Melatonin attenuates gray and white matter damage in a mouse model of transient focal cerebral ischemia 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have previously shown that melatonin reduces infarct volumes and enhances neurobehavioral and electrophysiological recoveries following transient middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in rats. In the study, we examined whether melatonin would display neuroprotection against neuronal, axonal and oligodendrocyte pathology after 24 hr of reperfusion following 1 hr of MCA occlusion in mice. Melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle was given intraperitoneally at the commencement of reperfusion. Neurological deficits were assessed 24 hr after ischemia. Gray matter damage was evaluated by quantitative histopathology. Axonal damage was determined with amyloid precursor protein and microtubule-associated protein tau-1 immunohistochemistry to identify postischemic disrupted axonal flow and oligodendrocyte pathology, respectively. Oxidative damage was assessed by 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) immunohistochemistry. Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals not only had a significantly reduced volume of gray matter infarction by 42% (P<0.001), but also exhibited a decreased score of axonal damage by 42% (P<0.001) and a reduction in the volume of oligodendrocyte pathology by 58% (P<0.005). Melatonin-treated animals also had significantly reduced immunopositive reactions for 8-OHdG and 4-HNE by 53% (P<0.001) and 49% (P<0.001), respectively. In addition, melatonin improved sensory and motor neurobehavioral outcomes by 47 and 30%, respectively (P<0.01). Thus, delayed (1 hr) treatment with melatonin reduced both gray and white matter damage and improved neurobehavioral outcomes following transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice. The finding of reduced oxidative damage observed with melatonin suggests that its major mechanisms of action are mediated through its antioxidant and radical scavenging activity. 相似文献

Delayed treatment with melatonin enhances electrophysiological recovery following transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Melatonin has been reported to reduce infarct volumes induced by transient middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. We examined whether melatonin could improve electrophysiological and neurobehavioral recoveries in rats after 72 hr of reperfusion following 1.5 hr of MCA occlusion. Melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle was given intravenously at the commencement of reperfusion. Neurobehavioral outcome was serially examined, and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) were recorded prior to ischemia and at 72 hr after the onset of reperfusion. Brain infarction was assessed upon killing. Before ischemia-reperfusion, stable SSEP waveforms were consistently recorded after individual fore- or hindpaw stimulation. The amplitude between the first positive (P1) and the first negative (N1) peaks and the P1 latency did not differ significantly between controls and melatonin-treated animals. At 72 hr of reperfusion, controls had severely depressant SSEPs recorded from ischemic fore- and hindpaw cortical fields, and the amplitudes decreased to 36 and 35% of baselines, respectively (P < 0.001). These animals also had transcallosal electrophysiological diaschisis in the SSEPs recorded at the contralateral hindpaw cortical field (P < 0.01). Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals not only had significantly improved amplitudes of the SSEPs recorded from both ischemic fore- and hindpaw cortical fields, by 33 and 37% of baselines, respectively (P < 0.001), but also exhibited diminished transcallosal electrophysiological diaschisis following ischemia-reperfusion. In addition, melatonin improved sensory and motor neurobehavioral outcomes by 40 and 28%, respectively (P < 0.001), and reduced cortical and striatal infarct sizes by 32 and 40%, respectively (P < 0.05). Thus, delayed intravenous administration with melatonin both enhances electrophysiological and neurobehavioral recoveries and reduces cortical and striatal infarct sizes after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. 相似文献

We have previously shown that exogenous melatonin improves the preservation of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and neurovascular unit following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Recent evidence indicates that postischemic microglial activation exaggerates the damage to the BBB. Herein, we explored whether melatonin mitigates the cellular inflammatory response after transient focal cerebral ischemia for 90 min in rats. Melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle was given intravenously at reperfusion onset. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometric analysis were used to evaluate the cellular inflammatory response at 48 hr after reperfusion. Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals did not have significantly changed systemic cellular inflammatory responses in the bloodstream (P > 0.05). Melatonin, however, significantly decreased the cellular inflammatory response by 41% (P < 0.001) in the ischemic hemisphere. Specifically, melatonin effectively decreased the extent of neutrophil emigration (Ly6G-positive/CD45-positive) and macrophage/activated microglial infiltration (CD11b-positive/CD45-positive) by 51% (P < 0.01) and 66% (P < 0.01), respectively, but did not significantly alter the population composition of T lymphocyte (CD3-positive/CD45-positive; P > 0.05). This melatonin-mediated decrease in the cellular inflammatory response was accompanied by both reduced brain infarction and improved neurobehavioral outcome by 43% (P < 0.001) and 50% (P < 0.001), respectively. Thus, intravenous administration of melatonin upon reperfusion effectively decreased the emigration of circulatory neutrophils and macrophages/monocytes into the injured brain and inhibited focal microglial activation following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. The finding demonstrates melatonin's inhibitory ability against the cellular inflammatory response after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and further supports its pleuripotent neuroprotective actions suited either as a monotherapy or an add-on to the thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke patients. 相似文献

