Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is an important second messenger in virtually all animal cell types, including astrocytes. In the brain, it modulates energy metabolism, development and synaptic plasticity. Dopamine receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that affect cAMP production by adenylyl cyclases. They are divided into two subgroups, D1-like receptors linked to Gs proteins stimulating cAMP production and D2-like receptors linked to Gi/o proteins inhibiting cAMP production. In the present study, we investigated the effect of dopamine receptor activation on cAMP dynamics in astrocytes of the mouse olfactory bulb, the brain region with the largest population of dopaminergic neurons. Using the genetically encoded cAMP sensor Flamindo2 we visualized changes in the cytosolic cAMP concentration and showed that dopamine application results in a transient increase in cAMP. This cAMP increase could be mimicked by the D1-like receptor agonist A 68930 and was inhibited by the D1-like receptor antagonist SCH 23390, whereas D2-like receptor ligands had no effect on the astrocytic cAMP concentration. Thus, olfactory bulb astrocytes express D1-like receptors that are linked to cAMP production.

环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)是几乎所有动物细胞类型(包括星形胶质细胞)中的重要第二信使。在大脑中,它调节能量代谢、发育和突触可塑性。多巴胺受体是影响腺苷酸环化酶产生 cAMP 的 G 蛋白偶联受体。多巴胺受体分为两类,一类是与Gs蛋白相连的D1类受体,可刺激cAMP的产生;另一类是与Gi/o蛋白相连的D2类受体,可抑制cAMP的产生。在本研究中,我们研究了多巴胺受体激活对小鼠嗅球星形胶质细胞中 cAMP 动态变化的影响,小鼠嗅球是多巴胺能神经元数量最多的脑区。利用基因编码的 cAMP 传感器 Flamindo2,我们对细胞膜 cAMP 浓度的变化进行了可视化分析,结果表明应用多巴胺会导致 cAMP 的短暂增加。D1 样受体激动剂 A 68930 可模拟这种 cAMP 的增加,D1 样受体拮抗剂 SCH 23390 则可抑制这种增加,而 D2 样受体配体对星形胶质细胞的 cAMP 浓度没有影响。因此,嗅球星形胶质细胞表达的D1样受体与cAMP的产生有关。

Discrete components of tea possess multitude of health advantages. Escalating evidence advocate a consequential association between habitual tea consumption and a subsided risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). l-theanine is a non-protein amino acid inherent in tea plants, which exhibits structural resemblance with glutamate, the copious excitatory neurotransmitter in brain. Neuromodulatory effects of l-theanine are evident from its competency in traversing the blood brain barrier, promoting a sense of calmness beyond enervation, and enhancing cognition and attention. Despite the multifarious reports on antioxidant properties of l-theanine and its potential to regulate brain neurotransmitter levels, it is obligatory to understand its exact contribution in ameliorating the pathophysiology of PD. In this study, MPTP-induced mouse model was established and PD-like symptoms were developed in test animals where an increasing dosage of l-theanine (5, 25, 50, 100 and 250 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered for 23 days. 50 and 100 mg/kg dosage of l-theanine alleviated motor impairment and specific non-motor symptoms in Parkinsonian mice. The dosage of 100 mg/kg of l-theanine also improved striatal dopamine and serotonin level and tyrosine-hydroxylase positive cell count in the substantia nigra. Most crucial finding of the study is the proficiency of l-theanine to diminish astroglial injury as well as nitric oxide synthesis, which suggests its possible credential to prevent neurodegeneration by virtue of its anti-inflammatory attribute.

