Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) was recently identified to play a critical role in necrotic cell death. To examine its role in ischemia injury, we examined its expression and the degradation of MLKL on neuroprotective effects in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. We found that MLKL expression was significantly increased at 6 h after reperfusion and reached peak at 48 h after I/R injury. Our findings further demonstrated that a small chemical Necrosulfonamide (NSA) decreased MLKL level after I/R injury by increasing the degradation of MLKL through the ubiquitination proteasome pathway. The degradation of MLKL by NSA also increased cleaved PARP-1 level, a marker of apoptosis. The reduction of MLKL by NSA markedly improved neurological deficits compared with vehicle-treated mice after MCAO. NSA pre-treatment and post-treatment reduced infarct volume even when NSA was administrated at 4 h after I/R injury, indicating a long therapeutic window of NSA treatment. These findings suggest that MLKL plays a critical role in ischemic injury and is a new therapeutic target for stroke. Therefore, Promoting the degradation of MLKL may represent a novel avenue for reducing necrotic cell death after ischemic brain injury.
