Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Genetic factors, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, cytotoxic factors, and mitochondrial dysfunction are all involved in neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. The risk of PD can be higher in aging individuals due to decreased mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) function. The potential of AMPK to regulate neurodegenerative disorders lies in its ability to enhance antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial function, decrease mitophagy and macroautophagy, and inhibit inflammation. In addition, it has been shown that modulating the catalytic activity of AMPK can protect the nervous system. This article reviews the mechanisms by which AMPK activation can modulate PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy can improve locomotor dysfunction following spinal cord injury (SCI). Emerging evidence has demonstrated that sirtuin1 (SIRT1) exerts protective effects on neurons. However, whether HBO alleviates locomotor dysfunction by regulating SIRT1 is unclear. METHODS The traumatic SCI animal model was performed on the adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The Basso, Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale was used to evaluate the open-field locomotor function. Western blot, real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, SIRT1 activity assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to explore the molecular mechanisms. RESULTS We found that series HBO therapy significantly improved locomotor dysfunction and ameliorated the decreased mRNA, protein, and activity of spinal cord SIRT1 induced by traumatic SCI injury in rats. In addition, intraperitoneal injection of SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 abolished the beneficial effects of series HBO treatment on locomotor deficits. Importantly, series HBO treatment following the traumatic SCI injury inhibited the inflammatory cascade and apoptosis-related protein, which was retained by EX-527 and enhanced by SRT1720. Furthermore, EX-527 blocked the enhanced induction of autophagy series with the HBO application. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrated a new mechanism for series HBO therapy involving activation of SIRT1 and subsequent modulation of the inflammatory cascade, apoptosis, and autophagy, which contributed to the recovery of motor dysfunction.

CNS Neurosci Ther 2023; 29:3952-3966. [PMID: 37353944 PMCID: PMC10651984 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14319] [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: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) is one of the most dazzling molecules in neurodegenerative diseases, albeit that its role in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unknown. This article aimed to explore the potential mechanism of C9orf72 involved in the pathogenesis of PD. METHODS The expression and phosphorylation levels of C9orf72 were examined by Western blotting, RT-PCR, and immunoprecipitation using PD models. Multiple bioinformatics software was used to predict the potential phosphorylation sites of C9orf72 by Cdk5, followed by verification of whether Cdk5-inhibitor ROSCOVITINE could reverse the degradation of C9orf72 in PD. By constructing the sh-C9orf72-knockdown adenovirus and overexpressing the FLAG-C9orf72 plasmid, the effects of C9orf72 knockdown and overexpression, respectively, were determined. A short peptide termed Myr-C9orf72 was used to verify whether interfering with Cdk5 phosphorylation at the Ser9 site of the C9orf72 protein could alleviate autophagy disorder, neuronal death, and movement disorder in PD models. RESULTS The expression level of the C9orf72 protein was significantly reduced, albeit the mRNA expression was not changed in the PD models. Moreover, the phosphorylation level was enhanced, and its reduction was mainly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The key nervous system kinase Cdk5 directly phosphorylated the S9 site of the C9orf72 protein, which promoted the degradation of the C9orf72 protein. The knockdown of C9orf72 aggravated autophagy dysfunction and increased neuronal loss and motor dysfunction in substantia nigra neurons of PD mice. The overexpression of C9orf72 alleviated autophagy dysfunction in PD neurons. Specifically, interference with Cdk5 phosphorylation at the S9 site of C9orf72 alleviated autophagy dysfunction, neuronal death, and motor dysfunction mediated by C9orf72 protein degradation during PD. CONCLUSIONS Cumulatively, our findings illustrate the importance of the role of C9orf72 in the regulation of neuronal death during PD progression via the Cdk5-dependent degradation.

