Dual regulation of Atf3 and Lonp1 as therapeutic targets in cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) leads to cognitive dysfunction, neuronal death, and inflammation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying CIRI is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the roles of activating transcription factor 3 (Atf3) and lon protease homolog 1 (Lonp1) in CIRI, particularly focusing on how Atf3 regulates Lonp1 expression and its effects on mitochondrial function.

Methods

Single-cell transcriptomics and proteomic analyses were employed to explore Atf3's influence on Lonp1 and its subsequent impact on neuronal survival and apoptosis.

Results

The findings indicate that Atf3 plays a crucial role in modulating Lonp1 expression, which in turn affects mitoc
