Abstract
Aging causes substantial molecular to morphological changes in the brain. The brain cells are more susceptible towards oxidative damage due to impaired antioxidant defense system. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a crucial cellular survival protein, which its gene has been identified as a direct target of microRNA 132 (miR-132). Trehalose contributes to preventing neuronal damage through several mechanisms. However, little is known about the interactive effects of aging and trehalose on the expression pattern of miR-132 and SIRT1 in the hippocampus. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Two groups of aged (24 months) and young (4 months) rats were administered 2% trehalose solution for 30 days. Two other groups of aged and young rats received regular tap water. At the end of treatment, the levels of Sirt1 mRNA and its protein, malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl content, total antioxidant capacity, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), as well as the expression of miR-132 were measured in the hippocampus. We found that trehalose treatment upregulated the expression of SIRT1 and miR-132. Moreover, administration of trehalose enhanced the level of total antioxidant activity whereas reduced the levels of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, and TNF-α. In conclusion, our data indicated that trehalose restored antioxidant status and alleviated inflammation in the hippocampus which was probably associated with the upregulation of SIRT1 and miR-132.

J Neuroinflammation 2023; 20:202. [PMID: 37670386 PMCID: PMC10481494 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-023-02886-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optic nerve injury (ONI) is a key cause of irreversible blindness and triggers retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) change and synapse loss. Microglia is the resistant immune cell in brain and retina and has been demonstrated to be highly related with neuron and synapse injury. However, the function of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a neuroprotective molecule, in mediating microglial activation, retinal synapse loss and subsequent retinal ganglion cells death in optic nerve injury model as well as the regulatory mechanism remain unclear. METHOD To this end, optic nerve crush (ONC) model was conducted to mimic optic nerve injury. Resveratrol and EX527, highly specific activator and inhibitor of SIRT1, respectively, were used to explore the function of SIRT1 in vivo and vitro. Cx3Cr1-CreERT2/RaptorF/F mice were used to delete Raptor for inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity in microglia. HEK293 and BV2 cells were transfected with plasmids to explore the regulatory mechanism of SIRT1. RESULTS We discovered that microglial activation and synapse loss in retinal inner plexiform layer (IPL) occurred after optic nerve crush, with later-development retinal ganglion cells death. SIRT1 activation induced by resveratrol inhibited microglial activation and attenuated synapse loss and retinal ganglion cells injury. After injury, microglial phagocytosed synapse and SIRT1 inhibited this process to protect synapse and retinal ganglion cells. Moreover, SIRT1 exhibited neuron protective effects via activating tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) through deacetylation, and enhancing the inhibition effect of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 on mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 activity. CONCLUSION Our research provides novel insights into microglial SIRT1 in optic nerve injury and suggests a potential strategy for neuroprotective treatment of optic nerve injury disease.

