RESUMO

Mounting evidence has suggested that modulating microglia polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to anti-inflammatory M2 state might be a potential therapeutic approach in the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) injury. Our previous study has indicated that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) could ameliorate early brain injury (EBI) in SAH by reducing oxidative damage and neuroinflammation. However, the effects of SIRT1 on microglial polarization and the underlying molecular mechanisms after SAH have not been fully illustrated. In the present study, we first observed that EX527, a potent selective SIRT1 inhibitor, enhanced microglial M1 polarization and nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in microglia after SAH. Administration of SRT1720, an agonist of SIRT1, significantly enhanced SIRT1 expression, improved functional recovery, and ameliorated brain edema and neuronal death after SAH. Moreover, SRT1720 modulated the microglia polarization shift from the M1 phenotype and skewed toward the M2 phenotype. Additionally, SRT1720 significantly decreased acetylation of forkhead box protein O1, inhibited the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome signaling. In contrast, EX527 abated the upregulation of SIRT1 and reversed the inhibitory effects of SRT1720 on ROS-NLRP3 inflammasome activation and EBI. Similarly, in vitro, SRT1720 suppressed inflammatory response, oxidative damage, and neuronal degeneration, and improved cell viability in neurons and microglia co-culture system. These effects were associated with the suppression of ROS-NLRP3 inflammasome and stimulation of SIRT1 signaling, which could be abated by EX527. Altogether, these findings indicate that SRT1720, an SIRT1 agonist, can ameliorate EBI after SAH by shifting the microglial phenotype toward M2 via modulation of ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.

RESUMO

AIMS: Acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is closely related to tumor genesis and development in certain tissues. However, the function of ACSL4 in early brain injury (EBI) caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression patterns and role of ACSL4 in SAH and post-SAH EBI using a rat model of SAH. METHODS: The rat model of SAH was induced by autologous blood injection into the prechiasmatic cistern of rats. We also used two specific inhibitors of ferroptosis (Ferrostatin-1 and Liproxstatin-1) to investigate the role of ferroptosis in EBI. RESULTS: We found that ACSL4 levels in brain tissue increased significantly in post-SAH EBI. Inhibiting the expression of ACSL4 using small interfering RNAs alleviated inflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment, oxidative stress, brain edema, and behavioral and cognitive deficits, and increased the number of surviving neurons, after SAH. Similar effects were obtained by suppressing ferroptosis. CONCLUSIONS: ACSL4 exacerbated SAH-induced EBI by mediating ferroptosis. These findings may provide a theoretical basis for potential therapy aimed at alleviating post-SAH EBI.

RESUMO

Objective: MiRNAs are important regulators of translation and have been described as biomarkers of a number of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke. The purpose of the study was to determine expression levels of serum miR-1297 in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and to assess whether miR-1297 was the prognostic indicator of aSAH. Methods: We treated 128 aSAH patients with endovascular coiling. The World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grades, Hunt-Hess grades, and modified Fisher scores were used to assess aSAH severity. Neurologic outcome was assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 1-year post-aSAH. Serum was taken at various time points (24, 72, and 168 h, and 14 days). Serum samples from aSAH patients and healthy controls were subjected to reverse transcription (RT) quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Results: A poor outcome at 1 year was associated with significantly higher levels of miR-1297 value at the four time points, higher WFNS grade, higher Hunt-Hess grade, and higher Fisher score. Serum miR-1297 levels were significantly higher in patients, compared with healthy controls. There were significant correlations of miR-1297 concentrations in serum with severity in aSAH. The AUCs of miR-1297 at the four time points for distinguishing the aSAH patients from healthy controls were 0.80, 0.94, 0.77, and 0.59, respectively. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, only miR-1297 at 24 and 72 h enabled prediction of neurological outcome at 1 year. Conclusion: Serum was an independent predictive factor of poor outcome at 1 year following aSAH. This result supports the use of miR-1297 in aSAH to aid determination of prognosis.

RESUMO

miRNAs are important regulators of translation and have been associated with the pathogenesis of a number of cardiovascular diseases including stroke and may be possible prognostic biomarkers. The purpose of the present study was to determine the expression levels of miRNAs in the sera of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) patients and to evaluate their relationships with the severity and clinical outcome of SAH. Serum samples on day 3 after the onset of SAH were subjected to microarray analysis with Exqion miRCURYTM LNA array and quantitative PCR analysis. Serum samples from SAH patients (n=60) and healthy controls (n=10) were subjected to quantitative PCR analysis. The severities and clinical outcomes of the SAH patients were evaluated with the WFNS grade and the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Three miRNAs, miR-502-5p, miR-1297 and miR-4320 were significantly up-regulated in the sera of SAH patients when compared with the healthy controls. The serum miR-502-5p and miR-1297 levels were significantly higher in the patients with severe SAH and a poor outcome than in those with mild SAH and a good outcome (P<0.05). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs) of miR-502-5p, miR-1297 and miR-4320 to distinguish the SAH patients from the healthy controls were 0.958 (P<0.001), 0.950 (P<0.001) and 0.843 (P<0.001) respectively. Taken together, these results indicate that miR-502-5p and miR-1297 are potentially valuable indicators of the diagnosis, severity and prognosis of SAH, and miR-4320 was a potentially valuable indicator of the diagnosis of SAH.

RESUMO

MicroRNA-210 (miR-210) levels are elevated in many tumor types, are frequently associated with hypoxia induction, and are correlated with poor prognosis in many solid tumors. miR-210 regulates cell growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and apoptosis of many human tumors. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of miR-210 expression in common brain tumors, or human gliomas. Glioma samples and normal brain tissues were analyzed using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to characterize the expression patterns of miR-210. The association of miR-210 expression with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of glioma patients was statistically analyzed. Gliomas were further divided by grade: pilocytic astrocytoma (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I), diffuse astrocytomas (WHO grade II), anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III), and glioblastoma (WHO grade IV). There was a significantly higher expression level of miR-210 amongst the glioma tissues as compared with normal brain tissues (p<0.001). Increased expression of miR-210 in glioma tissues was significantly associated with advanced pathological grade (p<0.001) and low Karnofsky Performance Score (p=0.014). In addition, increased miR-210 levels were also associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates when compared to the normal control (both p<0.001), as calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses. Furthermore, subgroup analyses showed that miR-210 expression was significantly associated with poor PFS and OS of glioma patients with high pathological grades (III-IV: both p<0.001). miR-210 is highly expressed in human gliomas and confers a poor prognosis in glioma patients. These findings may bring the development of novel, tailored pharmacological therapies for glioma patients.