茶叶中的不同成分具有多种健康益处。越来越多的证据表明,习惯性饮茶与降低帕金森病(PD)风险之间存在着必然联系。茶氨酸(L-theanine)是茶树中固有的一种非蛋白氨基酸,与谷氨酸(大脑中大量的兴奋性神经递质)结构相似。左旋茶氨酸的神经调节作用体现在它能够穿越血脑屏障,增强镇静感,提高认知能力和注意力。尽管有关左旋茶氨酸的抗氧化特性及其调节脑神经递质水平的潜力的报道层出不穷,但我们仍有必要了解它在改善帕金森病病理生理学方面的确切贡献。本研究建立了 MPTP 诱导的小鼠模型,并在试验动物出现类似帕金森病症状的情况下,连续 23 天腹腔注射 5、25、50、100 和 250 毫克/千克剂量的左旋茶氨酸。50 和 100 毫克/千克剂量的左旋茶氨酸可减轻帕金森病小鼠的运动障碍和特定非运动症状。每公斤 100 毫克的左旋茶氨酸还能改善纹状体多巴胺和血清素水平,以及黑质中酪氨酸羟化酶阳性细胞数量。这项研究最重要的发现是,左旋茶氨酸能够减少星形胶质细胞损伤和一氧化氮合成,这表明它可能通过抗炎特性来防止神经变性。

TRPV1 acts as a unique polymodal ion channel having distinct structure and gating properties. In this context, TRPV1-R575D represents a special mutant located at the inner lipid-water-interface (LWI) region that has less possibility of interaction with membrane cholesterol. In control conditions, this lab-generated mutant of TRPV1 shows no “ligand-sensitivity”, reduced surface expression, reduced localization in the lipid rafts, yet induces high cellular lethality. Notably, the cellular lethality induced by TRPV1-R575D expression can be rescued by adding 5′I-RTX (a specific inhibitor of TRPV1) or by introducing another mutation in the next position, i.e. in TRPV1-R575D/D576R. In this work we characterized TRPV1-R575D and TRPV1-R575D/D576R mutants in different cellular conditions and compared with the TRPV1-WT. We report that the “ligand-insensitivity” of TRPV1-R575D can be rescued in certain conditions, such as by chelation of extracellular Ca2+, or by reduction of the membrane cholesterol. Here we show that Ca2+ plays an important role in the channel gating of TRPV1-WT as well as LWI mutants (TRPV1-R575D, TRPV1-R575D/D576R). However, chelation of intracellular Ca2+ or depletion of ER Ca2+ did not have a significant effect on the TRPV1-R575D. Certain properties related to channel gating of mutant TRPV1-R575D/D576R can be rescued partially or fully in a context -dependent manner. Cholesterol depletion also alters these properties. Our data suggests that lower intracellular basal Ca2+ acts as a pre-requisite for further opening of TRPV1-R575D. These findings enable better understanding of the structure-function relationship of TRPV1 and may be critical in comprehending the channelopathies induced by other homologous thermosensitive TRPVs.

TRPV1 是一种独特的多模式离子通道,具有独特的结构和门控特性。在这种情况下,TRPV1-R575D 代表了一种位于内脂水界面(LWI)区域的特殊突变体,它与膜胆固醇相互作用的可能性较小。在对照条件下,这种实验室产生的 TRPV1 突变体不显示 "配体敏感性",表面表达减少,在脂筏中的定位减少,但却诱导细胞高度致死。值得注意的是,通过添加 5'I-RTX(TRPV1 的特异性抑制剂)或在下一个位置(即 TRPV1-R575D/D576R)引入另一个突变,可以挽救 TRPV1-R575D 表达诱导的细胞致死性。在这项工作中,我们对不同细胞条件下的 TRPV1-R575D 和 TRPV1-R575D/D576R 突变体进行了表征,并与 TRPV1-WT 进行了比较。我们报告说,TRPV1-R575D 的 "配体不敏感性 "在某些条件下可以被挽救,例如通过螯合细胞外 Ca2+ 或降低膜胆固醇。在这里,我们发现 Ca2+ 在 TRPV1-WT 以及 LWI 突变体(TRPV1-R575D、TRPV1-R575D/D576R)的通道门控中起着重要作用。然而,细胞内 Ca2+ 的螯合或 ER Ca2+ 的耗竭对 TRPV1-R575D 没有显著影响。突变体 TRPV1-R575D/D576R 与通道门控有关的某些特性可以通过上下文依赖的方式得到部分或全部挽救。胆固醇耗竭也会改变这些特性。我们的数据表明,较低的细胞内基础 Ca2+ 是 TRPV1-R575D 进一步开放的先决条件。这些发现有助于更好地理解 TRPV1 的结构-功能关系,并可能对理解其他同源热敏 TRPV 诱导的通道病变至关重要。