Sirt1 Overexpression Inhibits Fibrous Scar Formation and Improves Functional Recovery After Cerebral Ischemic Injury Through the Deacetylation of 14-3-3ζ. Mol Neurobiol 2023:10.1007/s12035-023-03378-9. [PMID: 37162725 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-023-03378-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
Cerebral ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of human death. The fibrous scar is one of major factors influencing repair in central nervous system (CNS) injury. Silencing information regulator 2-related enzyme 1 (Sirt1) can regulate peripheral tissue and organ fibrosis. However, it is unclear how the fibrous scar forms and is regulated and it is unknown whether and how Sirt1 regulates the formation of the fibrous scar after cerebral ischemic stroke. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the effects of Sirt1 on the formation of the fibrotic scar after middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury in vivo and on the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced meningeal fibroblast fibrotic response in vitro, and we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the Sirt1-regulated fibrosis process in vitro. We found that MCAO/R injury induced fibrotic scar formation in the ischemic area, which was accompanied by the downregulation of Sirt1 expression. The overexpression of Sirt1 reduced the infarct volume, improved Nissl body structure and reduced neurons injury, attenuated formation of fibrotic scar, upregulated growth associated protein43 (GAP43) and synaptophysin (SYP) expression, and promoted neurological function recovery. Similarly, Sirt1 expression was also downregulated in the TGF-β1-induced fibrosis model. Sirt1 overexpression inhibited fibroblast migration, proliferation, transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts, and secretion of extracellular matrix(ECM) by regulating the deacetylation of lysine at K49 and K120 sites of 14-3-3ζ in vitro. Therefore, we believe that Sirt1 could regulate fibrous scar formation and improve neurological function after cerebral ischemic stroke through regulating deacetylation of 14-3-3ζ.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate levels and clinical significance of serum SIRT1 in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Vascular parkinsonism (VP). METHODS This prospective observational research enrolled a total of 165 VP and 159 PD patients who were admitted during March 2018 to December 2021. Blood samples and medical characteristics were also obtained from 160 healthy volunteers. The serum Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and cytokines levels of all subjects were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Demographic and clinical data were also collected. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software with P < 0.05 as statistically different. RESULTS The mean age, the UPDRSIII score of VP patients was significantly higher compared with the PD patients (p<0.05), while the MMSE score of VP patients was significantly lower than the PD patients (p<0.001). The serum SIRT1 levels of the VP patients were remarkably lower than the PD patients or the healthy persons (p<0.05). Pearson's analysis showed that SIRT1 levels were negatively correlated with levels of IL-6, TNF- α and hcy. The UPDRSIII of SIRT1 low levels group was remarkably higher than the SIRT1 high levels group (p=0.048), while the MMSE score was lower than the SIRT1 high levels group (p<0.001). In addition, ROC curves showed that SIRT1 could be a potential diagnostic biomarker of VP. SIRT1 was a risk factor for VP. CONCLUSION Our present study indicated that SIRT1 associated with disease severity and could discriminate PD from VP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognitive functions. There are two pathological hallmarks, including accumulation of amyloid plaques composed of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and deposits of neurofibrillatory tangles (NFT). Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), a serine/threonine kinase, plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and cognitive behavior. Sulforaphene (SF) has been demonstrated to exert anti-AD activity in AD rat model. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cognitive deficits improving effects of SF on in TgCRND8 mice and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS TgCRND8 mice were intragastrically treated with SF (25 and 50 mg/kg) for 4 months from 3-month-old. The cognitive functions were assessed using Morris Water Maze Test. Cultured primary mouse neurons were pre-treated with SF, followed by co-treatment with Aβ1-42 oligomers. CDK5 inhibitor (roscovitine) was used to determine the involvement of CDK5/p25 pathway in the anti-AD effects of SF in primary neurons. RESULTS Our results showed that SF treatment significantly ameliorated the cognitive deficits in TgCRND8 mice and protected primary mouse neurons against Aβ1-42 induced neurotoxicity. SF could modulate the expression of Aβ production related markers, and suppress the phosphorylation of tau protein at specific sites in the TgCRND8 mice. In addition, SF enhanced the expressions of synaptic plasticity related markers and CDK5. SF also markedly suppressed the CDK5/p25 activity. CONCLUSIONS SF is a potent CDK5 inhibitor and a potential therapeutic agent for treatment and prevention of AD. Moreover, SF inhibited the overexpression of CDK5 in primary neurons of mouse.

Abstract
Neurologic deficits associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection impact about 50% of persons with HIV (PWH). These disorders, termed HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), possess neuropathologic similarities to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including intra- and extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide aggregates. Aβ peptide is produced through cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the beta secretase BACE1. However, this is precluded by cleavage of APP by the non-amyloidogenic alpha secretase, ADAM10. Previous studies have found that BACE1 expression was increased in the CNS of PWH with HAND as well as animal models of HAND. Further, BACE1 contributed to neurotoxicity. Yet in in vitro models, the role of ADAM10 and its potential regulatory mechanisms had not been examined. To address this, primary rat cortical neurons were treated with supernatants from HIV-infected human macrophages (HIV/MDMs). We found that HIV/MDMs decreased levels of both ADAM10 and Sirtuin1 (SIRT1), a regulator of ADAM10 that is implicated in aging and in AD. Both decreases were blocked with NMDA receptor antagonists, and treatment with NMDA was sufficient to induce reduction in ADAM10 and SIRT1 protein levels. Furthermore, decreases in SIRT1 protein levels were observed at an earlier time point than the decreases in ADAM10 protein levels, and the reduction in SIRT1 was reversed by proteasome inhibitor MG132. This study indicates that HIV-associated insults, particularly excitotoxicity, contribute to changes of APP secretases by downregulating levels of ADAM10 and its regulator.