Exp Ther Med 2023; 26:433. [PMID: 37602306 PMCID: PMC10433439 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2023.12132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis play significant roles in the development of neurotoxicity caused by bupivacaine (BUP). By activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), resveratrol (RSV) can regulate various cellular processes associated with anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammatory responses, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. However, it remains unknown whether the activation of SIRT1 by RSV is able to attenuate BUP-induced ER stress and apoptosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the effect of RSV on BUP-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells and the underlying mechanism. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, flow cytometry and inverted phase-contrast microscopy were used to assess the viability, apoptosis rate and morphological changes of the cells, respectively. Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the levels of SIRT1, the apoptosis-related proteins Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3, the ER stress-related proteins glucose-regulated protein 78, caspase-12 and CHOP, and the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK)-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 α (eIF2α)-activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) pathway-associated proteins phosphorylated (p)-PERK, PERK, p-eIF2α, eIF2α and ATF4. The results revealed that BUP induced cell apoptosis and decreased cell viability, accompanied by the downregulation of SIRT1. However, RSV restored SIRT1 protein expression, downregulated the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, upregulated the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, decreased the apoptosis rate of the cells and increased cell viability. Furthermore, the anti-apoptotic effects exhibited by RSV were associated with inhibition of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway of ER stress. However, the protective effect of RSV was significantly mitigated by the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527. These results indicate that the activation of SIRT1 by RSV alleviates BUP-induced PC12 cell ER stress and apoptosis via regulation of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway. These findings offer insights into the molecular mechanism underlying BUP-induced apoptosis and suggest the potential of RSV as a therapeutic agent against the neurotoxicity caused by BUP.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that is accompanied by deficits in memory and cognitive functions. The disease is pathologically characterised by the accumulation and aggregation of an extracellular peptide referred to as amyloid-β (Aβ) in the form of amyloid plaques and the intracellular aggregation of a hyperphosphorelated protein tau in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) that cause neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and oxidative stress. The search for pathomechanisms leading to disease onset and progression has identified many key players that include genetic, epigenetic, behavioural, and environmental factors, which lend support to the fact that this is a multi-faceted disease where failure in various systems contributes to disease onset and progression. Although the vast majority of individuals present with the sporadic (non-genetic) form of the disease, dysfunctions in numerous protein-coding and non-coding genes have been implicated in mechanisms contributing to the disease. Recent studies have provided strong evidence for the association of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with AD. In this review, we highlight the current findings on changes observed in circular RNA (circRNA), microRNA (miRNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in AD. Variations in these ncRNAs could potentially serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. We also discuss the results of studies that have targeted these ncRNAs in cellular and animal models of AD with a view for translating these findings into therapies for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Background Neuroinflammation has been reported as a potential contributing factor to brain diseases, and is characterized by activated microglia with release of multiple inflammatory mediators. 2,3,5,6-Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is an active alkaloid in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. and has various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotection properties. However, the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of TMP has been less studied and its potential molecular mechanisms in this field remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TMP and its underlying mechanisms in neuroinflammation. Methods In vitro, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia were used to assess the effects of TMP on inflammatory cytokines as well as the components of the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway, which were measured by using ELISA, western blotting, qRT-qPCR and immunofluorescence. Moreover, LPS-induced acute neuroinflammation model in mice was performed to detect whether TMP could exert anti-neuroinflammatory effects in vivo, and the EX527, a SIRT1 inhibitor, were given intraperitoneally every two days prior to TMP treatment. Serums and spinal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5) tissues were collected for ELISA assay, and the Sp5 tissues were used for HE staining, Nissl staining, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR and western blotting. Results In vitro, TMP treatment significantly reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6, promoted SIRT1 protein expression and inactivated NF-κB signaling pathway in LPS-induced neuroinflammation. Interestingly, pretreatment with EX527 blocked the therapeutic effects of TMP on neuroinflammation in vitro. Furthermore, TMP reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and prevented microglia from polarizing towards a pro-inflammatory state through activating SIRT1 and inhibiting NF-κB activation in LPS-induced neuroinflammation in mice. And EX527 reversed the beneficial effects of TMP against LPS exposure in mice. Conclusion In summary, this study unravels that TMP could mitigate LPS-induced neuroinflammation via SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is regarded as myocardial necrosis resulting from myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage and retains a major cause of mortality. Neferine, which was extracted from the green embryos of mature seeds of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn., has been reported to possess a broad range of biological activities. However, its underlying mechanism on the protective effect of I/R has not been fully clarified. A hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model with H9c2 cells closely simulating myocardial I/R injury was used as a cellular model. This study intended to research the effects and mechanism underlying neferine on H9c2 cells in response to H/R stimulation. Cell Counting Kit-8 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were employed to measure cell viability and LDH, respectively. Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by flow cytometry analysis. Oxidative stress was evaluated by detecting malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. Mitochondrial function was assessed by mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP content, and mitochondrial ROS. Western blot analysis was performed to examine the expression of related proteins. The results showed that hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cell damage, all of which were distinctly reversed by neferine. Moreover, we observed that neferine inhibited oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by H/R in H9c2 that were concomitant with increased sirtuin-1 (SITR1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 expression. On the contrary, silencing the SIRT1 gene with its small interferingRNA eliminated the beneficial effects of neferine. It is concluded that neferine preconditioning attenuated H/R-induced cardiac damage via suppressing apoptosis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be partially ascribed to the activation of SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide has drastically enhanced the expectancy and quality of life of cancer patients. However, it is accompanied by diverse neurological complications which are considered a dose-limiting adverse effect. Neurotoxicity caused by cyclophosphamide can manifest in numerous manners including anxiety, depression, motor dysfunction and cognitive deficits. This review article offers an overview on cyclophosphamide-induced neurotoxicity, providing a unified point of view on the possible underlying molecular mechanisms including oxidative brain damage, neuroinflammation, apoptotic neuronal cell death as well as disruption of the balance of brain neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors. Besides, this review sheds light on the promising protective agents that have been investigated using preclinical animal models as well as their biological targets and protection mechanisms. Despite promising results in experimental models, none of these agents has been studied in clinical trials. Thus, there is lack of evidence to advocate the use of any neuroprotective agent in the clinical setting. Furthermore, none of the protective agents has been evaluated for its effect on the anticancer activity of cyclophosphamide in tumor-bearing animals. Therefore, there is a great necessity for adequate well-designed clinical studies for evaluation of the therapeutic values of these candidates. Conclusively, this review summarizes the molecular mechanisms accounting for cyclophosphamide-induced neurotoxicity together with the potential protective strategies seeking for downgrading this neurological complication, thus enhancing the quality of life and well-being of cancer patients treated with cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
Introduction P53 represents a key player in apoptosis-induction in cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC) that ranks third worldwide in cancer prevalence as well as mortality statistics. Although a pro-apoptotic effect of resveratrol has been repeatedly proven in CRC cells, its pathway mechanisms are not completely understood, as there are controversial statements in the literature regarding its activation or inhibition of the counteracting proteins Sirt-1 and p53. Methods CRC cells as wild-type (HCT-116 WT) or p53-deficient (HCT-116 p53-/-) were cultured using multicellular tumor microenvironment (TME) cultures containing T-lymphocytes and fibroblasts to elucidate the role of p53/Sirt-1 modulation in resveratrol's concentration-dependent, pro-apoptotic, and thus anti-cancer effects. Results Resveratrol dose-dependently inhibited viability, proliferation, plasticity as well as migration, and induced apoptosis in HCT-116 WT more effectively than in HCT-116 p53-/- cells. Moreover, resveratrol stimulated Sirt-1 expression when administered at low concentrations (<5µM) but suppressed it when added at high concentrations (>10µM) to CRC-TME. In parallel, similar to the knockdown of Sirt-1 at the mRNA level, treatment with high-concentration resveratrol boosted the acetylation of p53, the expression of p21, Bax, cytochrome C, caspase-3, and ultimately induced apoptosis in CRC WT but not in CRC p53-/- cells. Notably, increasing concentrations of resveratrol were found to promote hyperacetylation of p53 and FOXO3a as post-translational substrates of Sirt-1, indicating a negative regulatory loop between Sirt-1 and p53. Discussion These results demonstrate for the first time, a negative reciprocal crosstalk between the regulatory circuits of p53 and Sirt-1, consequently, apoptosis induction by higher resveratrol concentrations in CRC-TME.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary approach that limits eating to a set number of hours per day. Human studies on the effects of TRE intervention on cardiometabolic health have been contradictory. Heterogeneity in subjects and TRE interventions have led to inconsistency in results. Furthermore, the impact of the duration of eating/fasting in the TRE approach has yet to be fully explored. AIM To analyze the existing literature on the effects of TRE with different eating durations on anthropometrics and cardiometabolic health markers in adults with excessive weight and obesity-related metabolic diseases. METHODS We reviewed a series of prominent scientific databases, including Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, and Cochrane Library articles to identify published clinical trials on daily TRE in adults with excessive weight and obesity-related metabolic diseases. Randomized controlled trials were assessed for methodological rigor and risk of bias using version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB-2). Outcomes of interest include body weight, waist circumference, fat mass, lean body mass, fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profiles, C-reactive protein, blood pressure, and heart rate. RESULTS Fifteen studies were included in our systematic review. TRE significantly reduces body weight, waist circumference, fat mass, lean body mass, blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride. However, no significant changes were observed in HbA1c, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Furthermore, subgroup analyses based on the duration of the eating window revealed significant variation in the effects of TRE intervention depending on the length of the eating window. CONCLUSION TRE is a promising chrononutrition-based dietary approach for improving anthropometric and cardiometabolic health. However, further clinical trials are needed to determine the optimal eating duration in TRE intervention for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Abstract
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant and an exogenous ligand of the endocannabinoid system. In previous studies, we demonstrated that a single microdose of THC (0.002 mg/kg, 3-4 orders of magnitude lower than the standard dose for rodents) exerts distinct, long-term neuroprotection in model mice subjected to acute neurological insults. When administered to old, healthy mice, the THC microdose induced remarkable long-lasting (weeks) improvement in a wide range of cognitive functions, including significant morphological and biochemical brain alterations. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying these effects, we analyzed the gene expression of hippocampal samples from the model mice. Samples taken 5 days after THC treatment showed significant differential expression of genes associated with neurogenesis and brain development. In samples taken 5 weeks after treatment, the transcriptional signature was shifted to that of neuronal differentiation and survival. This study demonstrated the use of hippocampal transcriptome profiling in uncovering the molecular basis of the atypical, anti-aging effects of THC microdose treatment in old mice.

Abstract
The neurovascular unit (NVU) is composed of neurons, glial cells, and blood vessels. NVU dysfunction involves the processes of neuroinflammation, and microcirculatory disturbances, as well as neuronal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traditional anti-inflammatory drugs have limited efficacy in improving the prognosis of TBI. Thus, treatments that target NVU dysfunction may provide a breakthrough. A large number of clinical studies have shown that the nutritional status of patients with TBI was closely related to their conditions and prognoses. Nutrient complexes and complementary therapies for the treatment of TBI are therefore being implemented in many preclinical studies. Importantly, the mechanism of action for this treatment may be related to repair of NVU dysfunction by ensuring adequate omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, resveratrol, apigenin, vitamins, and minerals. These nutritional supplements hold promise for translation to clinical therapy. In addition, dietary habits also play an important role in the rehabilitation of TBI. Poor dietary habits may worsen the pathology and prognosis of TBI. Adjusting dietary habits, especially with a ketogenic diet, may improve outcomes in patients with TBI. This article discusses the impact of clinical nutrition on NVU dysfunction after TBI, focusing on nutritional complexes and dietary habits.

Abstract
Introduction This study was designed to investigate the effect of running exercise on improving bone health in aging mice and explore the role of the SIRT1 in regulating autophagy and osteogenic differentiation of Bone marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs). Methods Twelve-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were used in this study as the aging model and were assigned to treadmill running exercise for eight weeks. Non-exercise male C57BL/6J mice of the same old were used as aging control and five-month-old mice were used as young controls. BMSCs were isolated from mice and subjected to mechanical stretching stimulation in vitro. Results The results showed that aging mice had lower bone mass, bone mineral density (BMD), and autophagy than young mice, while running exercise improved BMD and bone mass as well as upregulated autophagy in bone cells. Mechanical loading increased osteogenic differentiation and autophagy in BMSCs, and knockdown of SIRT1 in BMSCs demonstrated that SIRT1-regulated autophagy involved the mechanical loading activation of osteogenic differentiation. Conclusion Taken together, this study revealed that exercise improved bone health during aging by activating bone formation, which can be attributed to osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the activation of SIRT1-mediated autophagy. The mechanisms underlying this effect may involve mechanical loading.

