Inhibiting ER Stress Weakens Neuronal Pyroptosis in a Mouse Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Model.
Molecular neurobiology(2020)
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a form of stroke, characterized by high morbidity and mortality and currently lacks specific therapy. ICH leads to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which can induce neurological impairment through crosstalk with programmed cell death (PCD). Pyroptosis, a newly discovered form of PCD, has received attention because of its close relationship with some certain diseases, such as traumatic brain injury and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. However, the relationship between ER stress and pyroptosis in ICH remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of ER stress in evoking neuronal pyroptosis and related mechanisms in a mouse ICH model. We used tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) to inhibit ER stress and observed that TUDCA reduces neuronal pyroptosis and has a neuroprotective role. We explored the potential mechanisms underlying the regulation of neuronal pyroptosis by ER stress through testing the expression of interleukin-13 (IL-13). We found that ER stress inhibition alleviates neuronal pyroptosis through decreasing the expression of IL-13 after ICH. In summary, this study revealed that IL-13 is involved in ER stress–induced neuronal pyroptosis after ICH, pointing to IL-13 as a novel therapeutic target for ICH treatment.