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.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD), during which hyperglycemia is composed of the major force for the deterioration to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the underlying mechanism triggering the effect of hyperglycemia on DN is not very clear and the clinically available drug for hyperglycemia-induced DN is in need of urgent development. Here, we found that high glucose (HG) increased the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) dependent on P35/25 and which upregulated the oxidative stress and apoptosis of mouse podocytes (MPC-5). TFP5, a 25-amino acid peptide inhibiting CDK5 activity, decreased the secretion of inflammation cytokines in serum and kidney, and effectively protected the kidney function in db/db mouse from hyperglycemia-induced kidney injuries. In addition, TFP5 treatment decreased HG-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in MPC-5 cells and kidney tissue of db/db mouse. The principal component analysis (PCA) of RNA-seq data showed that MPC-5 cell cultured under HG, was well discriminated from that under low glucose (LG) conditions, indicating the profound influence of HG on the properties of podocytes. Furthermore, we found that HG significantly decreased the level of NGF and Sirt1, both of which correlated with CDK5 activity. Furthermore, knockdown of NGF was correlated with the decreased expression of Sirt1 while NGF overexpression leads to upregulated Sirt1 and decreased oxidative stress and apoptosis in MPC-5 cells, indicating the positive regulation between NGF and Sirt1 in podocytes. Finally, we found that K252a, an inhibitor of NGF treatment could undermine the protective role of TFP5 on hyperglycemia-induced DN in db/db mouse model. In conclusion, the CDK5-NGF/Sirt1 regulating axis may be the novel pathway to prevent DN progression and TFP5 may be a promising compound to improved hyperglycemia induced DN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A dental Implant is a prosthetic device made of alloplastic materials implanted into the bone to provide retention and support for a dental prosthesis. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) molecule, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylase, regulates a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including oxidative stress, metabolism, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, inflammatory, and apoptosis. We explored whether the expression of SIRT1 correlates in patients receiving implants with peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and peri-implantitis (PI) in comparison to patients with healthy peri-implant area (PIH). METHODS A number of 198 patients with dentition defects were enrolled in the study after their implants were functional for at least 6 months. All 198 subjects were divided into 3 groups: 1) control patients with PIH healthy implants; 2) patients with PIM mucositis; and 3) patients with PI implantitis. To distinguish these three groups, peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) was collected by inserting a sterile paper strip into the gap around the implant and the levels of SIRT1 and cytokines were measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Demographic and clinical data included age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), probing depth (PD), plaque index (PLI), bleeding on probing (BOP), oral health impact profile (OHIP-14), history of periodontitis and the use time of implants. RESULTS The PD, PLI, OHIP-14 evaluation scores in patients with periodontitis of PIM mucositis and PI implantitis were all significantly higher than in patients with PIH healthy implants. Overall, the SIRT1 levels in PICF of the PIM and PI patients were significantly lower than of the PIH patients. In comparison with PIM patients, SIRT1 levels of the PI patients were remarkably lower than the PIH patients. Pearson's analysis showed that SIRT1 levels were negatively correlated with levels of interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-1β in patients with PIM and PI. We suggest that SIRT1 levels could serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker of PI or PIM. The PICF levels of SIRT1, CRP, IL-6, IL-1β and the history of periodontitis were the risk factors for patients with peri-implant inflammatory process. CONCLUSION The measurement of SIRT1 expression in PICF may serve as a biomarker for the ongoing inflammatory process in patients with dental implants. The low SIRT1 levels correlated with PI implantitis and PIM mucositis as well as the elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-6 and IL-1β).

Abstract
It is known that the expression of the deubiquitinating enzyme BRCA1-BRCA2-containing complex subunit 3 (BRCC3) and cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5) is increased in Parkinson's disease (both are involved in neuroinflammatory response). However, the regulatory mechanism of Cdk5 on the post-translational modification of BRCC3 remains unclear. Here we studied whether Cdk5 phosphorylates BRCC3. Phosphorylation of BRCC3 by Cdk5 was predicted by GPS 5.0 software. His-BRCC3 plasmid was constructed by cloning the BRCC3 gene into pGEX-6P-1 vector, and then His-BRCC3 fusion protein was induced with isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside and purified using His-Tag affinity chromatography purification agarose. Phosphorylation of BRCC3 fusion protein by Cdk5 in vitro was detected by mass spectrometry and Western blotting. The results showed that multiple phosphorylation sites were predicted by GPS 5.0, and the His-BRCC3 fusion protein was successfully induced and purified. In vitro kinase assay, Western blotting, and mass spectrometry showed that Cdk5 can phosphorylate BRCC3. It has been demonstrated that protein kinase Cdk5 can phosphorylate the deubiquitinating enzyme BRCC3 in vitro, which provides new data for further study on the mechanism of neurodegeneration.

