Ischemia-reperfusion injury is the second most common injury of the spinal cord and has the risk of neurological dysfunction and paralysis, which can seriously affect patient quality of life. Salidroside (Sal) is an active ingredient extracted from Herba Cistanche with a variety of biological attributes such as antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and neuroprotective activities. Moreover, Sal has shown a protective effect in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the liver, heart, and brain, but its effect in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the spinal cord has not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that Sal pretreatment can significantly improve functional recovery in mice after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury and significantly inhibit the apoptosis of neurons both in vivo and in vitro. Neurons have a high metabolic rate, and consequently, mitochondria, as the main energy-supplying suborganelles, become the main injury site of spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury. Mitochondrial pathway-dependent neuronal apoptosis is increasingly confirmed by researchers; therefore, Sal’s effect on mitochondria naturally attracted our attention. By means of a range of experiments both in vivo and in vitro, we found that Sal can reduce reactive oxygen species production through antioxidant stress to reduce mitochondrial permeability and mitochondrial damage, and it can also enhance the PINK1-Parkin signaling pathway and promote mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria. In conclusion, our results show that Sal is beneficial to the protection of spinal cord neurons after ischemia-reperfusion injury, mainly by reducing apoptosis associated with the mitochondrial-dependent pathway, among which Sal’s antioxidant and autophagy-promoting properties play an important role.

Direct peritoneal resuscitation with pyruvate (Pyr-PDS) has emerged as an interesting candidate to alleviate injury in diverse organs, while the potential mechanism has yet to be fully elucidated. To explore the effect of autophagy in the spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion (SCIR) injury and the underlying mechanism, we established a model of SCIR in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, male SD rats underwent aortic occlusion for 60 min and then followed by intraperitoneally infused with 20 mL of pyruvate or normal saline for 30 min, and the spinal cords were removed for analysis after 48 h of reperfusion. The functional and morphological results showed that Pyr-PDS alleviated SCIR injury; meanwhile, the expression of autophagy-related genes and transmission electron microscopy displayed autophagy was activated by SCIR injury, and Pyr-PDS treatment could further upregulate the degree of autophagy which plays a protective part in the SCIR injury, while there is no significant difference after treatment with saline. In addition, SCIR injury inhibited expression of PHD2, which results to activate its downstream HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway to promote autophagy. In the Pyr-PDS, the results revealed PHD2 was further inhibited compared to the SCIR group, which could further activate the HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling pathway. Additionally, oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation were applied to SH-SY5Y cells to mimic anoxic conditions in vitro, and the expression of autophagy-related genes, PHD2, and its downstream HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway showed the same trend as the results in vivo. Besides, IOX2, a specific inhibitor of PHD2 was also treated to SH-SY5Y cells during reoxygenation, in which the result is as same as the pyruvate group. Then, we observed the expression of autophagy-related genes and the HIF-1α signal pathway in the process of reoxygenation; the results showed that as the reoxygenation goes, the expression of the HIF-1α signal pathway and degree of autophagy came to decrease gradually, while treated with pyruvate could maintain autophagy high and stable through keeping PHD2 at a lower level during reoxygenation, and the latter was observed downregulated during reoxygenation process from 0 to 24 hours in a time-effect way. The above results indicated that direct peritoneal resuscitation with pyruvate showed effective protection to ischemia-reperfusion of the spinal cord through activating autophagy via acting on PHD2 and its downstream HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway.

AbstractDespite N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is functionally important in various biological processes, its role and the underlying regulatory mechanism in the liver remain largely unexplored. In the present study, we showed that fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO, an m6A demethylase) was involved in mitochondrial function during hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury (HIRI). We found that the expression of m6A demethylase FTO was decreased during HIRI. In contrast, the level of m6A methylated RNA was enhanced. Adeno-associated virus-mediated liver-specific overexpression of FTO (AAV8-TBG-FTO) ameliorated the HIRI, repressed the elevated level of m6A methylated RNA, and alleviated liver oxidative stress and mitochondrial fragmentation in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) was a downstream target of FTO in the progression of HIRI. FTO contributed to the hepatic protective effect via demethylating the mRNA of Drp1 and impairing the Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation. Collectively, our findings demonstrated the functional importance of FTO-dependent hepatic m6A methylation during HIRI and provided valuable insights into the therapeutic mechanisms of FTO.

Preconditioning induces ischemic tolerance, which confers robust protection against ischemic damage. We show marked protection with polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly-IC) preconditioning in three models of murine ischemia-reperfusion injury. Poly-IC preconditioning induced protection against ischemia modeled in vitro in brain cortical cells and in vivo in models of brain ischemia and renal ischemia. Further, unlike other Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, which generally induce significant inflammatory responses, poly-IC elicits only modest systemic inflammation. Results show that poly-IC is a new powerful prophylactic treatment that offers promise as a clinical therapeutic strategy to minimize damage in patient populations at risk of ischemic injury.