A recent study showed that while autophagy is usually tied to protein and organelle turnover, it can also play dual roles in neurodegenerative diseases. Traditionally, autophagy was seen as protective since it removes damaged proteins and organelles. but new data suggests autophagy can sometimes promote neuron death. and This review tackles autophagy's seemingly contradictory effects in neurodegeneration, or the "autophagy paradox. " It offers a framework for understanding autophagy in neurodegenerative research and the cellular processes involved. In short, our data uncovers a harmful autophagy role in certain situations, conflicting the view that it's always beneficial. We describe the distinct, disease-specific autophagy pathways functioning in various neurodegenerative diseases. Part two concerns potential therapeutic implications of manipulating autophagy and current strategies targeting the autophagic system, suggesting interesting areas for future research into tailored modulators. This could eventually enable activating or controlling specific autophagy pathways and aid in developing more effective treatments. Researchers believe more molecular-level research is needed so patient-tailored autophagy-modulating therapeutics can be developed given this dilemma. Moreover, research must translate faster into effective neurodegenerative disease treatment options. This article aims to provide a wholly new perspective on autophagy's classically described role in these severe diseases, challenging current dogma and opening new therapeutic avenue options.

最近的一项研究表明,虽然自噬通常与蛋白质和细胞器的更替有关,但它在神经退行性疾病中也能发挥双重作用。本综述探讨了自噬在神经退行性疾病中看似矛盾的作用,即 "自噬悖论"。"它为理解神经退行性病变研究中的自噬及其所涉及的细胞过程提供了一个框架。简而言之,我们的数据揭示了自噬在某些情况下的有害作用,这与自噬总是有益的观点相矛盾。我们描述了在各种神经退行性疾病中发挥作用的不同的、针对特定疾病的自噬途径。第二部分涉及操纵自噬的潜在治疗意义和当前针对自噬系统的策略,并提出了未来研究定制调节剂的有趣领域。这最终可以激活或控制特定的自噬途径,帮助开发更有效的治疗方法。研究人员认为,鉴于这种困境,需要开展更多分子水平的研究,以便开发出适合患者的自噬调节疗法。此外,研究必须更快地转化为有效的神经退行性疾病治疗方案。本文旨在从一个全新的视角探讨自噬在这些严重疾病中的经典作用,挑战当前的教条,开辟新的治疗途径选择。

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are calcium-permeable ion-channel receptors, specifically activated by glutamate, that permit the activation of specific intracellular calcium-dependent pathways. Aberrant NMDA receptor activation leads to a condition known as excitotoxicity, in which excessive calcium inflow induces apoptotic pathways. To date, memantine is the only NMDA receptor antagonist authorized in clinical practice, hence, a better understanding of the NMDA cascade represents a need to discover novel pharmacological targets.

We previously reported non-conventional intracellular signaling triggered by which, upon activation, promotes the interaction between JNK2 and STX1A which enhances the rate of vesicular secretion. We developed a cell-permeable peptide, named JGRi1, able to disrupt such interaction, thus reducing vesicular secretion. In this work, to selectively study the effect of JGRi1 in a much simpler system, we employed neuroblastoma cells, SH-SY5Y. We found that SH-SY5Y cells express the components of the NMDA receptor-JNK2 axis and that the NMDA stimulus increases the rate of vesicle release. Both JGRi1 and memantine protected SH-SY5Y cells from NMDA toxicity, but only JGRi1 reduced the interaction between JNK2 and STX1A. Both drugs successfully reduced NMDA-induced vesicle release, although, unlike memantine, JGRi1 did not prevent calcium influx. NMDA treatment induced JNK2 expression, but not JNK1 or JNK3, which was prevented by both JGRi1 and memantine, suggesting that JNK2 may be specifically involved in the response to NMDA.