We have recently shown that melatonin decreases the late (24 hr) increase in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and the risk of tissue plasminogen activator-induced hemorrhagic transformation following ischemic stroke in mice. In the study, we further explored whether melatonin would reduce postischemic neurovascular oxidative/nitrosative damage and, therefore, improve preservation of the early increase in the BBB permeability at 4 hr after transient focal cerebral ischemia for 60 min in mice. Melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle was given intraperitoneally at the beginning of reperfusion. Hydroethidine (HEt) in situ detection and immunohistochemistry for nitrotyrosine were used to evaluate postischemic accumulation in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, respectively, in the ischemic neurovascular unit. BBB permeability was evaluated by spectrophotometric and microscopic quantitation of Evans Blue leakage. Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals not only had a significantly reduced superoxide accumulation in neurovascular units in boundary zones of infarction, by reducing 35% and 54% cytosolic oxidized HEt in intensity and cell-expressing percentage, respectively (P < 0.001), but also exhibited a reduction in nitrotyrosine by 52% (P < 0.01). Additionally, melatonin-treated animals had significantly reduced early postischemic disruption in the BBB permeability by 53% (P < 0.001). Thus, melatonin reduced postischemic oxidative/nitrosative damage to the ischemic neurovascular units and improved the preservation of BBB permeability at an early phase following transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice. The findings further highlight the ability of melatonin in anatomical and functional preservation for the ischemic neurovascular units and its relevant potential in the treatment of ischemic stroke. 相似文献

Melatonin protects against transient middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and may be suited as an add-on therapy of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis. Herein, we examined whether melatonin would reduce postischemic increase in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and, therefore, attenuate the risk of hemorrhagic transformation after t-PA therapy in experimental stroke. Twelve mice were subjected to transient occlusion of the MCA for 1 hr, followed by 24 hr of reperfusion. Melatonin (5 mg/kg, i.p.) or vehicle was given at the beginning of reperfusion. BBB permeability was evaluated by quantitation of Evans Blue leakage. An additional 32 mice underwent photothrombotic occlusion of the distal MCA, and were administered vehicle or t-PA (10 mg/kg, i.v.), alone or in combination with melatonin (5 mg/kg, i.p.), at 6 hr postinsult. The animals were then killed after 24 hr for the determination of infarct and hemorrhage volumes. Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals had significantly reduced BBB permeability (by 52%; P < 0.001). Additionally, we found that at 6 hr after photo-irradiation, either t-PA or melatonin, or a combined administration of t-PA plus melatonin, did not significantly affect brain infarction (P > 0.05), compared with controls. Mice treated with t-PA alone, however, had significantly increased hemorrhagic formation (P < 0.05), and the event was effectively reversed by co-treatment with melatonin (P < 0.05). Thus, melatonin improved postischemic preservation of the BBB permeability and a decreased risk of adverse hemorrhagic transformation after t-PA therapy for ischemic stroke. The findings further highlight melatonin's potential role in the field of thrombolytic treatment for ischemic stroke patients. 相似文献

Abstract: Synapto-dendritic dysfunction and rearrangement takes place over time at the peri-infarct brain after stroke, and the event plays an important role in post-stroke functional recovery. Here, we evaluated whether melatonin would modulate the synapto-dendritic plasticity after stroke. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle at reperfusion onset after transient occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (tMCAO) for 90 min. Local cerebral blood perfusion, somatosensory electrophysiological recordings and neurobehavioral tests were serially measured. Animals were sacrificed at 7 days after tMCAO. The brain was processed for Nissl-stained histology, Golgi–Cox-impregnated sections, or Western blotting for presynaptic proteins, synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) and synaptophysin (a calcium-binding protein found on presynaptic vesicle membranes). Relative to controls, melatonin-treated animals had significantly reduced infarction volumes (P < 0.05) and improved neurobehavioral outcomes, as accessed by sensorimotor and rota-rod motor performance tests (P < 0.05, respectively). Melatonin also significantly improved the SNAP-25, but not synaptophysin, protein expression in the ischemic brain (P < 0.05). Moreover, melatonin significantly improved the dendritic spine density and the somatosensory electrophysiological field potentials both in the ischemic brain and the contralateral homotopic intact brain (P < 0.05, respectively). Together, melatonin not only effectively attenuated the loss of presynaptic protein, SANP-25, and dendritic spine density in the ischemic territory, but also improved the reductions in the dendritic spine density in the contralateral intact brain. This synapto-dendritic plasticity may partly account for the melatonin-mediated improvements in functional and electrophysiological circuitry after stroke. 相似文献

