A Novel Role for the Histone Demethylase JMJD3 in Mediating Heroin-induced Relapse-Like Behaviors. Biol Psychiatry 2024:S0006-3223(24)01452-5. [PMID: 39019389 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2024.06.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenetic changes, leading to long-term neuroadaptations following opioid exposure are not well understood. We examined how histone demethylase JMJD3 in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) influences heroin seeking after abstinence from self-administration. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to self-administer heroin. Western blotting and qPCR were performed to quantify JMJD3 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway expression in the NAc (n = 7-11/group). Pharmacological inhibitors or viral expression vectors were microinfused into the NAc to manipulate JMJD3 or the BMP pathway member SMAD1 (n = 9-11/group). The RiboTag capture method (n = 3-5/group) and viral vectors (n = 7-8/group) were used in male transgenic rats to identify the contributions of D1- and D2-type medium spiny neurons (MSN) in the NAc. Drug-seeking was tested by cue-induced response previously paired with drug infusion. RESULTS Levels of JMJD3 and phosphorylated SMAD1/5 in the NAc were increased after 14 days of abstinence from heroin self-administration. Pharmacological and virus-mediated inhibition of JMJD3 or the BMP pathway attenuated cue-induced seeking. Pharmacological inhibition of BMP signaling reduced JMJD3 expression and histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) levels. JMJD3 bidirectionally affected seeking: expression of the wild type increased whereas expression of a catalytic dead mutant decreased cue-induced seeking. JMJD3 expression was increased in D2+ but not D1+ MSNs. Expression of the mutant JMJD3 in D2+ neurons was sufficient to decrease cue-induced heroin seeking. CONCLUSIONS JMJD3 mediates persistent cellular and behavioral adaptations underlying heroin relapse and this activity is regulated by the BMP pathway.

Abstract
AIMS This systematic review aimed to study the hippocampal and frontal changes of heart failure (HF) patients and HF animal models with cognitive impairment or depression. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted independently by reviewers using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS 30 studies were included, involving 17 pieces of clinical research on HF patients and 13 studies of HF animal models. In HF patients, the hippocampal injuries were shown in the reduction of volume, CBF, glucose metabolism, and gray matter, which were mainly observed in the right hippocampus. The frontal damages were only in reduced gray matter and have no difference between the right and left sides. The included HF animal model studies were generalized and demonstrated the changes in inflammation and apoptosis, synaptic reduction, and neurotransmitter disorders in the hippocampus and frontal lobes. The results of HF animal model studies complemented the clinical observations by providing potential mechanistic explanations of the changes in the hippocampus and frontal lobes.

