[PMID: 38892217 PMCID: PMC11173073 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25116025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Microglia-mediated inflammatory response is one key cause of many central nervous system diseases, like Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesized that a novel C15orf39 (MAPK1 substrate) plays a critical role in the microglial inflammatory response. To confirm this hypothesis, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-induced human microglia HMC3 cells as a representative indicator of the microglial in vitro inflammatory response. We found that C15orf39 was down-regulated when interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) expression increased in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated HMC3 cells. Once C15orf39 was overexpressed, IL-6 and TNFα expression were reduced in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated HMC3 cells. In contrast, C15orf39 knockdown promoted IL-6 and TNFα expression in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated HMC3 cells. These results suggest that C15orf39 is a suppressive factor in the microglial inflammatory response. Mechanistically, C15orf39 interacts with the cytoplasmic protein arginine methyltransferase 2 (PRMT2). Thus, we termed C15orf39 a PRMT2 interaction protein (PRMT2 IP). Furthermore, the interaction of C15orf39 and PRMT2 suppressed the activation of NF-κB signaling via the PRMT2-IκBα signaling axis, which then led to a reduction in transcription of the inflammatory factors IL6 and TNF-α. Under inflammatory conditions, NF-κBp65 was found to be activated and to suppress C15orf39 promoter activation, after which it canceled the suppressive effect of the C15orf39-PRMT2-IκBα signaling axis on IL-6 and TNFα transcriptional expression. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that in a steady condition, the interaction of C15orf39 and PRMT2 stabilizes IκBα to inhibit IL-6 and TNFα expression by suppressing NF-κB signaling, which reversely suppresses C15orf39 transcription to enhance IL-6 and TNFα expression in the microglial inflammatory condition. Our study provides a clue as to the role of C15orf39 in microglia-mediated inflammation, suggesting the potential therapeutic efficacy of C15orf39 in some central nervous system diseases.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:5530-5539. [PMID: 36434456 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-24278-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Learning and memory play a fundamental role on brain cognitive functions which are crucial for human life. Nonylphenol (NP), a serious environmental pollutant over the world, is proven to be harmful for learning and memory mainly via diet exposure. Currently, besides the administrative restrictions for the use of NP, there are rarely other effective approaches against learning and memory impairment caused by NP. This review summarized the mechanisms underlying NP-induced learning and memory impairment according to in vivo and in vitro experiments. Based on the studies involved in behavior tests, these mechanisms were classified as oxidative stress, neurotransmitter disorder, synaptic plasticity impairment, and neuron injury. In addition, according to the studies which did not conduct behavior tests, the possible mechanisms underlying NP-induced learning and memory impairment were proposed as chronic inflammation and gut permeability increment. Furthermore, this review also revealed the demanding questions for the mechanism investigations and therapeutic methods. Notably, the summarized mechanisms might accelerate the prevention and remediation of NP-induced learning and memory impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonylphenol (NP), a chemical compound widely used in industry, is the result of the nonylphenol ethoxylate decomposition and it is known as an estrogen-like compound. Numerous studies and researches have shown that it has many destructive functions of various organs such as the brain. This toxicant causes oxidative stress in the cortex and hippocampus cells, which are two essential regions to preserve memory and learning in the brain. METHODS This review examines recent findings to better understanding the mechanisms of NP neurotoxicity. We used Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases to find articles focused on the destructive effects of NP on the oxidative stress pathway and its defense mechanisms. RESULTS NP has potential human health hazards associated with gestational, peri- and postnatal exposure. NP can disrupt brain homeostasis in different ways, such as activation of inflammatory factors in brain especially in hippocampus and cortex, disruption of the cell cycle, changes in neuron, dendrites and synapses morphology, disruption of extra and intracellular calcium ion balance and also memory and learning disorders.

