Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) has previously been shown to protect neurons from death in traumatic and ischemic brain injuries. This study tests the hypothesis that Nec-1 protects neural cells against traumatic and ischemic brain injuries through inhibition of the Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3). We have used biochemical and morphological techniques to determine the inhibition of Nec-1 on BNIP3-induced cell death and to identify its mechanism of action in in vivo and in vitro models of neurodegeneration. Here we show that Nec-1 significantly increased neuronal viability following prolonged exposure to hypoxia in vitro, and attenuated myelin damage and neuronal death in traumatic brain injury and cerebral ischemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Nec-1 alleviated traumatic brain injury-induced up-regulation of BNIP3 in mature oligodendrocytes. In isolated mitochondria, Nec-1 prevented BNIP3 from integrating into mitochondria by modifying its binding sites on the mitochondria. Consequently, Nec-1 robustly inhibited BNIP3-induced collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced the opening probability of mitochondrial permeability transition pores. Nec-1 also preserved mitochondrial ultrastructure and suppressed BNIP3-induced nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor. In conclusion, Nec-1 protects neurons and oligodendrocytes against traumatic and ischemic brain injuries by targeting the BNIP3-induced cell death pathway, and is a novel inhibitor for BNIP3.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
