Blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) has been shown to contribute to progressive neurodegenerative disease. Recent evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a mechanistic link between acute neurotrauma and progressive tauopathy. We propose that ER stress contributes to extensive behavioral changes associated with a chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)-like phenotype. Targeting ER stress is a promising option for the treatment of neurotrauma-related neurodegeneration, which warrants investigation. Utilizing our validated and clinically relevant Sprague-Dawley blast model, we investigated a time course of mechanistic changes that occur following bTBI (50 psi) including: ER stress activation, iron-mediated toxicity, and tauopathy via Western blot and immunohistochemistry. These changes were associated with behavioral alterations measured by the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM), Forced Swim Test (FST), and Morris Water Maze (MWM). Following characterization, salubrinal, an ER stress modulator, was given at a concentration of 1mg/kg post-blast, and its mechanism of action was determined in vitro. bTBI significantly increased markers of injury in the cortex of the left hemisphere: p-PERK and p-eIF2 at 30min, p-T205 tau at 6h, and iron at 24h. bTBI animals spent more time immobile on the FST at 72h and more time in the open arm of the EPM at 7 days. Further, bTBI caused a significant learning disruption measured with MWM at 21 days post-blast, with persistent tau changes. Salubrinal successfully reduced ER stress markers in vivo and in vitro while significantly improving performance on the EPM. bTBI causes robust biochemical changes that contribute to neurodegeneration, but these changes may be targeted with ER stress modulators.
