Knowledge mapping of research on the mitochondrial unfolded protein response: a bibliometric and visual analysis.

Background: The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR) is a mitochondria stress response, which exerts a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial proteostasis during stress. However, there is no bibliometric analyses systematically studied this field which could comprehensively review research trends, evaluate publication performances and provide future perspectives.

Methods: Articles investigating UPR published between 1994 and 2021 were downloaded from the Core Collection of the Web of Science (WOS).

Propofol Inhibits Ferroptotic Cell Death Through the Nrf2/Gpx4 Signaling Pathway in the Mouse Model of Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Ferroptosis is characterized by excessive accumulation of iron and lipid peroxides, which are involved in ischemia, reperfusion-induced organ injury, and stroke. Propofol, an anesthetic agent, has neuroprotective effects due to its potent antioxidant, anti-ischemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the relationship between propofol and ferroptosis is still unclear.

Inhibition of the expression of rgs-3 alleviates propofol-induced decline in learning and memory in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Background: Exposure to anesthesia leads to extensive neurodegeneration and long-term cognitive deficits in the developing brain. Caenorhabditis elegans also shows persistent behavioral changes during development after exposure to anesthetics. Clinical and rodent studies have confirmed that altered expression of the regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) in the nervous system is a factor contributing to neurodegenerative and psychological diseases.

Network and Pathway-Based Integrated Analysis Identified a Novel "rs28457673-miR-15/16/195/424/497 Family-IGF1R-MAPK Signaling Pathway" Axis Associated With Post-stroke Depression.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of microRNA (miRNA) (miRSNP) are SNPs located on miRNA genes or miRNA target sites, which have been supposed to be involved in the development of central nervous system diseases by interfering with miRNA-mediated regulatory functions. However, the association of miRSNP with post-stroke depression (PSD) has not been well-investigated. In this study, we collected 54 PSD risk genes manual literature-mining and integrated PSD-related risk pathways based on multiple public databases.

Propofol Attenuates Hypoxia-Induced Inflammation in BV2 Microglia by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and NF-B/Hif-1 Signaling.

Hypoxia-induced neuroinflammation typically causes neurological damage and can occur during stroke, neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and other diseases. Propofol is widely used as an intravenous anesthetic. Studies have shown that propofol has antineuroinflammatory effect.

Reperfusion promotes mitochondrial biogenesis following focal cerebral ischemia in rats.

Background And Purpose: Reperfusion after transient cerebral ischemia causes severe damage to mitochondria; however, little is known regarding the continuous change in mitochondrial biogenesis during reperfusion. Mitochondrial biogenesis causes an increase in the individual mitochondrial mass of neurons and maintains their aerobic set-point in the face of declining function. The aim of this study was to examine mitochondrial biogenesis in the cortex during reperfusion following focal cerebral ischemia.
