Temporal Pattern and Crosstalk of Necroptosis Markers with Autophagy and Apoptosis Associated Proteins in Ischemic Hippocampus

Abstract

Necroptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death, has been recently implicated as a possible mechanism for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We herein studied time-dependent changes of necroptosis markers along with apoptosis- and autophagy-associated proteins in rat hippocampus at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after global cerebral I/R injury. Furthermore, to determine the cross talk between autophagy and necroptosis, we examined the effects of pretreatment with bafilomycin-A1 (Baf-A1), as a late-stage autophagy inhibitor, on necroptosis. Highest levels of receptor-interacting protein 1 and 3 (RIP1 and RIP3), as key mediators of necroptosis, were observed at 24 h after reperfusion. Alongside, activity of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLUD1), downstream enzyme of RIP3, was increased. Peak time of necroptosis was subsequent to caspase-3-dependent cell death that peaked at 12 h of reperfusion but concurrent with autophagy. Administration of Baf-A1 could attenuate necroptosis, verified by decrease in RIP1 and RIP3 protein levels, as well as GLUD1 activity. However, there was no significant change in caspase-3-dependent cell death. Taken together, our results highlight that global cerebral I/R activates necroptosis that could be triggered by autophagy and interacts reversely with caspase-3-dependent apoptosis.

RETRACTED: OGT-Mediated KEAP1 Glycosylation Accelerates NRF2 Degradation Leading to High Phosphate-Induced Vascular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease

“…In order to accelerate the process of aortic calcification, rats undergoing renal ablation surgery were administered with a standard high-phosphorus diet (1.2% Pi). Two weeks after 5/6 Nx, eight rats were randomly selected as the CKD group (CKD rats without other treatments), and 40 CKD rats were injected with corresponding adenoviruses of 0.3 nmol/μ autophagy activator Rapamycin (RAPA; 5 μl) or 2 nmol/μl autophagy inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1; 5 μl), or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 5 μl; Lana et al, 2017;Ryan et al, 2018) via tail vein according to the grouping as follows:…”

Adiponectin inhibits cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation‑induced apoptosis in brain by increasing autophagy involved in AdipoR1‑AMPK signaling

“…adiponectin (aPn), also known as GBP-28, apM1, adipoQ and acrp30, is a novel adipokine that maintains insulin responsiveness, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis, inhibits inflammatory response and modulates autophagy and apoptosis in different disease models (12,13). a clinical study has revealed that the level of aPn is independently associated with mortality and low plasma aPn is related to an increased risk of 5-year mortality following the first-ever ischemic stroke in humans (14).…”

Green Tea Polyphenols Modulated Cerebral SOD Expression and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Cardiac Arrest/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Rats

“…e present study expanded our previous research and investigated the potential neuroprotective mechanisms of GTPs concerning endogenous antioxidation and ER stress. e imbalance of oxidation and antioxidation is a direct reason for deficits of neurological functions and high mortality during CIRI [24,25]. GTPs possess higher antioxidant activity than vitamin E and vitamin C [26,27].…”
