Tauroursodeoxycholic acid prevents ER stress-induced apoptosis and improves cerebral and vascular function in mice subjected to subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    Brain research, 2020, 01-15, Volume: 1727

    Early brain injury (EBI) has been recognized as a major cause of poor clinical outcomes in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to EBI, but its impact on cerebrovascular function following SAH remains poorly defined. We tested the hypothesis that blocking ER stress by the inhibitor Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) attenuates EBI, which is associated with the rescue of cerebrovascular function defined by local cerebral blood flow and vascular permeability and ER-stress mediated-apoptosis in mouse models. We first preconditioned mice with TUDCA (500 mg/kg/d × 3 days) before SAH and evaluated them for cerebrovascular function by analyzing cerebral cortical perfusion and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability, unfolded protein response (UPR), ER stress-mediated apoptosis and neurological function after SAH. We found that SAH induced a rapidly reduction in cerebral blood flow and an elevated level of ER stress, which lasted for 24 h. The level of neurological deficits was closely associated with the reduction of cerebral blood flow and excessive ER stress. TUDCA improved cerebral blood flow, reduced BBB permeability, inhibited the ER stress through the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP signaling pathway, blocked the Caspase-12-dependent ER-stress mediated apoptosis, resulting in significantly improved neurological function of mice subjected to SAH. These data suggest that blocking ER stress prevents EBI and improves the outcome of mice subjected to experimental SAH. These beneficial effects are associated with the restoration of SAH-associated cerebrovascular dysfunction and reduction of the ER-stress induced apoptosis, but additional signaling pathways of ER stress may also be involved.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid attenuates neuronal apoptosis via the TGR5/ SIRT3 pathway after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats.
    Biological research, 2020, Dec-01, Volume: 53, Issue:1

    Neuronal apoptosis plays a critical event in the pathogenesis of early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study investigated the roles of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in attenuate neuronal apoptosis and underlying mechanisms after SAH.. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to model of SAH and TUDCA was administered via the internal carotid injection. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) for TGR5 were administered through intracerebroventricular injection 48 h before SAH. Neurological scores, brain water content, Western blot, TUNEL staining and immunofluorescence staining were evaluated.. TUDCA alleviated brain water content and improved neurological scores at 24 h and 72 h after SAH. TUDCA administration prevented the reduction of SIRT3 and BCL-2 expressions, as well as the increase of BAX and cleaved caspase-3.Endogenous TGR5 expression were upregulated after SAH and treatment with TGR5 siRNA exacerbated neurological outcomes after SAH and the protective effects of TUDCA at 24 h after SAH were also abolished by TGR5 siRNA.. Our findings demonstrate that TUDCA could attenuated neuronal apoptosis and improve neurological functions through TGR5/ SIRT3 signaling pathway after SAH. TUDCA may be an attractive candidate for anti-apoptosis treatment in SAH.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress is associated with neuroprotection against apoptosis via autophagy activation in a rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    Neuroscience letters, 2014, Mar-20, Volume: 563

    Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress might play an important role in a range of neurological diseases; however, this phenomenon's role in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unclear. In this study, we explored the potential role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in early brain injury following SAH.84 rats were used for an endovascular perforation-induced subarachnoid hemorrhage model. The rats were intraperitoneally pretreated with the ER stress inducer tunicamycin (Tm) or with the inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) before SAH onset. An intracerebral ventricular infusion of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) was also used to determine the relation between autophagy and ER stress in early brain injury following SAH. At 24h, rats were neurologically evaluated, and their brains were extracted for molecular biological and histological studies. ER stress was activated in rats after 24h of SAH. Enhanced ER stress via Tm pretreatment significantly improved neurological deficits, attenuated the expression of pro-apoptotic molecules of caspase-3 and reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells. In contrast, the ER stress inhibitor TUDCA aggravated neurological deficits and apoptotic cell death. Western blot analysis revealed that levels of the autophagic protein Beclin 1 and the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I were both increased by Tm infusion and reduced by TUDCA administration. The suppression of autophagic activity with 3-MA attenuated Tm-induced anti-apoptotic effects. Our study indicates that ER stress alleviates early brain injury following SAH via inhibiting apoptosis. This neuroprotective effect is most likely exerted by autophagy activation.