In conclusion, being JGRi1 able to protect cells against NMDA toxicity by interfering with JNK2/STX1A interaction, it could be considered a novel pharmacological tool to counteract excitotoxicity.

N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体是钙离子通道受体,专门由谷氨酸激活,允许激活特定的细胞内钙依赖途径。NMDA 受体的异常激活会导致一种被称为兴奋性中毒的病症,在这种病症中,过量的钙流入会诱导细胞凋亡途径。迄今为止,美金刚是唯一获准用于临床实践的 NMDA 受体拮抗剂,因此需要更好地了解 NMDA 级联,以发现新的药理靶点。我们以前曾报道过由其触发的非常规细胞内信号传导,这种信号传导在激活后会促进 JNK2 和 STX1A 之间的相互作用,从而提高囊泡分泌率。我们开发了一种名为 JGRi1 的细胞渗透性多肽,它能破坏这种相互作用,从而减少囊泡分泌。在这项工作中,为了在一个更简单的系统中选择性地研究 JGRi1 的作用,我们采用了神经母细胞瘤细胞 SH-SY5Y。我们发现,SH-SY5Y 细胞表达 NMDA 受体-JNK2 轴的成分,NMDA 刺激会增加囊泡的释放速度。JGRi1和美金刚都能保护SH-SY5Y细胞免受NMDA的毒性,但只有JGRi1能减少JNK2和STX1A之间的相互作用。两种药物都成功地减少了 NMDA 诱导的囊泡释放,但与美金刚不同的是,JGRi1 不能阻止钙离子流入。NMDA 处理会诱导 JNK2 的表达,但不会诱导 JNK1 或 JNK3 的表达,JGRi1 和美金刚均可阻止这种表达,这表明 JNK2 可能专门参与了对 NMDA 的反应。总之,由于 JGRi1 能够通过干扰 JNK2/STX1A 的相互作用来保护细胞免受 NMDA 的毒性,因此它可被视为一种对抗兴奋性毒性的新型药理学工具。

There is evidence that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) influences autonomic processes coordinated within the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), however, the signaling mechanisms subserving TNFα′s actions in this brain area are unclear. In non-neuronal cell types, TNFα has been shown to play an important role in canonical NADPH oxidase (NOX2)-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), molecules also known to be critically involved in hypertension. However, little is known about the role of TNFα in NOX2-dependent ROS production in the PVN within the context of hypertension. Using dual labeling immunoelectron microscopy and dihydroethidium (DHE) microfluorography, we provide structural and functional evidence for interactions between TNFα and NOX2 in the PVN. The TNFα type 1 receptor (TNFR1), the major mediator of TNFα signaling in the PVN, was commonly co-localized with the catalytic gp91phox subunit of NOX2 in postsynaptic sites of PVN neurons. Additionally, there was an increase in dual labeled dendritic profiles following fourteen-day slow-pressor angiotensin II (AngII) infusion. Using DHE microfluorography, it was also shown that TNFα application resulted in a NOX2-dependent increase in ROS in isolated PVN neurons projecting to the spinal cord. Further, TNFα-mediated ROS production was heightened after AngII infusion. The finding that TNFR1 and gp91phox are positioned for rapid interactions, particularly in PVN-spinal cord projection neurons, provides a molecular substrate by which inflammatory signaling and oxidative stress may jointly contribute to AngII hypertension.