Abstract
NAD-dependent protein deacetylase Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), which regulates several cellular pathways by deacetylating multiple substrates, has been extensively studied in the context of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although several studies based on the MPTP model of PD show that SIRT2 deletion can protect against dopaminergic neuron loss, the precise mechanisms of SIRT2-mediated neuronal death have largely remained unknown. Here, we show that SIRT2 knockout can effectively ameliorate anomalous behavioral phenotypes in transgenic mouse models of PD. Importantly, in both cellular and animal models of PD, it was observed that SIRT2 translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Further, the nuclear translocation of SIRT2 promotes neuronal death. Moreover, the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5)-mediated phosphorylation of SIRT2 at the Ser331 and Ser335 sites appears to be necessary for such nuclear translocation. Taken together, the results provide insights into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of neuronal death during PD progression via the Cdk5-dependent nuclear–cytoplasmic shuttling of SIRT2.

Abstract
Exposure to cyanotoxins has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. While the cyanotoxin β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) has received much attention, cyanobacteria produce many cyanotoxic compounds, several of which have been detected in nature alongside BMAA, including 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (2,4-DAB) and N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine (AEG). Thus, the question of whether 2,4-DAB and AEG also cause neurotoxic effects in vivo is of great interest, as is the question of whether they interact to enhance toxicity. Here, we evaluate the toxic and neurotoxic effects of these cyanotoxins alone or in combination by measuring zebrafish larval viability and behavior after exposure. 2,4-DAB was the most potent cyanotoxin as it decreased larval viability by approximately 50% at 6 days post fertilization, while BMAA and AEG decreased viability by just 16% and 8%, respectively. Although we only observed minor neurotoxic effects on spontaneous locomotion, BMAA and AEG enhanced acoustic startle sensitivity, and they interacted in an additive manner to exert their effects. 2,4-DAB; however, only modulated startle kinematics, an indication of motor dysfunction. To investigate the mechanisms of 2,4-DAB's effects, we analyzed the protein profile of larval zebrafish exposed to 500 µM 2,4-DAB at two time points and identified molecular signatures consistent with neurodegeneration, including disruption of metabolic pathways and downregulation of the ALS-associated genes SOD1 and UBQLN4. Together, our data demonstrate that BMAA and its isomers AEG and 2,4-DAB cause neurotoxic effects in vivo, with 2,4-DAB as the most potent of the three in the zebrafish model.

