Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2024; 117:105255. [PMID: 37952424 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2023.105255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aging becomes the most predominant risk factor for all age-associated pathological conditions with the increase of life expectancy and the aggravation of social aging. Slowing down the speed of aging is considered an effective way to improve health, but so far, effective anti-aging methods are relatively lacking. METHODS Anemonin (ANE) was screened from eight existing small-molecule compounds by cell viability assay. The function of ANE was determined by the analysis of cell proliferation, β -galactosidase (SA-β -Gal) activity, cell cycle, SASP secretion, NAD+/NADH ratio, and other aging-related indicators. The targets of ANE were predicted by Drug Target Prediction System (DTPS) and Swiss Targe Prediction System. The effect of ANE on PARP-1-NAD+-SIRT1 signaling pathway was assessed by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot, PARP1, NAD+ and SIRT1 activity detection. RESULTS ANE can delay cell senescence; PARP1 is one of the targets of ANE and plays a crucial role in ANE anti-aging; ANE release more NAD+ by inhibiting PARP1 activity, thereby conversely promoting the function of SIRT1 and delay cell senescence. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that ANE can delay cellular senescence through the PARP1-NAD+-SIRT1 signaling pathway, which may be considered as an effective anti-aging strategy.

Abstract
Bioenergetic deficits are known to be significant contributors to neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, identifying safe and effective means to address intracellular bioenergetic deficits remains a significant challenge. This work provides mechanistic insights into the energy metabolism-regulating function of colloidal Au nanocrystals, referred to as CNM-Au8, that are synthesized electrochemically in the absence of surface-capping organic ligands. When neurons are subjected to excitotoxic stressors or toxic peptides, treatment of neurons with CNM-Au8 results in dose-dependent neuronal survival and neurite network preservation across multiple neuronal subtypes. CNM-Au8 efficiently catalyzes the conversion of an energetic cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH), into its oxidized counterpart (NAD+ ), which promotes bioenergy production by regulating the intracellular level of adenosine triphosphate. Detailed kinetic measurements reveal that CNM-Au8-catalyzed NADH oxidation obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics and exhibits pH-dependent kinetic profiles. Photoexcited charge carriers and photothermal effect, which result from optical excitations and decay of the plasmonic electron oscillations or the interband electronic transitions in CNM-Au8, are further harnessed as unique leverages to modulate reaction kinetics. As exemplified by this work, Au nanocrystals with deliberately tailored structures and surfactant-free clean surfaces hold great promise for developing next-generation therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sirtuin (SIRT)1, as a molecular link between immunity and metabolic pathways, is a key immune response regulator. The significance of SIRT1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) has not been investigated. Here, we aimed to evaluate the SIRT1 mRNA level in PBMCs of patients with NMOSD and its clinical relevance and explore the potential mechanism of SIRT1 action. METHODS A total of 65 patients with NMOSD and 60 normal controls from North China were enrolled. Using real-time fluorescence quantitative-polymerase chain reaction, mRNA levels were detected in PBMCs, and protein levels were detected using western blotting. RESULTS Compared to the healthy controls and chronic-phase patients with NMOSD, SIRT1 mRNA and protein levels in PBMCs of NMOSD patients with acute attack were significantly downregulated (p < 0.0001). ∆EDSS scores (EDSS scores in the acute phase-EDSS scores before the recent attack) were higher in NMOSD patients with low SIRT1 mRNA level than in patients with high SIRT1 expression (p = 0.042). SIRT1 mRNA level in patients with acute-phase NMSOD was positively correlated with lymphocyte and monocyte counts and negatively correlated with neutrophil counts and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Furthermore, the transcription factor FOXP3 mRNA level was significantly positively correlated with the SIRT1 mRNA level in PBMCs of patients with acute-phase NMOSD. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that SIRT1 mRNA expression was downregulated in the PBMCs of patients with acute-phase NMOSD, and its level was correlated with the clinical parameters of the patients, suggesting a potential role of SIRT1 in NMOSD.

