The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal and spatial relationship between phospho-Rb (ser 795) and neuronal apoptotic
death in rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia. We found increased phosphorylation of Rb and translocation from
neuronal nucleus to cytoplasm in the penumbra zone at 12 h, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion
(MCAO)/reperfusion, compared with sham-operated controls. At 12 h and 1 day, phospho-Rb appeared to be colocalizated with
TUNEL staining in neurons, but staining was not colocalizated at 3 days and 7 days. These results demonstrated that cytoplasmic
translocation of phospho-Rb from nucleus of neurons occurs in potential apoptotic neurons in the early stages of ischemia/reperfusion,
suggesting that the Rb pathway may only be involved in early neuronal apoptosis and may be not an apoptotic signal in the
late stages of transient cerebral ischemia.

Cerebral ischemia is accompanied by fulminant cellular and humoral inflammatory changes in the brain which contribute to lesion development after stroke. A tight interplay between the brain and the peripheral immune system leads to a biphasic immune response to stroke consisting of an early activation of peripheral immune cells with massive production of proinflammatory cytokines followed by a systemic immunosuppression within days of cerebral ischemia that is characterized by massive immune cell loss in spleen and thymus. Recent work has documented the importance of T lymphocytes in the early exacerbation of ischemic injury. The lipid signaling mediator sphingosine 1-phosphate-derived stable analog FTY720 (fingolimod) acts as an immunosuppressant and induces lymphopenia by preventing the egress of lymphocytes, especially T cells, from lymph nodes. We found that treatment with FTY720 (1 mg/kg) reduced lesion size and improved neurological function after experimental stroke in mice, decreased the numbers of infiltrating neutrophils, activated microglia/macrophages in the ischemic lesion and reduced immunohistochemical features of apoptotic cell death in the lesion. 相似文献

Background
Gd-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a conventional method for non-invasive investigation of blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability in animal models. It allows the visualization of serious injury to the BBB. We developed a novel approach for detecting very small disruptions in BBB permeability induced by dietary cholesterol by using carbamoyl-PROXYL (CMP) as an MRI contrast probe.Methods
Mice were separated into two groups: normal diet (ND-mice) and high cholesterol diet (CD-mice). MRI-signal dynamics, plasma cholesterol, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9, MMP-2), and the white blood cell profile were analyzed. For the MRI analysis, two regions-of-interest (ROI) were selected: brain (ROI-1) and surrounding area (ROI-2).Results
In the ROI-2 of ND-mice, CMP- or Gd-enhanced MRI-signal followed typical kinetics with a half-life of signal decay (τ1/2) ~ 8 or ~ 15 min, respectively. In CD-mice, the MRI-signal increased continuously without decay.In the ROI-1 of ND- and CD-mice, MRI-signal enhancement was not detected by Gd-DTPA. In the ROI-1 of ND-mice, CMP-induced MRI-signal enhancement was negligible, while in CD-mice, it was significant (τ1/2 > 15 min).Hypercholesterolemia increased the plasma levels of MMP-9 and neutrophils.Conclusions
Hypercholesterolemia increases vascular permeability, which is mediated by MMP-9 and neutrophils.General significance
Even very small disruptions in brain vascular permeability could be detected by CMP-enhanced MRI but not by Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI. 相似文献14.
3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP), an irreversible inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH), induces neurodegeneration similar to that observed in Huntington’s disease (HD). Reduction of prepulse inhibition (PPI) of acoustic startle response, locomotor hypoactivity, bilateral striatal lesions as well as brain oxidative stress are major features of HD. The present study was designed to investigate neuroprotective effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) on 3-NP induced neurobehavioral changes and striatal lesions.Rats administered 3-NP (20 mg/kg, s.c.) for five consecutive days exhibited PPI deficits and locomotor hypoactivity whereas, pretreatment of animals with EGb 761 (100 mg/kg, i.p. for 15 days) ahead of and during the induction of HD by 3-NP (20 mg/kg for 5 days starting at day 8) ameliorated 3-NP-induced neurobehavioral deficits. Administration of 3-NP increased the level of striatal malondialdehyde (MDA). This effect was prevented in animals pre-treated with EGb 761. Changes in the level of apoptotic regulatory gene expressions, following 3-NP treatment, were demonstrated as both an up-regulation and a down-regulation of the expression levels of striatal Bax and Bcl-xl genes, respectively. In addition, an up-regulation of the expression level of striatal glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was also observed. Pre-treatment with EGb 761 caused a down-regulation in striatal GAPDH and Bax together with an up-regulation of striatal Bcl-xl expression level as compared to the 3-NP treated group. Histochemical examination of striatal tissue showed that EGb 761 significantly prevented 3-NP induced inhibition of SDH activity. Histopathological examination further affirmed the neuroprotective effect of EGb 761 against 3-NP toxicity.Taken together, these results suggest that EGb 761 has a neuroprotective role in the current HD paradigm, which may be related to improvement of energy metabolism, antioxidant properties and antiapoptotic effects. 相似文献

Age, sex, and gonadal hormones have profound effects on ischemic stroke outcomes, although how these factors impact basic stroke pathophysiology remains unclear. There is a plethora of inconsistent data reported throughout the literature, primarily due to differences in the species examined, the timing and methods used to evaluate injury, the models used, and confusion regarding differences in stroke incidence as seen in clinical populations vs. effects on acute neuroprotection or neurorepair in experimental stroke models. Sex and gonadal hormone exposure have considerable independent impact on stroke outcome, but these factors also interact with each other, and the contribution of each differs throughout the lifespan. The contribution of sex and hormones to experimental stroke will be the focus of this review. Recent advances and our current understanding of age, sex, and hormone interactions in ischemic stroke with a focus on inflammation will be discussed. 相似文献

Glycine is a cytoprotector to protect cells against ischemic damage by counteracting neuronal depolarization. However, whether it can directly inhibit neuronal apoptosis is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that glycine could attenuate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced cerebral infarction and improved neurological outcomes in mice. The protective effect of glycine was associated with reduction of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positive cells, deactivation of phosphor-JNK, inhibition of caspase-3 cleavage, down-regulation of FasL/Fas, and up-regulation of bcl-2 and bcl-2/bax in the mouse I/R penumbra. The beneficial effect of glycine against oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) induced injury was also confirmed in SH-SY5Y cells as well as in primary cultured neurons, which was significantly dampened by knockdown of glycine receptor α1 (GlyR α1) with siRNA transfection or by preventing glycine binding with glycine receptor using a specific antibody against glycine receptor. These results suggest that glycine antagonize cerebral I/R induced injury by inhibiting apoptosis in mice. Glycine could block both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways for which GlyR may be required. 相似文献

Microglia activation, as well as extravasation of haematogenous macrophages and neutrophils, is believed to play a pivotal role in brain injury after stroke. These myeloid cell subpopulations can display different phenotypes and functions and need to be distinguished and characterized to study their regulation and contribution to tissue damage. This protocol provides two different methodologies for brain immune cell characterization: a precise stereological approach and a flow cytometric analysis. The stereological approach is based on the optical fractionator method, which calculates the total number of cells in an area of interest (infarcted brain) estimated by a systematic random sampling. The second characterization approach provides a simple way to isolate brain leukocyte suspensions and to characterize them by flow cytometry, allowing for the characterization of microglia, infiltrated monocytes and neutrophils of the ischemic tissue. In addition, it also details a cerebral ischemia model in mice that exclusively affects brain cortex, generating highly reproducible infarcts with a low rate of mortality, and the procedure for histological brain processing to characterize infarct volume by the Cavalieri method. 相似文献
