs involving two radiologically silent lesions only detected intraoperatively by ICG fluorescence. A 26-year-old woman presented with a cystic cerebellar mass on the tentorial surface of the left cerebellar hemisphere on MRI. A left paramedian suboccipital approach was performed to remove the mural nodule with the aid of ICG injection. The first injection, applied just prior to removing the nodule, highlighted the tumor and vessels. After resection, two new lesions, invisible on the preoperative MRI, surprisingly enhanced on fluorescent imaging 35 minutes after the ICG bolus. Both silent lesions were removed. Histological analysis of all three lesions revealed they were positive for HB. The main goal of this report is to hypothesize possible explanations about the mechanism that led to the behavior of the two silent lesions. Intraoperative ICG videoangiography was useful to understand the 3D angioarchitecture and HB flow patterns to perform a safe and complete resection in this case. Understanding the HB ultrastructure and pathophysiological mechanisms, in conjunction with the properties of ICG, may expand potential applications for their diagnosis and future treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autophagy is an extensive self-degradation process for the disposition of cytosolic aggregated or misfolded proteins and defective organelles which executes the functions of pro-survival and pro-death to maintain cellular homeostasis. The pathway plays essential roles in several neurological disorders. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with high risk of neurological deficit and high mortality. Early brain injury (EBI) plays a role in the poor clinical course and outcome after SAH. Recent studies have paid attention on the role of the autophagy pathway in the development of EBI after SAH. We aim to update the multifaceted roles of autophagy pathway in the pathogenesis of SAH, especially in the phase of EBI. METHODS We reviewed early researches related to autophagy and SAH. The following three aspects of contents will be mainly discussed: the process of the autophagy pathway, the role of the autophagy in SAH and the interaction between organelle dysfunction and autophagy pathway after SAH. RESULTS Accumulating evidence shows an increased autophagy reaction in response to early stages of SAH. However, others suggest inadequate or excessive autophagy activation can result in cell injury and death. In addition to autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis can occur in neurons simultaneously after SAH, leading to mixed features of cell death morphologies. And it is also known that there is extensive crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis pathway. Subcellular organelles of neural cells generally participate in the formation and functional parts of autophagy process. CONCLUSION Autophagy plays an important role in the SAH-induced brain injury. A better understanding of the interrelationship among autophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis might provide us better therapeutic targets for the treatment of SAH.

MALAT1 lncRNA Induces Autophagy and Protects Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation by Binding to miR-200c-3p and Upregulating SIRT1 Expression. Neuroscience 2018; 397:116-126.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is one of the most highly upregulated lncRNAs in cerebral ischemia. However, the molecular mechanism of MALAT1 during cerebral ischemia is still unclear. This experiment is intended to investigate the role of MALAT1 in cerebral ischemia and its relationship with autophagy. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) was used to mimic ischemic-like conditions in vitro. Real-time PCR, MTT, LDH assay and western blot were used to evaluate the levels of MALAT1, miR-200c-3p, SIRT1, cell survival and proteins. We found that the expression of MALAT1 and LC3BII were upregulated and p62 was downregulated by OGD. Inhibition of MALAT1 attenuated the autophagy activation and promoted cell death. We further revealed that MALAT1 downregulated the expression of miR-200c-3p by directly binding to miR-200c-3p. Furthermore, miR-200c-3p inhibited the autophagy and survival in BMECs by binding to 3'UTR of SIRT1, whereas MALAT1 overturned the inhibitory effect of miR-200c-3p. In conclusion, our study illuminated a novel Malat1-miR-200c-3p-SIRT1 pathway in the regulation of autophagy, in which, MALAT1 activates autophagy and promotes cell survival by binding to miR-200c-3p and upregulating SIRT1 expression.

Abstract
Hemangioblastoma is usually amenable to total surgical resection, but indication for surgery can be hampered by its location, multiplicity, or repeated recurrences frequently observed in patients with von Hippel Lindau disease (VHLD). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been administered for such cases as an alternative therapeutic option with generally favorable clinical response, but the effect of SRS has not been underscored by histological examination of the treated hemangioblastoma. Here we present histology of VHLD-associated hemangioblastoma tissue resected three months after SRS because of cyst enlargement. It confirmed that hemangioblastoma cells totally disappeared after SRS with a marginal dose of 20 Gy. Furthermore, Electron microscope revealed that endothelial cells of the vascular structure disappeared while maintaining the basement membranes, and leakage of intraluminal contents was observed around the structure. We showed the SRS was effective for hemangioblastoma pathologically at least with the marginal dose of 20 Gy. Leakage of intraluminal contents from the damaged vascular structure losing the endothelial cells is one possible mechanism for the cyst enlargement, and it may be a reason of poor control rate of SRS for the cystic hemangioblastoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE We developed a semi-automated volumetric software, NPerfusion, to segment brain tumors and quantify perfusion parameters on whole-brain CT perfusion (WBCTP) images. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of the software and to validate its performance compared with manual segmentation. METHODS Twenty-nine patients with pathologically proven brain tumors who underwent preoperative WBCTP between August 2012 and February 2015 were included. Three perfusion parameters, arterial flow (AF), equivalent blood volume (EBV), and Patlak flow (PF, which is a measure of permeability of capillaries), of brain tumors were generated by a commercial software and then quantified volumetrically by NPerfusion, which also semi-automatically segmented tumor boundaries. The quantification was validated by comparison with that of manual segmentation in terms of the concordance correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS With NPerfusion, we successfully performed segmentation and quantified whole volumetric perfusion parameters of all 29 brain tumors that showed consistent perfusion trends with previous studies. The validation of the perfusion parameter quantification exhibited almost perfect agreement with manual segmentation, with Lin concordance correlation coefficients (ρ c) for AF, EBV, and PF of 0.9988, 0.9994, and 0.9976, respectively. On Bland-Altman analysis, most differences between this software and manual segmentation on the commercial software were within the limit of agreement. CONCLUSIONS NPerfusion successfully performs segmentation of brain tumors and calculates perfusion parameters of brain tumors. We validated this semi-automated segmentation software by comparing it with manual segmentation. NPerfusion can be used to calculate volumetric perfusion parameters of brain tumors from WBCTP.