有证据表明,肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)会影响下丘脑室旁核(PVN)内协调的自律神经过程,然而,TNFα在这一脑区发挥作用的信号机制尚不清楚。在非神经元细胞类型中,TNFα已被证明在典型的NADPH氧化酶(NOX2)介导的活性氧(ROS)产生中发挥了重要作用,众所周知,活性氧分子也与高血压密切相关。然而,人们对 TNFα 在高血压背景下 PVN 中 NOX2 依赖性 ROS 生成中的作用知之甚少。我们利用双标记免疫电子显微镜和双氢乙锭显微荧光成像技术,提供了 TNFα 和 NOX2 在视网膜神经元中相互作用的结构和功能证据。TNFα 1型受体(TNFR1)是PVN中TNFα信号传导的主要介质,它与NOX2的催化gp91phox亚基共同定位在PVN神经元突触后部位。此外,在注射血管紧张素 II(AngII)十四天后,双标记树突轮廓有所增加。使用二氢乙啶(DHE)微荧光成像技术还显示,在向脊髓投射的离体PVN神经元中,TNFα的应用导致了依赖于NOX2的ROS增加。此外,输注 AngII 后,TNFα 介导的 ROS 生成增加。TNFR1和gp91phox定位为快速相互作用,尤其是在PVN-脊髓投射神经元中,这一发现提供了一个分子底物,炎症信号传导和氧化应激可能共同导致AngII高血压。

Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease that causes morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition following ischemic stroke is common in stroke patients. During the rehabilitation, the death rates of stroke patients are significantly increased due to malnutrition. Nutritional supplements such as protein, vitamins, fish, fish oils, moderate wine or alcohol consumption, nuts, minerals, herbal products, food colorants, marine products, fiber, probiotics and Mediterranean diets have improved neurological functions in stroke patients as well as their quality of life. Platelets and their mediators contribute to the development of clots leading to stroke. Ischemic stroke patients are treated with thrombolytics, antiplatelets, and antithrombotic agents. Several systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials recommended that consumption of these nutrients and diets mitigated the vascular, peripheral, and central complications associated with ischemic stroke (Fig. 2). Particularly, these nutraceuticals mitigated the platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation that intended to reduce the risks of primary and secondary stroke. Although these nutraceuticals mitigate platelet dysfunction, there is a greater risk of bleeding if consumed excessively. Moreover, malnutrition must be evaluated and adequate amounts of nutrients must be provided to stroke patients during intensive care units and rehabilitation periods. In this review, we have summarized the importance of diet and nutraceuticals in ameliorating neurological complications and platelet dysfunction with an emphasis on primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke.

缺血性中风是一种破坏性疾病,会导致发病率和死亡率。缺血性中风后营养不良在中风患者中很常见。在康复期间,由于营养不良,脑卒中患者的死亡率明显增加。蛋白质、维生素、鱼、鱼油、适量饮用葡萄酒或酒精、坚果、矿物质、草药产品、食品着色剂、海产品、纤维素、益生菌和地中海饮食等营养补充剂可改善中风患者的神经功能及其生活质量。血小板及其介质会导致血栓形成,从而引发中风。缺血性中风患者需要接受溶栓药物、抗血小板药物和抗血栓药物治疗。一些系统综述、荟萃分析和临床试验建议,摄入这些营养素和饮食可减轻与缺血性中风相关的血管、外周和中枢并发症(图 2)。特别是,这些营养保健品可减轻血小板的粘附、活化和聚集,从而降低原发性和继发性中风的风险。虽然这些营养保健品能缓解血小板功能障碍,但如果过量食用,出血的风险也会增加。此外,在重症监护室和康复期间,必须对营养不良进行评估,并为中风患者提供充足的营养。在本综述中,我们总结了饮食和营养保健品在改善神经系统并发症和血小板功能障碍方面的重要性,重点是缺血性脑卒中的一级和二级预防。