Abstract
Many populations worldwide are suffering from central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease) and stroke. There is a shortage of effective drugs for most CNS diseases. As one of the regulatory mechanisms of epigenetics, the particular role and therapeutic benefits of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the CNS have been extensively studied. In recent years, HDACs have attracted increasing attention as potential drug targets for CNS diseases. In this review, we summarize the recent applications of representative histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACis) in CNS diseases and discuss the challenges in developing HDACis with different structures and better blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, hoping to promote the development of more effective bioactive HDACis for the treatment of CNS diseases.

Abstract
In the last decades, important progress has been achieved in the understanding of the neurotrophic effects of intermittent fasting (IF), calorie restriction (CR) and exercise. Improved neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity and adult neurogenesis (NSPAN) are essential examples of these neurotrophic effects. The importance in this respect of the metabolic switch from glucose to ketone bodies as cellular fuel has been highlighted. More recently, calorie restriction mimetics (CRMs; resveratrol and other polyphenols in particular) have been investigated thoroughly in relation to NSPAN. In the narrative review sections of this manuscript, recent findings on these essential functions are synthesized and the most important molecules involved are presented. The most researched signaling pathways (PI3K, Akt, mTOR, AMPK, GSK3β, ULK, MAPK, PGC-1α, NF-κB, sirtuins, Notch, Sonic hedgehog and Wnt) and processes (e.g., anti-inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis) that support or thwart neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis are then briefly presented. This provides an accessible entry point to the literature. In the annotated bibliography section of this contribution, brief summaries are provided of about 30 literature reviews relating to the neurotrophic effects of interest in relation to IF, CR, CRMs and exercise. Most of the selected reviews address these essential functions from the perspective of healthier aging (sometimes discussing epigenetic factors) and the reduction of the risk for neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease) and depression or the improvement of cognitive function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is the obstruction of cerebral blood flow with a high morbidity. Microglial polarization is a contributing factor for ischemic stroke-induced injury. Here, we focused on function and mechanism of RNA binding protein RPS3 in microglial polarization after ischemic stroke. METHODS Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) was conducted in SD rats. Infarct area was detected by TTC staining and neurological score was assessed. Fluorescence staining tested neuronal apoptosis and microglial differentiation. Oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) was applied for treating microglia. Levels of RPS3, SIRT1, M1 and M2 polarization markers (CD86, iNOS, CD206, Arg-1) were determined by RT-qPCR. Western blot detected RPS3, SIRT1, NLRP3, ASC and Cleaved-caspase-1 expression. RIP assay validated that RPS3 interacted with SIRT1. CCK-8 measured cell viability. Flow cytometry and ELISA assessed M1 and M2 polarization markers. LDH release was detected using colorimetric CytoTox 96 Cytotoxicity kit. RESULTS RPS3 depletion improved neurological dysfunction and reduced infarction area in rats after tMCAO. Knockdown of RPS3 resulted in increased SIRT1 expression and decreased NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and induced microglia M2 polarization after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Besides, RPS3 directly targeted SIRT1 and reduced its expression in microglia. RPS3 silencing suppressed OGD/R-triggered neuronal and microglial cell death through SIRT1. Moreover, RPS3 activated NLRP3 inflammasome and regulated microglial polarization via SIRT1. CONCLUSION RPS3 regulates microglial polarization and neuronal injury through SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway, suggesting a novel target for ischemic stroke treatment.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT) are a class of histone deacetylases that regulate important metabolic pathways and play a role in several disease processes. Of the seven mammalian homologs currently identified, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the best understood and most studied. It has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. As such, it has been further investigated as a therapeutic target in the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). SIRT1 deacetylates histones such as H1 lysine 26, H3 lysine 9, H3 lysine 56, and H4 lysine 16 to regulate chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. The homolog has also been observed to express contradictory responses to tumor suppression and tumor promotion. Studies have shown that SIRT1 may have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the effects of NF-κB, as well as stimulating upregulation of autophagy. The SIRT1 activators resveratrol and cilostazol have been shown to improve Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) scores in AD patients. In this review, we aim to explore the various roles of SIRT1 with regard to neuroprotection and neurodegeneration.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 116:154889. [PMID: 37262999 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of clinically effective neuroprotective agents for stroke therapy is still a challenging task. Microglia play a critical role in brain injury and recovery after ischemic stroke. Traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCHMs) are based on a unique therapeutic principle, have various formulas, and have long been widely used to treat stroke. Therefore, the active compounds in TCHMs and their underlying mechanisms of action are attracting increasing attention in the field of stroke drug development. PURPOSE To summarize the regulatory mechanisms of TCHM-derived natural compounds on the microglial response in animal models of ischemic stroke. METHODS We searched studies published until 10 April 2023 in the Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using the following keywords: natural compounds, natural products or phytochemicals, traditional Chinese Medicine or Chinese herbal medicine, microglia, and ischemic stroke. This review was prepared according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. RESULTS Natural compounds derived from TCHMs can attenuate the M1 phenotype of microglia, which is involved in the detrimental inflammatory response, via inhibition of NF-κB, MAPKs, JAK/STAT, Notch, TLR4, P2X7R, CX3CR1, IL-17RA, the NLRP3 inflammasome, and pro-oxidant enzymes. Additionally, the neuroprotective response of microglia with the M2 phenotype can be enhanced by activating Nrf2/HO-1, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, PPARγ, SIRT1, CB2R, TREM2, nAChR, and IL-33/ST2. Several clinical trials showed that TCHM-derived natural compounds that regulate microglial responses have significant and safe therapeutic effects, but further well-designed clinical studies are needed. CONCLUSIONS Further research regarding the direct targets and potential pleiotropic or synergistic effects of natural compounds would provide a more reasonable approach for regulation of the microglial response with the possibility of successful stroke drug development.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have begun to realize the importance of the role of non-coding RNAs in the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. LncRNAs and miRNAs are important non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression and activate mRNA translation through binding to diverse target sites. Their involvement in the regulation of protein function and the modulation of physiological and pathological conditions continues to be investigated. Sirtuins, especially Sirt1, have a critical function in regulating a variety of physiological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. The lncRNAs/miRNAs/Sirt1 axis may be a novel regulatory mechanism, which is involved in the progression and/or prevention of numerous diseases. This review focuses on recent findings on the crosstalk between non-coding RNAs and Sirt1 in myocardial and cerebral injuries and may provide some insight into the development of novel approaches in the treatment of these disorders.Abbreviation: BMECs, brain microvascular endothelial cells; C2dat1, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit delta (CAMK2D)-associated transcript 1; EPCs, endothelial progenitor cells; FOXOs, forkhead transcription factors; GAS5, growth arrest-specific 5; HAECs, human aortic endothelial cells; HAND2-AS1, HAND2 Antisense RNA 1; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α; ILF3-AS1, interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3-antisense RNA 1; KLF3-AS1, KLF3 antisense RNA 1; LncRNA, long noncoding RNA; LUADT1, Lung Adenocarcinoma Associated Transcript 1; MALAT1, Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1; miRNA, microRNA; NEAT1, nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; OIP5-AS1, Opa-interacting protein 5-antisense transcript 1; Sirt1-AS, Sirt1 Antisense RNA; SNHG7, small nucleolar RNA host gene 7; SNHG8, small nucleolar RNA host gene 8; SNHG12, small nucleolar RNA host gene 12; SNHG15, small nucleolar RNA host gene 15; STAT3, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3; TUG1, taurine up-regulated gene 1; VSMCs, vascular smooth muscle cells; XIST, X inactive specific transcript; ZFAS1, ZNFX1 Antisense RNA 1.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn), as one of the environmental risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD), has been widely studied. Though autophagy dysfunction and neuroinflammation mainly are responsible for the causative issue of Mn neurotoxicity, the molecular mechanism of parkinsonism caused by Mn has not been explored clearly. The results of in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that overexposure to Mn caused neuroinflammation impairment and autophagy dysfunction, accompanied by the increase of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA expression, and nerve cell apoptosis, microglia cell activation, NF-κB activation, poor neurobehavior performance. This is due to Mn-induced the downregulation of SIRT1. Upregulation of SIRT1 in vivo and in vitro could alleviate Mn-induced autophagy dysfunction and neuroinflammation, yet these beneficial effects were abolished following 3-MA administration. Furthermore, we found that Mn interfered with the acetylation of FOXO3 by SIRT1 in BV2 cells, leading to a decrease in the nuclear translocation of FOXO3, and its binding of LC3B promoter and transcription activity. This could be antagonized by the upregulation of SIRT1. Finally, it is proved that SIRT1/FOXO3-LC3B autophagy signaling involves in Mn-induced neuroinflammation impairment.