Modulation of salivary ICAM-1 and SIRT1 by disease modifying drugs in undepressed relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients. Mult Scler Relat Disord 2022; 68:104257. [PMID: 36308972 DOI: 10.1016/j.msard.2022.104257] [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: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is multifactorial where the correlation between inflammation and MS is evident. Adhesion molecules such as Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are implicated in MS. SIRT1 is a member of surtins family that play a protective role in neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Although previously studied in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) patients, however the salivary expression of ICAM-1 and SIRT1 have not been yet studied in patients receiving fingolimod or interferon-β. Therefore, the present research aimed to investigate the expression of salivary ICAM-1 and SIRT1 in RRMS patients treated with fingolimod or interferon-β compared to controls. METHODS RRMS patients attending the neurology department of AL-Bashir Hospital were recruited. Patients' demographics, clinical information, and psychiatric status were evaluated (depression, anxiety and stress). Afterward, matched controls were recruited, then unstimulated whole saliva was obtained from the participants. The salivary expression of ICAM-1 and SIRT1 was investigated using western blot and normalized with β-actin. RESULTS Data were analyzed from 53 participants: 26 on fingolimod, 14 on interferon-β, and 13 control. The interferon-β treated patients showed a significantly (p < 0.001) higher ICAM-1 expression and lower SIRT1 expression (p < 0.05) compared to the control. Levels of ICAM-1 and SIRT1 did not vary between fingolimod and control. CONCLUSION ICAM-1 and SIRT1 expression might be affected with fingolimod or INF- β treatment which should be investigated more in the future.

Mitochondrial activity is the key to the protective effect of β-Lapachone, a NAD + booster, in healthy cells against cisplatin cytotoxicity. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 101:154094. [PMID: 35447421 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CDDP) is a first-line chemotherapeutic drug for treating various cancers. However, CDDP also damages normal cells and causes many side effects. Recently, CDDP has been demonstrated to kill cancer cells by targeting mitochondria. Protecting mitochondria might be a potential therapeutic strategy for CDDP-induced side effects. β-Lapachone (β-lap), a recognized NAD+ booster, has been reported to regulate mitochondrial activity. However, it remains unclear whether maintaining mitochondrial activity is the key factor in the protective effects of β-lap in CDDP-treated normal cells. PURPOSE In this study, the protective effects of β-lap on mitochondria against CDDP cytotoxicity in normal cells were evaluated. STUDY DESIGN In vitro cell models were used in this study, including 3T3 fibroblasts, human dermal fibroblasts, MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. METHODS Cells were treated with CDDP and β-lap, and cell survival, NAD+, mitochondrial activity, autophagy, and ATP production were measured. Various inhibitors and siRNAs were used to confirm the key signal underlying the protective effects of β-lap. RESULTS The results demonstrated that β-lap significantly decreased CDDP cytotoxicity in normal fibroblasts. With various inhibitors and siRNAs, β-lap reduced CDDP-induced damage to normal fibroblasts by maintaining mitochondrial activity and increasing autophagy through the NQO1/NAD+/SIRT1 axis. Most importantly, the protective effects of β-lap in fibroblasts did not affect the therapeutic effects of CDDP in cancer cells. This study indicated that mitochondrial activity, energy production, and NQO1 levels might be crucial responses separating normal cells from cancer cells under exposure to CDDP and β-lap. CONCLUSION β-lap could be a good synergistic drug for reducing the side effects of CDDP without affecting the anticancer drug effect.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current knowledge on essential vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5. These B-complex vitamins must be taken from diet, with the exception of vitamin B3, that can also be synthetized from amino acid tryptophan. All of these vitamins are water soluble, which determines their main properties, namely: they are partly lost when food is washed or boiled since they migrate to the water; the requirement of membrane transporters for their permeation into the cells; and their safety since any excess is rapidly eliminated via the kidney. The therapeutic use of B-complex vitamins is mostly limited to hypovitaminoses or similar conditions, but, as they are generally very safe, they have also been examined in other pathological conditions. Nicotinic acid, a form of vitamin B3, is the only exception because it is a known hypolipidemic agent in gram doses. The article also sums up: (i) the current methods for detection of the vitamins of the B-complex in biological fluids; (ii) the food and other sources of these vitamins including the effect of common processing and storage methods on their content; and (iii) their physiological function.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, where ongoing demyelination and remyelination failure are the major factors for progressive neurological disability. In this report, we employed a comprehensive proteomic approach and immunohistochemical validation to gain insight into the pathobiological mechanisms that may be associated with the progressive phase of MS. Isolated proteins from myelinated regions, demyelinated white-matter lesions (WMLs), and gray-matter lesions (GMLs) from well-characterized progressive MS brain tissues were subjected to label-free quantitative mass spectrometry. Using a system-biology approach, we detected increased expression of proteins belonging to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and oxidative phosphorylation pathway in WMLs. Intriguingly, many of these proteins and pathways had opposite expression patterns and were downregulated in GMLs of progressive MS brains. A comparison to the human MitoCarta database mapped the mitochondrial proteins to mitochondrial subunits in both WMLs and GMLs. Taken together, we provide evidence of opposite expression of mitochondrial proteins in response to demyelination of white- and gray-matter regions in progressive MS brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of NAD+ on thymus autophagy in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice through SIRT1. METHODS Bioinformatic analysis was used to identify hub genes. Forty female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, EAE, NAD+, and NAD+ +SIRT1 inhibitor (SIRT-IN-3) groups and SIRT1 group. The NAD+ group and SIRT1 inhibitor group were treated with NAD+ drug and fed for 4 weeks. The neurological function scores were evaluated weekly. The thymus tissues of wild-type mice were removed, ground and filtered into single-cell suspension. MOG 35-55 (1 μg/mL) was given to primary thymic epithelial cells (TECs) to induce EAE model in vitro. The expression of LC-3A/B was observed by immunofluorescence. The expressions or the activation/phosphorylation of associated proteins were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Enrichment analysis showed PI3K-Akt-mTOR and autophagy pathway were main terms in EAE diseases, and the relationship between NAD+ and SIRT1. The activation of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR were the highest in the EAE group consistent with decreased P62, Beclin1, LC-3A/B and SIRT1, and NAD+ reversed these results, furthermore SIRT1 inhibitor: SIRT-IN3 weakened the NAD+' effects in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Immunofluorescence study in vivo and in vitro were accord with the results of western blot. CONCLUSIONS NAD+ exerted a protective effect on EAE mice by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway through SIRT1 in TECs, and prevented EAE mice from sustained damage.

