Therapeutic efficacy of intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells in rat perinatal brain injury. Pediatr Res 2023; 94:1921-1928. [PMID: 37422495 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02717-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perinatal brain injury is multifactorial and primarily associated with brain prematurity, inflammation, and hypoxia-ischemia. Although recent advances in perinatal medicine have improved the survival rates of preterm infants, neurodevelopmental disorders remain a significant complication. We tested whether the intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) had therapeutic efficacy against perinatal brain injury in rats. METHODS Pregnant rats at embryonic day (E) 18 received lipopolysaccharide and the pups were born at E21. On postnatal day (PND) 7, the left common carotid artery of each pup was ligated, and they were exposed to 8% oxygen for 2 h. They were randomized on PND10, and MSCs or vehicle were intravenously infused. We performed behavioral assessments, measured brain volume using MRI, and performed histological analyses on PND49. RESULTS Infused MSCs showed functional improvements in our model. In vivo MRI revealed that MSC infusion increased non-ischemic brain volume compared to the vehicle group. Histological analyses showed that cortical thickness, the number of NeuN+ and GAD67+ cells, and synaptophysin density in the non-ischemic hemisphere in the MSC group were greater than the vehicle group, but less than the control group. CONCLUSIONS Infused MSCs improve sensorimotor and cognitive functions in perinatal brain injury and enhance neuronal growth. IMPACT Intravenous infusion of MSCs improved neurological function in rats with perinatal brain injury, including motor, sensorimotor, cognitive, spatial, and learning memory. Infused MSCs increased residual (non-ischemic) tissue volume, number of neuronal cells, GABAergic cells, and cortical synapses in the contralesional (right) hemisphere. Intravenous administration of MSC might be suitable for the treatment of perinatal brain injury.

Diallyl disulfide attenuates pyroptosis via NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway to exert a protective effect on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rats. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 124:111030. [PMID: 37844463 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111030] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a perinatal brain disease caused by hypoxia in neonates. It is one of the leading causes of neonatal death in the perinatal period, as well as disability beyond the neonatal period. Due to the lack of a unified and comprehensive treatment strategy for HIE, research into its pathogenesis is essential. Diallyl disulfide (DADS) is an allicin extract, with detoxifying, antibacterial, and cardiovascular disease protective effects. This study aimed to determine whether DADS can alleviate HIE induced brain damage in rats and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced pyroptosis in PC12 cells, as well as whether it can inhibit pyroptosis via the NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway. In vivo, DADS significantly reduced the cerebral infarction volume, alleviated inflammatory reaction, reduced astrocyte activation, promoted tissue structure recovery, improved pyroptosis caused by HIE and improved the prognosis following HI injury. In vitro findings indicated that DADS increased cell activity, decreased LDH activity and reduced the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins, including IL-1β, IL-18, and certain inflammatory factors in PC12 cells caused by OGD. Mechanistically, DADS inhibited pyroptosis and protected against HIE via the NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β pathway. The specific inhibitor of caspase-1, VX-765, inhibited caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β expression was determined. Additionally, the overexpression of NLRP3 reversed the protective effect of allicin against OGD-induced pyroptosis. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that DADS inhibits the NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway and decreases HI brain damage.

Abstract
Objectives The goal of this exploratory study is to determine if urine:serum fractional excretion ratios can outperform the corresponding urinary biomarker proteins in identifying active renal disease in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Thirty-six adult SLE patients and twelve healthy controls were examined for serum and urine levels of 8 protein markers, namely ALCAM, calpastatin, hemopexin, peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), platelet factor 4 (PF4), properdin, TFPI and VCAM-1, by ELISA. Fractional excretion of analyzed biomarkers was calculated after normalizing both the urine and serum biomarker levels against creatinine. A further validation cohort of fifty SLE patients was included to validate the initial findings. Results The FE ratios of all 8 proteins interrogated outperformed conventional disease activity markers such as anti-dsDNA, C3 and C4 in identifying renal disease activity. All but VCAM-1FE were superior to the corresponding urine biomarkers levels in differentiating LN activity, exhibiting positive correlation with renal SLEDAI. ALCAMFE, PF4FE and properdinFE ratios exhibited the highest accuracy (AUC>0.9) in distinguishing active LN from inactive SLE. Four of the FE ratios exhibited perfect sensitivity (calpastatin, PRDX6, PF4 and properdin), while ALCAMFE, PF4FE and properdinFE exhibited the highest specificity values for active LN. In addition, several of these novel biomarkers were associated with higher renal pathology activity indices. In the validation cohort ALCAMFE, PF4FE and properdinFE once again exhibited higher accuracy metrics, surpassing corresponding urine and serum biomarkers levels, with ALCAMFE exhibiting 95% accuracy in distinguishing active LN from inactive SLE. Conclusions With most of the tested proteins, urine:serum fractional excretion ratios outperformed corresponding urine and serum protein measurements in identifying active renal involvement in SLE. Hence, this novel class of biomarkers in SLE ought to be systemically evaluated in larger independent cohorts for their diagnostic utility in LN assessment.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a familiar neurological disorder. Emerging reports manifest that microRNAs (miRs) are related to the progression of HIBD. The goal of this study is to explore the mechanism of miR-192-5p in HIBD via regulation of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)-mediated Hippo signaling pathway. The miR-192-5p, YAP1, and Hippo pathway-related factors Phospho (p)-Triaminoguanidinium azide (TAZ) in hippocampal tissues and neurons were detected. The regulatory relationship between miR-192-5p and YAP1 was verified. Neonatal hypoxic ischemia and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) were used to simulate HIBD in vivo and in vitro. The neurobehavioral impairment, neuronal damage and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression of neonatal rats in each group were detected. The viability, apoptosis and VEGF expression of hippocampal neurons in each group were also examined. MiR-192-5p expression was elevated while YAP1 expression was reduced in hippocampal tissues of HIBD rats in vivo and OGD neurons in vitro. MiR-192-5p had a targeting relation with YAP1. Suppressed miR-192-5p or overexpressed YAP1 in HIBD rats alleviated neurobehavioral impairment and neuronal damage, and decreased the expression levels of p-TAZ and VEGF expression in vivo. Reduced miR-192-5p or augmented YAP1 decelerated the neuron apoptosis, decreased the p-TAZ level and VEGF level and promoted cell viability of OGD hippocampal neurons in vitro. The study highlights that inhibited miR-192-5p protects against HIBD via regulation of YAP1 and Hippo signaling pathway, which is beneficial for HIBD treatment.

