ABSTRACT
A recent study has introduced a recombinant fusion protein, consisting of the extracellular domain (ECD) of p75 and the Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin IgG1 (p75ECD-Fc), as a multifaceted agent within the nervous system. This research aimed to assess the effects of p75ECD-Fc on neuronal growth and the restoration of neurological functions in rats afflicted with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE). In vitro analyses revealed that 1⯵M p75ECD-Fc treatment markedly increased cell viability and facilitated neurite outgrowth in neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Subsequent in vivo studies determined that a dose of 78.6⯵g/3⯵l of p75ECD-Fc significantly mitigated brain damage and both acute and long-term neurological impairments, outperforming the therapeutic efficacy of hypothermia, as evidenced through behavioral assessments. Additionally, in vivo immunostaining showed that p75ECD-Fc administration enhanced neuronal survival and regeneration, and reduced astrocytosis and microglia activation in the cortex and hippocampus of NHIE rats. A noteworthy shift from A1 to A2 astrocyte phenotypes and from M1 to M2 microglia phenotypes was observed after p75ECD-Fc treatment. Furthermore, a co-expression of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) and Nestin was identified, with an overexpression of Nestin alleviating the neurological dysfunction induced by NHIE. Mechanistically, the neuroprotective effects of p75ECD-Fc, particularly its inhibition of neuronal apoptosis post-OGD, may be attributed to Nestin. Taken together, these results highlight the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of p75ECD-Fc treatment through the modulation of glial cell phenotypes and the Nestin-mediated inhibition of neuronal apoptosis, positioning it as a viable therapeutic approach for NHIE.