Dietary biotin deficiency decreased growth performance and impaired the immune function of the head kidney, spleen and skin in on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2020; 97:216-234. [PMID: 31857225 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.12.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2019] [Revised: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary biotin deficiency on the growth performance and immune function of the head kidney, spleen and skin in on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 540 on-growing grass carp (117.11 ± 0.48 g) were fed six diets containing increasing levels of biotin (0.012, 0.110, 0.214, 0.311, 0.427 and 0.518 mg/kg diet) for 70 days. Subsequently, a challenge experiment was performed by infecting them with Aeromonas hydrophila for six days. Our results showed that compared with the appropriate biotin level, (1) biotin deficiency (0.012 mg/kg diet) reduced the activities of lysozyme (LZ) and acid phosphatase (ACP), decreased the contents of complement 3 (C3), C4 and immunoglobulin M (IgM), as well as reduced the mRNA levels of antimicrobial peptides in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp; (2) biotin deficiency reduced the mRNA levels of anti-microbial substances: liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide (LEAP) -2A, LEAP-2B, hepcidin, β-defensin-1 and mucin 2 in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp; (3) biotin deficiency increased the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p40, IL-15, IL-17D, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interferon γ2 (IFN-γ2) partially in association with nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling and reduced anti-inflammatory IL-4/13A, IL-10, IL-11 and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA levels partially in association with target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp. Interestingly, biotin deficiency had no effect on the expression of IL-12p35, IL-4/13B, TGF-β2, 4E-BP1 (skin only) or IKKα in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp. In conclusion, the results indicated that biotin deficiency impaired the immune function of the head kidney, spleen and skin in fish. Finally, based on the percent weight gain (PWG), the ability to prevent skin haemorrhages and lesions, the LZ activity in the head kidney and the C4 content in the spleen, the optimal dietary biotin levels for on-growing grass carp (117-534 g) were estimated as 0.210, 0.230, 0.245 and 0.238 mg/kg diet, respectively.

Abstract
The excellent optical property and relatively low toxicity of CdTe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) make them an advanced fluorescent probe in the application of biomedicines, particularly in neuroscience. Thus, it is important to evaluate the biosafety of CdTe/ZnS QDs on the central nervous system (CNS). Our previous studies have suggested that the high possibility of CdTe/ZnS QDs being transported into the brain across the blood-brain barrier resulted in microglial activation and a shift of glycometabolism, but their underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, when mice were injected intravenously with CdTe/ZnS QDs through tail veins, the microglial activation, polarized into both M1 phenotype and M2 phenotype, and the neuronal impairment were observed in the hippocampus. Meanwhile, the increased pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines released from BV2 microglial cells treated with CdTe/ZnS QDs also indicated that QD exposure was capable of inducing microglial activation in vitro. We further demonstrated that the glycolytic shift from oxidative phosphorylation switching into aerobic glycolysis was required in the microglial activation into M1 phenotype induced by CdTe/ZnS QD treatment, which was mediated through the mTOR signaling pathway. The findings, taken together, provide a mechanistic insight regarding the CdTe/ZnS QDs inducing microglial activation and the role of the glycolytic shift in it.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral element for plants and is nontoxic to organisms. In this study, we took advantage of nanotechnologies to systematically investigate the antibacterial mechanisms of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) against the phytopathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum) in vitro and in vivo for the first time. R. solanacearum has contributed to catastrophic bacterial wilt, which has resulted in the world-wide reduction of tobacco production. The results demonstrated that MgONPs possessed statistically significant concentration-dependent antibacterial activity, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were measured as 200 and 250 μg/mL, respectively. Additional studies, aimed at understanding the toxicity mechanism of MgONPs, indicated that physical injury occurred to the cell membranes, along with decreased motility and biofilm formation ability of R. solanacearum, due to the direct attachment of MgONPs to the surfaces of the bacterial cells, which was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation could also be an important reason for the antibacterial action, inducing DNA damage. The toxicity assessment assay under greenhouse conditions demonstrated that the MgONPs had exerted a large effect on tobacco bacterial wilt, reducing the bacterial wilt index. Altogether, the results suggest that the development of MgONPs as alternative antibacterial agents will become a new research subject.