Modulation of redox-sensitive transcription factors with polyphenols as pathogenetically grounded approach in therapy of systemic inflammatory response. Heliyon 2023; 9:e15551. [PMID: 37180884 PMCID: PMC10171461 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the adverse outcomes of acute inflammatory response is progressing to the chronic stage or transforming into an aggressive process, which can develop rapidly and result in the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The leading role in this process is played by the Systemic Inflammatory Response that is accompanied by the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, acute phase proteins, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The purpose of this review that highlights both the recent reports and the results of the authors' own research is to encourage scientists to develop new approaches to the differentiated therapy of various SIR manifestations (low- and high-grade systemic inflammatory response phenotypes) by modulating redox-sensitive transcription factors with polyphenols and to evaluate the saturation of the pharmaceutical market with appropriate dosage forms tailored for targeted delivery of these compounds. Redox-sensitive transcription factors such as NFκB, STAT3, AP1 and Nrf2 have a leading role in mechanisms of the formation of low- and high-grade systemic inflammatory phenotypes as variants of SIR. These phenotypic variants underlie the pathogenesis of the most dangerous diseases of internal organs, endocrine and nervous systems, surgical pathologies, and post-traumatic disorders. The use of individual chemical compounds of the class of polyphenols, or their combinations can be an effective technology in the therapy of SIR. Administering natural polyphenols in oral dosage forms is very beneficial in the therapy and management of the number of diseases accompanied with low-grade systemic inflammatory phenotype. The therapy of diseases associated with high-grade systemic inflammatory phenotype requires medicinal phenol preparations manufactured for parenteral administration.

The Role of LincRNA-EPS/Sirt1/Autophagy Pathway in the Neuroprotection Process by Hydrogen against OGD/R-Induced Hippocampal HT22 Cells Injury. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13040631. [PMID: 37109017 PMCID: PMC10143835 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13040631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury causes high disability and mortality. Hydrogen (H2) enhances tolerance to an announced ischemic event; however, the therapeutic targets for the effective treatment of CI/R injury remain uncertain. Long non-coding RNA lincRNA-erythroid prosurvival (EPS) (lincRNA-EPS) regulate various biological processes, but their involvement in the effects of H2 and their associated underlying mechanisms still needs clarification. Herein, we examine the function of the lincRNA-EPS/Sirt1/autophagy pathway in the neuroprotection of H2 against CI/R injury. HT22 cells and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model were used to mimic CI/R injury in vitro. H2, 3-MA (an autophagy inhibitor), and RAPA (an autophagy agonist) were then administered, respectively. Autophagy, neuro-proinflammation, and apoptosis were evaluated by Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence staining, real-time PCR, and flow cytometry. The results demonstrated that H2 attenuated HT22 cell injury, which would be confirmed by the improved cell survival rate and decreased levels of lactate dehydrogenase. Furthermore, H2 remarkably improved cell injury after OGD/R insult via decreasing pro-inflammatory factors, as well as suppressing apoptosis. Intriguingly, the protection of H2 against neuronal OGD/R injury was abolished by rapamycin. Importantly, the ability of H2 to promote lincRNA-EPS and Sirt1 expression and inhibit autophagy were abrogated by the siRNA-lincRNA-EPS. Taken together, the findings proved that neuronal cell injury caused by OGD/R is efficiently prevented by H2 via modulating lincRNA-EPS/Sirt1/autophagy-dependent pathway. It was hinted that lincRNA-EPS might be a potential target for the H2 treatment of CI/R injury.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease with poor prognosis. The intricacies surrounding its pathophysiology could partly account for the lack of effective treatment for ALS. Sestrin2 has been reported to improve metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and is involved in the direct and indirect activation of the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) axis. Quercetin, as a phytochemical, has considerable biological activities, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumorigenicity, and neuroprotection. Interestingly, quercetin can activate the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway to reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress, and alleviate apoptosis and inflammation. This report examines the molecular relationship between Sestrin2 and AMPK/SIRT1 axis, as well as the main biological functions and research progress of quercetin, together with the correlation between quercetin and Sestrin2/AMPK/SIRT1 axis in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Copy number variation (CNV) is an important class of genetic variations widely associated with the porcine genome, but little is known about the characteristics of CNVs in foreign and indigenous pig breeds. We performed a genome-wide comparison of CNVs between Anhui indigenous pig (AHIP) and Western commercial pig (WECP) breeds based on data from the Porcine 80K SNP BeadChip. After analysis using the PennCNV software, we detected 3863 and 7546 CNVs in the AHIP and WECP populations, respectively. We obtained 225 (loss: 178, gain: 47) and 379 (loss: 293, gain: 86) copy number variation regions (CNVRs) randomly distributed across the autosomes of the AHIP and WECP populations, accounting for 10.90% and 22.57% of the porcine autosomal genome, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis of genes in the CNVRs identified genes related to immunity (FOXJ1, FOXK2, MBL2, TNFRSF4, SIRT1, NCF1) and meat quality (DGAT1, NT5E) in the WECP population; these genes were a loss event in the WECP population. This study provides important information on CNV differences between foreign and indigenous pig breeds, making it possible to provide a reference for future improvement of these breeds and their production performance.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether METTL14 participated in ovariectomized (OVX)-induced osteoporosis (OP) in mice by regulating the m6A level of SIRT1 mRNA. OVX was performed on mice to induce OP, and mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and bone marrow mononuclear macrophages (BMMs) were isolated to induce osteoblast differentiation and osteoclast differentiation, respectively. The morphology of bone trabeculae was evaluated under a micro-CT scanner. The changes in pathology of bone tissues were observed through staining using hematoxylin-eosin. The number of osteoclasts was measured by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, and the content of serum calcium, PINP, and CTX-I was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, accompanied by the measurement of the expression of SIRT1, METTL14, osteogenic marker genes, and osteoclast marker genes. The m6A modification level of SIRT1 and the binding between METTL14 and SIRT1 were verified. In OVX mice, SIRT1 and METTL14 were downregulated. Overexpression of SIRT1 or METTL14 increased the expression of osteogenic marker genes but decreased the expression of osteoclast marker genes. Additionally, METTL14 overexpression increased m6A level of SIRT1 mRNA. Furthermore, overexpression of METTL14 promoted osteoblast differentiation and suppressed osteoclast differentiation, which were reversed by knockdown of SIRT1. METTL14 promoted osteoblast differentiation and repressed osteoclast differentiation by m6A-dependent upregulation of SIRT1 mRNA, thereby alleviating OP development.

