Estrogen is neuroprotective in brain injury models, and steroid receptor cofactor 3 (SRC3) mediates estrogen signaling. We aimed to investigate whether and how SRC3 is involved in the neuroprotective effects of 17ß-estradiol (E2) in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Ovariectomized female mice were treated with E2 after autologous blood injection-induced ICH. Brain damage was assessed by neurological deficit score, brain water content, and oxidative stress levels. Blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity was evaluated by Evan's blue extravasation and claudin-5, ZO-1, and occludin levels. SRC3 expression and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were examined in ICH mice treated with E2. The effect of SRC3 on E2-mediated neuroprotection was determined by examining neurological outcomes in SRC3-deficient mice undergone ICH and E2 treatment. We found that E2 alleviated ICH-induced brain edema and neurological deficits, protected BBB integrity, and suppressed oxidative stress. E2 enhanced SRC3 expression and PI3K-/Akt signaling pathway. SRC3 deficiency abolished the protective effects of E2 on ICH-induced neurological deficits, brain edema, and BBB integrity. Our results suggest that E2 suppresses ICH-induced brain injury and SRC3 plays a critical role in E2-mediated neuroprotection.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-related disease related to abnormal folliculogenesis and is a leading cause of infertility worldwide. Inhibition of granulosa cells (GCs) proliferation and increased GCs apoptosis have been identified as the major factors in aberrant follicle maturation.Methods: USP25 and PTEN expression in GCs from women with and without PCOS was analyzed using Western blotting. A PCOS-like mouse model was constructed using USP25 knockout and wild-type mice to explore the role of USP25 in PCOS. The human granular cell line KGN was cultured for proliferation and apoptosis assays, and the effect of USP25 on PTEN was investigated after transfection with shRNA-USP25 lentivirus.Results: USP25 expression was found to be elevated in patients and mice with PCOS. With mouse model, we observed a reduction in PCOS symptoms in mice after USP25 deletion. Increased proliferation, reduced apoptosis, activation of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway and decreased PTEN expression were found in KGN cells after USP25 knockdown. Finally, we verified that USP25 could deubiquitinate PTEN in KGN cells.Conclusions: In this study, we investigated that USP25 can regulate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by deubiquitinating PTEN, thus affecting the proliferation and apoptosis of GCs and contributing to the pathogenesis of PCOS.

Background: We aimed to investigate the effect of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway on PRAS40Thr246 phosphorylation in gastric cancer cells. Methods: The study was conducted from April 2017 to January 2018 in Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China. Gastric cancer cells were divided into three groups: gastric cancer cell group, LY294002 group and MK-2206 group. Specific tests were conducted accordingly. Results: Inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation and PRAS40Thr246 phosphorylation could inhibit proliferation and invasion and promote apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, and PRAS40Thr246 phosphorylation could activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusion: The levels of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway related proteins and p-PRAS40Thr246 were significantly increased in gastric cancer cells. p-PRAS40-Thr246 was able to reflect the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, reflecting the sensitivity of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to inhibitors.
