Objectives: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) injury is a significant hurdle in ischemic stroke treatment. Substantial evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in CI/R injury. Here, we explore the function of lncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 in CI/R injury.
Methods: Employed the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) mice model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) HT22 cell model to mimic in vivo and in vitro CI/R injury. Morris water maze test assessed mice platform-finding latency and swimming distance. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR were conducted to examine the levels of MCM3AP-AS1 and microRNA (miR)-27b-3p. Modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS) assessed neurological deficits, and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining assessed cerebral infarct volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay quantified inflammatory factor levels. Cell count kit-8 and flow cytometry detected cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Dual luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays verified targeting relationships.
Results: MAMC3AP-AS1 expression decreased in the brain tissue of MCAO/R mice and OGD/R-treated cells, while miR-27b-3p levels were rose. Upregulating MCM3AP-AS1 notably suppressed mNSS scores, reduced infarct volume, and alleviated cognitive dysfunction in MCAO/R mice; however, miR-27b-3p attenuated the function of MCM3AP-AS1. Furthermore, OGD/R treatment inhibited cell viability, increased apoptosis, and promoted inflammatory factors secretion, MCM3AP-AS1 reversed these effects, but miR-27b-3p significantly impaired this reversal. Mechanistically, MCM3AP-AS1 targeted miR-27b-3p.
Discussion: MCM3AP-AS1 exerts neuroprotection by attenuating miR-27b-3p levels, thereby mitigating CI/R injury.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) is traditionally prescribed for Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis stroke in TCM, yet its key pharmacologically active constituents and mechanistic basis remain to be fully elucidated.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the key pharmacologically active constituents of BYHWD against Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis type cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (QDBS + CI/R), and to clarify their roles in counteracting oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation, and improving energy metabolism.
Methods: A QDBS + CI/R rat model was used to assess BYHWD's therapeutic effects via neurological and syndrome scoring, histology (HE, Nissl), and biochemical markers (T-AOC, IL-1β, IL-6, ATP, ADP).

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) is a complex process that frequently results in neuronal oxidative stress and apoptosis. Dipsacoside B (DB) possesses antimicrobial and detoxifying properties and can improve mitochondrial function. Nevertheless, the potential neuroprotective effects of DB in stroke remain uncertain.

Background: We explore the effect of improving cognitive dysfunction after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) by regulating HCG27.
Methods: The MCAO and OGD/R methods were employed to establish in vivo and in vitro models of cognitive dysfunction caused by a CI/R injury. RT-qPCR was utilized to detect the relative expression of HCG27 and miR-27a-3p.

Background: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) has detrimental effects in cases of ischemic stroke. This notably triggers the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) to break. Known for its ability to provide neuroprotective benefits, rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a phenolic acid compound in the Lamiaceae family of plants.
