Nuclear WRAP53 Promotes Neuronal Survival and Functional Recovery After Stroke

Investigators found that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in oxygen/glucose-deprived neurons spatiotemporally correlated with the up-regulation of WRAP53 (WD40-encoding p53-antisense RNA), which translocated to the nucleus to activate the DSB repair response.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived Mitochondria Transplantation Mitigates I/R-Induced Injury, Abolishes I/R-Induced Apoptosis, and Restores Motor Function in Acute Ischemia Stroke Rat Model

Investigators report that the mitochondrial transplantation ameliorated the reperfusion/ischemia-induced damages as reflected by declined blood creatine phosphokinase level, abolished apoptosis, decreased astroglyosis and microglia activation, reduced infarct size, and improved motor function.

Preventive Triple Gene Therapy Reduces the Negative Consequences of Ischemia-Induced Brain Injury after Modelling Stroke in a Rat

Adenoviral vectors carrying genes encoding vascular endothelial growth factor, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor and neural cell adhesion molecule or gene engineered umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells overexpressing recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, and neural cell adhesion molecule were intrathecally injected before distal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in rats.

SIRT1/SIRT3 Modulates Redox Homeostasis during Ischemia/Reperfusion in the Aging Heart

The authors discuss the cellular and functional alterations upon ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) especially in aging hearts. They propose that mitochondria are the primary source of reactive oxygen species that contribute to I/R injury in aged hearts. Then, they highlight the cardiomyocyte protection of the age-related proteins Sirtuin1 and Sirtuin1 in response to I/R injury, and discuss their modulation of cardiac metabolism and the inflammatory reaction that is involved in ROS formation.
