Hyperglycemia has been shown to aggravate ischemic brain damage, in which the inflammatory reaction induced by hyperglycemia is involved in the worsening of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the role of microglial polarization in hyperglycemia-aggravating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury remains unknown. The present study investigated whether diabetic hyperglycemia inhibited or activated microglia, as well as microglial subtypes 1 and 2. Rats were used to establish the diabetic hyperglycemia and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. The markers CD11b, CD16, CD32, CD86, CD206, and Arg1 were used to show M1 or M2 microglia. The results revealed increased neurological deficits, infarct volume, and neural apoptosis in rats with hyperglycemia subjected to MCAO for 30 min and reperfused at 1, 3, and 7 days compared with the normoglycemic rats. Microglia and astrocyte activation and proliferation were inhibited in hyperglycemic rats. Furthermore, M1 microglia polarization was promoted, while that of M2 microglia was inhibited in hyperglycemic rats. These findings suggested that the polarization of M1 and M2 microglia is activated and inhibited, respectively, in hyperglycemic rats and may be involved in the aggravated brain damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic hyperglycemia.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), which stays unresolved in the clinic, occurs after recanalization of blood vessels serving brain tissues in acute ischemic stroke patients and can result in massive brain cell death, and cell ferroptosis contributes greatly to this process. Our research firstly found that TNFSF9 expression harbored diagnostic value on CIRI patients and intended to further investigate its regulatory mechanism in CIRI, which might facilitate its diagnostic and therapeutic application in the clinic. The level of TNSF9 mRNA was augmented in the plasma of CIR patients, and its silence impeded ferroptosis, apoptosis, and release of inflammatory mediators of BMECs with OGD/R treatment.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can increase the anomalous permeability of the blood-brain barrier and the risk of hemorrhagic conversion. Ginkgolide B (Gin B) has been recognized for its neuroprotective properties in stroke treatment. This study aimed to analyze the association of Gin B with GPX4 and FSP1 in cerebral I/R injury treatment.

Inflammation and oxidative stress are pivotal factors in the onset and progression of secondary injury following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Mogroside V (MV), a primary active compound of Siraitia grosvenorii, exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, its specific effects in cerebral ischemia remain unclear.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are among the most abundant types of non-coding RNAs in the genome and exhibit particularly high expression levels in the brain, where they play crucial roles in various neurophysiological and neuropathological processes. Although ischemic stroke is a complex multifactorial disease, the involvement of brain-derived lncRNAs in its intricate regulatory networks remains inadequately understood. In this study, we established a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in male Sprague-Dawley rats.
