2. INTRODUCTION
• stroke is caused due to interruption of cerebral blood supply
,and 13-25%stroke are internal carotid artery occlusion
• An establishment of Internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO)
model in CD1 mouse that result in mild to moderate level of
neuronal damage most striatum
• Epigenetic mechanisms in stroke control the transcription
events as DNA methylation and histone lysine acetylation
• The epigenetic mechanisms like H3 and H4 methylation and
demethylation in H3K9, H3K27 and H4K20 methylation , a
transcriptionally repressive epigentic modification implicated
in stroke
• Histone lysine methyltransferases (KMT) and histone lysine
demethylases (KDM) have promising role in ischemia induced
stroke
3. • The study involved ICAO model and novel role of
epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in H3K9me2 in
striatal damage and subsequent repair after mild to
moderate ischemia
• A novel insight was use of an inhibitor of jmjd2
class lysine demethylase to prevent H3K9me2 level
go down after induction of ICAO result in reduction
of neurological ICAO giving neuroprotection
4. OBJECTIVE
• To established a mild to moderate stroke model
(ICAO) in CD1 mouse to Investigate the role of
histone lysine methylation and demethylation in
ischemia induced brain damage and subsequent
recovery at various time points

12. 4.ICAO induced striatal damage was associated with increase in
hypoxia inducible factor 1ᾳ and inflammatory cytokines
The role of Hypoxia-inducing factor(HIF-1α)and inflammatory gene sin ICAO
model.(A and B)Hif-1α an mRNA expression increases at early time period 1d of
post-ICAO and few inflammatory marker sp65,TNF-α,IL-1α and IL-6mRNA
expression increases at 1d of post-ICAO as compared to the sham ipsilateral group
13. blot images and densitometry quantification shows increased expression ofHIF-1α at 3 h of
post-ICAO and return to basal level at 1 d of post-ICAO as compared to the sham ipsilateral
group. β-actin were using as a loading control. Protein bands were quantified by
using ImageJ analysis and normalized by β-actin. Statistical analyzers were carried out
by using Student’s t-test, n = 6 to 8 mice ineachgroup.*p b 0.05,and **p b

17. 8.Transcriptional activation of neuroinflammatory genes IL-1ᾳ,TNF-ᾳ

H3K9me2 level at inflammatory gene promoters' p65, IL-1α and TNF-α in

20. Discussion
• ICAO involve a milder neurological deficits that may
asymatomatic to sympatomatic in stroke
• The MRS analysis after ICAO revealed a significant increase in
level of lactate and reduction in level of NAA, creatine , choline
indicate ischemia induced damage and neuronal death
• Cell death assay by tunnel staining show more fragmented DNA
on ipsilateral side of striatum compared to contralateral side at
1day ICAO
• H and E staining show more vacuolization on ipsilateral side
• Based on forelimb and rotarod seems that ICAO induced motor
impairment coordination at 24hr and persists till 3d post ICAO
• ICAO induced HIF-1ᾳ expression at 3 hr but get down at 1 day
post ICAO compared to sham group
• Gene expression of p65,IL, TNF-ᾳ was up in 1 day post ICAO show
role in cellular damage in stroke
21. • Investigation shows role of KMTs and jumonji domain
containing KDMs in regulation of epigenetic modification
H3K9me2 in neural damage and subsequent repair in
striatal of CD1mouse
• The H3K9me2 a transcriptionally repressive epigenetic
mark, was down at 1day post ICAO and recovered at 15days
post ICAO correlated with recovery in stroke
• Reduction on level of jmjd1 and jmjd2 at 3day post ICAO
help in methylation at H3K9 and recovery in neuronal
damage
• The DMOG , inhibitors of histone lysine demethylases jmjds
induced increase in H3K9me2 level after ischemic attack
reduced damage and initiating neuronal regeneration
