Abstract

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of hemorrhagic stroke, is a neurological emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Early brain injury (EBI) after SAH is the leading cause of poor prognosis in SAH patients. TRX system is a NADPH-dependent antioxidant system which is composed of thioredoxin reductase (TRXR), thioredoxin (TRX). The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), a pathway through which glucose can be metabolized, is a major source of NADPH. Thioredoxin 1 (TRX1) is a member of thioredoxin system mainly located in cytoplasm. Serine/threonine kinases ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is an important oxidative stress receptor, and TRX1 can regulate ATM phosphorylation and then affect the activity of PPP key enzyme glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). However, whether TRX1 is involved in the regulation of PPP pathway after subarachnoid hemorrhage remains unclear. The results showed that after SAH, the level of TRX1 and phosphor-ATM decreased while the level of TRXR1 increased. G6PD protein level remained unchanged but the activity decreased, and the NADPH contents decreased. Overexpression of TRX1 by lentivirus upregulates the level of phosphor-ATM, G6PD activity and NADPH content. TRX1 overexpression improved short-term and long-term neurobehavioral outcomes and alleviated neuronal impairment in rats. Nissl staining showed that upregulation of TRX1 reduced cortical neuron injury. Our study shows that TRX1 participates in the PPP pathway by regulating phosphorylation ATM, which is accomplished by affecting G6PD activity. TRX1 may be an important target for EBI intervention after SAH.
