Abstract
Alzheimer's disease's pathophysiology is still a conundrum. Growing number of evidences have elucidated the involvement of oxidative stress in the pathology of AD rendering it a major target for therapeutic development. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by altered mitochondrial function, dysregulated electron transport chain and other sources elevate aggregated Aβ and neurofibrillary tangles which further stimulating the production of ROS. Oxidative stress induced damage to lipids, proteins and DNA result in neuronal death which leads to AD. In addition, oxidative stress induces apoptosis that is triggered by the modulation of ERK1/2 and Nrf2 pathway followed by increased GSK-3β expression and decreased PP2A activity. Oxidative stress exaggerates disease condition by interfering with various signaling pathways like RCAN1, CREB/ERK, Nrf2, PP2A, NFκB and PI3K/Akt. Studies have reported the role of TNF-α in oxidative stress stimulation that has been regulated by drugs like etanercept increasing the level of anti-oxidants. Other drugs like pramipexole, memantine, carvedilol, and melatonin have been reported to activate CREB/RCAN1 and Nrf2 pathways. In line with this, epigallocatechin gallate and genistein also target Nrf2 and CREB pathway leading to activation of downstream pathways like ARE and Keap1 which ameliorate oxidative stress condition. Donepezil and resveratrol reduce oxidative stress and activate AMPK pathway along with PP2A activation thus promoting tau dephosphorylation and neuronal survival. This study describes in detail the role of oxidative stress in AD, major signaling pathways involving oxidative stress induced AD and drugs under development targeting these pathways which may aid in therapeutic advances for AD.

Myeloid-associated differentiation marker is an essential host factor for human parechovirus PeV-A3 entry. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1817.

Abstract
Human parechovirus (PeV-A) is an RNA virus that belongs to the family Picornaviridae and it is currently classified into 19 genotypes. PeV-As usually cause mild illness in children and adults. Among the genotypes, PeV-A3 can cause severe diseases in neonates and young infants, resulting in neurological sequelae and death. In this study, we identify the human myeloid-associated differentiation marker (MYADM) as an essential host factor for the entry of six PeV-As (PeV-A1 to PeV-A6), including PeV-A3. The infection of six PeV-As (PeV-A1 to PeV-A6) to human cells is abolished by knocking out the expression of MYADM. Hamster BHK-21 cells are resistant to PeV-A infection, but the expression of human MYADM in BHK-21 confers PeV-A infection and viral production. Furthermore, VP0 capsid protein of PeV-A3 interacts with one extracellular domain of human MYADM on the cell membrane of BHK-21. The identification of MYADM as an essential entry factor for PeV-As infection is expected to advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of PeV-As.

J Inflamm (Lond) 2023; 20:9. [PMID: 36918850 PMCID: PMC10015726 DOI: 10.1186/s12950-023-00336-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Catecholamines are major neurotransmitters of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and they are of pivotal importance in regulating numerous physiological and pathological processes. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is influenced by the activity of the SNS and its neurotransmitters norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) and early sympathectomy alleviates experimental arthritis in mice. In contrast, late sympathectomy aggravates RA, since this procedure eliminates anti-inflammatory, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive cells that appear in the course of RA. While it has been shown that B cells can take up, degrade and synthesize catecholamines it is still unclear whether this also applies to synovial fibroblasts, a mesenchymal cell that is actively engaged in propagating inflammation and cartilage destruction in RA. Therefore, this study aims to present a detailed description of the catecholamine pathway and its influence on human RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). RESULTS RASFs express all catecholamine-related targets including the synthesizing enzymes TH, DOPA decarboxylase, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase. Furthermore, vesicular monoamine transporters 1/2 (VMAT1/2), dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) were detected. RASFs are also able to degrade catecholamines as they express monoaminoxidase A and B (MAO-A/MAO-B) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). TNF upregulated VMAT2, MAO-B and NET levels in RASFs. DA, NE and epinephrine (EPI) were produced by RASFs and extracellular levels were augmented by either MAO, COMT, VMAT or DAT/NET inhibition but also by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulation. While exogenous DA decreased interleukin-6 (IL-6) production and cell viability at the highest concentration (100 μM), NE above 1 μM increased IL-6 levels with a concomitant decrease in cell viability. MAO-A and MAO-B inhibition had differential effects on unstimulated and TNF treated RASFs. The MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline fostered IL-6 production in unstimulated but not TNF stimulated RASFs (10 nM-1 μM) while reducing IL-6 at 100 μM with a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability in both groups. The MAO-B inhibitor lazabemide hydrochloride did only modestly decrease cell viability at 100 μM while enhancing IL-6 production in unstimulated RASFs and decreasing IL-6 in TNF stimulated cells. CONCLUSIONS RASFs possess a complete and functional catecholamine machinery whose function is altered under inflammatory conditions. Results from this study shed further light on the involvement of sympathetic neurotransmitters in RA pathology and might open therapeutic avenues to counteract inflammation with the MAO enzymes being key candidates.

