Regulation of shifting microglia polarization from M1 (neurotoxic and proinflammatory type) to M2 (neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory type) after spinal cord injury appears to be crucial. Tryptanthrin possesses an anti-inflammatory biological function. However, its roles and the underlying molecular mechanisms in spinal cord injury remain unknown. In this study, we found that tryptanthrin inhibited microglia-derived inflammation by promoting polarization to the M2 phenotype in vitro . Tryptanthrin promoted M2 polarization through inactivating the cGAS/STING/NF-κB pathway. Additionally, we found that targeting the cGAS/STING/NF-κB pathway with tryptanthrin shifted microglia from the M1 to M2 phenotype after spinal cord injury, inhibited neuronal loss, and promoted tissue repair and functional recovery in a mouse model of spinal cord injury. Finally, using a conditional co-culture system, we found that microglia treated with tryptanthrin suppressed endoplasmic reticulum stress-related neuronal apoptosis. Taken together, these results suggest that by targeting the cGAS/STING/NF-κB axis, tryptanthrin attenuates microglia-derived neuroinflammation and promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury through shifting microglia polarization to the M2 phenotype.</p>","PeriodicalId":19113,"journal":{"name":"Neural Regeneration Research","volume":" ","pages":"3287-3301"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141590849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether targeting this pathway is beneficial to brain injury remains unclear. In this study, we showed that adeno-associated virus-delivery of the Citron homology domain of MAP4Ks effectively reduces traumatic brain injury-induced reactive gliosis, tauopathy, lesion size, and behavioral deficits. Pharmacological inhibition of MAP4Ks replicated the ameliorative effects observed with expression of the Citron homology domain. Mechanistically, the Citron homology domain acted as a dominant-negative mutant, impeding MAP4K-mediated phosphorylation of the dishevelled proteins and thereby controlling the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

{"title":"Human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles protect against ischemic stroke by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.","authors":"Jiayi Wang, Mengke Zhao, Dong Fu, Meina Wang, Chao Han, Zhongyue Lv, Liang Wang, Jing Liu","doi":"10.4103/NRR.NRR-D-23-01144","DOIUrl":"10.4103/NRR.NRR-D-23-01144","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202511000-00028/figure1/v/2024-12-20T164640Z/r/image-tiff Human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles exhibit analogous functions to their parental cells, and can thus be used as substitutes for stem cells in stem cell therapy, thereby mitigating the risks of stem cell therapy and advancing the frontiers of stem cell-derived treatments. This lays a foundation for the development of potentially potent new treatment modalities for ischemic stroke. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the efficacy and safety of human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles remain unclear, presenting challenges for clinical translation. To promote the translation of therapy based on human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles from the bench to the bedside, we conducted a comprehensive preclinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in the treatment of ischemic stroke. We found that administration of human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles to an ischemic stroke rat model reduced the volume of cerebral infarction and promoted functional recovery by alleviating neuronal apoptosis. The human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles reduced neuronal apoptosis by enhancing phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, mammalian target of rapamycin, and protein kinase B, and these effects were reversed by treatment with a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor. These findings suggest that human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles play a neuroprotective role in ischemic stroke through activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. Finally, we showed that human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles have a good in vivo safety profile. Therefore, human neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles are a promising potential agent for the treatment of ischemic stroke.</p>","PeriodicalId":19113,"journal":{"name":"Neural Regeneration Research","volume":" ","pages":"3245-3258"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142154652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detailed assessment is important to help identify high-risk infants, to help families, and to support appropriate interventions. A wide range of monitoring tools is available to assess changes over time, including urine and blood biomarkers, neurological examination, and electroencephalography. At present, magnetic resonance imaging is unique as although it is expensive and not suited to monitoring the early evolution of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy by a week of life it can provide direct insight into the anatomical changes in the brain after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and so offers strong prognostic information on the long-term outcome after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This review investigated the temporal dynamics of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy injuries, with a particular emphasis on exploring the correlation between the prognostic implications of magnetic resonance imaging scans in the first week of life and their relationship to long-term outcome prediction, particularly for infants treated with therapeutic hypothermia. A comprehensive literature search, from 2016 to 2024, identified 20 pertinent articles. This review highlights that while the optimal timing of magnetic resonance imaging scans is not clear, overall, it suggests that magnetic resonance imaging within the first week of life provides strong prognostic accuracy. Many challenges limit the timing consistency, particularly the need for intensive care and clinical monitoring. Conversely, although most reports examined the prognostic value of scans taken between 4 and 10 days after birth, there is evidence from small numbers of cases that, at times, brain injury may continue to evolve for weeks after birth. This suggests that in the future it will be important to explore a wider range of times after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy to fully understand the optimal timing for predicting long-term outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":19113,"journal":{"name":"Neural Regeneration Research","volume":" ","pages":"3144-3150"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142813801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we established a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease via intracerebroventricular injection of fibrillar amyloid-β to investigate the effect of D30 on fibrillar amyloid-β-induced neuropathology. Our results showed that D30 alleviated fibrillar amyloid-β-induced cognitive impairment, promoted fibrillar amyloid-β clearance from the hippocampus and cortex, suppressed oxidative stress, and inhibited activation of microglia and astrocytes. D30 also reversed the fibrillar amyloid-β-induced loss of dendritic spines and synaptic protein expression. Notably, we demonstrated that exogenous fibrillar amyloid-β introduced by intracerebroventricular injection greatly increased galectin-3 expression levels in the brain, and this increase was blocked by D30. Considering the role of D30 in clearing amyloid-β, inhibiting neuroinflammation, protecting synapses, and improving cognition, this study highlights the potential of galectin-3 as a promising treatment target for patients with Alzheimer's disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":19113,"journal":{"name":"Neural Regeneration Research","volume":"20 11","pages":"3330-3344"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142882348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
