Background: Isorhapontigenin (ISO) has been shown to have antioxidant activity. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant effects of ISO on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its possible molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (MCAO/R) model and primary cortical neurons were established an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD / R) injury model. After 24 hr of reperfusion, the neurological deficits of the rats were analyzed and HE staining was performed, and the infarct volume was calculated by TTC staining. In addition, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat brain tissue, the content of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and 8-hydroxy2deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were detected. Neuronal cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Western blot analysis was determined for protein expression.
Results: ISO treatment significantly improved neurological scores, reduced infarct volume, necrotic neurons, ROS production, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG levels. At the same time, ISO significantly increased the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. The neuroprotective effects of ISO can be eliminated by knocking down Nrf2 and HO-1. In addition, knockdown of the PKCε blocked ISO-induced nuclear Nfr2, HO-1 expression.
Conclusion: ISO protected against oxidative damage induced by brain I/R, and its neuroprotective mechanism may be related to the PKCε/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Purpose: Ciprofol is a novel intravenous anesthetic that has been increasingly used in clinical anesthesia and sedation. Studies suggested that ciprofol reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but whether ciprofol protects the heart against I/R injury and the mechanisms are unknown. Herein, we assessed the effects of ciprofol on ferroptosis during myocardial I/R injury.

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) can be induced under various stress conditions. This study aimed to explore the role of GDF15 in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced HT22 cells. OGD/R was employed to induce the HT22 cell model, and GDF15 expression was upregulated via transfection.

Severity and outcome of strokes following cerebral hypoperfusion are significantly influenced by stress responses of the blood vessels. In this context, brain endothelial cells (BEC) regulate inflammation, angiogenesis and the vascular resistance to rapidly restore perfusion. Despite the relevance of these responses for infarct volume and tissue recovery, their transcriptional control in BEC is not well characterized.

Introduction: The incidence of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) is complex which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Neither its prevention nor its treatment has been successful so far. Proteins that bind to DNA and belong to the C2/H2 zinc finger family are known as Krüppel-like factors (KLFs).