Abstract
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +)-dependent protein deacetylase that exerts biological effects through nucleoplasmic transfer. Recent studies have highlighted that SIRT1 deacetylates protein substrates to exert its neuroprotective effects, including decreased oxidative stress and inflammatory, increases autophagy, increases levels of nerve growth factors (correlated with behavioral changes), and maintains neural integrity (affects neuronal development and function) in aging or neurological disorder. In this review, we highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective role of SIRT1 in modulating neurodegeneration, focusing on protein homeostasis, aging-related signaling pathways, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Meanwhile, the potential of targeting SIRT1 to block the occurrence and progression of neurodegenerative diseases is also discussed. Taken together, this review provides an up-to-date evaluation of our current understanding of the neuroprotective mechanisms of SIRT1 and also be involved in the potential therapeutic opportunities of AD and related neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The intracellular energy state will alter under the influence of physiological or pathological stimuli. In response to this change, cells usually mobilize various molecules and their mechanisms to promote the stability of the intracellular energy status. Mitochondria are the main source of ATP. Previous studies have found that the function of mitochondria is impaired in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases, and the damaged mitochondria bring lower ATP production, which further worsens the progression of the disease. Silent information regulator-1 (SIRT1) is a multipotent molecule that participates in the regulation of important biological processes in cells, including cellular metabolism, cell senescence, and inflammation. In this review, we mainly discuss that promoting the expression and activity of SIRT1 contributes to alleviating the energy stress produced by physiological and pathological conditions. The review also discusses the mechanism of precise regulation of SIRT1 expression and activity in various dimensions. Finally, according to the characteristics of this mechanism in promoting the recovery of mitochondrial function, the relationship between current pharmacological preparations and aging, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, and other diseases was analyzed.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. There is a growing body of evidence of the involvement of sirtuins (SIRTs) in disease pathomechanism. SIRTs are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases which take part in various cellular functions. However, available data of the relationship between SIRT gene polymorphisms and PD is limited. Our aim was to investigate the possible association of 10 SNPs identified within non-mitochondrial SIRTs, SIRT1, -2 and -6 with the risk of PD in Hungarian population, and to compare the expression level of these SIRTs between healthy controls and PD patients. Our results showed that rs3740051 and rs3818292 of SIRT1 and rs350843, rs350844, rs107251, rs350845 and rs350846 of SIRT6 show weak association with PD risk. On the contrary rs12778366 and rs3758391 of SIRT1 and rs10410544 of SIRT2 did not show association with PD. Moreover, we detected that mRNA level of SIRT1 was down-regulated, and mRNA level of SIRT6 was up-regulated, while SIRT2 mRNA level was not altered in the peripheral blood of PD patients as compared to controls. The difference in both cases was more pronounced when comparing the early-onset PD group to the control cohort. Nevertheless, mRNA level changes did not show any association with the presence of any of the investigated SNPs either in the PD or in the control group. In conclusion, our findings suggest that non-mitochondrial sirtuins, SIRT1 and -6 but not SIRT2 might contribute to the pathogenesis of PD in the Hungarian population both via their altered mRNA levels and via gene alterations identified as specific SNPs.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the neurological changes induced by acrylamide (ACR) poisoning and their underlying mechanisms within the spinal cords of male adult Wistar rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 9 rats per group). ACR was intraperitoneally injected to produce axonopathy according to the daily dosing schedules of 20 or 40 mg/kg/day of ACR for eight continuous weeks (three times per week). During the exposure period, body weights and gait scores were assessed, and the concentration of Ca2+ was calculated in 27 mice. Protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (CDK5), and P35 were assessed by electrophoretic resolution and Western blotting. The contents of 3'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and calmodulin (CaM) were determined using ELISA kits, and the activities of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), PKA, and PKC were determined using the commercial Signa TECTPKAassay kits. Compared with control rats, treatment with 20 and 40 mg/kg of ACR decreased body weight and increased gait scores at 8 weeks. Intracellular Ca2+ levels increased significantly in treated rats; CaM, PKC, CDK5, and P35 levels were significantly decreased; and PKA and cAMP levels remained unchanged. CaMKII, PKA, and PKC activities increased significantly. The results indicated that ACR can damage neurofilaments by affecting the contents and activities of CaM, CaMKII, PKA, cAMP, PKC, CDK5, and P35, which could result in ACR toxic neuropathy.

The Beneficial Roles of SIRT1 in Neuroinflammation-Related Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:6782872. [PMID: 33014276 PMCID: PMC7519200 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6782872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 161] [Impact Index Per Article: 40.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Sirtuins are the class III of histone deacetylases whose deacetylate of histones is dependent on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Among seven sirtuins, SIRT1 plays a critical role in modulating a wide range of physiological processes, including apoptosis, DNA repair, inflammatory response, metabolism, cancer, and stress. Neuroinflammation is associated with many neurological diseases, including ischemic stroke, bacterial infections, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, numerous studies indicate the protective effects of SIRT1 in neuroinflammation-related diseases. Here, we review the latest progress regarding the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of SIRT1. First, we introduce the structure, catalytic mechanism, and functions of SIRT1. Next, we discuss the molecular mechanisms of SIRT1 in the regulation of neuroinflammation. Finally, we analyze the mechanisms and effects of SIRT1 in several common neuroinflammation-associated diseases, such as cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, AD, and PD. Taken together, this information implies that SIRT1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of neuroinflammation-associated disorders.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most prevailing aging diseases around the world. The present study was to investigate the potential effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) in MPP~+ induced SH-SY5Y cells and its underlying mechanisms in PD. SH-SY5Y cells were induced by MPP~+ and treated with the H2S donor NaHS to detect the effect of H2S on the molecular behaviors of MPP~+ induced SH-SY5Y cells. NaHS reduced the apoptosis rate and expressions of MDA, 4-HNE and p62, while increased cell viability, autophagy flux and expressions of LC3 II/I and Beclin1 in MPP~+ induced SH-SY5Y cells. Then, levels of autophagy-related proteins and inflammation-related proteins (TNF-α, IL-Iβ) were detected, indicating that Chloroquine and Sirtinol reversed the protective effect of H2S on SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP~+. We further explored the particular function of H2S, SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP~+, NaHS chloroquine, and SIRT1 inhibitor (Sirtinol). The results showed that H2S increased SIRT1 expression and sulfhydration. Finally, a PD mouse model verified the above results. In a word, H2S ameliorated SIRT1 activity through acceleration of SIRT1 sulfhydration to increase the autophagy flux and attenuate damage of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP~+. H2S and SIRT1 activator might be a target in the treatment of PD patients.

