Tricellulin, α-Catenin and Microfibrillar-Associated Protein 5 Exhibit Concomitantly Altered Immunosignals along with Vascular, Extracellular and Cytoskeletal Elements after Experimental Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Along with initiatives to understand the pathophysiology of stroke in detail and to identify neuroprotective targets, cell-stabilizing elements have gained increasing attention. Although cell culture experiments have indicated that tricellulin, α-catenin and microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP...

description Along with initiatives to understand the pathophysiology of stroke in detail and to identify neuroprotective targets, cell-stabilizing elements have gained increasing attention. Although cell culture experiments have indicated that tricellulin, α-catenin and microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) contribute to cellular integrity, these elements have not yet been investigated in the ischemic brain. Applying immunofluorescence labeling, this study explored tricellulin, MFAP5 and α-catenin in non-ischemic and ischemic brain areas of mice (24, 4 h of ischemia) and rats (4 h of ischemia), along with collagen IV and fibronectin as vascular and extracellular matrix constituents and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) and neurofilament light chain (NF-L) as cytoskeletal elements. Immunosignals of tricellulin and notably MFAP5 partially appeared in a fiber-like pattern, and α-catenin appeared more in a dotted pattern. Regional associations with vascular and extracellular constituents were found for tricellulin and α-catenin, particularly in ischemic areas. Due to ischemia, signals of tricellulin, MFAP5 and α-catenin decreased concomitantly with MAP2 and NF-L, whereby MFAP5 provided the most sensitive reaction. For the first time, this study demonstrated ischemia-related alterations in tricellulin, MFAP5 and α-catenin along with the vasculature, extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. Confirmatory studies are needed, also exploring their role in cellular integrity and the potential for neuroprotective approaches in stroke.
