Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular damage gradually accumulates with aging, promoting a time-dependent functional decline of the brain. Microglia play an essential regulatory role in maintaining cognitive activity by phagocytosing cell debris and apoptotic cells during neurogenesis. The activities of different histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate microglial function during development and neurodegeneration. However, no studies have described the role of HDACs in microglia during physiological aging. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS HDAC and microglial marker levels were examined in microglial cells after inducing senescence in vitro and in mouse and human hippocampal biopsies in vivo, using quantitative real-time PCR. Publicly available datasets were used to determine HDAC expression in different brain areas during physiological aging. RESULTS HDAC expression increased upon the induction of senescence with bleomycin or serial passage in microglial cultures. High levels of HDACs were detected in mice and aged human brain samples. Human hippocampal samples showed a positive correlation between the expression of HDAC1, 3, and 7 and microglial and senescence markers. HDAC1 and 3 levels are enriched in the purified aged microglial population. CONCLUSIONS Several HDACs, particularly HDAC1, are elevated in microglia upon senescence induction in vitro and with aging in vivo, and correlate with microglial and senescence biomarkers.

Targeting Oxidative Stress Reduction and Inhibition of HDAC1, MECP2, and NF-kB Pathways in Rats With Experimentally Induced Hyperglycemia by Administration of Thymus marshallianus Willd. Extracts. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:581470.

Abstract
The effects of two lyophilized extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Thymus marschallianus Willd. and harvested from wild flora (TMW) and obtained from culture (TMC) were evaluated in Wistar rats with experimentally induced hyperglycemia. The hyperglycemia was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) administration and the obtained results were evaluated in comparison for TMW and TMC. The polyphenolic composition of extracts was evaluated by spectrophotometrical and LC-MS methods. In vitro antioxidant capacity assays (DPPH, FRAP, EPR) were performed in order to preliminary establish the ability of tested samples to protect against free radical induced damage. Afterwards, the effects of these extracts were assessed in vivo on rats with experimental-induced hyperglycemia. Oxidative stress biomarkers (e.g. malondialdehyde—MDA), phosphorylated transcription factor subunit of nuclear kappaB (NF-kB) p65, methyl CpG binding protein (MECP) 2 and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) expressions in hippocampus and frontal lobe were assessed. Open Field Test (OFT) and Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) were conducted on tested animals. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and HDAC1and MeCP2 expressions increased significantly in hippocampus (p<0.05) and frontal lobe (p<0.001) of diabetes group compared to the control group in parallel with decreasing of GSH/GSSG ratio. TMW and TMC administration reduced blood glucose levels and diminished lipid peroxidation, HDAC1 expression and enhanced antioxidant capacity in frontal lobe. TMW improved central locomotion of rats, increased phospho-NFkB p65 and diminished MECP2 expressions in hippocampus. Both tested samples exerted a beneficial effect by increasing the antioxidant defense. Our findings indicate that the administration of these extracts might represent a good option in the treatment of diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
Aging is associated with profound changes in the epigenome, resulting in alterations of gene expression, epigenetic landscape, and genome architecture. Class I Histone deacetylases (HDACs), consisting of HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8, play a major role in epigenetic regulation of chromatin structure and transcriptional control, and have been implicated as key players in the pathogenesis of age-dependent diseases and disorders affecting health and longevity. Here, we report the identification of class I Hdac orthologs and their detailed spatio-temporal expression profile in the short-lived fish Nothobranchius furzeri from the onset of embryogenesis until old age covering the entire lifespan of the organism. Database search of the recently annotated N. furzeri genomes retrieved four distinct genes: two copies of hdac1 and one copy of each hdac3 and hdac8. However, no hdac2 ortholog could be identified. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the individual killifish class I Hdacs within the well-defined terminal clades. We find that upon aging, Hdac1 is significantly down-regulated in muscle, liver, and brain, and this age-dependent down-regulation in brain clearly correlates with increased mRNA levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor cdkn1a (p21). Furthermore, this apparent reduction of class I HDACs in transcript and protein levels is mirrored in the mouse brain, highlighting an evolutionarily conserved role of class I HDACs during normal development and in the aging process.