Abstract
Brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMVEC) injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is the initial phase of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, which results in a poor prognosis for ischemic stroke patients. Autophagy occurs in ischemic brain and has been shown to exhibit protective effects on endothelial cell against stress. However, the potential effects of BMVEC autophagy on BBB permeability during I/R and the mechanisms underlying these effects have yet to be elucidated. In the current study, we answered these questions by using chemical modulators of autophagy, including rapamycin and lithium carbonate acting, respectively, as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-dependent and mTOR-independent autophagy inducers and 3-methyladenine (3-MA) as an autophagy inhibitor. To mimic I/R injury, BMVECs were exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R), and a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was performed. All the drugs were given at 0.5 h before OGD/R or MCAO/R. First, enhancement of autophagy by rapamycin and lithium carbonate attenuated, whereas suppression of autophagy by 3-MA intensified BMVEC apoptosis and the high level of ROS induced by OGD/R. In addition, rapamycin and lithium carbonate pretreatments significantly reversed the decreased level of tight junction protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) induced by OGD/R and promoted the distribution of ZO-1 on cell membranes. Finally, pretreatments with rapamycin and lithium carbonate reduced evans blue extravasation and brain water content in the ischemic hemisphere of the rat. In contrast, 3-MA pretreatment exerted opposite effects both in vitro and in vivo. These results may indicate a beneficial effect of BMVEC autophagy on BBB integrity during I/R injury.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the imaging findings of lesions that present as cyst with a mural nodule tumor (CMNT). CMNT is a subtype pattern of intra-axial enhancement in central nervous system tumors, typical of a variety of brain neoplasms, including, as the most common, hemangioblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, ganglioglioma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma and as less common tanycytic ependymoma, intraparenchymal schwannoma, desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma and cystic metastasis. A retrospective design was chosen given the rarity of CMNT. Relevant cases were obtained retrospectively to review the different lesions that can present with the appearance of CMNT.

Abstract
Supratentorial hemangioblastomas (HBs) are exceedingly rare tumors accounting for 5%-10% of all HBs and usually present in the setting of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Isolated HBs of the central nervous system also occur as a result of spontaneous mutation in the absence of any clinical manifestations of VHL disease. Of 13 temporal lobe HBs, only one non-VHL case was reported in the hippocampus. We describe the TRICKS findings in a case of isolated hemangioblastoma in the hippocampus without VHL disease. To our knowledge, this is the second case report of a hippocampal non-VHL hemangioblastoma.

Abstract
Meningiomas are attributed to those tumours with slow-growing pattern occurring predominantly in middle-aged or elderly patients. Fifteen histological variants have been described based on the variable histomorphological features. Herein we report four cases with specific Zellballen growth pattern, giving the tumours a 'paraganglioma-like' general aspect. The diagnosis of meningiomas was confirmed by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings. Histopathologists should be aware of this specific morphology which can lead to misdiagnosis.

J Clin Neurosci 2009; 16:437-40. [PMID: 19147361 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2008.04.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2008] [Revised: 04/25/2008] [Accepted: 04/29/2008] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Interleukin-5 and interleukin-10, as important mediators of vascular permeability, contribute to the development of various pathologic effusions. However, little is known regarding the involvement of these two cytokines in the formation of cysts associated with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Twenty-eight patients with various cystic CNS tumors were investigated for expression of interleukin-5 and interleukin-10 in cyst fluid and their matched cytokine receptors in tumor tissue. Interleukin-5 and interleukin-10 were detected in cyst fluid, and interleukin-5 concentration was significantly correlated with interleukin-10 concentration (r=0.508, p=0.006). Moreover, both receptors were also detectable in the tumor tissue specimens and high levels of expression were also found in perivascular cells. Therefore, the local production of interleukin-5 and interleukin-10 might be implicated in some types of cyst formation.
