摘要:

作者既往研究表明,兴奋性突触后蛋白(PSD-93)通过与CX3CL1的357-395aa氨基酸序列相互作用来介导小胶质细胞和神经元之间的串扰,并诱导小胶质细胞极化。更重要的是,干扰神经元兴奋性突触后蛋白(PSD-93)与神经元特异表达的趋化因子CX3CL1的结合的多肽Tat-CX3CL1(357-395aa)改善了急性缺血性脑卒中后的神经功能,但其潜在机制仍不清楚。此次实验首先观察了小鼠大脑中动脉阻塞再灌注不同时间点M1和M2型小胶质细胞特异性细胞因子或趋化因子的表达变化趋势,发现促炎表型M1在脑卒中后6 h增加,灌注后24 h达到峰值,而M2表型在再灌注后6h和24 h下降;融合小肽Tat-CX3CL1 (357-395aa)通过减少可溶性CX3CL1的产生,促进了小胶质细胞从M1型向M2型极化;应用整合素和金属蛋白酶结构域17抑制剂GW280264x可以通过减少可溶性CX3CL1的形成来抑制小胶质细胞从M1向M2的极化。最后,Tat-CX3CL1 (357-395aa)还可通过改善脑白质完整性,减轻脑卒中后认知功能障碍。因此,Tat-CX3CL1 (357-395aa)通过促进M1向M2的小胶质细胞极化转化,促进缺血性脑卒中后功能恢复,可能是一种潜在的缺血性脑卒中治疗药物。

Abstract: We previously reported that postsynaptic density-93 mediates neuron-microglia crosstalk by interacting with amino acids 357–395 of C‑X3‑C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) to induce microglia polarization. More importantly, the peptide Tat-CX3CL1 (comprising amino acids 357–395 of CX3CL1) disrupts the interaction between postsynaptic density-93 and CX3CL1, reducing neurological impairment and exerting a protective effect in the context of acute ischemic stroke. However, the mechanism underlying these effects remains unclear. In the current study, we found that the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype increased and the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype decreased at different time points. The M1 phenotype increased at 6 hours after stroke and peaked at 24 hours after perfusion, whereas the M2 phenotype decreased at 6 and 24 hours following reperfusion. We found that the peptide Tat-CX3CL1 (357–395aa) facilitates microglial polarization from M1 to M2 by reducing the production of soluble CX3CL1. Furthermore, the a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 17 (ADAM17) inhibitor GW280264x, which inhibits metalloprotease activity and prevents CX3CL1 from being sheared into its soluble form, facilitated microglial polarization from M1 to M2 by inhibiting soluble CX3CL1 formation. Additionally, Tat-CX3CL1 (357–395aa) attenuated long-term cognitive deficits and improved white matter integrity as determined by the Morris water maze test at 31–34 days following surgery and immunofluorescence staining at 35 days after stroke, respectively. In conclusion, Tat-CX3CL1 (357–395aa) facilitates functional recovery after ischemic stroke by promoting microglial polarization from M1 to M2. Therefore, the Tat-CX3CL1 (357–395aa) is a potential therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke.