Melatonin is synthesized and released by the pineal gland in a circadian rhythm, and many of its peripheral actions are mediated via membrane MT1 and MT2 receptors. Apart from its metabolic functions, melatonin is a potent neuroprotective molecule owing to its antioxidative actions. The roles of MT1 and MT2 in the neuroprotective effects of melatonin and cell signaling after cerebral ischemia remain unknown. With the use of MT1 and MT2 knockout (mt1/2(-/-) ) mice treated with melatonin, we evaluated brain injury, edema formation, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity, and signaling pathways, including CREB, ATF-1, p21, Jun kinase (JNK)1/2, p38 phosphorylation, resulting from ischemia/reperfusion injury. We show that the infarct volume and brain edema do not differ between mt1/2(-/-) and wild-type (WT) animals, but melatonin treatment decreases infarct volume in both groups and brain edema in WT animals after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Notably, melatonin's neuroprotective effect was even more pronounced in mt1/2(-/-) animals compared to that in WT animals. We also demonstrate that melatonin treatment decreased CREB, ATF-1, and p38 phosphorylation in both mt1/2(-/-) and WT mice, while p21 and JNK1/2 were reduced only in melatonin-treated WT animals in the ischemic hemisphere. Furthermore, melatonin treatment lowered iNOS activity only in WT animals. We provide evidence that the absence of MT1 and MT2 has no unfavorable effect on ischemic brain injury. In addition, the neuroprotective effects of melatonin appear to be mediated through a mechanism independent of its membrane receptors. The underlying mechanism(s) should be further studied using selective melatonin receptor agonists and antagonists. 相似文献

Abstract: We explored anti‐inflammatory potential of melatonin against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced inflammation in vivo and in vitro. RAW 264.7 and BV2 cells were stimulated by LPS, followed by the treatment with melatonin or vehicle at various time intervals. In a mouse model of meningitis induced by LPS, melatonin (5 mg/kg) or vehicle was intravenously injected at 30 min postinsult. The activity of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) and metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) was determined by gelatin zymography. Nuclear factor‐kappa B (NFκB) translocation and binding activity were determined by immunocytochemistry and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Our results showed that either pretreatment or cotreatment with melatonin at 50–500 μm effectively inhibited the LPS‐induced proMMP‐9 activation in the RAW 264.7 and BV2 cells, respectively (P < 0.05). This melatonin‐induced proMMP‐9 inhibition remained effective when treatment was delayed up to 2 and 6 hr postinsult for RAW 264.7 and BV2 cells, respectively (P < 0.05 for both groups). Additionally, melatonin significantly attenuated the rises of circulatory and cerebral MMP‐9 activity, respectively (P < 0.05) and reduced the loss of body weight (P < 0.05) in mice with meningitis. Moreover, melatonin (50 μm ) effectively inhibited nuclear factor‐kappa B (NFκB) translocation and binding activity in the LPS‐treated RAW 264.7 and BV2 cells, respectively (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate direct inhibitory actions of melatonin against postinflammatory NFκB translocation and MMP‐9 activation and highlight its ability to inhibit systemic and cerebral MMP‐9 activation following brain inflammation. 相似文献

The zinc‐dependent matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key enzymes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling; they play critical roles under both physiological and pathological conditions. MMP‐9 activity is linked to many pathological processes, including rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, gastric ulcer, tumor growth, and cancer metastasis. Specific inhibition of MMP‐9 activity may be a promising target for therapy for diseases characterized by dysregulated ECM turnover. Potent MMP‐9 inhibitors including an indole scaffold were recently reported in an X‐ray crystallographic study. Herein, we addressed whether melatonin, a secretory product of pineal gland, has an inhibitory effect on MMP‐9 function. Gelatin zymographic analysis showed a significant reduction in pro‐ and active MMP‐9 activity in vitro in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. In addition, a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (AGS) exhibited a reduced (~50%) MMP‐9 expression when incubated with melatonin, supporting an inhibitory effect of melatonin on MMP‐9. Atomic‐level interaction between melatonin and MMP‐9 was probed with computational chemistry tools. Melatonin docked into the active site cleft of MMP‐9 and interacted with key catalytic site residues including the three histidines that form the coordination complex with the catalytic zinc as well as proline 421 and alanine 191. We hypothesize that under physiological conditions, tight binding of melatonin in the active site might be involved in reducing the catalytic activity of MMP‐9. This finding could provide a novel approach to physical docking of biomolecules to the catalytic site of MMPs, which inhibits this protease, to arrest MMP‐9‐mediated inflammatory signals. 相似文献