Abstract
Objective To examine the gut microbiota in individuals with and without pediatric‐onset multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods We compared stool‐derived microbiota of Canadian Pediatric Demyelinating Disease Network study participants ≤21 years old, with MS (disease‐modifying drug [DMD] exposed and naïve) or monophasic acquired demyelinating syndrome [monoADS] (symptom onset <18 years), and unaffected controls. All were ≥30 days without antibiotics or corticosteroids. V4 region 16S RNA gene‐derived amplicon sequence variants (Illumina MiSeq) were assessed using negative binomial regression and network analyses; rate ratios were age‐ and sex‐adjusted (aRR). Results Thirty‐two MS, 41 monoADS (symptom onset [mean] = 14.0 and 6.9 years) and 36 control participants were included; 75%/56%/58% were female, with mean ages at stool sample = 16.5/13.8/15.1 years, respectively. Nine MS cases (28%) were DMD‐naïve. Although microbiota diversity (alpha, beta) did not differ between participants (p > 0.1), taxa‐level and gut community networks did. MS (vs. monoADS) exhibited > fourfold higher relative abundance of the superphylum Patescibacteria (aRR = 4.2;95%CI:1.6–11.2, p = 0.004, Q = 0.01), and lower abundances of short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA)‐producing Lachnospiraceae (Anaerosporobacter) and Ruminococcaceae (p, Q < 0.05). DMD‐naïve MS cases were depleted for Clostridiales vadin‐BB60 (unnamed species) versus either DMD‐exposed, controls (p, Q < 0.01), or monoADS (p = 0.001, Q = 0.06) and exhibited altered community connectedness (p < 10−9 Kruskal–Wallis), with SCFA‐producing taxa underrepresented. Consistent taxa‐level findings from an independent US Network of Pediatric MS Centers case/control (n = 51/42) cohort included >eightfold higher abundance for Candidatus Stoquefichus and Tyzzerella (aRR = 8.8–12.8, p < 0.05) in MS cases and 72%–80% lower abundance of SCFA‐producing Ruminococcaceae‐NK4A214 (aRR = 0.38–0.2, p ≤ 0.01). Interpretation Gut microbiota community structure, function and connectivity, and not just individual taxa, are of likely importance in MS.

Abstract
Sirtuins, a class III histone/protein deacetylase, is a central regulator of metabolic function and cellular stress response. This plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic syndromes, and cardiovascular disease. Sirtuins regulate biological and cellular processes, for instance, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid and fatty acid oxidation, oxidative stress, gene transcriptional activity, apoptosis, inflammatory response, DNA repair mechanism, and autophagic cell degradation, which are known components for the progression of the neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Emerging evidence suggests that sirtuins are the useful molecular targets against NDDs like, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Huntington's Disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). However, the exact mechanism of neuroprotection mediated through sirtuins remains unsettled. The manipulation of sirtuins activity with its modulators, calorie restriction (CR), and micro RNAs (miR) is a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of NDDs. Herein, we reviewed the current putative therapeutic role of sirtuins in regulating synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions, which are mediated through the different molecular phenomenon to prevent neurodegeneration. We also explained the implications of sirtuin modulators, and miR based therapies for the treatment of life-threatening NDDs.

