    Abstract Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability, intensely demanding innovative and accessible therapeutic strategies. Approaches presenting a prolonged period for therapeutic intervention and new treatment administration routes are promising tools for stroke treatment. Here, we evaluated the potential neuroprotective properties of nasally administered human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cell (hAT-MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained from healthy individuals who underwent liposuction. After a single intranasal EV (200 µg/kg) administered 24 h after a focal permanent ischemic stroke in rats, a higher number of EVs, improvement of the blood-brain barrier, and re-stabilization of vascularization were observed in the recoverable peri-infarct zone, as well as a significant decrease in infarct volume. In addition, EV treatment recovered long-term motor (front paws symmetry) and behavioral impairment (short- and long-term memory and anxiety-like behavior) induced by ischemic stroke. In line with these findings, our work highlights hAT-MSC-derived EVs as a promising therapeutic strategy for stroke.

    Abstract Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression is increased in hepatic stellate cells (HSC) upon liver cirrhosis and it functions as an integral membrane protein of lipid rafts and caveolae that regulates and integrates multiple signals as a platform. This study aimed to evaluate the role of Cav-1 in HSC. Thus, the effects of exogenous expression of Cav-1 in GRX cells, a model of activated HSC, were determined. Here, we demonstrated through evaluating well-known HSC activation markers - such as α-smooth muscle actin, collagen I, and glial fibrillary acidic protein - that up regulation of Cav-1 induced GRX to a more activated phenotype.

    Abstract Tissue accumulation and high urinary excretion of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) are found in ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE), an inherited disorder associated with cerebral and cerebellar atrophy whose pathogenesis is poorly established. The in vitro and in vivo effects of EMA on bioenergetics and redox homeostasis were investigated in rat cerebellum. For the in vitro studies, cerebellum preparations were exposed to EMA, whereas intracerebellar injection of EMA was used for the in vivo evaluation. EMA reduced state 3 and uncoupled respiration in vitro in succinate-, glutamate-, and malate-supported mitochondria, whereas decreased state 4 respiration was observed using glutamate and malate. Furthermore, mitochondria permeabilization and succinate supplementation diminished the decrease in state 3 with succinate. EMA also inhibited the activity of KGDH, an enzyme necessary for glutamate oxidation, in a mixed manner and augmented mitochondrial efflux of α-ketoglutarate. ATP levels were markedly reduced by EMA, reflecting a severe bioenergetic disruption. Docking simulations also indicated interactions between EMA and KGDH and a competition with glutamate and succinate for their mitochondrial transporters. In vitro findings also showed that EMA decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca

    Abstract Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is an integral membrane protein present in all organelles, responsible for regulating and integrating multiple signals as a platform. Mitochondria are extremely adaptable to external cues in chronic liver diseases, and expression of Cav-1 may affect mitochondrial flexibility in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation. We previously demonstrated that exogenous expression of Cav-1 was sufficient to increase some classical markers of activation in HSCs. Here, we aimed to evaluate the influence of exogenous expression and knockdown of Cav-1 on regulating the mitochondrial plasticity, metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria distance, and lysosomal activity in HSCs. To characterize the mitochondrial, lysosomal morphology, and ER-mitochondria distance, we perform transmission electron microscope analysis. We accessed mitochondria and lysosomal networks and functions through a confocal microscope and flow cytometry. The expression of mitochondrial machinery fusion/fission genes was examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Total and mitochondrial cholesterol content was measured using Amplex Red. To define energy metabolism, we used the Oroboros system in the cells. We report that GRX cells with exogenous expression or knockdown of Cav-1 changed mitochondrial morphometric parameters, OXPHOS metabolism, ER-mitochondria distance, lysosomal activity, and may change the activation state of HSC. This study highlights that Cav-1 may modulate mitochondrial function and structural reorganization in HSC activation, being a potential candidate marker for chronic liver diseases and a molecular target for therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Autophagy is a cellular bulk degradation process used as an alternative source of energy and metabolites and implicated in various diseases. Inefficient autophagy in nutrient-deprived cancer cells would be beneficial for cancer therapy making its modulation valuable as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, especially in combination with chemotherapy. Dipyridamole (DIP) is a vasodilator and antithrombotic drug. Its major effects involve the block of nucleoside uptake and phosphodiestesase inhibition, leading to increased levels of intracellular cAMP. Here we report that DIP increases autophagic markers due to autophagic flux blockage, resembling autophagosome maturation and/or closure impairment. Treatment with DIP results in an increased number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes and impairs degradation of SQSTM1/p62. As blockage of autophagic flux decreases the recycling of cellular components, DIP reduced the intracellular ATP levels in cancer cells. Autophagic flux blockage was neither through inhibition of lysosome function nor blockage of nucleoside uptake, but could be prevented by treatment with a PKA inhibitor, suggesting that autophagic flux failure mediated by DIP results from increased intracellular levels of cAMP. Treatment with DIP presented antiproliferative effects in vitro alone and in combination with chemotherapy drugs. Collectively, these data demonstrate that DIP can impair autophagic degradation, by preventing the normal autophagosome maturation, and might be useful in combination anticancer therapy.

    Abstract Guanosine (GUO) has neuroprotective effects in experimental models of brain diseases involving glutamatergic excitotoxicity in male animals; however, its effects in female animals are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated the influence of gender and GUO treatment in adult male and female Wistar rats submitted to focal permanent cerebral ischemia in the motor cortex brain. Female rats were subdivided into non-estrogenic and estrogenic phase groups by estrous cycle verification. Immediately after surgeries, the ischemic animals were treated with GUO or a saline solution. Open field and elevated plus maze tasks were conducted with ischemic and naïve animals. Cylinder task, immunohistochemistry and infarct volume analyses were conducted only with ischemic animals. Female GUO groups achieved a full recovery of the forelimb symmetry at 28-35 days after the insult, while male GUO groups only partially recovered at 42 days, in the final evaluation. The ischemic insult affected long-term memory habituation to novelty only in female groups. Anxiety-like behavior, astrocyte morphology and infarct volume were not affected. Regardless the estrous cycle, the ischemic injury affected differently female and male animals. Thus, this study points that GUO is a potential neuroprotective compound in experimental stroke and that more studies, considering the estrous cycle, with both genders are recommended in future investigation concerning brain diseases.

    Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapeutic option for obesity and its complications, especially in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expression of proglucagon, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3), and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) in jejunum cells of the morbidly obese (OB) non type 2 diabetes mellitus (NDM2) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), to determine the molecular basis of incretin secretion after bariatric surgery.
    Methods: Samples of jejunal mucosa were obtained from 20 NDM2 patients: removal of a section of the jejunum about 60 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz and 18 T2DM patients: removal of a section of the jejunum about 100 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was carried out. Samples were sequenced to PC1/3 by ACTGene Análises Moleculares Ltd. Immuno content was quantified with a fluorescence microscope.
    Results: T2DM showed decreased PC1/3 mRNA expression in the primers tested (primer a, p=0.014; primer b, p=0.048). Many patients (36.5 %) did not express PC1/3 mRNA. NDM2 and T2DM subjects showed nonsignificantly different proglucagon, GIP, and DPP-IV mRNA expression. The immuno contents of glucagon-like peptide-1 and GIP decreased in T2DM jejunum, but incubation with high glucose stimulated the immuno contents.
    Conclusions: The results suggest that bioactivation of pro-GIP and proglucagon could be impaired by the lower expression of PC1/3 mRNA in jejunum cells of obese patients with T2DM. However, after surgery, food could activate this system and improve glucose levels in these patients.
