Protective Effect of Pioglitazone on Retinal Ganglion Cells in an Experimental Mouse Model of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Ming-Hui Sun et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of pioglitazone on retinal ganglion cells after anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in diabetic and non-diabetic mice. The results showed that pioglitazone can reduce apoptosis in RGCs, microglial cell infiltration, and retinal thinning. Overall, pioglitazone is effective in protecting RGCs from damage caused by ischemic optic neuropathy.

Celastrol targeting Nedd4 reduces Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress in astrocytes after ischemic stroke

Zexuan Hong et al.

Summary: Stroke is a major cause of death, with oxidative stress playing a key role. Celastrol has strong antioxidant properties, but its effect on oxidative reactions in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of celastrol on oxidative damage during CIRI and the underlying mechanisms. The findings revealed that celastrol reduced oxidative injury in CIRI by upregulating Nrf2. Celastrol directly bound to Nedd4, releasing Nrf2 in astrocytes, thus inhibiting Nrf2 degradation and reducing astrocytic ROS production. Celastrol also rescued neurons from damage and apoptosis by inhibiting oxidative stress and astrocyte activation.

Microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation mediates diabetes-induced depression-like behavior via triggering neuroinflammation

Wen-Jun Su et al.

Summary: This study aims to elucidate the neuroimmune mechanism of diabetes-related depression. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, mainly in hippocampal microglia, mediates the development of depression-like behaviors in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Targeting the microglial inflammasome is a feasible strategy for the treatment of diabetes-related depression.

The Protective Effects of n-Butylidenephthalide on Retinal Ganglion Cells during Ischemic Injury

Yu-Yau Chou et al.

Summary: Acute ischemic symptoms in the eyes are a major cause of vision loss. This study found that n-butylidenephthalide (BP) has neuroprotective effects in a nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) rodent model. BP improved retinal ganglion cell survival rates, reduced the inflammatory response, and preserved the integrity of the myelin sheath.

Steven L. Bernstein et al.

Summary: Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common cause of sudden optic nerve (ON)-related vision loss in humans. The rodent nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy model (rNAION) provides an opportunity to study this disease, but caution should be exercised due to anatomical and genetic differences between human and rodent optic nerves, as well as variations in lesion development and treatment responses.

Saifudeen Ismael et al.

Summary: This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of verapamil in a murine model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The results showed that verapamil reduced inflammation, alleviated brain injury, and improved motor and cognitive function. These findings suggest the potential clinical application of verapamil in the treatment of ICH.

Upregulation of retinal VEGF and connexin 43 in murine nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy induced with 577 nm laser

Barbara Rangel et al.

Summary: This study investigates retinal glial changes and neuronal loss in a novel animal model of NAION, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for acute NAION. The findings suggest that glial cells and molecules such as Connexin 43 play a role in mediating cell-to-cell signaling after an ischemic insult, making them promising targets for treatment.

Oxidative Stress in Optic Neuropathies

Berta Sanz-Morello et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests that changes in the redox system may contribute to various optic neuropathies, characterized by neurodegeneration of innermost retinal neurons and their axons. Optic neuropathies are often asymptomatic until advanced stages, necessitating further investigation of oxidative stress biomarkers and optimization of study design for more valuable and comparable results. Developing therapeutic strategies targeting the redox system is essential to prevent vision loss in optic neuropathies.

Role of Oxidative Stress in Ocular Diseases Associated with Retinal Ganglion Cells Degeneration

Eugene Yu-Chuan Kang et al.

Summary: RGC degeneration is the most common neurodegenerative disorder causing irreversible blindness worldwide, with the underlying pathophysiology and mechanisms largely unknown. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been identified as principal mechanisms in RGC degeneration and other neurodegenerative disorders. Antioxidants may hold promise as a potential future therapy for ocular diseases associated with RGC degeneration.

Approaches to Potentiated Neuroprotective Treatment in the Rodent Model of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

Zara Mehrabian et al.

Summary: The study identified early inflammatory gene expression responses in the optic nerve head following rAION in a rodent model, and found that treatment with the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin PGJ(2) reduced these responses. However, the inhibitor KML29 failed to suppress PGE(2) production effectively and did not enhance RGC survival when combined with PGJ(2). Therefore, while PGJ(2) alone showed neuroprotective effects, combining it with certain prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors did not improve outcomes.
