Abstract:
:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is reported as a common and often fatal type of stroke accompanied with high morbidity and mortality, and it frequently results in long-lasting neurological dysfunctions. However, the pathogenesis that contributes to ICH has not been fully understood. Rnf112, also known as Znf179, is a member of the RING finger protein family. The expression of Rnf112 is abundant in the brain and is modulated during brain progression and development. The study aimed to explore the role of Rnf112 in brain injury after ICH, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results indicated that ICH led to a significant decrease in Rnf112, which was confirmed in oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb)-incubated astrocytes and microglial cells. Moreover, the Rnf112 knockout (Rnf112-/-) mice and wild type (WT) mice induced by ICH were further employed. Compared to the WT/ICH group, Rnf112-/- mice exhibited accelerated brain injury, as evidenced by the increased brain water contents and neurological deficit scores (NDS). In comparison to WT/ICH group, a remarkable up-regulation in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1β, was observed in perihematoma tissues of Rnf112-/- mice on day 3 post-ICH. The process was along with promoted glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Iba1 expression and reduced NeuN levels. Furthermore, ICH-induced increases in toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation primary response protein (MyD88) expression were exacerbated by the loss of Rnf112. The phosphorylated expression of IKKα, inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) induced by ICH in perihematoma tissues of mice was markedly enhanced in Rnf112-/- mice. Rnf112 repression-induced inflammatory response was verified in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-incubated glial cells. In contrast, over-expressing Rnf112 markedly attenuated ICH-induced brain injury by restraining inflammation via inactivating TLR-4/NF-κB pathway. In summary, our findings suggested that Rnf112 expression was highly involved in the progression of ICH, and targeting Rnf112 signaling might be a promising therapeutic strategy against ICH development.
