Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to further elucidate the mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.
Methods
In this study, we observed the apoptosis of RM cells (microglia) after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) modeling before and after Rg1 administration, changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, changes in the content of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory vesicles NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3), and the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins, inflammatory factors, and apoptosis proteins. We further examined the pathomorphological changes in brain tissue, neuronal damage, changes in mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial structure, and the autophagy-related proteins, inflammatory factors, and apoptosis proteins expression levels in CI/RI rats before and after administration of Rg1 in vivo experiments.
Results
In vitro experiments showed that Rg1 induced mitochondrial autophagy, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced ROS content thereby inhibiting NLRP3 activation, decreasing secretion of inflammatory factors and RM cell apoptosis by regulating the PTEN induced putative kinase 1(Pink1) /Parkin signaling pathway. In vivo experiments showed that Rg1 induced mitochondrial autophagy, inhibited NLRP3 activation, improved inflammatory response, and reduced apoptosis by regulating the Pink1/Parkin signaling pathway, and Rg1 significantly reduced the area of cerebral infarcts, improved the pathological state of brain tissue, and attenuated the neuronal damage, thus improving cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that ginsenoside Rg1 can ameliorate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by modulating Pink1/ Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy in microglia and inhibiting microglial NLRP3 activation.
期刊介绍：
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