Abstract
Neurological disorders following brain injuries and neurodegeneration are on the rise worldwide and cause disability and suffering in patients. It is crucial to explore novel neuroprotectants. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, is commonly used for anxiolysis, sedation and analgesia in clinical anaesthesia and critical care. Recent studies have shown that dexmedetomidine exerts protective effects on multiple organs. This review summarized and discussed the current neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine, as well as the underlying mechanisms. In preclinical studies, dexmedetomidine reduced neuronal injury and improved functional outcomes in several models, including hypoxia-induced neuronal injury, ischaemic-reperfusion injury, intracerebral haemorrhage, post-traumatic brain injury, anaesthetic-induced neuronal injury, substance-induced neuronal injury, neuroinflammation, epilepsy and neurodegeneration. Several mechanisms are associated with the neuroprotective function of dexmedetomidine, including neurotransmitter regulation, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, apoptotic pathway, autophagy, mitochondrial function and other cell signalling pathways. In summary, dexmedetomidine has the potential to be a novel neuroprotective agent for a wide range of neurological disorders.

Ann Hematol 2021; 100:2453-2462.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by decreased platelet count. While corticosteroids are a useful first-line therapy for ITP patients, their long-term effectiveness is limited, and the determinants of corticosteroid sensitivity in ITP patients remain largely unknown. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the mammalian sirtuin family, is related to the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids. Here, we investigate the contribution of the SIRT1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs12778366 and rs4746720 to ITP susceptibility. METHODS We recruited 330 ITP patients and 309 healthy controls from Han population, and performed genotyping of SIRT1 rs12778366 and rs4746720 using a MassARRAY system. The results were validated in another 55 ITP patients from ethnic minorities. RESULTS Using clinical data of patients and controls from Han polulation, including corticosteroid sensitivity, susceptibility, refractoriness, and severity, our results revealed that the CC/TC genotypes of SIRT1 rs12778366 were associated with a 2.034-fold increased risk of corticosteroid resistance compared to the homozygous major TT genotype (dominant, CC/TC vs. TT, OR = 2.034, 95% CI = 1.039-3.984, p = 0.038). In contrast, the CC/CT genotype of SIRT1 rs4746720 showed a 0.560-fold decreased risk of corticosteroid resistance (dominant, 95% CI = 0.321-0.976, OR = 0.560, p = 0.041). The C allele substitute in SIRT1 rs12778366 was significantly associated with the corticosteroid sensitivity of ITP patients (p = 0.021). The similar results were obtained in minority ITP patients. CONCLUSION This study indicates that SIRT1 rs12778366 and rs4746720 may be genetic factors related to corticosteroid sensitivity in ITP patients.

Abstract
Metabolism is dynamically regulated to accompany immune cell function, and altered immunometabolism can result in impaired immune responses. Concomitantly, the pharmacological manipulation of metabolic processes offers an opportunity for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory disorders. The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical metabolic intermediate that serves as enzyme cofactor in redox reactions, and is also used as a co‐substrate by many enzymes such as sirtuins, adenosine diphosphate ribose transferases and synthases. Through these activities, NAD+ metabolism regulates a broad spectrum of cellular functions such as energy metabolism, DNA repair, regulation of the epigenetic landscape and inflammation. Thus, the manipulation of NAD+ availability using pharmacological compounds such as NAD+ precursors can have immune‐modulatory properties in inflammation. Here, we discuss how the NAD+ metabolism contributes to the immune response and inflammatory conditions, with a special focus on multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel diseases and inflammageing.