Abstract
Lidocaine, a typical local anesthetic, has been shown to directly induce neurotoxicity in clinical settings. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an alpha-2-adrenoreceptor agonist that has been used as anxiolytic, sedative, and analgesic agent which has recently found to protect against lidocaine-induced neurotoxicity. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1)/forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a) signaling is critical for maintaining neuronal function and regulation of the apoptotic pathway. In the present study, we designed in vitro and in vivo models to investigate the potential effects of lidocaine and DEX on SIRT1 and FOXO3a and to verify whether SIRT1/FOXO3a-mediated regulation of apoptosis is involved in DEX-induced neuroprotective effects against lidocaine. We found that in both PC12 cells and brains of mice, lidocaine decreased SIRT1 level through promoting the degradation of SIRT1 protein. Lidocaine also increased FOXO3a protein level and increased the acetylation of SIRT1 through inhibiting SIRT1. Upregulation of SIRT1 or downregulation of FOXO3a significantly inhibited lidocaine-induced changes in both cell viability and apoptosis. DEX significantly inhibited the lidocaine-induced decrease of SIRT1 protein level and increase of FOXO3a protein level and acetylation of FOXO3a. Downregulation of SIRT1 or upregulation of FOXO3a suppressed DEX-induced neuroprotective effects against lidocaine. The data suggest that SIRT1/FOXO3a is a potential novel target for alleviating lidocaine-induced neurotoxicity and provide more theoretical support for the use of DEX as an effective adjunct to alleviate chronic neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine.

Abstract
Current therapeutic strategies for Parkinson’s disease (PD) aim to delay progression or replace damaged neurons by restoring the original neuronal structures. The poor regenerative capacity of neural tissue highlights the need for the development of cellular environments to model the pathogenesis of PD. In the current work, we have characterised the growth, survival and response to PD mimetics of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma and U-87MG glioblastoma cell lines cultured on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and Jeffamine® doped polyacrylonitrile (PJ) nano-scaffolds. Differentiation induced by a range of agents was evaluated by immunoassays of neural protein biomarkers. PAN and PJ nanofibre scaffolds provided suitable three-dimensional (3D) environment to support the growth, differentiation and network formation of dopaminergic neuron- and astrocyte-like cell populations, respectively. The scaffolds selectively supported the survival and differentiation of both cell populations with prolonged neuronal survival when exposed to PD mimetics in the presence of astrocytes in a co-culture model. Such 3D nanoscaffold-based assays could aid our understanding of the molecular basis of PD mimetic-induced Parkinsonism and the discovery of neuroprotective agents.

Downregulation of CDK5 Restores Sevoflurane-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction by Promoting SIRT1-Mediated Autophagy. Cell Mol Neurobiol 2020; 40:955-965.

Abstract
An increasing number of studies have found that use of traditional anesthetics may lead to cognitive impairment of the immature brain. Our previous studies verified that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays a role in sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction. Autophagy was shown to protect against anesthesia-induced nerve injury. Therefore, the current study aimed to ascertain if autophagy participates in anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity. In this study, primary hippocampal neurons were isolated and utilized for experiments in vitro. We also performed in vivo experiments with 6-day-old wild-type mice treated with or without roscovitine (Rosc, a CDK5 inhibitor) or 3-methyladenine (3-Ma, an autophagy inhibitor) after exposure to sevoflurane. We used the Morris water maze to analyze cognitive function. Immunohistochemical staining was used to assess pathologic changes in the hippocampus. The results showed that suppressing CDK5 reversed sevoflurane-induced nerve cell apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro and demonstrated that inhibits CDK5 activation promoted Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) expression, which functions importantly in induced autophagy activation. Suppression of Sirt1 expression inhibited the protective effect of Rosc on sevoflurane-induced nerve injury by inhibiting autophagy activation. Our in vivo experiments also found that pretreatment with 3-Ma attenuated the protective effect of Rosc on sevoflurane-induced nerve injury and cognitive dysfunction. We conclude that inhibits CDK5 activation restored sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction by promoting Sirt1-mediated autophagy.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with irreversible cognitive
impairment. So far, successful treatment and prevention for this disease are deficient in spite of delaying
the progression of cognitive impairment and dementia. Cyclin dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), a
unique member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family, is involved in AD pathogenesis and may be a
pathophysiological mediator that links the major pathological features of AD. Cdk5 dysregulation interferes
with the proteolytic processing of Amyloid-beta Protein Precursor (APP) and modulates amyloidbeta
(Aβ) by affecting three enzymes called α-, β- and γ-secretase, which are critical for the hydrolysis
of APP. Given that the accumulation and deposition of Aβ derived from APP are a common hinge point
in the numerous pathogenic hypotheses of AD, figuring out that influence of specific mechanisms of
Cdk5 on Aβ pathology will deepen our understanding of AD.

