Hypochlorous acid derived from microglial myeloperoxidase could mediate high-mobility group box 1 release from neurons to amplify brain damage in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) plays critical role in the pathology of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury via producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and inducing oxidative modification of proteins. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) oxidation, particularly disulfide HMGB1 formation, facilitates the secretion and release of HMGB1 and activates neuroinflammation, aggravating cerebral I/R injury. However, the cellular sources of MPO/HOCl in ischemic brain injury are unclear yet. Whether HOCl could promote HMGB1 secretion and release remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the roles of microglia-derived MPO/HOCl in mediating HMGB1 translocation and secretion, and aggravating the brain damage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in cerebral I/R injury. In vitro, under the co-culture conditions with microglia BV cells but not the single culture conditions, oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) significantly increased MPO/HOCl expression in PC12 cells. After the cells were exposed to OGD/R, MPO-containing exosomes derived from BV2 cells were released and transferred to PC12 cells, increasing MPO/HOCl in the PC12 cells. The HOCl promoted disulfide HMGB1 translocation and secretion and aggravated OGD/R-induced apoptosis. In vivo, SD rats were subjected to 2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) plus different periods of reperfusion. Increased MPO/HOCl production was observed at the reperfusion stage, accomplished with enlarged infarct volume, aggravated BBB disruption and neurological dysfunctions. Treatment of MPO inhibitor 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (4-ABAH) and HOCl scavenger taurine reversed those changes. HOCl was colocalized with cytoplasm transferred HMGB1, which was blocked by taurine in rat I/R-injured brain. We finally performed a clinical investigation and found that plasma HOCl concentration was positively correlated with infarct volume and neurological deficit scores in ischemic stroke patients. Taken together, we conclude that ischemia/hypoxia could activate microglia to release MPO-containing exosomes that transfer MPO to adjacent cells for HOCl production; Subsequently, the production of HOCl could mediate the translocation and secretion of disulfide HMGB1 that aggravates cerebral I/R injury. Furthermore, plasma HOCl level could be a novel biomarker for indexing brain damage in ischemic stroke patients.

Project description:BackgroundCerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI/R) is among the most common diseases affecting the central nervous system. Due to the poor efficacy and adverse side effects of the drugs used to treat CI/R in clinical trials, a new treatment strategy is urgently needed. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether miR-103a-3p alleviates CI/R in vivo and vitro and to explore the relevant mechanisms.MethodsBV2 microglial cells underwent oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) treatment to imitate the pathophysiology of CI/R in vitro. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model was established to imitate the pathophysiology of CI/R in vivo. The expression levels of miR-103a-3p and HMGB1 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot. Flow cytometry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Nissl staining were used to evaluated apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and histopathology, respectively.ResultsOGD-stimulated BV2 microglial cells and brain tissues with CI/R had low expression of miR-103a-3p but high expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). As expected, miR-103a-3p and HMGB1 had a targeting relationship. Overexpression of HMGB1 enhanced the the levels of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA), but reduced the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), IL-4, and IL-10, in vitro. Moreover, high expression of HMGB1 aggravated the brain injury of the model rats, and increased the secretion of inflammatory factors, exacerbated oxidative stress, and further induced tissue apoptosis in the brain tissue. Importantly, these effects of HMGB1 overexpression were partly reversed by miR-103a-3p overexpression on HMGB1 interference.ConclusionsHMGB1 is targeted by miR-103a-3p, which may be a new strategy in the treatment of CI/R.

Project description:BackgroundThe integrity of brain function is at stake due to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), which encompasses mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy, and neuroinflammation. The role of E2F1 in mediating these processes in microglia during CIRI remains unclear.MethodsA CIRI mouse model was utilized for single-cell RNA transcriptome sequencing of brain tissues. The research comprised diverse gene expression, gene ontology (GO), and the enrichment of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Experimental techniques included oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD/R) cell models, RT-qPCR, Western Blot, ChIP assays, and microglia-neuron co-cultures.ResultsA significant aspect highlighted in the study was the involvement of CDK5 in the induction of mitochondrial abnormalities associated with CIRI. Upregulation of E2F1 and CDK5 in post-CIRI microglia was observed. E2F1 facilitated CDK5 transcription, leading to DRP1 phosphorylation, exacerbating neurotoxic effects. Silencing E2F1 improved neurobehavioral outcomes in CIRI mice.ConclusionsActivation of E2F1-mediated CDK5 drives mitochondrial division while inhibiting mitophagy in microglia, triggering inflammation, neuronal apoptosis, and exacerbating CIRI damage. Targeting this pathway could offer novel therapeutic strategies for mitigating CIRI-induced brain injury.Key pointsIdentification of the E2F1/CDK5/DRP1 Axis in CIRI This study reveals that the E2F1 transcription factor upregulates CDK5 expression, which in turn phosphorylates DRP1, promoting excessive mitochondrial fission and inhibiting mitophagy in microglia. This mechanism plays a critical role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation The activation of DRP1 leads to mitochondrial fragmentation and excessive ROS accumulation, triggering microglial activation and inflammatory responses, exacerbating neuronal apoptosis and brain injury in CIRI. Therapeutic Potential of E2F1 Silencing Knockdown of E2F1 in microglia effectively reduces mitochondrial damage, restores mitophagy, suppresses inflammation, and improves neurological outcomes in a CIRI mouse model, highlighting a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke intervention.