Chaihujialonggumulitang shows psycho-cardiology therapeutic effect on acute myocardial infarction with comorbid anxiety by the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and suppression of oxidative stress and apoptosis. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 153:113437. [PMID: 36076489 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety is a common comorbidity of cardiovascular diseases, which deteriorated cardiac function. Chaihujialonggumulitang (BFG) was reported to have antioxidant properties, alleviate myocardial ischemia injury and improve anxiety-like behavior. The Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) /heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway is the main mechanism to defend against oxidative stress, and improve cardiac function. This study was to investigate the possible mechanism of BFG in the treatment of psycho-cardiology. METHODS AMI with comorbid anxiety rat model was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery combined with uncertain empty bottle stimulation, followed by the administration of BFG (1 mL/100 g/d by gavage) or Dimethyl fumarate (DMF, 10 mg/kg/d by intraperitoneal injection) for 6 days. Echocardiography, myocardial injury markers, H&E, and Masson staining were employed to evaluate cardiac function. Behavioral tests and hippocampus neurotransmitters were applied to record anxiety-like behavior. We employed immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, western blotting, and biochemical analysis to detect the protein and gene expression of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway-related factors, and oxidative stress and apoptosis parameters. RESULTS Rats in the AMI and complex groups showed cardiac function deterioration, as well as anxiety-like behavior. BFG improved echocardiography indicators, reduced myocardial injury markers, and attenuated myocardial pathological changes. BFG also ameliorated anxiety-like behaviors and elevated neurotransmitters levels. BFG promoted the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, increased antioxidant enzyme activities, reduced lipid peroxidation levels, and alleviated oxidative damage and apoptosis. DMF showed therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms similar to BFG. CONCLUSION BFG may possess a psycho-cardiology therapeutic effect on AMI with comorbid anxiety by the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and suppression of oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
To explore the effects of antiepileptic drug sodium valproate on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, neurological cognition, and JAK1/STAT3 pathway in hippocampus of rats with depression, 30 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were included. The depression model (DM) was prepared through the chronic stress restraint test. Some model rats were injected with 10 mg/kg sodium valproate into abdominal cavity before modeling (RT group)), and healthy rats were selected as controls (healthy control (HC) group). Depth of split brain was greatly increased in DM group, and nitrogen-acetyl aspartic acid (NAA)/creatine (Cr), glutamic acid (Glu)/Cr, and choline (Cho)/Cr ratios were greatly reduced (P < 0.05). Behavioral test results showed that sugar water preference rate, escape latency, and divergence index in DM group were greatly reduced (P < 0.05), and cumulative immobility time, target quadrant stay time, and number of crossings in forced swimming and tail suspension were prolonged dramatically (P < 0.05), with no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Expression levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in hippocampus of DM group were obviously increased (P < 0.05), and expression levels of JAK1 and STAT3 were decreased visibly (P < 0.05), with no difference between the two (P > 0.05). In summary, anti-epileptic drug sodium valproate effectively improves hippocampal volume characteristics and memory and neurocognitive dysfunction of depression models.

The cardioprotective and anxiolytic effects of Chaihujialonggumuli granule on rats with anxiety after acute myocardial infarction is partly mediated by suppression of CXCR4/NF-κB/GSDMD pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 133:111015. [PMID: 33232924 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.111015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Over-expression of CXCR4 activates nuclear translocation of NF-κB, induces high expression of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18, which promotes severe inflammatory response following myocardial infarction. Previous studies revealed inflammation induces anxiety after myocardial infarction. The Chaihujialonggumuli granule has anti-inflammatory properties and could tranquillize mind. But the mechanism of its efficacy remains unknown. This study was to investigate the possible mechanism of BFG on cardioprotective and anxiolytic. METHODS The expression of CXCR4, NF-κB, NLRP3and GSDMD was measured with western-blot, QRT-PCR. The expression location of CXCR4, NLRP3, GSDMD were determined by immunohistochemistry. IL-1β、IL-18 in the peripheral blood were measured by ELISA. HE staining, Masson staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe morphological changes of cardiomyocytes. Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function after cardiac surgery. Elevated cross maze test and open field test were used to evaluate behaviours. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of 5-HT, DA, IL-1β, IL-18 and neuron damage was investigated by Nissl staining in the hippocampus. RESULTS The up-regulation of CXCR4, NF-κB, NLRP3 and GSDMD were found in the infarcted area after left coronary artery ligation. Pathological staining and analysis showed that more severe inflammatory cytokines infiltration, myocardial fibrosis, were found in myocardial tissue of the complex group rats. And when compared to the sham group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-18 was increased of the complex group in both peripheral blood and brain. Behavioural test and echocardiography indicated that the rats in complex group exploration behaviours was significantly reduced, and with poor cardiac functional recovery. The AMD3100 had an inhibitory impact of CXCR4 on the activition of its downstream effectors, alleviating inflammatory reaction. Furthermore, the BFG decreased the expression level of CXCR4, NF-κB, GSDMD, NLRP3 in the infarcted area after myocardial infarction, when compared to the complex group. The assays in the brain indicated the BFG suppressed expression and activity of IL-1β, IL-18, and improved 5-HT and DA synthesis. CONCLUSIONS In sum, our study indicated that BFG may reduce inflammation, treat co-existing anxiety after myocardial infarction through inhibition of CXCR4/NF-κB/GSDMD signalling.
