RESUMO

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a main cause of diseases such as discogenic low back pain, cervical and lumbar disc herniation, degenerative spinal stenosis, and lumbar spondylolisthesis. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), an important transcription factor, regulates antioxidant genes and induces cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. In this study, the protective effect of plant antioxidant lycopene on nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) under oxidative stress was investigated. The results indicated that Nrf2 expression decreased in degenerated NPCs. We further found that lycopene was protective in NP tissue under oxidative stress and alleviated oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of degenerative human NPCs via Nrf2. The results also showed that lycopene reduced H2O2-induced decomposition of cartilage extracellular matrix in NPCs. In conclusion, our findings suggested that lycopene may alleviate disc degeneration under oxidative stress through the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

RESUMO

The current animal models of stroke primarily model a single intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) attack, and there is a lack of a reliable model of recurrent ICH. In this study, we established 16-month-old C57BL/6 male mouse models of ICH by injecting collagenase VII-S into the left striatum. Twenty-one days later, we injected collagenase VII-S into the right striatum to simulate recurrent ICH. Our results showed that mice subjected to bilateral striatal hemorrhage had poorer neurological function at the early stage of hemorrhage, delayed recovery in locomotor function, motor coordination, and movement speed, and more obvious emotional and cognitive dysfunction than mice subjected to unilateral striatal hemorrhage. These findings indicate that mouse models of bilateral striatal hemorrhage can well simulate clinically common recurrent ICH. These models should be used as a novel tool for investigating the pathogenesis and treatment targets of recurrent ICH.