Inflammatory response mediated by M1 microglia is a crucial factor leading to the exacerbation of brain injury after ischemic stroke (IS). Under the stimulation of IS, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) switch to the synthetic phenotype characterized by exosome secretion. Previous studies have shown that exosomes play an important role in the regulation of microglial polarization. We reported that exosomes derived from primary human brain VSMCs under hypoxia (HExos), but not those under normoxia (Exos), significantly promoted primary human microglia (HM1900) shift to M1 phenotype. Proteomic analysis showed that the Src protein enriched in HExos was a potential pro-inflammatory mediator. In vitro experiments showed that the expression of Src and M1 markers were upregulated in HM1900 co-incubated with HExos. However, the Src inhibitor dasatinib (DAS) significantly promoted the transformation of HM1900 phenotype from M1 to M2. In vivo experiments of pMCAO mice also revealed that DAS could effectively inhibit the activation of M1 microglia/macrophages, protect neurons from apoptosis, and improve neuronal function. These data suggested that hypoxic-VSMCs-derived exosomes were involved in post-IS inflammation by promoting M1 microglial polarization through Src transmission. Targeting inhibition of Src potentially acts as an effective strategy for treating brain injury after IS.

由 M1 小胶质细胞介导的炎症反应是导致缺血性中风(IS)后脑损伤加重的关键因素。在缺血性脑卒中的刺激下,血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)转为以分泌外泌体为特征的合成表型。以前的研究表明,外泌体在调节小胶质细胞极化方面发挥着重要作用。我们报告说,在缺氧(HExos)条件下,从原代人脑 VSMCs 提取的外泌体可显著促进原代人小胶质细胞(HM1900)向 M1 表型转变,而在正常缺氧(Exos)条件下则不然。蛋白质组分析表明,HExos 中富集的 Src 蛋白是一种潜在的促炎介质。体外实验表明,HM1900 与 HExos 共同孵育时,Src 和 M1 标志物的表达上调。然而,Src抑制剂达沙替尼(DAS)能显著促进HM1900表型从M1向M2转变。pMCAO小鼠的体内实验也显示,DAS能有效抑制M1小胶质细胞/巨噬细胞的活化,保护神经元免于凋亡,并改善神经元功能。这些数据表明,缺氧-VSMCs衍生的外泌体通过Src传递促进M1小胶质细胞极化,从而参与了IS后炎症。靶向抑制Src可能是治疗IS后脑损伤的有效策略。

The absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome contributes to ischemic brain injury by inducing cell pyroptosis and inflammatory responses. Our research group has previously demonstrated that ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) openers can modulate neuronal synaptic plasticity post-ischemic stroke for neuroprotection. However, the specific mechanisms of KATP channels in the inflammatory response following ischemic stroke remain unclear. Here, we assessed cellular damage by observing changes in BV-2 morphology and viability. 2,3,5-Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, mNSS scoring, Nissl staining, and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining were used to evaluate behavioral deficits, brain injury severity, and neuronal damage in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to measure cell pyroptosis and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) activation in vivo and in vitro. We observed that AIM2 protein expression was upregulated and localized within the cytoplasm of BV-2 cells. Notably, low-dose Nicorandil treatment reduced inflammatory cytokine secretion and pyroptosis-related protein expression, including AIM2, cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 (cleaved caspase-1), and Gasdermin D N-terminal (GSDMD-NT). Further investigations revealed that the KATP channel inhibitor 5-HD upregulated p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, and p-IκBα expression, reversing Nicorandil's neuroprotective effect in vivo. In summary, our results suggest that Nicorandil may serve as a potential therapeutic option for ischemic stroke. Targeting AIM2 and NF-κB represents effective strategies for inhibiting neuroinflammation.