Abstract
Depression and transient ischaemic attack represent the common psychological and neurological diseases, respectively, and are tightly associated. However, studies of depression-affected ischaemic attack have been limited to epidemiological evidences, and the neural circuits underlying depression-modulated ischaemic injury remain unknown. Here, we find that chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) and chronic footshock stress (CFS) exacerbate CA1 neuron loss and spatial learning/memory impairment after a short transient global ischaemia (TGI) attack in mice. Whole-brain mapping of direct outputs of locus coeruleus (LC)-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, Th:) positive neurons reveals that LC-CA1 projections are decreased in CSDS or CFS mice. Furthermore, using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs)-based chemogenetic tools, we determine that Th:LC-CA1 circuit is necessary and sufficient for depression-induced aggravated outcomes of TGI. Collectively, we suggest that Th:LC-CA1 pathway plays a crucial role in depression-induced TGI vulnerability and offers a potential intervention for preventing depression-related transient ischaemic attack.

Rs2015 Polymorphism in miRNA Target Site of Sirtuin2 Gene Is Associated with the Risk of Parkinson's Disease in Chinese Han Population. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:1498034.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence reveals that the sirtuin family is involved in the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the association between the polymorphisms of the sirtuin gene and the risk of PD remains elusive. Here, we investigated the possible association of nine SIRT1 and SIRT2 SNPs with the risk of PD through a clinical case-control study from the Chinese Han population. Our results showed that rs12778366 in the promoter region of SIRT1 and rs2015 in the 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) of the SIRT2 were significantly associated with the risk of PD. Five SNPs related to SIRT1, rs3740051, rs7895833, rs7069102, rs2273773, and rs4746720 and two SNPs related to SIRT2, rs10410544, and rs45592833 did not show an association with PD risk in this study. Moreover, we found that mRNA level of SIRT2 was upregulated, and mRNA level of SIRT1 was downregulated in the peripheral blood of PD patients compared with healthy controls, and we also observed that SNPs rs12778366 and rs2015 influenced the SIRT1 and SIRT2 expression levels, respectively. Further functional assays suggest that rs2015 may affect the expression of SIRT2 by affecting the binding of miR-8061 to the 3′UTR of SIRT2, ultimately contributing to the risk of PD.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe, incurable, age-associated respiratory disorder that has gained significance because of its unknown etiology and lack of therapeutic approaches. IPF causes maximum damage to the alveolar epithelial cells, thereby leading to lung remodeling and initiating epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). The actual molecular mechanisms underlying IPF still remain unclear, and knowledge about these mechanisms would be helpful in its diagnosis. Sirtuins (Sirt) are class of NAD+-dependent proteins, widely known to exert positive and protective effects on age-related diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and so on, and are also involved in regulating IPF. The sirtuin family comprises of seven members (Sirt1 to Sirt7), out of which Sirt1, Sirt3, Sirt6, and Sirt7 exert positive effects on IPF. Sirt1 is associated with aging and inhibits cellular senescence and fibrosis. Sirt1 is well recognized in controlling pulmonary fibrosis and is also considered as a prime positive mediator of EMT. The expressions of Sirt3 protein tend to decline in IPF patients; hence it is known as an anti-fibrotic protein. Sirt6 indeed has been proven to reduce EMT during IPF. Decreased levels of Sirt7 during IPF regulate lung fibroblasts. Hence, active levels of Sirt1, Sirt3, Sirt6, and Sirt7 can be attractive target models to elucidate a novel potential therapeutic approach for IPF. In this prospect, we have discussed the role of Sirtuins in pulmonary fibrosis by exploring the recent research evidence that highlight the role of sirtuins and also describes their protective effects.