Abstract
Accrued evidence has indicated that epigenetic mechanisms altered by alcohol have been implicated in the progression and development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). SIRT1 plays an important role in ALD progression and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for treating ALD. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of [11C]WL-1 for quantitative imaging of SIRT1 in mouse models of early-stage ALD. Positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) imaging was carried out 60 min following the injection of [11C]WL-1 in mouse models of early-stage ALD and normal control mice. The time-activity curves for ALD mouse livers showed remarkably decreased total uptake of [11C]WL-1 relative to that for control mouse livers. Moreover, compared with the normal control mice, decreased uptake in the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum was also observed in early-stage ALD mice, while the uptake of [11C]WL-1 in amygdala showed no significant changes. Western blot analysis confirmed that the protein levels of SIRT1 in the brains of early-stage ALD mice were decreased significantly when compared to the normal control mouse brains. Collectively, PET imaging with [11C]WL-1 would facilitate future clinical studies, aiming to demonstrate the roles of SIRT1 in ALD.

Abstract
The brain, composed of billions of neurons, is a complex network of interacting dynamical systems controlling all body functions. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system and their impairment of their functions could result in neurodegenerative disorders. Accumulating evidence shows an increase of brain-affecting disorders, still today characterized by poor therapeutic options. There is a strong urgency to find new alternative strategies to prevent progressive neuronal loss. Polyphenols, a wide family of plant compounds with an equally wide range of biological activities, are suitable candidates to counteract chronic degenerative disease in the central nervous system. Herein, we will review their role in human healthcare and highlight their: antioxidant activities in reactive oxygen species-producing neurodegenerative pathologies; putative role as anti-acetylcholinesterase inhibitors; and protective activity in Alzheimer’s disease by preventing Aβ aggregation and tau hyperphosphorylation. Moreover, the pathology of these multifactorial diseases is also characterized by metal dyshomeostasis, specifically copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe), most important for cellular function. In this scenario, polyphenols’ action as natural chelators is also discussed. Furthermore, the critical importance of the role exerted by polyphenols on microbiota is assumed, since there is a growing body of evidence for the role of the intestinal microbiota in the gut–brain axis, giving new opportunities to study molecular mechanisms and to find novel strategies in neurological diseases.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs 1-7) are a group of histone deacetylase enzymes with a wide range of enzyme activities that target a range of cellular proteins in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria for posttranslational modifications by acetylation (SIRT1, 2, 3, and 5) or ADP ribosylation (SIRT4, 6, and 7). A variety of cellular functions, including mitochondrial functions and functions in energy homeostasis, metabolism, cancer, longevity and ageing, are regulated by sirtuins. Compromised sirtuin functions and/or alterations in the expression levels of sirtuins may lead to several pathological conditions and contribute significantly to alterations in metabolic phenotypes as well as oral carcinogenesis. Here, we describe the basic characteristics of seven mammalian sirtuins. This review also emphasizes the key molecular mechanisms of sirtuins in metabolic regulation and discusses the possible relationships of sirtuins with oral cancers. This review will provide novel insight into new therapeutic approaches targeting sirtuins that may potentially lead to effective strategies for combating oral malignancies.

Abstract
The current study aimed to determine how palm date aqueous fruit extracts (AFE) affected the autistic-like behaviors brought on by valproic acid (VPA) injection, as well as any potential contributions from Sirt-1, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy. The pregnant Sprague Dawley females were treated with VPA at 12.5th gestation day and pregnant females and their offspring were treated with AFE orally at doses of 4 mg/Kg by gastric gavage for 45 days after birth. The elevated plus-T maze, water maze, and rotarod tests were used to examine autism-like behaviors. At the end of the study, the expression of Nrf2, heme oxygenase (HO-1), Sirt-1, caspase-3 (a marker of apoptosis), LC3 (a marker of autophagy), and NFκB (inflammatory cytokines) were evaluated along with the oxidative stress in brain tissues and the histological changes in the cerebellum and hippocampus. The neurobehavioral assessments significantly declined due to VPA, which also significantly increased oxidative stress in the brain tissues and significantly decreased Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. Additionally, VPA administration caused significant increase in the expression of caspase-3 in the cerebellar cortex, not in the hippocampus; LC3 and NFκB in the hippocampus, not in the cerebellar cortex; and significant reduction in the expression of Sirt-1 in the hippocampus, not in the cerebellum. On the other hand, AFE treatment significantly improved the neurobehavioral changes as well as it improved significantly the oxidative stress and the expression of LC3, NFκB, NrF2, HO-1, and Sirt-1 in the cerebellum and hippocampus. Conclusions: AFE administration might improve the autistic-like symptoms induced by VPA in rats via attenuation of the oxidative stress, upregulation of Nrf2 and HO-1, Sirt-1 and LC3 expression with downregulation of caspase-3, and NFκB expression in the cerebellum and hippocampus.

Abstract
Silent information regulator (SIRT) has distinctive enzymatic activities and physiological functions to control cell-cycle progression, gene expression, and DNA stability by targeting histone and non-histone proteins. SIRT1 enhances synaptic formation and synaptic activity, and therefore, can reduce the progression of various degenerative brain diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD). SIRT1 activity is decreased by aging with a subsequent increased risk for the development of degenerative brain diseases. Inhibition of SIRT1 promotes inflammatory reactions since SIRT1 inhibits transcription of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) which also inhibits SIRT1 activation via activation of microRNA and miR-34a which reduce NAD synthesis. SIRT1 is highly expressed in microglia as well as neurons, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, this review aimed to find the possible role of SIRT1 in PD neuropathology. SIRT1 has neuroprotective effects; therefore, downregulation of SIRT1 during aging promotes p53 expression and may increase the vulnerability of neuronal cell deaths. PD neuropathology is linked with the sequence of inflammatory changes and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines due to the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways. In addition, oxidative stress, inflammatory disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis contribute mutually to PD neuropathology. Thus, SIRT1 and SIRT1 activators play a crucial role in the mitigation of PD neuropathology through the amelioration of oxidative stress, inflammatory disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammatory signaling pathways.

Rao Y, Li J, Qiao R, Luo J, Liu Y. Tetramethylpyrazine and Astragaloside IV have synergistic effects against spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain via the OIP5-AS1/miR-34a/Sirt1/NF-κB axis. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 115:109546. [PMID: 36577153 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both Tetramethylpyrazine (TMPZ) and Astragaloside IV (AGS-IV) can ameliorate neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation in CNS diseases. This study revolves around the underlying mechanism of TMPZ and AGS-IV in spinal cord injury (SCI)-associated neuropathic pain (NP). MATERIALS AND METHODS An in-vivo NP model was constructed in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats via SCI. qRT-PCR was employed to detect OIP5-AS1 and miR-34a. The paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) of the rats were evaluated. Neuronal apoptosis in the spinal cord of rats was examined by Nissl staining and TUNEL staining. The interactions between OIP5-AS1 and miR-34a as well as miR-34a and Sirt1 were investigated through dual luciferase assay and RIP assay. The protein expressions of Bad, Bax, Caspase-3, iNOS, COX2, NF-κB, and Sirt1 were examined by western blot. RESULTS TMPZ and AGS-IV combination relieved behavioral symptoms of neuropathic pain in the SCI rat model, enhanced the levels of OIP5-AS1 and Sirt1, and lowered the profile of miR-34a. OIP5-AS1 downregulation weakened the neuroprotective function of TMPZ and AGS-IV in SCI rats and reversed their anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects on LPS-elicited primary spinal cord neurons. miR-34a was identified as a target of OIP5-AS1. Upregulated miR-34a partly abated the protective functions of TMPZ and AGS-IV in primary spinal cord neurons. Additionally, miR-34a targeted and repressed Sirt1, thus activating the NF-κB pathway and inflammatory reactions. Sirt1 inhibition reduced the protective effects mediated by OIP5-AS1. CONCLUSION TMPZ and AGS-IV ameliorate SCI-elicited NP via the OIP5-AS1/miR-34a/Sirt1/NF-κB pathway.

