PG - 662-677 LID - 10.1007/s12035-023-03617-z [doi] AB - After spinal cord injury (SCI), secondary injuries including blood cells infiltration followed by the production of inflammatory mediators are led by blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) breakdown. Therefore, preventing BSCB damage could alleviate the secondary injury progresses after SCI. Recently, we reported that transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRPM7) expression is increased in vascular endothelial cells after injury and thereby mediates BSCB disruption. However, the mechanism by which TRPM7 regulates BSCB disruption has not been examined yet. In current research, we show that TRPM7 mediates BSCB disruption via mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway after SCI in rats. After contusion injury at T9 level of spinal cord, mTOR pathway was activated in the endothelial cells of blood vessels and TRPM7 was involved in the activation of mTOR pathway. BSCB disruption, MMP-2/9 activation, and blood cell infiltration after injury were alleviated by rapamycin, a mTOR signaling inhibitor. Rapamycin also conserved the level of tight junction proteins, which were decreased after SCI. Furthermore, mTOR pathway regulated the expression and activation of histone H3K27 demethylase JMJD3, known as a key epigenetic regulator mediating BSCB damage after SCI. In addition, rapamycin inhibited JMJD3 expression, the loss of tight junction molecules, and MMP-2/9 expression in bEnd.3, a brain endothelial cell line, after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. Thus, our results suggest that TRPM7 contributes to the BSCB disruption by regulating JMJD3 expression through the mTOR pathway after SCI. CI - (c) 2023.
