Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prolonged sleep deprivation is known to have detrimental effects on the hippocampus during development or in adulthood. Furthermore, it is well-established that sleep deprivation disrupts energy metabolism broadly. SIRT6 is a critical regulator of energy metabolism in both central and peripheral tissues. This study aims to investigate the role of SIRT6 in modulating hippocampal neurogenesis following sleep deprivation during development, and elucidate the underlying mechanism. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged three weeks, were subjected to 2 weeks of sleep deprivation using the modified multiple platform method. Metabolomic profiling was carried out using the liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒ESI‒MS/MS). To investigate the role of SIRT6 in energy metabolism, the rats were administered with either the SIRT6-specific inhibitor, OSS128167, or SIRT6-overexpressing adeno-associated virus (AAV). Hippocampal neurogenesis was assessed by immunostaining with markers for neural stem cells (SOX2), immature neurons [doublecortin (DCX)] and newborn cells (BrdU). Sparse labeling of adult neurons was used to determine the density of dendritic spines in the dentate gyrus (DG). The Y-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed to evaluate the spatial and recognition memory. SIRT6 expression was examined using immunofluorescence and western blotting (WB). The inhibition of SIRT6 was confirmed by assessing the acetylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (aceH3K9), a well-known substrate of SIRT6, through WB. RESULTS Sleep deprivation for a period of two weeks leads to inhibited hippocampal neurogenesis, reduced density of dendritic spines in the DG, and impaired memory, accompanied by decreased SIRT6 expression and disrupted energy metabolism. Similar to sleep deprivation, administration of OSS128167 significantly decreased energy metabolism, leading to reduced neurogenesis and memory dysfunction. Notably, the abnormal hippocampal energy metabolism, neurogenetic pathological changes and memory dysfunction caused by sleep deprivation were alleviated by SIRT6 overexpression in the DG. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that SIRT6 plays a critical role in maintaining energy metabolism homeostasis in the hippocampus after sleep deprivation, promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing memory during development.

Wu N, Liu H, Lv X, Sun Y, Jiang H. Neobaicalein prevents isoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment in neonatal mice via regulating CREB1. Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2023; 78:100201. [PMID: 37120983 PMCID: PMC10173397 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2023.100201] [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: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Isoflurane (ISO) is widely used in the clinic and research. The authors aimed to explore whether Neobaicalein (Neob) could protect neonatal mice from ISO-induced cognitive damage. METHOD The open field test, Morris water maze test, and tail suspension test was performed to assess the cognitive function in mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate inflammatory-related protein concentrations. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess Ionized calcium-Binding Adapter molecule-1 (IBA-1) expression. Hippocampal neuron viability was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Double immunofluorescence staining was employed to confirm the interaction between proteins. Western blotting was used to assess protein expression levels. RESULTS Neob notably improved cognitive function and exhibited anti-inflammatory effects; moreover, under iso-treatment, it exhibited neuroprotective effects. Furthermore, Neob suppressed interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 levels and upregulated interleukin-10 levels in ISO-treated mice. Neob significantly mitigated iso-induced increases in IBA-1-positive cell numbers of the hippocampus in neonatal mice. Furthermore, it inhibited ISO-induced neuronal apoptosis. Mechanistically, Neob was observed to upregulate cAMP Response Element Binding protein (CREB1) phosphorylation and protected hippocampal neurons from ISO-mediated apoptosis. Moreover, it rescued ISO-induced abnormalities of synaptic protein. CONCLUSIONS Neob prevented ISO anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment by suppressing apoptosis and inflammation through upregulating CREB1.

Abstract
Astrocytes are important for maintaining cholesterol metabolism, glutamate uptake, and neurotransmission. Indeed, inflammatory processes and neurodegeneration contribute to the altered morphology, gene expression, and function of astrocytes. Astrocytes, in collaboration with numerous microRNAs, regulate brain cholesterol levels as well as glutamatergic and inflammatory signaling, all of which contribute to general brain homeostasis. Neural electrical activity, synaptic plasticity processes, learning, and memory are dependent on the astrocyte-neuron crosstalk. Here, we review the involvement of astrocytic microRNAs that potentially regulate cholesterol metabolism, glutamate uptake, and inflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The interaction between astrocytic microRNAs and long non-coding RNA and transcription factors specific to astrocytes also contributes to the pathogenesis of AD. Thus, astrocytic microRNAs arise as a promising target, as AD conditions are a worldwide public health problem. This review examines novel therapeutic strategies to target astrocyte dysfunction in AD, such as lipid nanodiscs, engineered G protein-coupled receptors, extracellular vesicles, and nanoparticles.