Melatonin alleviates BDE-209-induced cognitive impairment and hippocampal neuroinflammation by modulating microglia polarization via SIRT1-mediated HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 172:113561. [PMID: 36566971 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2022.113561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent environmental contaminants with developmental neurotoxicity, the mechanism of which remains obscure. The present study aimed to evaluate cognitive deficits and microglia-originated neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of offspring rats exposed to BDE-209 (30 and 100 mg/kg) during perinatal period. Compared to the control, BDE-209-treated rats showed significant longer escape latency and less platform crossings in tests of Morris water maze. Besides obvious hippocampal neuron damage, increased microglial activation and pro-inflammatory markers (CD86, TNFα, and IL-1β), meanwhile, decreased anti-inflammatory molecules (CD206, IL-10, and Arg1) were induced by BDE-209. Furthermore, we investigated the neuroprotection of melatonin against BDE-209 and whether through sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). Consistent with restored SIRT1 activity, enhanced deacetylation of HMGB1 and inhibited cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1, reduced expression of proteins involved in TLR4-NF-κB pathway and nuclear transfer of phosphorylated-NF-κB p65, and ultimately suppressed microglial activation and improved spatial memory were observed in 10 mg/kg melatonin-pretreated rats, compared with BDE-209-exposed alone. These results demonstrated that melatonin ameliorated BDE-209-caused cognitive impairment partially through shifting microglia polarization towards anti-inflammatory phenotype in a SIRT1-dependent manner, suggesting a potential mechanism for prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a pathological process that occurs in ischemic stroke. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) have been verified to relieve cerebral I/R-induced inflammatory injury. Hence, we intended to clarify the function of BMSC-Exos-delivered lncRNA KLF3-AS1 (BMSC-Exos KLF3-AS1) in neuroprotection and investigated its potential mechanism. METHODS To mimic cerebral I/R injury in vivo and in vitro, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice model and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) BV-2 cell model were established. BMSC-Exos KLF3-AS1 were administered in MCAO mice or OGD-exposed cells. The modified neurological severity score (mNSS), shuttle box test, and cresyl violet staining were performed to measure the neuroprotective functions, while cell injury was evaluated with MTT, TUNEL and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays. Targeted genes and proteins were detected using western blot, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry. The molecular interactions were assessed using RNA immunoprecipitation, co-immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. RESULTS BMSC-Exos KLF3-AS1 reduced cerebral infarction and improved neurological function in MCAO mice. Similarly, it also promoted cell viability, suppressed apoptosis, inflammatory injury and ROS production in cells exposed to OGD. BMSC-Exos KLF3-AS1 upregulated the decreased Sirt1 induced by cerebral I/R. Mechanistically, KLF3-AS1 inhibited the ubiquitination of Sirt1 protein through inducing USP22. Additionally, KLF3-AS1 sponged miR-206 to upregulate USP22 expression. Overexpression of miR-206 or silencing of Sirt1 abolished KLF3-AS1-mediated protective effects. CONCLUSION BMSC-Exos KLF3-AS1 promoted the Sirt1 deubiquitinating to ameliorate cerebral I/R-induced inflammatory injury via KLF3-AS1/miR-206/USP22 network.

Diet Control and Swimming Exercise Ameliorate HFD-Induced Cognitive Impairment Related to the SIRT1-NF- κB/PGC-1 α Pathways in ApoE-/- Mice. Neural Plast 2023; 2023:9206875. [PMID: 36999158 PMCID: PMC10049848 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9206875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
High-fat diet- (HFD-) induced neuroinflammation may ultimately lead to an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Here, we evaluate the effects of diet control and swimming or both on the prevention of cognitive impairment by enhancing SIRT1 activity. Twenty-week-old ApoE-/- mice were fed a HFD for 8 weeks and then were treated with diet control and/or swimming for 8 weeks. Cognitive function was assessed using the novel object recognition test (NORT) and Y-maze test. The expression of sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the hippocampus was measured by western blotting. The levels of fractional anisotropy (FA), N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr) ratio, choline (Cho)/Cr ratio, and myo-inositol (MI)/Cr ratio in the hippocampus were evaluated by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) using 7.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our results showed that cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal neuroinflammation appeared to be remarkably observed in apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-/- mice fed with HFD. Diet control plus swimming significantly reversed HFD-induced cognitive decline, reduced the time spent exploring the novel object, and ameliorated spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze test. Compared with the HFD group, ApoE-/- mice fed diet control and/or subjected to swimming had an increase in FA, NAA/Cr, and Cho/Cr; a drop in MI/Cr; elevated expression levels of SIRT1, PGC-1α, and BDNF; and inhibited production of proinflammatory cytokines, including NF-κB p65, IL-1β, and TNF-α. SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent class III histone enzyme, deacetylases and regulates the activity of PGC-1α and NF-κB. These data indicated that diet control and/or swimming ameliorate cognitive deficits through the inhibitory effect of neuroinflammation via SIRT1-mediated pathways, strongly suggesting that swimming and/or diet control could be potentially effective nonpharmacological treatments for cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is considered to be a major environmental pollutant and occupational health hazard worldwide which may lead to neuroinflammation. However, an effective treatment for Pb-induced neuroinflammation remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of Pb-induced neuroinflammation, and the therapeutic effect of sodium para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS-Na, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) in rat cerebral cortex. The results indicated that Pb exposure induced pathological damage in cerebral cortex, accompanied by increased levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β). Moreover, Pb decreased the expression of silencing information regulator 2 related enzyme 1 (SIRT1) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and increased the levels of high mobile group box 1 (HMGB1) expression and p65 nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) phosphorylation. PAS-Na treatment ameliorated Pb-induced histopathological changes in rat cerebral cortex. Moreover, PAS-Na reduced the Pb-induced increase of TNF-α and IL-1β levels concomitant with a significant increase in SIRT1 and BDNF levels, and a decrease in HMGB1 and the phosphorylation of p65 NF-κB expression. Thus, PAS-Na may exert anti-inflammatory effects by mediating the SIRT1/HMGB1/NF-κB pathway and BDNF expression. In conclusion, in this novel study PAS-Na was shown to possess an anti-inflammatory effect on cortical neuroinflammation, establishing its efficacy as a potential treatment for Pb exposures.

