The secondary injury caused by RBC autolysis after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can be reduced by increasing the efficiency of microglia (MG)/macrophages (Mø) phagocytizing red blood cells (RBCs). CD47 is an important regulator of MG/Mø phagocytosis. This study aims to clarify whether anti-CD47 antibody administrated into the cisterna magna after ICH can transfer to the hematoma site, promote MG/Mø gathering to phagocytize RBCs and ultimately reduce cell death.

Forty male Wistar rats were divided into sham, ICH, low-dosage (group A, 0.3 μg), medium-dosage (group B, 0.9 μg) and high-dosage (group C, 1.8 μg) anti-CD47 antibody groups. For the rats in group A, B and C, anti-CD47 antibody solution was administrated into the cisterna magna at 10 min after ICH. Brain tissue was harvested 3 days after the operation. TAK-243 ic50 Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect the CD68 expression. TUNEL was performed to detect the cell death.

The hMG/Møs to gather around the hematoma, and reduce cell death in perihematomal brain tissue. The results of this study has provided a basic theory for improving the efficiency of MG/Mø phagocytizing RBCs and hematoma clearance after ICH by administrating anti-CD47 antibody via the cisterna magna.
The results suggested that anti-CD47 antibody administration into the cisterna magna in proper dosage (0.9 μg) can effectively reach the hematoma, induce more MG/Møs to gather around the hematoma, and reduce cell death in perihematomal brain tissue. The results of this study has provided a basic theory for improving the efficiency of MG/Mø phagocytizing RBCs and hematoma clearance after ICH by administrating anti-CD47 antibody via the cisterna magna.Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are a multigene superfamily of constitutively expressed and inducible enzymes responsible for the detoxification of many endogenous and exogenous compounds and for the metabolism of numerous medications. The cytochrome P450 2F2 (CYP2F2) subfamily is preferentially expressed in the respiratory tract, but its functional role in adipocytes has never been explored. We found that CYP2F2 was highly expressed during the differentiation of the C3H10T1/2 murine mesenchymal stem cells to adipocytes and here we have explored its functional role in adipocytes. The expression of thermogenic marker proteins such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), PR domain containing 16 (PRDM16), and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and beige-fat specific genes were significantly increased in Cyp2f2-deficient 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Moreover, Cyp2f2 silencing led to reduced adipogenesis and lipogenesis, and enhanced lipid catabolism through the increased expression of lipolytic and fatty acid oxidative enzymes. A mechanistic study to identify molecular signals for CYP2F2-mediated negative regulation in the browning of white adipocytes revealed that CYP2F2 impairs the beta-3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) activation as well as its downstream regulators including protein kinase A (PKA), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), and activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2). This data provides evidence that CYP2F2 is a negative regulator of lipid catabolism and browning in white adipocytes, suggesting that inhibitors of CYP2F2 could be potential drugs for the treatment of obesity with a focus on enhancing energy expenditure.Kynurenine Pathway (KP) is the dominant metabolic route of tryptophan which is catalyzed by indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). This pathway is upregulated in liver disease where the level of KP metabolites correlates with the severity of disease. Cirrhosis is associated with cardiac dysfunction, which manifests itself during severe physiological challenges such as liver transplantation. Cardiac dysfunction in cirrhosis is linked to systemic inflammation and impaired cardiac beta-adrenergic signaling pathways. The KP pathway is involved in modulation of cardiac signaling and is upregulated by systemic inflammation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of IDO inhibition on development of cardiac dysfunction in an experimental model of cirrhosis. Cirrhosis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL). Experimental groups were given either 1-methyl tryptophan (1-MT, 1, 3, 9 mg/kg), or saline. 28 days after BDL, cardiac chronotropic response to epinephrine was assessed ex vivo. HPLC was employed to measure hepatic and cardiac levels of tryptophan, kynurenine and kynurenic acid. Cirrhosis in rats was associated with impaired cardiac chronotropic responsiveness to adrenergic stimulation. 1-MT dose-dependently improved cirrhosis-induced chronotropic dysfunction as well as elevated serum levels of CRP and IL-6 in BDL rats. Hepatic and cardiac kynurenine/tryptophan ratio were elevated in cirrhotic rats and were reduced following 1-MT administration. Chronic administration of 1-MT could also reduce hepatic inflammation, fibrosis and ductular proliferation. 1-MT attenuates cardiac dysfunction in rats with biliary cirrhosis. This protective effect is not limited to the cardiac function as liver histopathologic changes were also improved following chronic 1-MT administration.Nonviral liver disease is a global public health problem due to its high mortality and morbidity. However, its underlying mechanism is unclear. Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death that is involved in a variety of disease processes. Both abnormal iron metabolism (e.g., iron overload) and lipid peroxidation, which is induced by deletion of glutathione (GSH) or glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and the accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phospholipids (PUFA-PLs) trigger ferroptosis. Recently, ferroptosis has been involved in the pathological process of nonviral liver diseases [including alcohol-related liver disease (ALD); nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); hereditary hemochromatosis (HH); drug-, ischemia/reperfusion- or immune-induced liver injury; liver fibrosis; and liver cancer]. Hepatocyte ferroptosis is activated in ALD; NAFLD; HH; drug-, ischemia/reperfusion- or immune-induced liver injury; and liver fibrosis, whereas hepatic stellate cell and liver cancer cell ferroptosis are inhibited in liver fibrosis and liver cancer, respectively.
