Article Abstract
The main pathophysiology in cerebral ischemia is the structural alteration in the neurovascular unit, coinciding with neurovascular matrix degradation. Among the human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-2 and -9, known as gelatinases, are the key enzymes for degrading type IV collagen, which is the major component of the basal membrane that surrounds the cerebral blood vessel. In the present study, we investigated the effects of resveratrol on cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and gelatinases (MMP-2 and -9) in human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells exposed to 6 hours of oxygen-glucose deprivation and a subsequent 24 hours of reoxygenation with glucose (OGD/R), to mimic ischemia/reperfusion in vivo. Lactate dehydrogenase increased significantly, in comparison to that in the normoxia group. ROS was markedly increased in the OGD/R group, compared to normoxia. Correspondingly, ROS was significantly reduced with 50 μM of resveratrol. The proMMP-2 activity in the OGD/R group showed a statistically significant increase from the control cells. Resveratrol preconditioning decreased significantly the proMMP-2 in the cells exposed to OGD/R in comparison to that in the OGD/R group. Our results indicate that resveratrol regulates MMP-2 activity induced by OGD/R via its antioxidant effect, implying a possible mechanism related to the neuroprotective effect of resveratrol.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes irreversible motor deficits due to disrupted lumbar circuitry. However, transcriptional mechanisms in distal lumbar circuits are poorly understood. We identify POU6F1 as a critical transcriptional regulator in spinal lumbar segment (SLS, L3-L5) motor circuit regeneration.

Background and aim Our previous study confirmed that ASIV can protect the lung from ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to determine whether ASIV attenuates PIRI by inhibiting the activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κBp65 pathway. Experimental procedure In vitro, the protection of ASIV, TAK-242, NAC, and DEX to OGD/R-induced cell injury was compared.

This study aims to explore the effects and action mechanisms of the active ingredients in Buyang Huanwu Decoction(BYHWD), namely tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) and hydroxy-safflor yellow A(HSYA), on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reglucose-reoxygenation(OGD/R)-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of microglia(MG). Network pharmacology was used to screen the effective monomer ingredients of BYHWD and determine the safe concentration range for each component. Inflammation and oxidative stress models were established to further screen the best ingredient combination and optimal concentration ratio with the most effective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Bovis calculus sativus (BCS) is a traditional medicinal agent known for its pharmacological properties, which include heat-clearing, mental faculty revitalization, liver-cooling, and anticonvulsant effects. It is widely used application in the treatment of ischemic stroke accompanied by cognitive impairment; however, further research is necessary to clarify its effects and underlying mechanisms.
Aim Of The Study: This study examined the therapeutic potential of BCS in mitigating ischemic stroke-induced cognitive impairment induced by ischemic stroke, focusing on its mechanism of action in enhancing synaptic plasticity via the PKA/CREB/Sirt1/eIF2α signaling pathway.