Abstract
Neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic brain damage is a leading cause of child mortality and morbidity, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and cognitive disabilities. The majority of neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic cases arise as a result of impaired cerebral perfusion to the foetus attributed to uterine, placental, or umbilical cord compromise prior to or during delivery. Bacterial infection is a factor contributing to the damage and is recorded in more than half of preterm births. Exposure to infection exacerbates neuronal hypoxic-ischaemic damage thus leading to a phenomenon called infection-sensitised hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury. Models of neonatal hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) have been developed in different animals. Both human and animal studies show that the developmental stage and the severity of the HI insult affect the selective regional vulnerability of the brain to damage, as well as the subsequent clinical manifestations. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only clinically approved treatment for neonatal HI. However, the number of HI infants needed to treat with TH for one to be saved from death or disability at age of 18-22 months, is approximately 6-7, which highlights the need for additional or alternative treatments to replace TH or increase its efficiency. In this review we discuss the mechanisms of HI injury to the immature brain and the new experimental treatments studied for neonatal HI and infection-sensitised neonatal HI.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of permanent damage to central nervous system (CNS) that may result in neonatal death or manifest later as mental retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or developmental delay. The primary cause of this condition is systemic hypoxemia and/or reduced cerebral blood flow with long-lasting neurological disabilities and neurodevelopmental impairment in neonates. About 20 to 25% of infants with HIE die in the neonatal period, and 25-30% of survivors are left with permanent neurodevelopmental abnormalities. The mechanisms of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) include activation and/or stimulation of myriad of cascades such as increased excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor hyperexcitability, mitochondrial collapse, inflammation, cell swelling, impaired maturation, and loss of trophic support. Different therapeutic modalities have been implicated in managing neonatal HIE, though translation of most of these regimens into clinical practices is still limited. Therapeutic hypothermia, for instance, is the most widely used standard treatment in neonates with HIE as studies have shown that it can inhibit many steps in the excito-oxidative cascade including secondary energy failure, increases in brain lactic acid, glutamate, and nitric oxide concentration. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that has been implicated in stimulation of cell survival, proliferation, and function of neutrophil precursors and mature neutrophils. Extensive studies both in vivo and ex vivo have shown the neuroprotective effect of G-CSF in neurodegenerative diseases and neonatal brain damage via inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation. Yet, there are still few experimentation models of neonatal HIE and G-CSF's effectiveness, and extrapolation of adult stroke models is challenging because of the evolving brain. Here, we review current studies and/or researches of G-CSF's crucial role in regulating these cytokines and apoptotic mediators triggered following neonatal brain injury, as well as driving neurogenesis and angiogenesis post-HI insults.

Abstract
The complement cascade was identified over 100 years ago, yet investigation of its role in pregnancy remains an area of intense research. Complement inhibitors at the maternal-fetal interface prevent inappropriate complement activation to protect the fetus. However, this versatile proteolytic cascade also favorably influences numerous stages of pregnancy, including implantation, fetal development, and labor. Inappropriate complement activation in pregnancy can have adverse lifelong sequelae for both mother and child. This review summarizes the current understanding of complement activation during all stages of pregnancy. In addition, consequences of complement dysregulation during adverse pregnancy outcomes from miscarriage, preeclampsia, and pre-term birth are examined. Finally, future research directions into complement activation during pregnancy are considered.

Abstract
Hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates can lead to severe chronic neurological deficit, including mental retardation, epilepsy, and sleep–wake cycle (SWC) disorder. Among these defects, little is known about the molecular mechanism of circadian rhythm disorder after HIE. Therefore, further study of sleep problems and its mechanism in HIE children will provide new ideas for clinical treatment of HIE children. For pediatric patients with cerebral ischemia, somnipathy often occurs due to visual and airway abnormalities. From May 2010 to August 2013, 128 newborns with history of HIE were followed up. Meanwhile, 88 normal full-term newborns in the same period were taken as the control group. The clinical data of the patients were collected and the sleep status was assessed by questionnaire. To establish the hypoxic–ischemic brain injury model of neonatal rats and analyze the mechanism of mir-182 in the circadian rhythm disorder caused by pineal function injury. The core clock genes during the regulation of the circadian clock were explored by bioinformatics methods. Patients’ sleep quality was affected by the circadian rhythm and respiratory problems; the pineal gland can regulate the core clock genes in the circadian clock during regulation. miR-182 was highly expressed in the pineal gland after hypoxic–ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Children with mild and moderate HIE showed significant sleep disorders in varying degrees, which provided a clinical basis for improving the long-term prognosis of children with HIE through targeted treatment of sleep disorders. MiR-182 is highly expressed in the pineal gland and is related to the expression of CLOCK protein. CLOCK gene is the target gene of miR-182, which provides a new target for the treatment of rhythm disorder related to the damage of pineal function caused by HIBD.
