Abstract
Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and the mechanisms of stroke onset have not been fully elucidated. The research investigated how actin remodeling functions within brain microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3 cell2) when exposed to glucose-oxygen deprivation (OGD3) circumstances. OGD exposure for 6 h in bEnd.3 cell led to increased F-actin polymerization and actin overflow into the supernatant which demonstrated a disruption of intracellular actin balance. This process is mainly mediated by the cofilin and myosin light chain (MLC4) phosphorylation. Jasplakinolide further enhanced F-actin polymerization, while Latrunculin B inhibited actin polymerization and alleviated cellular damage. In conclusion, our research has revealed the crucial role of actin overflow driven by cofilin and MLC signals in brain endothelial cell injury, providing new insights into the pathophysiology of stroke.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
