Zusammenfassung: | Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease that causes neuronal death, neuroinflammation, and other cerebral damage. However, effective therapeutic strategies for ischemic stroke are still lacking. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke, and the pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 has shown promising neuroprotective effects. In this study, we utilized positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the HDAC6-specific radioligand [18F]PB118 to investigate the dynamic changes of HDAC6 expression in the brain after ischemic injury. The results revealed a significant decline in [18F]PB118 uptake in the ipsilateral hemisphere on the first day after ischemia, followed by a gradual increase on days 4 and 7. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of HDAC6 inhibitors, we developed a novel brain-permeable and potent HDAC6 inhibitor, PB131, and assessed its neuroprotective effects in an ischemic stroke mouse model. PET imaging studies demonstrated that PB131 treatment alleviated the decline in [18F]PB118 uptake and reduced the infarct size in middle cerebral artery occlusion mice. Furthermore, PET imaging with the TSPO-specific radioligand [18F]FEPPA revealed that PB131 significantly suppressed neuroinflammation in the ischemic brain. These findings provide insights into the dynamic changes of HDAC6 in ischemic stroke and the potential of HDAC6 inhibitors as novel therapeutic agents for this condition. |
