AbstractNeuronal apoptosis has an important role in early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). TRAF3 was reported as a promising therapeutic target for stroke management, which covered several neuronal apoptosis signaling cascades. Hence, the present study is aimed to determine whether downregulation of TRAF3 could be neuroprotective in SAH-induced EBI. An in vivo SAH model in mice was established by endovascular perforation. Meanwhile, primary cultured cortical neurons of mice treated with oxygen hemoglobin were applied to mimic SAH in vitro. Our results demonstrated that TRAF3 protein expression increased and expressed in neurons both in vivo and in vitro SAH models. TRAF3 siRNA reversed neuronal loss and improved neurological deficits in SAH mice, and reduced cell death in SAH primary neurons. Mechanistically, we found that TRAF3 directly binds to TAK1 and potentiates phosphorylation and activation of TAK1, which further enhances the activation of NF-κB and MAPKs pathways to induce neuronal apoptosis. Importantly, TRAF3 expression was elevated following SAH in human brain tissue and was mainly expressed in neurons. Taken together, our study demonstrates that TRAF3 is an upstream regulator of MAPKs and NF-κB pathways in SAH-induced EBI via its interaction with and activation of TAK1. Furthermore, the TRAF3 may serve as a novel therapeutic target in SAH-induced EBI.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage induces neuronal apoptosis which causes acute and long-term memory deficits. Ourhypothesis is that agonism of α7-acetylcholine receptors attenuates neuronal apoptosis and improves memorydeficits in SAH mice. Mice were randomly assigned into the experimental groups. One cohort was euthanizedone day after SAH to assess neuronal apoptosis and signaling pathways. A second cohort survived for 30 dayspost-SAH to test long-term memory function. Inhibitors and an α7-acetylcholine receptor knockout mouse wereused. Neurobehavioral performance was assessed on days 1-3, 5, 7, and 23-28. All outcomes were performedand all data was analyzed by a blinded investigator. The α7-acetylcholine receptor agonist prevented neuronalapoptosis and improved acute memory deficits caused by SAH via activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway in neurons.Agonism of the α7-acetylcholine receptor was beneficial in both male and female mice, although the protectionin females was significantly better than in male mice. α7-acetylcholine receptor agonism did not provide anybenefit in α7-acetylcholine receptor knockout mice subjected to SAH. Treatment with the α7-acetylcholinereceptor agonist for 3 days after SAH led to improved working memory one month after SAH suggesting thatacutely improving neuronal survival can have long-lasting benefits. The α7-acetylcholine receptor may be atherapeutic target for SAH which can promote neuronal survival acutely after SAH, but also confer long-lastingmemory benefits. The findings of this study support the α7-acetylcholine receptor as a treatment target whichmay attenuate the long-term memory deficits which SAH patients suffer from.
