“…The observed upregulation of the antiapoptotic protein kinase Bα (Akt-α) was apparently aimed to cell protection against strokeinduced apoptosis. These data correlate with the increased phosphorylation of Akt and rise in the Akt mRNA level in the ischemic brain of rats [23,24]. Downregulation of proapoptotic kinase GSK-3, which is negatively controlled by protein kinase B/Akt, could be also neuroprotective.…”

After ischemic stroke, cell damage propagates from infarct core to surrounding tissues (penumbra). To reveal proteins involved in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection in penumbra, we studied protein expression changes in 2-mm ring around the core of photothrombotic infarct induced in the rat brain cortex by local laser irradiation after administration of Bengal Rose. The ultrastructural study showed edema and degeneration of neurons, glia, and capillaries. Morphological changes gradually decreased across the penumbra. Using the antibody microarrays, we studied changes in expression of >200 neuronal proteins in penumbra 4 or 24 h after focal photothrombotic infarct. Diverse cellular subsystems were involved in the penumbra tissue response: signal transduction pathways such as protein kinase Bα/GSK-3, protein kinase C and its β1 and β2 isoforms, Wnt/β-catenin (axin1, GSK-3, FRAT1), Notch/NUMB, DYRK1A, TDP43; mitochondria quality control (Pink1, parkin, HtrA2); ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis (ubiquilin-1, UCHL1); axon outgrowth and guidance (NAV-3, CRMP2, PKCβ2); vesicular trafficking (syntaxin-8, TMP21, Munc-18-3, synip, ALS2, VILIP1, syntaxin, synaptophysin, synaptotagmin); biosynthesis of neuromediators (tryptophan hydroxylase, monoamine oxidase B, glutamate decarboxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase, DOPA decarboxylase, dopamine transporter); intercellular interactions (N-cadherin, PMP22); cytoskeleton (neurofilament 68, neurofilament-M, doublecortin); and other proteins (LRP1, prion protein, β-amyloid). These proteins are involved in neurodegeneration or neuroprotection. Such changes were most expressed 4 h after photothrombotic impact. Immunohistochemical and Western blot studies of expression of monoamine oxidase B, UCHL1, DYRK1A, and Munc-18-3 confirmed the proteomic data. These data provide the integral view on the penumbra response to photothrombotic infarct. Some of these proteins can be potential targets for ischemic stroke therapy.

“…β-Amyloid is produced from amyloid precursor protein (APP) by TMP21, a member of the presenilin complex [42]. The observed accumulation of β-amyloid peptide (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) in penumbra could be also neurotoxic.…”

Background:Mounting evidence has demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) could attenuate brain injuries after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CIR). However, few reports have addressed the therapeutic efficacies of a recombinant adenovirus vector containing HIF-1α (AdHIF-1α) gene after ischemia and reperfusion. The aim of this study was to examine the antiapoptotic and neuroprotective effects of AdHIF-1α gene for cerebral injuries after ischemia and reperfusion in rats.Methods:From February to December 2016, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal, sham, CIR, AdHIF-1α, and recombinant adenovirus (Ad) groups. Middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established by Longa's method and reperfusion resumed at 2 h postocclusion. AdHIF-1α solution, Ad solution, and phosphate-buffered saline were injected into the right lateral ventricle of rats in AdHIF-1α, Ad, and CIR groups. Brain tissue sections were observed under fluorescent microscope to confirm the definite expression of recombinant adenovirus in Ad and AdHIF-1α groups. The expressions of HIF-1α protein were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining at 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h postreperfusion. Brain water content and neurological deficit scores were evaluated at 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h postreperfusion. Pathological brain injuries were examined after hematoxylin and eosin stain and nerve cell apoptosis was measured after terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) stain at 72 h postreperfusion. Comparisons were conducted with one-way analysis of variance by post hoc Scheffe's test among different experimental groups.Results:Green fluorescent protein was successfully expressed in brain tissue of Ad and AdHIF-1α groups from 24 h to 21 days postinjection. As detected by immunohistochemical staining, the expressions of HIF-1α protein were obviously enhanced in AdHIF-1α group than those in CIR and Ad groups at 24 h and 72 h postreperfusion, respectively. There were significant reductions of brain water content (78.83% ± 0.34% vs. 83.21% ± 0.50% and 83.35% ± 0.32%; 84.13% ± 0.24% vs. 89.76% ± 0.34% and 89.70% ± 0.18%; respectively; all P < 0.05) and neurological deficit scores (2.90 ± 0.74 vs. 3.50 ± 0.52 and 3.60 ± 0.53 at 24 h; 2.40 ± 0.84 vs. 3.60 ± 0.52 and 3.50 ± 0.53 at 72 h; respectively; all P < 0.05) in AdHIF-1α group versus CIR and Ad groups at 24 h and 72 h postreperfusion, respectively. The pathologic changes of AdHIF-1α group were milder than those in CIR and Ad groups at 72 h postreperfusion. The percentage of TUNEL-positive cells in cerebral subcortex decreased significantly in AdHIF-1α group versus CIR and Ad groups at 72 h postreperfusion (P < 0.05).Conclusion:AdHIF-1α has an obvious neuroprotective effect on ischemia and reperfusion in rat brains possibly through inhibiting the apoptosis of nerve cells.

“…Phosphorylation of residue Ser-473 is required for Akt activity [15]. It has been shown that Akt phosphorylation at Ser-473 and Thr-308 has an obvious relationship with brain ischemia and plays an important neuroprotective role [16]. The proline-rich Akt substrate of 40 kDa (PRAS40) protein is a substrate of the protein kinase Akt and can reduce brain injury [17].…”

In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of sevoflurane against ischemic brain injury and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Transient global brain ischemia was induced by 4-vessel occlusion in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were pretreated with sevoflurane alone or sevoflurane combined with LY294002/wortmannin (selective inhibitor of PI3K) before ischemia. Cresyl violet staining was used to examine the survival of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation were performed to measure the phosphorylation of Akt1, PRAS40, ASK1, and JNK3 and the expression of cleaved-caspase-3. The results demonstrated that a moderate dose of sevoflurane inhalation of 2% for 2 h had significant neuroprotective effects against ischemia/reperfusion induced hippocampal neuron death. Sevoflurane significantly increased Akt and PRAS40 phosphorylation and decreased the phosphorylation of ASK1 at 6 h after reperfusion and the phosphorylation of JNK3 at 3 days after reperfusion following 15 min of transient global brain ischemia. Conversely, LY294002 and wortmannin significantly inhibited the effects of sevoflurane. Taken together, the results suggest that sevoflurane could suppress ischemic brain injury by downregulating the activation of the ASK1/JNK3 cascade via increasing the phosphorylation of Akt1 during ischemia/reperfusion.
