Activation of AdipoR1 with rCTRP9 Preserves BBB Integrity through the APPL1/AMPK/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway in ICH Mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) is the key factor leading to neurological impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) injury. Adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) has an important effect contributing to the integrity of BBB. As a homologue of adiponectin, recombinant C1q/TNF-related protein 9 (rCTRP9) has neuroprotective effect in cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of AdipoR1 activation with rCTRP9 on BBB integrity after ICH injury and the potential mechanisms.

Methods

177 male mice were subjected in this study. ICH was induced by injecting collagenase into the right basal ganglia. rCTRP9 was treated intranasally at 1 hour after ICH. Selective siRNA was administered prior to ICH. Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, neurobehavioral tests, and BBB permeability were evaluated.

Results

ICH increased the expression of endogenous AdipoR1 and CTRP9. Administration of rCTRP9 ameliorated neurological deficits and reduced the BBB permeability at 24 hours in ICH mice. Furthermore, rCTRP9 promoted the expression of AdipoR1, APPL1, p-AMPK, Nrf2, and tight junctional proteins. The intervention of specific siRNA of AdipoR1, APPL1, and p-AMPK reversed the protective effects of rCTRP9.

Conclusions

Activation of AdipoR1 with rCTRP9 improved neurological functions and preserved BBB integrity through the APPL1/AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway in ICH mice. Therefore, CTRP9 could serve as a promising therapeutic method to alleviate BBB injury following ICH in patients.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to examine whether adiponectin could inhibit cardiomyocyte senescence induced by D‑galactose (D‑gal), and whether it functioned via the adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1)/adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1) signaling pathway. For this purpose, the expression levels of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and APPL1 in mouse plasma and myocardial tissues were detected via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) and western blotting. An adiponectin‑overexpression plasmid was transfected into D‑gal‑treated H9c2 cells prior to the detection of AdipoR1 and APPL1 expression by RT‑qPCR. Senescence‑associated β‑galactose staining was then performed to observe cellular senescence following the transfection of small interfering RNAs (si) targeting AdipoR1 and APPL1 into D‑gal‑treated H9c2 cells overexpressing adiponectin. Commercial kits were used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the different groups. The expression levels of heme oxygenase (HO)‑1 and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were examined by western blot analysis. The results revealed that the expression levels of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and APPL1 were downregulated in aged mouse plasma, myocardial tissues and D‑gal‑treated cardiomyocytes. It was also observed that AdipoR1 and APPL1 expression levels were significantly upregulated following the overexpression of adiponectin into D‑gal‑treated cardiomyocytes. Moreover, adiponectin overexpression reduced cellular senescence induced by D‑gal and the expression of p16 and p21; these effects were reversed following transfection with si‑AdipoR1 and si‑APPL1. Adiponectin also downregulated the levels of ROS and MDA in D‑gal‑treated H9c2 cells via AdipoR1/APPL1. Additionally, the release of HO‑11/HMGB1 was affected by adiponectin via AdipoR1/APPL1, and adiponectin/AdipoR1/APPL1 suppressed ROS production via HO‑1/HMGB1. On the whole, the present study demonstrated that adiponectin played an inhibitory role in cardiomyocyte senescence via the AdioR1/APPL1 signaling pathway and inhibited the levels of oxidative stress in senescent cardiomyocytes via the HO‑1/HMGB1 signaling pathway.
