Background: Necroptosis, a newly defined regulatable necrosis with membrane disruption, has been demonstrated to participate in trauma brain injury (TBI) related neuronal cell death. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a stress protein with neuroprotective activity, but the potential protective mechanisms are not fully understood.
Methods And Results: Here, we investigated the effects of HSP70 regulators in a cellular TBI model induced by traumatic neuronal injury (TNI) and glutamate treatment. We found that necroptosis occurred in cortical neurons after TNI and glutamate treatment. Neuronal trauma markedly upregulated HSP70 protein expression within 24 h. The results of immunostaining and lactate dehydrogenase release assay showed that necroptosis following neuronal trauma was inhibited by HSP70 activator TRC051384 (TRC), but promoted by the HSP70 inhibitor 2-phenylethyenesulfonamide (PES). In congruent, the expression and phosphorylation of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) were differently regulated by HSP70. Furthermore, the expression of HSP90α induced by neuronal trauma was further promoted by PES but decreased by TRC. The data obtained from western blot showed that the phosphorylation of RIPK3 and MLKL induced by HSP70 inhibition were reduced by RIPK3 inhibitor GSK-872 and HSP90α inhibitor geldanamycin (GA). Similarly, inhibition of HSP90α with GA could partially prevented the increased necroptosis induced by PES.
Conclusions: Taken together, HSP70 activation exerted protective effects against neuronal trauma via inhibition of necroptosis. Mechanistically, the HSP90α-mediated activation of RIPK3 and MLKL is involved in these effects.

Currently there are no effective treatments for an array of neurodegenerative disorders to a large part because cell-based models fail to recapitulate disease. Here we develop a reproducible human iPSC-based model where laser axotomy causes retrograde axon degeneration leading to neuronal cell death. Time-lapse confocal imaging revealed that damage triggers an apoptotic wave of mitochondrial fission proceeding from the site of injury to the soma.

Actively avoiding danger is necessary for survival. Most research on active avoidance has focused on the behavioral and neurobiological processes when individuals learn to avoid alone, within a solitary context. Therefore, little is known about how social context affects active avoidance.

Background/aim: Circadian rhythm proteins (CRPs) play critical roles in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders. As members of CRPs, the nuclear receptors Rev-Erbα/β regulate circadian rhythm particularly by inhibiting Bmal1 protein and are involved in the neuroinflammation and cell death processes. However, their roles in the development of neuronal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) were largely unexplored, and so were investigated in the present study.

Mammalian central nervous system (CNS) axons cannot spontaneously regenerate after injury, creating an unmet need to identify molecular regulators to promote axon regeneration and reduce the lasting impact of CNS injuries. While tubulin polymerization promoting protein family member 3 (Tppp3) is known to promote axon outgrowth in amphibians, its role in mammalian axon regeneration remains unknown. Here we investigated Tppp3 in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) neuroprotection and axonal regeneration using an optic nerve crush (ONC) model in the rodent.

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
Methods: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method.