Objectives: p53 mutations and high protein expression are associated with adverse prognosis in several lymphoma subtypes. Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) has also been found to correlate with poor survival in all lymphomas studied. The data concerning the clinical role of protein expression of p53 or gelatinases and their inhibitors in follicular lymphoma are rare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic and clinical implications of the immunoreactive proteins p53, MMP‐2, MMP‐9, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) and TIMP‐2 in follicular lymphoma. Methods: The material consisted of 67 patients with primarily non‐transformed follicular lymphoma. Diagnostic lymph node tissue sections of patients were stained by immunohistochemical method using specific monoclonal antibodies. Results: p53 over‐expression was detected in 8 (12%) out of 67 cases. p53 over‐expression correlated with high grade (P = 0.011), bulky tumour (P = 0.031) and forthcoming transformation (P = 0.001). It also correlated with poor overall (P = 0.001) and cause‐specific survival (P = 0.010) in multivariate analysis and had a strong inverse correlation with time to transformation (P < 0.001). MMP‐2, MMP‐9 and TIMP‐2 expression correlated with high grade. MMP‐9 positivity in centroblasts correlated with good chemotherapy response (P = 0.019), but it was not prognostic for survival. MMP‐2, TIMP‐1 or TIMP‐2 did not associate with survival, either. Conclusions: In this study, p53 over‐expression predicted both transformation to diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma and poorer overall and cause‐specific survival of patients with follicular lymphoma. Expression of gelatinases or their inhibitors did not have any significant correlations with prognosis, although MMP‐9 predicted a good response to first‐line chemotherapy. 相似文献

Abstract: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease of women and plausibly regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). However, mechanisms of alterations in MMPs during endometriosis remain unclear. Human endometriotic tissues possessing varying degrees of severity were examined for expression of MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1. In addition, endometriosis was generated in mice and endometriotic tissues were tested for MMP-9 activity. Results show significant upregulation of secreted and synthesized proMMP-9 activity with duration and severity of endometriosis. Along with upregulation of activity, the expression of proMMP-9 was found increased while TIMP-1 expression followed an inverse trend. The effect of melatonin, a major secretory product of the pineal gland, on endometriosis was examined in preventive and therapeutic models in mice. The results show that melatonin arrested lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation and downregulated proMMP-9 activity and expression in a time and dose-dependent manner while protecting and regressing peritoneal endometriosis. Moreover, the attenuated activity and expression of proMMP-9 were associated with subsequent elevation in the expression of TIMP-1. Our study reveals for the first time the role of melatonin in arresting peritoneal endometriosis in mice and a novel marker, expression ratio of proMMP-9 versus TIMP-1, was identified for assessing severity and progression of endometriosis. 相似文献

Melatonin (5-15 mg/kg) protects male animals against ischemic stroke. We explored the potential interactions and synergistic neuroprotection of melatonin and estrogen using a panel of lipid peroxidation and radical-scavenging assays, primary neuronal cultures subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Neuroprotective efficacy of melatonin was also evaluated in both reproductively active and ovariectomized female rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia. Relative to melatonin or estradiol (E2) alone, a combination of the two agents exhibited robust, synergistic antioxidant and radical-scavenging actions (P<0.05, respectively). Additionally, the two agents, when combined at large doses, showed synergistic inhibition in the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells (P<0.05, respectively). Alternatively, co-treatment with melatonin and E2 independently, but not combined, showed a U-shaped dose-responsive (hormetic) cytoprotection for neuronal cultures subjected to OGD. When combined at a dosage either positively or negatively skewed from each optimal dosage, however, co-treatment caused synergistic neuroprotection. Relative to vehicle-injected controls, melatonin given intravenously at 1-5 mg/kg, but not 0.1 or 15 mg/kg, significantly reduced brain infarction and improved neurobehavioral outcomes (P<0.05, respectively) in reproductively active female rats. In ovariectomized stroke rats, melatonin was only effective at a large dosage (15-50 mg/kg). These results demonstrate complex interactions and synergistic antioxidant, radical-scavenging, and anti-inflammatory actions between estradiol and melatonin, and highlight the potential need to rectify the melatonin's hormetic dose-response by the level of circulating estradiol in the treatment of female stroke patients. 相似文献