Abstract
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), a highly conserved NAD+-dependent deacetylase, is a cellular regulator that has received extensive attention in recent years and regarded as a sensor of cellular energy and metabolism. The accumulated evidence suggests that SIRT1 is involved in the development of endocrine and metabolic diseases. In a variety of organisms, SIRT1 regulates gene expression through the deacetylation of histone, transcription factors, and lysine residues of other modified proteins including several metabolic and endocrine signal transcription factors, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effects of endocrine and metabolic diseases. These evidences indicate that targeting SIRT1 has promising applications in the treatment of endocrine and metabolic diseases. This review focuses on the role of SIRT1 in endocrine and metabolic diseases. First, we describe the background and structure of SIRT1. Then, we outline the role of SIRT1 in endocrine and metabolic diseases such as hyperuricemia, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Subsequently, the SIRT1 agonists and inhibitors in the above diseases are summarized and future research directions are proposed. Overall, the information presents here may highlight the potential of SIRT1 as a future biomarker and therapeutic target for endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Exploring the Neuroprotective Mechanism of Curcumin Inhibition of Intestinal Inflammation against Parkinson's Disease Based on the Gut-Brain Axis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 16:ph16010039. [PMID: 36678536 PMCID: PMC9866255 DOI: 10.3390/ph16010039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease commonly seen in aged people, in which gastrointestinal dysfunction is the most common nonmotor symptom and the activation of the gut-brain axis by intestinal inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of PD. In a previous study, curcumin was considered neuroprotective in PD, and this neuroprotective mechanism may act by inhibiting intestinal inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of curcumin on motor dysfunction and the loss of dopaminergic neurons in a PD mouse model, induced by N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) using open field test and pole test behavioral assessments and the immunofluorescence and Western blot methods. Moreover, the effects of curcumin on gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastric barrier function, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the SIRT1/NRF2 pathway in intestinal tissues in a PD mouse model were assessed using fecal parameters and intestinal dynamics, immunofluorescence, ELISA, and Western blot. A motor impairment study of an MPTP-induced mouse group prior to treatment with curcumin had a lower total movement distance and a slow average speed, while there was no statistical difference in the curcumin group. After treatment with curcumin, the total movement distance and average speed improved, the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) rate in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and striatum were reduced, the pyroptosis of AIM2 and caspase-1 activations were inhibited, and intestinal inflammatory factors and intestinal inflammation were reduced. Curcumin improved gastrointestinal disorders and gastrointestinal barrier function in the MPTP-induced mice and reversed MPTP-induced motor dysfunction and dopaminergic neuron loss in mice. The above effects may be partly dependent on curcumin activation of the SIRT1/NRF2 pathway in the colon. This study provides a potential opportunity to develop new preventive measures and novel therapeutic approaches that could target the gut-brain axis in the context of PD and provide a new intervention in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
HSV-1 is a typical neurotropic virus that infects the brain and causes keratitis, cold sores, and occasionally, acute herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). The large amount of proinflammatory cytokines induced by HSV-1 infection is an important cause of neurotoxicity in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia, as resident macrophages in CNS, are the first line of defense against neurotropic virus infection. Inhibiting the excessive production of inflammatory cytokines in overactivated microglia is a crucial strategy for the treatment of HSE. In the present study, we investigated the effect of nicotinamide n-oxide (NAMO), a metabolite mainly produced by gut microbe, on HSV-1-induced microglial inflammation and HSE. We found that NAMO significantly inhibits the production of cytokines induced by HSV-1 infection of microglia, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. In addition, NAMO promotes the transition of microglia from the pro-inflammatory M1 type to the anti-inflammatory M2 type. More detailed studies revealed that NAMO enhances the expression of Sirtuin-1 and its deacetylase enzymatic activity, which in turn deacetylates the p65 subunit to inhibit NF-κB signaling, resulting in reduced inflammatory response and ameliorated HSE pathology. Therefore, Sirtuin-1/NF-κB axis may be promising therapeutic targets against HSV-1 infection-related diseases including HSE.

DiNicolantonio JJ, McCarty MF, O'Keefe JH. Nutraceutical activation of Sirt1: a review. Open Heart 2022; 9:openhrt-2022-002171.

Abstract
The deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), activated by calorie restriction and fasting, exerts several complementary effects on cellular function that are favourable to healthspan; it is often thought of as an 'anti-aging' enzyme. Practical measures which might boost Sirt1 activity are therefore of considerable interest. A number of nutraceuticals have potential in this regard. Nutraceuticals reported to enhance Sirt1 synthesis or protein expression include ferulic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, urolithin A, melatonin, astaxanthin, carnosic acid and neochlorogenic acid. The half-life of Sirt1 protein can be enhanced with the natural nicotinamide catabolite N1-methylnicotinamide. The availability of Sirt1's obligate substrate NAD+ can be increased in several ways: nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide can function as substrates for NAD+ synthesis; activators of AMP-activated kinase-such as berberine-can increase expression of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, which is rate limiting for NAD+ synthesis; and nutraceutical quinones such as thymoquinone and pyrroloquinoline quinone can boost NAD+ by promoting oxidation of NADH. Induced ketosis-as via ingestion of medium-chain triglycerides-can increase NAD+ in the brain by lessening the reduction of NAD+ mediated by glycolysis. Post-translational modifications of Sirt1 by O-GlcNAcylation or sulfonation can increase its activity, suggesting that administration of glucosamine or of agents promoting hydrogen sulfide synthesis may aid Sirt1 activity. Although resveratrol has poor pharmacokinetics, it can bind to Sirt1 and activate it allosterically-as can so-called sirtuin-activating compound drugs. Since oxidative stress can reduce Sirt1 activity in multiple ways, effective antioxidant supplementation that blunts such stress may also help preserve Sirt1 activity in some circumstances. Combination nutraceutical regimens providing physiologically meaningful doses of several of these agents, capable of activating Sirt1 in complementary ways, may have considerable potential for health promotion. Such measures may also amplify the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in non-diabetic disorders, as these benefits appear to reflect upregulation of Sirt1 and AMP-activated protein kinase activities.

Neurotox Res 2022; 40:2016-2026.

Abstract
Acrylamide (AM) is a potent neurotoxin and carcinogen that is mainly formed by the Maillard reaction of asparagine with starch at high temperatures. However, the toxicity mechanism underlying AM has not been investigated from a proteomic perspective, and the regulation of protein expression by AM remains poorly understood. This research was the first to utilize proteomics to explore the mechanism of AM exposure-induced neuroinflammation. Target proteins were obtained by differential protein analysis, functional annotation, and enrichment analysis of proteomics. Then, molecular biology methods, including Western blot, qPCR, and immunofluorescence, were used to verify the results and explore possible mechanisms. We identified 100 key differential metabolites by proteomic analysis, which was involved in the occurrence of various biological functions. Among them, the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the differential proteins were enriched in the P53 pathway, sulfur metabolism pathway, and ferroptosis. Finally, the differential target protein we locked was LARP7. Molecular biological verification found that AM exposure inhibited the expression of LARP7 and induced the burst of inflammation, while SRT1720 agonist treatment showed no effect on LARP7, but significant changes in inflammatory factors and NF-κB. Taken together, these findings suggested that AM may activate NF-κB to induce neuroinflammation by inhibiting the LARP7-SIRT1 pathway. And our study provided a direction for AM-induced neurotoxicity through proteomics and multiple biological analysis methods.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a current pandemic disease caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus respiratory type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked with various neurological manifestations due to cytokine-induced disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB), neuroinflammation, and peripheral neuronal injury, or due to direct SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism. Of note, many repurposed agents were included in different therapeutic protocols in the management of COVID-19. These agents did not produce an effective therapeutic eradication of SARS-CoV-2, and continuing searching for novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents is a type of challenge nowadays. Therefore, this study aimed to review the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of citicoline in the management of COVID-19.