Abstract
Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) degeneration is an essential pathological basis of intervertebral disc diseases, and autologous cell transplantation is a means of regeneration of NPCs. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of autologous facet joint chondrocytes (CHs) with Sirtuin 1 (sirt1)-overexpression on NPCs degeneration. We used human NPCs and CHs isolated from the patients' tissue and transduced CHs with the plasmid vector to overexpress the sirt1 gene. Further, NPCs were seeded as monolayers and treated with IL-1β to obtain the degeneration, and the sirt1-overexpressed CHs (sirt1-CHs) in the transwell insert were co-cultured in the same well. The NPCs' degenerated degree was determined by the levels of living cells, proliferation, p16, and collagen I/II, and aggrecan expression at the time point of 1, 3, or 5 days. Besides, the ROS accumulation, antioxidative enzymes, sirt1, and inflammatory factors gene expression were also tested. After IL-1β treatment, when co-cultured with sirt1-CHs, NPCs accumulated more living cells, proliferation, collagen II, aggrecan, but less p16 and collagen I expression than cultured without sirt1-CHs. Additionally, SOD1, CAT, and TIMP4 mRNA were protected, and the production of TNF-α, IL-6, MMP3, and ROS were alleviated with the presence of sirt1-CHs. Thus, co-culture with sirt1-CHs delays NPCs' degeneration via the suppression of ROS accumulation and inflammatory response. Transplanting autologous CHs with sirt1-overexpressed into the NP tissue might be a novel treatment for intervertebral disc degeneration.

Abstract
Introduction Sirtuin1 (SIRT1), one of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases, is proved to be neuroprotective in aging diseases, but its effect on neuronal apoptosis has not been clarified. To investigate the role of SIRT1 in inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, SIRT1 was interfered or overexpressed in cortical neurons. Methods We exerted overloading laminar shear stress with 10 dyn/cm2 for 4, 8, and 12 h on neurons to cause cortical neuronal apoptosis, and the apoptosis percentage was tested by TUNEL assay. The adenovirus plasmids containing SIRT1 RNA interference or SIRT1 wild type gene were transfected into neurons before shear stress loading. SIRT1 mRNA and protein level were tested by Real-time PCR, immunofluorescence and western blots assay. Results SIRT1 was primarily expressed in nucleus of cortical neurons, and its mRNA level was significantly increased after 4 h stimulation. SIRT1 RNAi cortical neurons had higher TUNEL positive cells, while SIRT1 overexpression significantly decreased the percentage of died cells induced by shear stress compared to control group. Conclusions SIRT1 plays a neuroprotective role in shear stress induced apoptosis and could be as potential pharmacological targets against neuronal degeneration in future.

Abstract
Sirtuins belong to the class III family of NAD-dependent histone deacetylases (HDAC) and are involved in diverse physiological processes that range from regulation of metabolism and endocrine function to coordination of immunity and cellular responses to stress. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is the most well-studied family member and has been shown to be critically involved in epigenetics, immunology, and endocrinology. The versatile roles of SIRT1 include regulation of energy sensing metabolic homeostasis, deacetylation of histone and non-histone proteins in numerous tissues, neuro-endocrine regulation via stimulation of hypothalamus-pituitary axes, synthesis and maintenance of reproductive hormones via steroidogenesis, maintenance of innate and adaptive immune system via regulation of T- and B-cell maturation, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Moreover, SIRT1 is an appealing target in various disease contexts due to the promise of pharmacological and/or natural modulators of SIRT1 activity within the context of endocrine and immune-related disease models. In this review we aim to provide a broad overview on the role of SIRT1 particularly within the context of endocrinology and immunology.

Abstract
Over the past few decades several attempts have been made to introduce a potential and promising therapy for Multiple sclerosis (MS). Calorie restriction (CR) is a dietary manipulation to reduce calorie intake which has been shown to improve neuroprotection and attenuate neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we evaluated the effect of 33% CR regimen for 4 weeks on the remyelination capacity of Cuprizone (CPZ) induced demyelination in a mouse model of MS. Results showed that CR induced a significant increase in motor coordination and balance performance in CPZ mice. Also, luxol fast blue (LFB) staining showed that CR regimen significantly improved the remyelination in the corpus callosum of CPZ + CR mice compared to the CPZ group. In addition, CR regimen significantly increased the transcript expression levels of BDNF, Sox2, and Sirt1 in the corpus callosum of CPZ mice, while decreasing the p53 levels. Moreover, CR regimen significantly decreased the apoptosis rate. Furthermore, astrogliosis (GFAP + astrocytes) and microgliosis (Iba-1 + microglia) were significantly decreased by CR regimen while oligodendrogenesis (Olig2+) and Sirt1 + cell expression were significantly increased in the corpus callosum of CPZ + CR mice compared to the CPZ group. In conclusion, CR regimen can promote remyelination potential in a CPZ-demyelinating mouse model of MS by increasing oligodendrocyte generation while decreasing their apoptosis.

