Peroxisome biogenesis deficiency attenuates the BDNF-TrkB pathway-mediated development of the cerebellum.

ABSTRACT: Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) manifest as neurological deficits in the central nervous system, including neuronal migration defects and abnormal cerebellum development. However, the mechanisms underlying pathogenesis remain enigmatic. Here, to investigate how peroxisome deficiency causes neurological defects of PBDs, we established a new PBD model mouse defective in peroxisome assembly factor Pex14p, termed Pex14 ^?C/?C mouse. Pex14 ^?C/?C mouse manifests a severe symptom such as disorganization of cortical laminar structure and dies shortly after birth, although peroxisomal biogenesis and metabolism are partially defective. The Pex14 ^?C/?C mouse also shows malformation of the cerebellum including the impaired dendritic development of Purkinje cells. Moreover, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and AKT signaling are attenuated in this mutant mouse by an elevated level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) together with the enhanced expression of TrkB-T1, a dominant-negative isoform of the BDNF receptor. Our results suggest that dysregulation of the BDNF-TrkB pathway, an essential signaling for cerebellar morphogenesis, gives rise to the pathogenesis of the cerebellum in PBDs.

Project description:The beneficial effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at Shuigou (GV26) and Neiguan (PC6) on poststroke rehabilitation are critically related to the activation of the delta-opioid receptor (DOR). The underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms in DOR activation and EA-mediated neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury were investigated in the current study. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by morphological changes, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and TUNEL staining. The mRNA levels were evaluated by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and the protein expression was measured by western blot or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in vitro. Infarct volume was examined by cresyl violet (CV) staining, neurologic recovery was assessed by neurological deficit scores, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were determined by immunofluorescence in vivo. DOR activation greatly ameliorated morphological injury, reduced LDH leakage and apoptosis, and increased cell viability. It reversed the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation- (OGD/R-) induced downregulation of DOR mRNA and protein, as well as BDNF protein. DOR activation also reduced proinflammatory cytokine gene expression, including TNF-?, IL-1?, and IL-6, and at the same time, increased anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 in OGD/R challenged PC12 cells. EA significantly reduced middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion- (MCAO/R-) induced infarct volume and attenuated neurologic deficit scores. It markedly increased the expression of IL-10 and decreased IL-1?, while sham EA did not have any protective effect in MCAO/R-injured rats. DOR activation plays an important role in neuroprotection against OGD/R injury by inhibiting inflammation via the brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin-related kinase B (BDNF/TrkB) pathway. The neuroprotective efficacy of EA at Shuigou (GV26) and Neiguan (PC6) on cerebral I/R injury may be also related to the inhibition of inflammatory response through the DOR-BDNF/TrkB pathway.
