Objectives: The metabolic pathophysiology of ischemic stroke remains poorly understood. We performed a comparative omics analysis to identify the effects of cerebral ischemia on metabolism of cerebral cortex in the rat model with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods: MCAO was induced with suture occlusion technique. After the desired period of MCAO (30, 60, 120min), the rats were sacrificed. Tissue samples from the ischemic lesion were collected. Sham operated rats were treated in the same way except MCAO. Water-soluble metabolites were extracted and measured by gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry (GC/MS). The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate statistics to explore metabolic pathways involved in ischemia. The associated metabolic enzymes were investigated with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Immunoblot analysis. Results: Metabolic profiling by GC/MS analysis showed clear separation between the ischemia and control group (Figure A, B). The decrease of fructose 6-phosphate and ribulose 5-phosphate suggested enhancement of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) during cerebral ischemia. Transcriptional profiling by microarray hybridization indicated that Toll-like receptor and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway were upregulated during cerebral ischemia. In relation to PPP, upregulation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) was observed in the MAPK signaling pathway and was confirmed through RT-PCR. Immunoblotting showed a slight increase in HSP27 protein expression and a marked increase in HSP27 phosphorylation (FigureC). Corresponding upregulation of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity and an increase in the NADPH/NAD+ ratio were also observed (Figure D, E). Conclusions: G6PD activation via ischemia-induced HSP27 phosphorylation may be part of an endogenous antioxidant neuroprotection mechanism during the earliest stages of ischemia.

Recurrent Mutations

PAT1 homolog 2 (PATL2), encoding an RNA-binding protein, is a repressor involved in the translational regulation of maternal mRNAs during oocyte maturation. Previous studies have reported mutations in PATL2 those led to female infertility with oocyte maturation arrest; however, the mechanisms by which mutations affected meiotic maturation remained unclear. Here, we identified several novel and recurrent mutations of PATL2 in patients with similar phenotype, and chose the missense mutation c.649 T>A p.Tyr217Asn in PATL2 (PATL2Y217N) as a typical to investigate the underlying mechanisms. We confirmed that this mutation disturbed oocyte maturation and observed morphological defects of large polar body, symmetrical division and abnormal spindle after microinjection of corresponding mutated mRNA. We further evaluated the effect of the PATL2Y217N mutation in 293T cells, and found this mutation decreased the ubiquitination level and degradation of PATL2. Then, abnormally increased PATL2 bound mRNAs of Mos, an upstream activator of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), to regulate its translational activity and subsequently impaired MAPK signaling pathway and oocyte meiosis. These results dissented from the previous view that PATL2 mutations reduced their expression and highlight the role of PATL2 in translational regulation of Mos and its association with MAPK signaling pathway during oocyte meiotic maturation.

Conclusion: Stroke is a complex disease caused by genetic and environmental factors, and its etiological mechanism has not been fully clarified yet, which brings great challenges to its effective prevention and treatment. MAPK signaling pathway regulates gene expression of eukaryotic cells and basic cellular processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, metabolism and apoptosis, which are considered as therapeutic targets for many diseases. Up to now, mounting evidence has shown that MAPK signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis and development of ischemic stroke. However, the upstream kinase and downstream kinase of MAPK signaling pathway are complex and the influencing factors are numerous, the exact role of MAPK signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke has not been fully elucidated. MAPK signaling molecules in different cell types in the brain respond variously after stroke injury, therefore, the present review article is committed to summarizing the pathological process of different cell types participating in stroke, discussed the mechanism of MAPK participating in stroke. We further elucidated that MAPK signaling pathway molecules can be used as therapeutic targets for stroke, thus promoting the prevention and treatment of stroke.
