Molecular mechanisms of neuronal death in brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a common cerebrovascular disease with high disability and mortality rates worldwide. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in an aneurysm rupture in SAH are complex and can be divided into early brain injury and delayed brain injury. The initial mechanical insult results in brain tissue and vascular disruption with hemorrhages and neuronal necrosis. Following this, the secondary injury results in diffused cerebral damage in the peri-core area. However, the molecular mechanisms of neuronal death following an aneurysmal SAH are complex and currently unclear. Furthermore, multiple cell death pathways are stimulated during the pathogenesis of brain damage. Notably, particular attention should be devoted to necrosis, apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis. Thus, this review discussed the mechanism of neuronal death and its influence on brain injury after SAH.

Project description:BackgroundInnate immunity can facilitate early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Numerous studies suggest that pyroptosis could exacerbate extracellular immune responses by promoting secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a quintessential kinase that positively regulates inflammation through NF-κB and MAPK signaling cascades. However, the effects of TAK1 on neuroinflammation in EBI following SAH are largely unknown.MethodsTwo hundred and forty-six male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to the endovascular perforation model of SAH. A selective TAK1 inhibitor, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (OZ) was administered by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) injection at 30 min after SAH induction. To genetic knockdown of TAK1, small interfering RNA (siRNA) was i.c.v injected at 48 h before SAH induction. SAH grade, brain water content, BBB permeability, neurological score, western blot, real-time PCR, ELISA, transmission electron microscope, and immunofluorescence staining were performed. Long-term behavioral sequelae were evaluated by the rotarod and Morris water maze tests. Furthermore, OZ was added to the culture medium with oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) to mimic SAH in vitro. The reactive oxygen species level was detected by DCFH-DA staining. Lysosomal integrity was assessed by Lyso-Tracker Red staining and Acridine Orange staining.ResultsThe neuronal phosphorylated TAK1 expression was upregulated following SAH. Pharmacologic inhibition of TAK1 with OZ could alleviate neurological deficits, brain edema, and brain-blood barrier (BBB) disruption at 24 h after SAH. In addition, OZ administration restored long-term neurobehavioral function. Furthermore, blockade of TAK1 dampened neuronal pyroptosis by downregulating the N-terminal fragment of GSDMD (GSDMD-N) expression and IL-1β/IL-18 production. Mechanistically, both in vivo and in vitro, we demonstrated that TAK1 can induce neuronal pyroptosis through promoting nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and activating nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. TAK1 siRNA treatment mitigated SAH-induced neurobehavioral deficits and restrained phosphorylated NF-κB p65 expression and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. TAK1 blockade also ameliorated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and prevented lysosomal cathepsin B releasing into the cytoplasm.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that TAK1 modulates NLRP3-mediated neuronal pyroptosis in EBI following SAH. Inhibition of TAK1 may serve as a potential candidate to relieve neuroinflammatory responses triggered by SAH.

Project description:Background and purposeFerroptosis is a distinct form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and plays a crucial role in the early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). As a newly discovered endogenous ligand for the C-KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, meteorin-like protein (Metrnl) exerts regulatory functions in oxidative stress and protects against various diseases. However, the specific role of the Metrnl/C-KIT axis in neuronal ferroptosis during EBI following SAH remains to be elucidated.MethodsSprague Dawley rats were used to establish the SAH model through endovascular perforation. r-Metrnl was administered intranasally 1 h after SAH. Metrnl shRNA, C-KIT inhibitor ISCK03, AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin, and Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 were administered intracerebroventricularly or intraperitoneally before r-Metrnl treatment to explore the underlying mechanisms. Neurobehavioral assessments, immunofluorescence, western blot, ELISA, Fluoro-Jade C staining, transmission electron microscopy, and Nissl staining were conducted to evaluate the effects. Additionally, primary neuron culture with hemoglobin (Hb) stimulation was used for in vitro studies.ResultsPhosphorylated C-KIT and endogenous Metrnl levels were upregulated after SAH. Knockdown of Metrnl aggravated neurobehavioral deficits and neuronal ferroptosis, whereas r-Metrnl treatment showed a protective effect. Mechanistically, r-Metrnl significantly increased the protein levels of SLC7A11, GPX4, FTH, FSP1, and GSH, whereas it decreased the levels of ACSL4, 4HNE, and MDA in the ipsilateral hemisphere 24 h after SAH. Also, r-Metrnl reduced mitochondrial shrinkage, increased mitochondrial crista, and decreased membrane density. However, the beneficial effects of r-Metrnl were partially reversed by ISCK03, dorsomorphin, or ML385 treatment both in vivo and in vitro.ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that r-Metrnl reduced neuronal ferroptosis and improved neurological outcomes after SAH by modulating the C-KIT/AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
