Introduction: Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CI/R) injury is a devasting cerebrovascular disease, accompanied with ischemia stroke, cerebral infarction. Zuogui Pill (ZGP), as a Chinese traditional medicine, is proved to be effective in many diseases and cancers. Our study aimed to detect the roles of ZGP in CI/R injury.

Methods: Neural stem cells were isolated from rats and induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation and recovery. CCK-8 and flow cytometry were applied to assess the function of ZGP on cell viability and apoptosis. Rat CI/R injury models were established by the middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. The function of ZGP on CI/R injury was identified via evaluating modified neurological severity score, infarct area, and cognitive impairment.

Results: Compared to the control, the cell viability was obviously decreased in the oxygen and glucose deprivation and recovery (OGD/R) group, while the adverse influence on cells was reversed by cultured plus 10% ZGP serum. Consistently, ZGP attenuated the influence of OGD/R on cell apoptosis. More importantly, ZGP could alleviate CI/R injury of rats by reducing neurological damage and infarct area and promoting cognitive function.

Conclusion: This study provided protective roles of ZGP on cell viability and apoptosis induced by OGD/R. In addition, ZGP played protective roles on neuroinflammation and cognitive function in rats.

MicroRNA-146a-5p (miR-146a-5p) actively participates in the process of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) injury. Dysregulation of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 axis is closely associated with inflammatory response. This study aimed to investigate the potential involvement of miR-146a-5p and TRAF6/NF-κB p65 in mediating CI/R progression in vitro.

Oxidative stress is a primary contributor to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury, and the use of antioxidants represents a crucial therapeutic strategy for managing CI/R injury. This study aims to explore the antioxidant effects of benzyl ferulate on CI/R injury and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. In vivo models of CI/R injury and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in SH-SY5Y cells were established, followed by treatment with benzyl ferulate.

Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI/RI) leads to neuronal damage, with mitophagy's role in this process still debated.
  • The study hypothesized that TRIM25 enhances mitophagy through the ubiquitination of ATAD3A, aggravating CI/RI.
  • Experiments demonstrated that TRIM25 reduces ATAD3A, promoting mitophagy via the PINK1/Parkin pathway, and highlighting a complex interaction between these proteins during ischemic injury.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a disease of high death and disability worldwide with few medications in clinical treatment. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are considered as crucial factors in the progression of IS. In our previous studies, N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivative (NST) L7 exhibited promising anti-inflammatory properties and is considered a potential clinical therapy for IS but had limited antioxidant capacity.
