P‑hydroxybenzyl alcohol ameliorates neuronal cerebral ischemia‑reperfusion injury by activating mitochondrial autophagy through SIRT1
Mitochondrial autophagy serves a key role in clearing damaged mitochondria. P-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (pHBA) can improve neuronal injury induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). However, the mechanism of pHBA improving I/R damage through the mitochondrial pathway remains unclear. A rat model of...

description | Mitochondrial autophagy serves a key role in clearing damaged mitochondria. P-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (pHBA) can improve neuronal injury induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). However, the mechanism of pHBA improving I/R damage through the mitochondrial pathway remains unclear. A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) was used in the present study. The rats were treated with sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor EX527 and pHBA for 7 days, followed by reperfusion. At 24 h after reperfusion, the infarct size was calculated and the severity of nerve damage was evaluated. Hematoxylin and eosin and Nissl staining revealed cellular changes in the ischemic penumbra. Changes in mitochondrial structure were observed using electron microscopy. Mitochondrial function was evaluated by detecting mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and ATP levels using commercially available kits. In addition, the ischemic penumbra tissues were used for immunofluorescence staining for p62 and LC3 proteins. The expression of SIRT1 and mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins, PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkin, were detected by western blotting. Finally, apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3) by western blotting. The results suggested that postoperative pHBA treatment may reduce the size of cerebral infarction and damage to the nervous system, and may improve cell damage in the ischemic penumbra of MCAO/R rats. Compared with rats in the untreated MCAO/R group, the mitochondrial structure of the pHBA-treated group was improved, the levels of MMP and ATP were increased, and the degree of opening of mPTP was decreased. Simultaneously, immunofluorescence and western blotting results showed that compared with the MCAO/R group, the number of LC3- and TUNEL-positive cells increased, the number of p62-positive cells decreased, SIRT1 and autophagy protein (PINK1, Parkin and LC3 II/I) expression levels increased and p62 expression decreased in the pHBA group. However, these improvements were blocked by treatment with EX527. In summary, results from the present study suggested that pHBA may improve neuronal injury in the ischemic penumbra of MCAO/R rats through SIRT1-activated mitochondrial autophagy and mitochondrial-mediated neuronal apoptosis. |