The endocannabinoidome mediator N-oleoylglycine is a novel protective agent against 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium-induced neurotoxicity. Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:926634. [PMID: 36313013 PMCID: PMC9614236 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.926634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
N-oleoylglycine (OlGly) is a lipid mediator that belongs to the expanded version of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system, the endocannabinoidome (eCBome), which has recently gained increasing attention from the scientific community for its protective effects in a mouse model of mild traumatic brain injury. However, the effects of OlGly on cellular models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have not yet been investigated, whilst other lipoaminoacids have been reported to have beneficial effects. Moreover, the protective effects of OlGly seem to be mediated by direct activation of proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), which has already been investigated as a therapeutic target for PD. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the possible protective effects of OlGly in an in vitro model obtained by treating the neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y (both differentiated and not) with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP+), which mimics some cellular aspects of a PD-like phenotype, in the presence or absence of the PPARα antagonist, GW6471. Our data show that MPP+ increases mRNA levels of PPARα in both non differentiated and differentiated cells. Using assays to assess cell metabolic activity, cell proliferation, and pro-inflammatory markers, we observed that OlGly (1 nM), both as treatment (1 h) and pre-treatment (4 h), is able to protect against neuronal damage induced by 24 h MPP+ exposure through PPARα. Moreover, using a targeted lipidomics approach, we demonstrate that OlGly exerts its effects also through the modulation of the eCBome. Finally, treatment with OlGly was able also to reduce increased IL-1β induced by MPP+ in differentiated cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that OlGly could be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of MPP+-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
The neurotoxins methamphetamine (METH) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) damage catecholamine neurons. Although sharing the same mechanism to enter within these neurons, METH neurotoxicity mostly depends on oxidative species, while MPP+ toxicity depends on the inhibition of mitochondrial activity. This explains why only a few compounds protect against both neurotoxins. Identifying a final common pathway that is shared by these neurotoxins is key to prompting novel remedies for spontaneous neurodegeneration. In the present study we assessed whether natural extracts from Bacopa monnieri (BM) may provide a dual protection against METH- and MPP+-induced cell damage as measured by light and electron microscopy. The protection induced by BM against catecholamine cell death and degeneration was dose-dependently related to the suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and mitochondrial alterations. These were measured by light and electron microscopy with MitoTracker Red and Green as well as by the ultrastructural morphometry of specific mitochondrial structures. In fact, BM suppresses the damage of mitochondrial crests and matrix dilution and increases the amount of healthy and total mitochondria. The present data provide evidence for a natural compound, which protects catecholamine cells independently by the type of experimental toxicity. This may be useful to counteract spontaneous degenerations of catecholamine cells.

Abstract
Mutations in PINK1 and parkin highlight the mitochondrial axis of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. PINK1/parkin regulation of the transcriptional repressor PARIS bears direct relevance to dopamine neuron survival through augmentation of PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis. Notably, knockout of PARIS attenuates dopaminergic neurodegeneration in mouse models, indicating that interventions that prevent dopaminergic accumulation of PARIS could have therapeutic potential in PD. To this end, we have identified the deubiquitinase cylindromatosis (CYLD) to be a regulator of PARIS protein stability and proteasomal degradation via the PINK1/parkin pathway. Knockdown of CYLD in multiple models of PINK1 or parkin inactivation attenuates PARIS accumulation by modulating its ubiquitination levels and relieving its repressive effect on PGC-1α to promote mitochondrial biogenesis. Together, our studies identify CYLD as a negative regulator of dopamine neuron survival, and inhibition of CYLD may potentially be beneficial in PD by lowering PARIS levels and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis.