Abstract
Understanding underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases is fundamental to develop effective therapeutic intervention. Yet they remain largely elusive, but metabolic, and transcriptional dysregulation are common events. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent lysine deacetylase, regulating transcription, and critical for the cellular adaptations to metabolic stress. SIRT1 regulates the transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), connecting the energetic state with cell growth and function. The activity of the transcription initiation factor-IA (TIF-IA) is important for the transcriptional regulation of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes in the nucleolus, and is also sensitive to changes in the cellular energetic state. Moreover, TIF-IA is responsive to nutrient-deprivation, neurotrophic stimulation, and oxidative stress. Hence, both SIRT1 and TIF-IA connect changes in cellular stress with transcriptional regulation and metabolic adaptation. Moreover, they finely tune the activity of the transcription factor p53, maintain mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress responses. Here we reviewed and discussed evidence that SIRT1 and TIF-IA are regulated by shared pathways and their activities preserve neuronal homeostasis in response to metabolic stressors. We provide evidence that loss of rDNA transcription due to altered TIF-IA function alters SIRT1 expression and propose a model of interdependent feedback mechanisms. An imbalance of this signaling might be a critical common event in neurodegenerative diseases. In conclusion, we provide a novel perspective for the prediction of the therapeutic benefits of the modulation of SIRT1- and nucleolar-dependent pathways in metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a research priority for scientists around the world because of its high prevalence and poor prognosis. Although several mechanisms have been shown to be involved in its pathogenesis and many useful drugs have been developed, the management of DN remains challenging. Increasing amounts of evidence show that silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (sirtuin-1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)–dependent protein deacetylase, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and development of DN. Clinical data show that gene polymorphisms of sirtuin-1 affect patient vulnerability to DN. In addition, upregulation of sirtuin-1 attenuates DN in various experimental models of diabetes and in renal cells, including podocytes, mesangial cells, and renal proximal tubular cells, incubated with high concentrations of glucose or advanced glycation end products. Mechanistically, sirtuin-1 has its renoprotective effects by modulating metabolic homeostasis and autophagy, resisting apoptosis and oxidative stress, and inhibiting inflammation through deacetylation of histones and the transcription factors p53, forkhead box group O, nuclear factor-κB, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, and others. Furthermore, some microRNAs have been implicated in the progression of DN because they target sirtuin-1 mRNA. Several synthetic drugs and natural compounds have been identified that upregulate the expression and activity of sirtuin-1, which protects against DN. The present review will summarize advances in knowledge regarding the role of sirtuin-1 in the pathogenesis of DN. The available evidence implies that sirtuin-1 has great potential as a clinical target for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a mammalian homolog of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase sirtuin family. Sirtuin was originally studied as the lifespan-extending gene, silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) in budding yeast. There are seven mammalian homologs of sirtuin (SIRT1–7), and SIRT1 is the closest homolog to SIRT2. SIRT1 modulates various key targets via deacetylation. In addition to histones, these targets include transcription factors, such as forkhead box O (FOXO), Ku70, p53, NF-κB, PPAR-gamma co-activator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). SIRT1 has many biological functions, including aging, cell survival, differentiation, and metabolism. Genetic and physiological analyses in animal models have shown beneficial roles for SIRT1 in the brain during both development and adulthood. Evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies have revealed that SIRT1 regulates the cellular fate of neural progenitors, axon elongation, dendritic branching, synaptic plasticity, and endocrine function. In addition to its importance in physiological processes, SIRT1 has also been implicated in protection of neurons from degeneration in models of neurological diseases, such as traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease. In this review, we focus on the role of SIRT1 in the neuroendocrine system and neurodegenerative diseases. We also discuss the potential therapeutic implications of targeting the sirtuin pathway.

Mongelli A, Gaetano C. Controversial Impact of Sirtuins in Chronic Non-Transmissible Diseases and Rehabilitation Medicine. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19103080. [PMID: 30304806 PMCID: PMC6213918 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19103080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Accepted: 09/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
A large body of evidence reports about the positive effects of physical activity in pathophysiological conditions associated with aging. Physical exercise, alone or in combination with other medical therapies, unquestionably causes reduction of symptoms in chronic non-transmissible diseases often leading to significant amelioration or complete healing. The molecular basis of this exciting outcome—however, remain largely obscure. Epigenetics, exploring at the interface between environmental signals and the remodeling of chromatin structure, promises to shed light on this intriguing matter possibly contributing to the identification of novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we shall focalize on the role of sirtuins (Sirts) a class III histone deacetylases (HDACs), which function has been frequently associated, often with a controversial role, to the pathogenesis of aging-associated pathophysiological conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular, muscular, neurodegenerative, bones and respiratory diseases. Numerous studies, in fact, demonstrate that Sirt-dependent pathways are activated upon physical and cognitive exercises linking mitochondrial function, DNA structure remodeling and gene expression regulation to designed medical therapies leading to tangible beneficial outcomes. However, in similar conditions, other studies assign to sirtuins a negative pathophysiological role. In spite of this controversial effect, it is doubtless that studying sirtuins in chronic diseases might lead to an unprecedented improvement of life quality in the elderly.
