Sodium formononetin-3'-sulphonate alleviates cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats via suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sodium formononetin-3'-sulphonate (Sul-F) may alleviate I/R injury in vivo with uncertain mechanism. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis participates in the process of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our aim is to figure out the effect of Sul-F on cerebral I/R injury and to verify whether it works through suppressing ER stress-mediated apoptosis.

Results

The cerebral lesions of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in SD rats were aggravated after 24 h of reperfusion, including impaired neurological function, increased infarct volume, intensified inflammatory response and poor cell morphology. After intervention, the edaravone (EDA, 3 mg/kg) group and Sul-F high-dose (Sul-F-H, 80 mg/kg) group significantly alleviated I/R injury via decreasing neurological score, infarct volume and the serum levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), as well as alleviating pathological injury. Furthermore, the ER stress level and apoptosis rate were elevated in the ischemic penumbra of MCAO group, and were significantly blocked by EDA and Sul-F-H. In addition, EDA and Sul-F-H significantly down-regulated the ER stress related PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 and IRE1 signal pathways, which led to reduced cell apoptosis rate compared with the MCAO group. Furthermore, there was no difference between the EDA and Sul-F-H group in terms of therapeutic effect on cerebral I/R injury, indicating a therapeutic potential of Sul-F for ischemic stroke.

Conclusions

Sul-F-H can significantly protects against cerebral I/R injury through inhibiting ER stress-mediated apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra, which might be a novel therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

Project description:ObjectiveHepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) frequently occurs as a complication in liver surgeries, which significantly impacting patient outcomes. Sinensetin (SEN) is a plant-derived polymethoxylated flavone with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. However, the hepatoprotective effect of sinensetin in HIRI pathogenesis have not been fully explored.MethodsWe constructed the HIRI model in mice, with blood and liver samples collected at 6 and 24 h after reperfusion to evaluate liver injury. We also evaluated the protective effect of sinensetin in mice liver I/R injury through histopathological observation, enzyme activity, immunofluorescence, Western blot, molecular docking, and molecular pharmacology experiments.ResultsIn our study, we have successfully established the mouse HIRI injury model, and the liver function indicators such as ALT, AST and LDH were significantly increased in the HIRI model group, while SEN pretreatment could lead to a significant decrease in these enzymatic activities, especially perfusion at 6 h. In addition, hepatocytic necrosis and lipid deposition were significantly improved under SEN pretreatment conditions compared to the HIRI group alone. Meanwhile, HIRI can significantly increase the expression of genes related to liver injury and inflammation, while SEN pretreatment can lead to a concentration-dependent decrease in these genes. Besides, the level of liver apoptosis and apoptosis-related genes such as BAX and Bcl-2 were significantly reduced especially in the high concentration SEN pretreatment group, and antioxidant enzyme activities such as CAT and GSH-Px also showed similar changes. Moreover, the HIRI model and SEN pretreatment could lead to dynamic changes in key genes involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling, while the expression and distribution of GRP78 and CHOP proteins in liver cells also showed significant decrease in HIRI + L-SEN and HIRI + H-SEN groups. Molecular docking simulation showed theoretical binding between SEN-GRP78 and SEN-IRE1α in three-dimensional structures. Ultimately, the use of 4-PBA to pharmacologically inhibit ER stress may substantially reduce liver damage caused by HIRI in mice.ConclusionTaken together, our results suggested that sinensetin could alleviate HIRI injury through suppressing GRP78/CHOP-mediated ER stress, which may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for treating liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in clinical practice.

Project description:Studies have confirmed a strong association between activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, three key proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway (glucose-regulated protein 78, caspase-12, and C/EBP homologous protein) were selected to examine the potential mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the neuroprotective effect of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor. Female Sprague-Dawley rats received ovariectomy (OVX), and then cerebral I/R rat models (OVX + I/R) were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion. Immediately after I/R, rat models were injected with 100 μg/kg E2 (OVX + I/R + E2), or 100 μg/kg G protein-coupled estrogen receptor agonist G1 (OVX + I/R + G1) in the lateral ventricle. Longa scoring was used to detect neurobehavioral changes in each group. Infarct volumes were measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Morphological changes in neurons were observed by Nissl staining. Terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end-labeling staining revealed that compared with the OVX + I/R group, neurological function was remarkably improved, infarct volume was reduced, number of normal Nissl bodies was dramatically increased, and number of apoptotic neurons in the hippocampus was decreased after E2 and G1 intervention. To detect the expression and distribution of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, caspase-12 distribution and expression were detected by immunofluorescence, and mRNA and protein levels of glucose-regulated protein 78, caspase-12, and C/EBP homologous protein were determined by polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay. The results showed that compared with the OVX + I/R group, E2 and G1 treatment obviously decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of glucose-regulated protein 78, C/EBP homologous protein, and caspase-12. However, the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor antagonist G15 (OVX + I/R + E2 + G15) could eliminate the effect of E2 on cerebral I/R injury. These results confirm that E2 and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor can inhibit the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins and neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus, thereby improving dysfunction caused by cerebral I/R injury. Every experimental protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Review Board at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine, China (approval No. SHZ A2017-171) on February 27, 2017.