Olive Leaf Polyphenols Attenuate the Clinical Course of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis and Provide Neuroprotection by Reducing Oxidative Stress, Regulating Microglia and SIRT1, and Preserving Myelin Integrity. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:6125638.

Abstract
Numerous evidences suggest that plant polyphenols may have therapeutic benefits in regulating oxidative stress and providing neuroprotection in many neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). However, these mechanisms are not yet completely understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of olive leaf polyphenols on oxidative stress through oxidation marker level and activity (TBARS, SOD, and GPX) and their protein expression (SOD1, SOD2, and GPX1), as well as the protein expression of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and microglia markers (Iba-1, CD206, and iNOS) and myelin integrity (proteolipid protein expression) in the brain of rats with induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and subjected to olive leaf therapy. Experiments were performed in male EAE DA rats, which were randomly divided into 2 main groups: EAE groups treated with the therapy of olive leaf (EAE+TOL) and untreated EAE control groups. The EAE treated groups consumed olive leaf tea instead of drinking water (ad libitum) from the beginning to the end of the experiment. In addition, olive leaf extract was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) for the 10 continuous days and started on the 8th day after EAE induction. The clinical course was monitored in both groups until the 30th day after EAE induction. Our results demonstrated that TOL attenuated the clinical course of EAE; reduced the oxidative stress (by decreasing the concentration of MDA); upregulated antioxidant enzymes (SOD1, SOD2, and GPX1), SIRT1 (overall and microglial), and anti-inflammatory M2 microglia; downregulated proinflammatory M1 type; and preserved myelin integrity. These data support the idea that TOL may be an effective therapeutic approach for treating MS and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
To investigate the neuroprotective role of silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) in Alzheimer disease (AD), brain tissues from patients with AD and APP/PS1 mice as well as primary rat neurons exposed to oligomers of amyloid-β peptide were examined. The animals were treated with resveratrol (RSV) or suramin for 2 months. Cell cultures were treated with RSV, suramin, and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) stimulator ZLN005. Cells were transiently transfected with PGC-1α silencing RNA. The level of SIRT1 in brain tissues from patients with AD and APP/PS1 mice, including nuclear and mitochondrial proteins, as well as in primary neurons exposed to oligomers of amyloid-β peptide, was decreased. Overexpression of APP/PS1 impaired learning and memory of mice; produced more senile plaques, disrupted membranes, and resulted in broken or absent cristae of mitochondria in the brain; decreased levels of A disintegrin and metallopeptidase domain 10, beta-secretase 2, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1, PGC-1α, and NAD+; and increased levels of beta-secretase 1 and apoptosis. Interestingly, these changes were attenuated significantly by RSV treatment but enhanced by suramin administration. By activating PGC-1α but inhibiting SIRT1, apoptotic cell death was significantly decreased; however, by activating SIRT1 but inhibiting PGC-1α with small interfering PGC-1α, these levels remained unchanged. These findings indicate that SIRT1 may protect against AD-associated neurotoxicity, which might involve PGC-1α regulation.

Nanocatalytic activity of clean-surfaced, faceted nanocrystalline gold enhances remyelination in animal models of multiple sclerosis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:1936. [PMID: 32041968 PMCID: PMC7010780 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58709-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 01/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Development of pharmacotherapies that promote remyelination is a high priority for multiple sclerosis (MS), due to their potential for neuroprotection and restoration of function through repair of demyelinated lesions. A novel preparation of clean-surfaced, faceted gold nanocrystals demonstrated robust remyelinating activity in response to demyelinating agents in both chronic cuprizone and acute lysolecithin rodent animal models. Furthermore, oral delivery of gold nanocrystals improved motor functions of cuprizone-treated mice in both open field and kinematic gait studies. Gold nanocrystal treatment of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in culture resulted in oligodendrocyte maturation and expression of myelin differentiation markers. Additional in vitro data demonstrated that these gold nanocrystals act via a novel energy metabolism pathway involving the enhancement of key indicators of aerobic glycolysis. In response to gold nanocrystals, co-cultured central nervous system cells exhibited elevated levels of the redox coenzyme nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), elevated total intracellular ATP levels, and elevated extracellular lactate levels, along with upregulation of myelin-synthesis related genes, collectively resulting in functional myelin generation. Based on these preclinical studies, clean-surfaced, faceted gold nanocrystals represent a novel remyelinating therapeutic for multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that usually occurs with exacerbations and remissions in young adults, affects the central nervous system white matter in multiple localization, and is thought to be the result of complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors, the most common form is relapsing-remitting MS. Forkhead transcription factors O class (FOXO) are responsible for the regulation of various cellular processes including cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA repair, cellular resistance and metabolism. DNA methylation is such an epigenetic change and has been shown to be associated with almost any biological process. The aim of our study to show the relation between the genetic variants of FOXO3a (rs2253310 rs4966936) and FOXO1 (rs3900833, rs4581585) and global DNA methylation in RRMS. We analyzed DNA obtained from 79 RRMS patients and 104 healthy individuals by PCR-RFLP method for the detection of genetic variants. For the determination of global DNA methylation, results were obtained using ELISA method. The data were evaluated statistically. As a result of our analysis; global DNA methylation is higher in RRMS patients compared to control individuals and it can be effective on the disease. In addition, it has been determined that variants of FOXO3a (rs2253310, rs4966936) and FOXO1 (rs3900833), which have been genotyped, may be effective in disease pathogenesis. These results suggest that DNAmethylation and FOXO gene variants may be effective in neuronal loss in RRMS.

