High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) known as hyperhomocysteine-mia (HHcy), contribute to autophagy and ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Previous studies have shown that I/R injury and HHcy cause increased cerebrovascular permeability; however, the associated mechanism remains obscure. Interestingly, during HHcy, cytochome-c becomes homocysteinylated (Hcy-cyto-c). Cytochrome-c (cyto-c) transports electrons and facilitates bioenergetics in the system. However, its role in autophagy during ischemia/reperfusion injury is unclear. Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a major herbal antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether THC ameliorates autophagy during ischemia/reperfusion injury by reducing homocysteinylation of cyto-c in hyperhomocysteinemia pathological condition. To test this hypothesis we employed 8–10 weeks old male cystathionine-beta-synthase heterozygote knockout (CBS+/−) mice (genetically hyperhomocystemic mice). Experimental group was: CBS+/−, CBS+/−+THC (25mg/kg in 0.1%DMSO dose); CBS (+/−)/I/R and CBS (+/−)/I/R+THC(25mg/kg in 0.1%DMSO dose). Ischemia was performed for 30 min and reperfusion for 72 hours. THC was injected intra-peritoneally (I.P.) once daily for a period of 3 days after 30 of ischemia. The infarct area was measured using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Permeability was determined by brain edema and Evans Blue extravasation. The brain tissues were analyzed for oxidative stress, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), damage-regulated autophagy modulator (DRAM), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) by Western blot. The mRNA levels of S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolases (SAHH) and Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes were measured by Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to determine the homocysteinylation of cyto-c. We found that brain edema and Evans Blue leakage were reduced in I/R+THC treated groups as compared to sham operated groups along with reduced brain infarct size. THC also decreased oxidativedamage and ameliorated the homocysteinylation of cyto-c in-part by MMP-9 activation which leads to autophagy in I/R groups as compared to sham operated groups. This study suggests a potential therapeutic role of dietary THC in cerebral ischemia.
