ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

AIM:

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been found to attenuate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, its effects and mechanism of action have not yet been clarified. It has been reported that cerebral I/R injury is closely associated not only with ferroptosis but also with inflammation. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate whether high-frequency rTMS attenuates middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced cerebral I/R injury and further to elucidate the mediatory role of ferroptosis and inflammation.

METHODS:

The protective effects of rTMS on experimental cerebral I/R injury were investigated using transient MCAO model rats. Neurological scores and pathological changes of cerebral ischemic cortex were assessed to evaluate the effects of rTMS on cerebral I/R injury. The involvement of ferroptosis and that of inflammation were examined to investigate the mechanism underlying the effects of rTMS.

RESULTS:

High-frequency rTMS remarkably rescued the MCAO-induced neurological deficits and morphological damage. rTMS treatment also increased the mRNA and protein expression of glutathione-dependent peroxidase 4, decreased the mRNA and protein levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and transferrin receptor in the cortex. Moreover, rTMS administration reduced the cerebrospinal fluid IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α concentrations.

CONCLUSION:

These findings implicated that high-frequency rTMS alleviates MCAO-induced cerebral I/R injury, and the underlying mechanism could involve the inhibition of ferroptosis and inflammation. Our study identifies rTMS as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of cerebral I/R injury. Moreover, the mechanistic insights into ferroptosis and inflammation advance our understanding of it as a potential therapeutic target for diseases beyond cerebral ischemia stroke.