黑色素瘤缺失 2(AIM2)炎性酶体通过诱导细胞凋亡和炎症反应造成缺血性脑损伤。我们的研究小组曾证实,ATP 敏感性钾通道(KATP 通道)开放因子可调节缺血性脑卒中后神经元突触的可塑性,从而起到神经保护作用。然而,KATP 通道在缺血性中风后炎症反应中的具体机制仍不清楚。在此,我们通过观察 BV-2 形态和活力的变化来评估细胞损伤。我们使用 TTC 染色、mNSS 评分、Nissl 染色和 TUNEL 染色来评估大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)小鼠的行为障碍、脑损伤严重程度和神经元损伤。实时荧光定量 PCR(RT-qPCR)评估了氧-葡萄糖剥夺/再灌注(OGD/R)后 AIM2 的表达,而 Western 印迹、免疫荧光和酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)则测量了急性缺血期热蛋白相关蛋白的表达、核因子卡巴 B/κBα抑制因子(NF-κB/IκBα)信号的激活和炎性细胞因子的分泌。我们观察到,OGD/R后,NF-κB核转位增加,NF-κB/IκBα炎症通路被激活。此外,AIM2 蛋白表达上调并定位在 BV-2 细胞的胞浆内。值得注意的是,低剂量尼可地尔治疗可降低热蛋白沉积相关蛋白的表达,包括AIM2、天门冬氨酸胱氨酶特异性蛋白酶裂解产物-1(caspase-1裂解产物)、Gasdermin D Full-length(GSDMD-FL)和Gasdermin D N-terminal(GSDMD-NT),从而降低BV-2细胞的孔形成破裂率。进一步研究发现,KATP 通道抑制剂 5-HD 可上调 p-NF-κB p65、NF-κB p65 和 p-IκBα 的表达,促进小胶质细胞活化、脓毒血症和炎症因子分泌,从而削弱尼可地尔在体内的神经保护作用。总之,我们的研究结果表明,开放 KATP 通道可抑制 AIM2 炎症体诱导的小胶质细胞脓毒症和 NF-κB/IκBα 信号激活,从而改善缺血后的神经功能。

Cinnamic alcohol (CA) is a phenylpropanoid found in the essential oil of the bark of the genus Cinnamomum spp. Schaeff. (Lauraceae Juss.), known as cinnamon. To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of CA and its possible mechanism of action on mice submitted to the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced epileptic seizures model. Behavioral, neurochemical, histomorphometric and immunohistochemistry analysis were carried out. The administration of CA (50–200 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min prior to PTZ and 0.7–25 mg/kg, i.p., 60 min prior to PTZ) increased the latency to seizure onset and the latency to death. The effects observed with CA treatment at 60 min were partially reversed by pretreatment with flumazenil. Furthermore, neurochemical assays indicated that CA reduced the concentration of malondialdehyde and nitrite, while increasing the concentration of reduced glutathione. Finally, histomorphometric and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed a reduction in inflammation and an increase in neuronal preservation in the hippocampi of CA pre-treated mice. Taken together, the results suggest that CA seems to modulate the GABAA receptor, decrease oxidative stress, mitigate neuroinflammation, and reduce cell death processes.

肉桂醇(CA)是肉桂属(Cinnamomum spp.(Lauraceae Juss.)树皮的精油中发现的一种苯丙酮类化合物。评估 CA 对戊烯四唑(PTZ)诱导的癫痫发作模型小鼠的神经保护作用及其可能的作用机制。研究人员对小鼠进行了行为、神经化学、组织形态学和免疫组化分析。CA(50 - 200 mg/kg, i.p., 30 minutes before PTZ and 0.7 - 25 mg/kg, i.p., 60 minutes before PTZ)能延长癫痫发作的潜伏期和死亡潜伏期。使用氟马西尼预处理可部分逆转60分钟CA处理观察到的效应。此外,神经化学分析表明,CA 降低了丙二醛和亚硝酸盐的浓度,同时增加了还原型谷胱甘肽的浓度。最后,组织形态计量学和免疫组化分析表明,CA 预处理小鼠的海马中炎症减少,神经元保存增加。综上所述,研究结果表明,CA 似乎可以调节 GABAA 受体、降低氧化应激、减轻神经炎症和减少细胞死亡过程。
