PURPOSE: Glial activation and the disorders of cytokine secretion induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are crucial pathogenic processes in establishing ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of the brain and spinal cord. This present study aimed to investigate the effects of mucous-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) on spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion (SCI/R) injury via regulating glial ERS. METHODS: SCI/R was induced by thoracic aorta occlusion-reperfusion in rats. The MALT1-specific inhibitor MI-2 or human recombinant MALT1 protein (hrMALT1) was administrated for three consecutive days after the surgery. Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the localization of MALT1 and ERS profiles in activated astrocyte and microglia of spinal cord. The ultrastructure of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was examined by transmission electron microscopy. Blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) disruption and noninflammatory status were assessed. The neuron loss and demyelination in the spinal cord were monitored, and the hindlimb motor function was evaluated in SCI/R rats. RESULTS: Intraperitoneally postoperative MI-2 treatment down-regulated phos-NF-κB (p65) and Bip (ERS marker protein) expression in the spinal cord after SCI/R in rats. Intraperitoneal injection MI-2 attenuated the swelling/dilation of ER of the glia in SCI/R rats. Furthermore, MI-2 attenuated I/R-induced Evans blue (EB) leakage and microglia M1 polarization in spinal cord, implying a role ...