Abstract
Background Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Effective treatments to alleviate AD are still not currently available. Hence, we explored markers and underlying molecular mechanisms associated with AD by utilizing gene expression profiles of AD and CSVD patients from public databases, providing more options for early diagnosis and its treatment. Methods Gene expression profiles were collected from GSE63060 (for AD) and GSE162790 (for CSVD). Differential analysis was performed between AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or CSVD progression and CSVD no-progression. In both datasets, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with the same expression direction were identified as common DEGs. Then protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for common DEGs. Differential immune cells and checkpoints were calculated between AD and MCI. Results A total of 146 common DEGs were identified. Common DEGs were mainly enriched in endocytosis and oxytocin signaling pathways. Interestingly, endocytosis and metabolic pathways were shown both from MCI to AD and from CSVD no-progression to CSVD progression. Moreover, SIRT1 was identified as a key gene by ranking degree of connectivity in the PPI network. SIRT1 was associated with obesity-related genes and metabolic disorders. Additionally, SIRT1 showed correlations with CD8 T cells, NK CD56 bright cells, and checkpoints in AD. Conclusion The study revealed that the progression of AD is associated with abnormalities in gene expression and metabolism and that the SIRT1 gene may serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in childhood. However, classical antiepileptic drugs are linked with drug toxicity and cognitive function impairment in children. Hence, it is essential to develop a novel therapy to solve this problem. Currently, studies indicate regulating the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated ferroptosis pathway represents a potential advanced therapy for seizures. Hence, the present study aimed to explore whether quercetin, a natural polyphenol, could alleviate seizure-induced neuron death and preserve cognitive function by inhibiting Nrf2-mediated ferroptosis. METHODS Kainic acid-induced epileptic mice model, morris water maze (MWM) test, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assays, western blotting analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, and RNA sequencing analysis were employed to explore the potential mechanisms by which quercetin exerts protective effects on seizure-induced neuron death in kainic acid-induced epileptic mice model and glutamate-induced HT22 neuronal cell death. RESULTS Our findings suggested the association between the Nrf2-mediated ferroptosis pathway and seizures in a clinical setting. Quercetin pretreatment alleviates seizure-like behaviors and cognitive impairment in KA-induced epileptic mice. Additionally, in vitro, co-treatment with quercetin effectively exerts neuroprotective effects in glutamate-induced HT22 neuronal cell death. These protective effects were also closely linked to regulating the Nrf2-mediated ferroptosis pathway. Furthermore, bioinformatic profiling revealed that the SIRT1/Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway plays a crucial role in the Glu-induced HT22 cell death pretreated with quercetin. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicated that quercetin effectively protects against seizure-induced neuron death in vivo and in vitro and alleviates cognitive function impairment via the SIRT1/Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.

Abstract
Delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR) is a prevalent perioperative neurological complication in older patients and has common characteristics such as acute cognitive dysfunction, impaired memory, and inattention. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exo) are enclosed by a lipid bilayer contain proteins, DNA, miRNA, and other components, which are important mediators of intercellular communication. It has been reported that exosomes could play an important role in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, nerve injury, and other neurological diseases. In this study, we examined the effects of MSCs-Exo on dNCR aged mice after exploratory laparotomy and evaluated their potential regulatory mechanisms. We found that MSCs-Exo treatment ameliorated cognitive impairment in dNCR aged mice. MSCs-Exo inhibit hippocampus ferroptosis and increase the expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), factor nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in dNCR aged mice. Interestingly, the above effects of MSCs-Exo on dNCR aged mice were abolished by SIRT1 selective inhibitor EX-527. In conclusion, these findings indicated that MSCs-Exo can ameliorate cognitive impairment by inhibiting hippocampus ferroptosis in dNCR aged mice via activating SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, providing a potential avenue for the treatment of dNCR.

Abstract
Sirtuins are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent lysine deacylases and deacetylases that participate in a variety of cellular processes, including transcriptional activity, energy metabolism, DNA damage response, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress. As a result, sirtuins are linked to multiple pathophysiological processes, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and respiratory diseases. Asthma is the most common respiratory disease, which is characterized by airway inflammation and airway remodeling. Accumulating evidence has indicated that sirtuins are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Furthermore, some studies have suggested that sirtuin modulators are potential agents for the treatment of asthma via alteration of the expression or activity of sirtuins. In this review, we illustrate the role of sirtuins in asthma, discuss related molecular mechanisms, and evaluate the sirtuins-targeted therapy for asthma.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is characterized by cognitive impairments following anesthesia/surgery, but the role of obesity and the underlying mechanisms are not known. We investigated the impact of obesity on POCD. Eighty male C57BL/6 J mice were assigned randomly to two groups fed a normal chow diet (ND, n = 40) or a high-fat diet (HD, n = 40) for 20 weeks. Then, they were divided randomly into eight subgroups of 10: ND control (NDC), ND with surgery (NDS), HD control (HDC), HD with surgery (HDS); NDS + DMSO (NDS + DS), NDS + SRT1720 (NDS + SRT), HDS + DMSO (HDS + DS), and HDS + SRT1720 (HDS + SRT). Body weight, blood glucose level, and serum lipid levels were measured. Staining methods on liver tissues were used to determine hepatic steatosis. A POCD model was established by sleeve gastrectomy (SG) under isoflurane anesthesia. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test (MWMT). Expression of sirtuin1 (SIRT1), phosphorylated cAMP-responsive element binding protein (p-CREB), CREB and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus were measured. High-fat diet-fed mice for 20 weeks could establish an obesity model with hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Cognitive impairment was significantly worse in the HDC and HDS groups than that in the NDC and NDS groups, respectively. Hippocampal expression of SIRT1, p-CREB, and BDNF in the HDS group was significantly lower than that of the HDC group. SRT1720 (SIRT1 activator) pretreatment could attenuate cognitive impairment by upregulating SIRT1 expression. These data suggest that obesity exacerbated postoperative hippocampal-dependent cognitive impairment via a SIRT1 pathway, and SRT1720 pretreatment could alleviate it.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Treatment of PD is challenging, as current treatment strategies are only symptomatic and do not stop disease development. Recent studies reported neuroprotective effects of calcitriol in PD through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The exact pathomechanisms of PD are not yet fully understood. So, investigation of different molecular pathways is challenging. Sirtuin-1 (Sirt1) modulates multiple physiological processes, including programmed cell death, DNA repair, and inflammation. Furthermore, defective autophagy is considered a key pathomechanism in PD as it eliminates protein aggregation and dysfunctional cell organelles. The present study investigated the involvement of autophagy and Sirt1/NF-κB molecular pathway in rotenone-induced PD and explored the protective and restorative effects of calcitriol through these mechanisms. Therefore, behavioral tests were used to test the effect of calcitriol on motor disability and equilibrium. Furthermore, the histological and neuronal architecture was assessed. The expression of genes encoding neuroinflammation and autophagy markers was determined by qPCR while their protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis and immune-histochemical staining. Our results indicate that behavioral impairments and dopaminergic neuron depletion in the rotenone-induced PD model were improved by calcitriol administration. Furthermore, calcitriol attenuated rotenone-induced neuroinflammation and autophagy dysfunction in PD rats through up-regulation of Sirt1 and LC3 and down-regulation of P62 and NF-κB expression levels. Thus, calcitriol could induce a neuro-protective and restorative effect in the rotenone-induced PD model by modulating autophagy and Sirt1/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of exercise on the proper functioning of the body have been firmly established. Multi-systemic metabolic regulation of exercise is the consequence of multitudinous changes that occur at the cellular level. The exercise responsome comprises all molecular entities including exerkines, miRNA species, growth factors, signaling proteins that are elevated and activated by physical exercise. Exerkines are secretory molecules released by organs such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and gut as a function of acute/chronic exercise. Exerkines such as FNDC5/irisin, Cathepsin B, Adiponectin, and IL-6 circulate through the bloodstream, cross the blood-brain barrier, and modulate the expression of important signaling molecules such as AMPK, SIRT1, PGC1α, BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF which further contribute to improved energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and overall well-being of the body and brain. These molecules are also responsible for neuroprotective adaptations that exercise confers on the brain and potentially ameliorate neurodegeneration. This review aims to detail important cellular and molecular species that directly or indirectly mediate exercise-induced benefits in the body, with an emphasis on the central nervous system.
