摘要:

颅内血管丧失或功能障碍是创伤性脑损伤特征性表现之一,几乎伴随创伤性脑损伤全病理过程,对创伤性脑损伤患者的结局及神经功能恢复具有重要意义。endorepellin可通过影响多条信号通路改变细胞的氧化应激水平、成管能力,并最终发挥拮抗血管生成作用。然而,endorepellin在创伤性脑损伤后血管新生中的作用仍缺乏相关研究。实验发现下调endorepellin的表达可以促进小鼠损伤灶周围血管新生并改善小鼠TBI后神经功能恢复,利用同步辐射进行活体小鼠脑血管造影进一步提示endorepellin表达下调后损伤灶周围新生微血管密度明显提高,且存在灌注功能的血管显著增加。体外实验中,人脐静脉内皮细胞在低表达endorepellin后细胞成管能力显著增强,进一步探究发现,低表达endorepellin促进内皮细胞成管能力的潜在机制可能与血管生成素1及血管内皮生长因子信号通路有关。实验为促进TBI后微血管新生及神经功能损伤修复提供了新的干预靶点。

Abstract: Endorepellin plays a key role in the regulation of angiogenesis, but its effects on angiogenesis after traumatic brain injury are unclear. This study explored the effects of endorepellin on angiogenesis and neurobehavioral outcomes after traumatic brain injury in mice. Mice were randomly divided into four groups: sham, controlled cortical impact only, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-green fluorescent protein, and AAV-shEndorepellin-green fluorescent protein groups. In the controlled cortical impact model, the transduction of AAV-shEndorepellin-green fluorescent protein downregulated endorepellin while increasing the number of CD31+/Ki-67+ proliferating endothelial cells and the functional microvessel density in mouse brain. These changes resulted in improved neurological function compared with controlled cortical impact mice. Western blotting revealed increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-1 in mice treated with AAV-shEndorepellin-green fluorescent protein. Synchrotron radiation angiography showed that endorepellin downregulation promoted angiogenesis and increased cortical neovascularization, which may further improve neurobehavioral outcomes. Furthermore, an in vitro study showed that downregulation of endorepellin increased tube formation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells compared with a control. Mechanistic analysis found that endorepellin downregulation may mediate angiogenesis by activating vascular endothelial growth factor- and angiopoietin-1-related signaling pathways.
