Hypoxic preconditioning stimulates angiogenesis in ischemic penumbra after acute cerebral infarction

Previous studies have demonstrated the protective effect of hypoxic preconditioning on acute cerebral infarction, but the mechanisms underlying this protection remain unclear. To investigate the protective mechanisms of hypoxic preconditioning in relation to its effects on angiogenesis, we in- duced a photochemical model of cerebral infarction in an inbred line of mice （BALB/c）. Mice were then exposed to hypoxic preconditioning 30 minutes prior to model establishment. Results showed significantly increased vascular endothelial growth factor and CD31 expression in the ischemic penumbra at 24 and 72 hours post infarction, mainly in neurons and vascular endothelial cells. Hypoxic preconditioning increased vascular endothelial growth factor and CD31 expression in the ischemic penumbra and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was positively related to that of CD31. Moreover, hypoxic preconditioning reduced the infarct volume and improved neu- rological function in mice. These findings indicate that the protective role of hypoxic preconditioning in acute cerebral infarction may possibly be due to an increase in expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and CD31 in the ischemic penumbra, which promoted angiogenesis.

Gabapentin inhibits central sensitization during migraine

Peripheral and central sensitizations are phenomena that occur during migraine. The role of gabapentin, a migraine preventive drug, on central sensitization remains unclear. In this study, a rat model of migraine was established by electrical stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion, and the animals were given intragastric gabapentin. Changes in amino acid content in the cerebrospinal fluid and protein kinase C membrane translocation in the spinal trigeminal nucleus were examined to clarify the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of gabapentin in the treatment of central sensiti- zation during migraine. Electrophysiology, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and western blot analysis results revealed that gabapentin reduces neuronal excitability in the spinal nucleus in the trigeminal nerve, decreases excitatory amino acid content and inhibits the activation of protein kinase C. This provides evidence that excitatory amino acids and protein kinase C are involved in the formation and maintenance of central sensitization during migraine. Gabapentin inhibits mi- graine by reducing excitatory amino acid content in the cerebrospinal fluid and inhibiting protein kinase C activation.

Neuroprotective mechanisms of DNA methyltransferase in a mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line after hypoxic preconditioning

Hypoxic preconditioning has been shown to improve hypoxic tolerance in mice,accompanied by the downregulation of DNA methyltransferases(DNMTs)in the brain.However,the roles played by DNMTs in the multiple neuroprotective mechanisms associated with hypoxic preconditioning remain poorly understood.This study aimed to establish an in vitro model of hypoxic preconditioning,using a cultured mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line(HT22 cells),to examine the effects of DNMTs on the endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms that occur during hypoxic preconditioning.HT22 cells were divided into a control group,which received no exposure to hypoxia,a hypoxia group,which was exposed to hypoxia once,and a hypoxic preconditioning group,which was exposed to four cycles of hypoxia.To test the ability of hypoxic preadaptation to induce hypoxic tolerance,cell viability was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5(3-carboxymethonyphenol)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay.Cell viability improved in the hypoxic preconditioning group compared with that in the hypoxia group.The effects of hypoxic preconditioning on the cell cycle and apoptosis in HT22 cells were examined by western blot assay and flow cytometry.Compared with the hypoxia group,the expression levels of caspase-3 and spectrin,which are markers of early apoptosis and S-phase arrest,respectively,noticeably reduced in the hypoxic preconditioning group.Finally,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,real-time polymerase chain reaction,and western blot assay were used to investigate the changes in DNMT expression and activity during hypoxic preconditioning.The results showed that compared with the control group,hypoxic preconditioning downregulated the expression levels of DNMT3A and DNMT3B mRNA and protein in HT22 cells and decreased the activities of total DNMTs and DNMT3B.In conclusion,hypoxic preconditioning may exert anti-hypoxic neuroprotective effects,maintaining HT22 cell viability and inhibiting cell apoptosis.These neuroprotective mechanisms may be associated with the inhibition of DNMT3A and DNMT3B.

Potassium bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline) oxovanadate suppresses proliferation of hippocampal neuronal cell lines by increasing DNA methyltransferases

Bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline) oxovanadate(BpV) can reportedly block the cell cycle. The present study examined whether BpV alters gene expression by affecting DNA methyltransferases(DNMTs), which would impact the cell cycle. Immortalized mouse hippocampal neuronal precursor cells(HT_(22)) were treated with 0.3 or 3 μM BpV. Proliferation, morphology, and viability of HT_(22) cells were detected with an IncuCyte real-time video imaging system or inverted microscope and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5(3-carboxymethonyphenol)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, respectively. mRNA and protein expression of DNMTs and p21 in HT_(22) cells was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting, respectively. In addition, DNMT activity was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Effects of BpV on the cell cycle were analyzed using flow cytometry. Results demonstrated that treatment with 0.3 μM BpV did not affect cell proliferation, morphology, or viability; however, treatment with 3 μM BpV decreased cell viability, increased expression of both DNMT3B mRNA and protein, and inhibited the proliferation of HT_(22) cells; and 3 μM BpV also blocked the cell cycle and increased expression of the regulatory factor p21 by increasing DNMT expression in mouse hippocampal neurons.

Hypoxic preconditioning in an autohypoxic animal model

Hypoxic preconditioning refers to the exposure of organisms, systems, organs, tissues or cells to moderate hypoxia/ischemia that results in increased resistance to a subsequent episode of severe hypoxia/ischemia. In this article, we review recent research based on a mouse model of repeated exposure to autohypoxia. Pre-exposure markedly increases the tolerance to or protection against hypoxic insult, and preserves the cellular structure of the brain. Furthermore, the hippocampal activity amplitude and frequency of electroencephalogram, latency of cortical somatosensory-evoked potential and spinal somatosensory-evoked potential progressively decrease, while spatial learning and memory improve. In the brain, detrimental neurochemicals such as free radicals are down-regulated, while beneficial ones such as adenosine are up-regulated. Also, antihypoxia factor（s） and gene（s） are activated. We propose that the tolerance and protective effects depend on energy conservation and plasticity triggered by exposure to hypoxia via oxygen-sensing transduction pathways and hypoxia-inducible factor-initiated cascades. A potential path for further research is the development of devices and pharma-ceuticals acting on antihypoxia factor（s） and gene（s） for the prevention and treatment of hypoxia and related syndromes.