Abstract
SIRT1, a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, protects neurons in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegenerative disease. We have previously described a neuroprotective effect by SIRT1 independent of its catalytic activity. To confirm this conclusion we tested a panel of SIRT1 deletion mutant constructs, designated Δ1–Δ10, in cerebellar granule neurons induced to undergo apoptosis by low potassium treatment. We find that deletions of its N-terminal, those lacking portions of the catalytic domain, as well as one that lacks the ESA (Essential for SIRT1 Activity) motif, are as protective as wild-type SIRT1. In contrast, deletion of the region spanning residues 542–609, construct Δ8, substantially reduced the neuroprotective activity of SIRT1. As observed with LK-induced apoptosis, all SIRT1 constructs except Δ8 protect neurons against mutant huntingtin toxicity. Although its own catalytic activity is not required, neuroprotection by SIRT1 is abolished by inhibitors of Class I HDACs as well as by knockdown of endogenous HDAC1. We find that SIRT1 interacts with HDAC1 and this interaction is greatly increased by deleting regions of SIRT1 necessary for its catalytic activity. However, SIRT1-mediated protection is not dependent on HDAC1 deacetylase activity. Although other studies have described that catalytic activity of SIRT1 mediates is neuroprotective effect, our study suggests that in cerebellar granule neurons its deacetylase activity is not important and that HDAC1 contributes to the neuroprotective effect of SIRT1.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase that plays significant roles in the regulation of lifespan, metabolism, memory, and circadian rhythms and in the mechanisms of many diseases. However, methods of monitoring the pharmacodynamics of SIRT1-targeted drugs are limited to blood sampling because of the invasive nature of biopsies. For the noninvasive monitoring of the spatial and temporal dynamics of SIRT1 expression-activity in vivo by PET-CT-MRI, we developed a novel substrate-type radiotracer, [18F]-2-fluorobenzoylaminohexanoicanilide (2-[18F]BzAHA). PET-CT-MRI studies in rats demonstrated increased accumulation of 2-[18F]BzAHA-derived radioactivity in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, and locus coeruleus, consistent with autoradiographic and immunofluorescent (IMF) analyses of brain-tissue sections. Pretreatment with the SIRT1 specific inhibitor, EX-527 (5 mg/kg, ip), resulted in about a 20% reduction of 2-[18F]BzAHA-derived-radioactivity accumulation in these structures. In vivo imaging of SIRT1 expression-activity should facilitate studies that improve the understanding of SIRT1-mediated regulation in the brain and aid in the development and clinical translation of SIRT1-targeted therapies.

A novel small-molecule activator of Sirtuin-1 induces autophagic cell death/mitophagy as a potential therapeutic strategy in glioblastoma. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:767. [PMID: 29991742 PMCID: PMC6039470 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0799-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2018] [Revised: 05/31/2018] [Accepted: 06/13/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), the mammalian ortholog of yeast Sir2p, is well known to be a highly conserved NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase that has been emerging as a key cancer target. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved, multi-step lysosomal degradation process, has been implicated in cancer. Accumulating evidence has recently revealed that SIRT1 may act as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, and thus activating SIRT1 would represent a possible therapeutic strategy. Thus, in our study, we identified that SIRT1 was a key prognostic factor in brain cancer based upon The Cancer Genome Atlas and tissue microarray analyses. Subsequently, we screened a series of potential small-molecule activators of SIRT1 from Drugbank, and found the best candidate compound F0911-7667 (hereafter, named Comp 5), which showed a good deacetylase activity for SIRT1 rather than other Sirtuins. In addition, we demonstrated that Comp 5-induced autophagic cell death via the AMPK-mTOR-ULK complex in U87MG and T98G cells. Interestingly, Comp 5-induced mitophagy by the SIRT1–PINK1–Parkin pathway. Further iTRAQ-based proteomics analyses revealed that Comp 5 could induce autophagy/mitophagy by downregulating 14-3-3γ, catalase, profilin-1, and HSP90α. Moreover, we showed that Comp 5 had a therapeutic potential on glioblastoma (GBM) and induced autophagy/mitophagy by activating SIRT1 in vivo. Together, these results demonstrate a novel small-molecule activator of SIRT1 that induces autophagic cell death/mitophagy in GBM cells, which would be utilized to exploit this compound as a leading drug for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Refractory ischemic ulcers that occur in patients with diabetes present a major clinical challenge. Embryonic artery cluster of differentiation 133+ cells (EACCs) may promote the healing of diabetic ulcers; however, the high glucose environment in the diabetic ulcers decreases the survival rate of transplanted EACCs and inhibit their biological function. Furthermore, microcirculation in diabetic ischemic ulcers is impaired, which inhibits the beneficial effect of EACCs. In the current study, the Sirt1 agonist SRT1720 was selected as a therapeutic drug and loaded into a dressing composed of PLGA, collagen and silk (PCSS) formed using electrospinning technology. EACCs were seeded onto the PCSS dressing and this was used to treat diabetic ulcers. The results indicated that SRT1720 promotes the proliferation of EACCs, enhances the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A, interluekin 8 and basic fibroblast growth factor, and inhibits the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α. Furthermore, SRT1720 promoted the paracrine function of EACCs and promoted the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. PCSS induced the steady release of SRT1720 over a 15-day period and PCSS seeded with EACCs (PCSS-EACCs) were transplanted into the diabetic ischemic ulcers of mice with diabetes. The results of these experiments indicated that angiogenesis and the healing of diabetic ischemic ulcers was significantly improved following the transplantation of PCSS-EACCs. Therefore, PCSS-EACCs may be a novel and effective treatment for diabetic ischemic ulcers.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, collectively referred to as niacin, are nutritional precursors of the bioactive molecules nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD and NADP are important cofactors for most cellular redox reactions, and as such are essential to maintain cellular metabolism and respiration. NAD also serves as a cosubstrate for a large number of ADP-ribosylation enzymes with varied functions. Among the NAD-consuming enzymes identified to date are important genetic and epigenetic regulators, e.g., poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases and sirtuins. There is rapidly growing knowledge of the close connection between dietary niacin intake, NAD(P) availability, and the activity of NAD(P)-dependent epigenetic regulator enzymes. It points to an exciting role of dietary niacin intake as a central regulator of physiological processes, e.g., maintenance of genetic stability, and of epigenetic control mechanisms modulating metabolism and aging. Insight into the role of niacin and various NAD-related diseases ranging from cancer, aging, and metabolic diseases to cardiovascular problems has shifted our view of niacin as a vitamin to current views that explore its potential as a therapeutic.

Abstract
Meat and vitamin B3 - nicotinamide - intake was high during hunter-gatherer times. Intake then fell and variances increased during and after the Neolithic agricultural revolution. Health, height, and IQ deteriorated. Low dietary doses are buffered by 'welcoming' gut symbionts and tuberculosis that can supply nicotinamide, but this co-evolved homeostatic metagenomic strategy risks dysbioses and impaired resistance to pathogens. Vitamin B3 deficiency may now be common among the poor billions on a low-meat diet. Disease transitions to non-communicable inflammatory disorders (but longer lives) may be driven by positive 'meat transitions'. High doses of nicotinamide lead to reduced regulatory T cells and immune intolerance. Loss of no longer needed symbiotic 'old friends' compounds immunological over-reactivity to cause allergic and auto-immune diseases. Inhibition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide consumers and loss of methyl groups or production of toxins may cause cancers, metabolic toxicity, or neurodegeneration. An optimal dosage of vitamin B3 could lead to better health, but such a preventive approach needs more equitable meat distribution. Some people may require personalised doses depending on genetic make-up or, temporarily, when under stress.