A signalling pathway for transcriptional regulation of sleep amount in mice. Nature 2022; 612:519-527. [PMID: 36477534 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-022-05510-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In mice and humans, sleep quantity is governed by genetic factors and exhibits age-dependent variation1-3. However, the core molecular pathways and effector mechanisms that regulate sleep duration in mammals remain unclear. Here, we characterize a major signalling pathway for the transcriptional regulation of sleep in mice using adeno-associated virus-mediated somatic genetics analysis4. Chimeric knockout of LKB1 kinase-an activator of AMPK-related protein kinase SIK35-7-in adult mouse brain markedly reduces the amount and delta power-a measure of sleep depth-of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS). Downstream of the LKB1-SIK3 pathway, gain or loss-of-function of the histone deacetylases HDAC4 and HDAC5 in adult brain neurons causes bidirectional changes of NREMS amount and delta power. Moreover, phosphorylation of HDAC4 and HDAC5 is associated with increased sleep need, and HDAC4 specifically regulates NREMS amount in posterior hypothalamus. Genetic and transcriptomic studies reveal that HDAC4 cooperates with CREB in both transcriptional and sleep regulation. These findings introduce the concept of signalling pathways targeting transcription modulators to regulate daily sleep amount and demonstrate the power of somatic genetics in mouse sleep research.

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Postoperative Cognitive Impairment Induced by Anesthesia and Neuroinflammation. Cells 2022; 11:cells11192954.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment after surgery is a common problem, affects mainly the elderly, and can be divided into postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Both phenomena are accompanied by neuroinflammation; however, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment after anesthesia are not yet fully understood. Anesthesiological drugs can have a longer-term influence on protein transcription, thus, epigenetics is a possible mechanism that impacts on cognitive function. Epigenetic mechanisms may be responsible for long-lasting effects and may implicate novel therapeutic approaches. Hence, we here summarize the existing literature connecting postoperative cognitive impairment to anesthesia. It becomes clear that anesthetics alter the expression of DNA and histone modifying enzymes, which, in turn, affect epigenetic markers, such as methylation, histone acetylation and histone methylation on inflammatory genes (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6 or IL1 beta) and genes which are responsible for neuronal development (such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Neuroinflammation is generally increased after anesthesia and neuronal growth decreased. All these changes can induce cognitive impairment. The inhibition of histone deacetylase especially alleviates cognitive impairment after surgery and might be a novel therapeutic option for treatment. However, further research with human subjects is necessary because most findings are from animal models.

Modulation of Long-Term Potentiation by Gamma Frequency Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation in Transgenic Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease. Brain Sci 2021; 11:1532.

Abstract
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a neuromodulation procedure that is currently studied for the purpose of improving cognitive function in various diseases. A few studies have shown positive effects of tACS in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanism underlying tACS has not been established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of tACS in five familial AD mutation (5xFAD) mouse models. We prepared twenty 4-month-old mice and divided them into four groups: wild-type mice without stimulation (WT-NT group), wild-type mice with tACS (WT-T group), 5xFAD mice without stimulation (AD-NT group), and 5xFAD mice with tACS (AD-T group). The protocol implemented was as follows: gamma frequency 200 μA over the bilateral frontal lobe for 20 min over 2 weeks. The following tests were conducted: excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) recording, Western blot analysis (cyclic AMP response element-binding (CREB) proteins, phosphorylated CREB proteins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and parvalbumin) to examine the synaptic plasticity. The EPSP was remarkably increased in the AD-T group compared with in the AD-NT group. In the Western blot analysis, the differences among the groups were not significant. Hence, tACS can affect the long-lasting enhancement of synaptic transmission in mice models of AD.

Abstract
Neuroepigenetics, a new branch of epigenetics, plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Neuroepigenetics is associated with holistic neuronal function and helps in formation and maintenance of memory and learning processes. This includes neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative defects in which histone modification enzymes appear to play a crucial role. These modifications, carried out by acetyltransferases and deacetylases, regulate biologic and cellular processes such as apoptosis and autophagy, inflammatory response, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell-cycle progression and oxidative stress. Alterations in acetylation status of histone as well as non-histone substrates lead to transcriptional deregulation. Histone deacetylase decreases acetylation status and causes transcriptional repression of regulatory genes involved in neural plasticity, synaptogenesis, synaptic and neural plasticity, cognition and memory, and neural differentiation. Transcriptional deactivation in the brain results in development of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Mounting evidence implicates histone deacetylase inhibitors as potential therapeutic targets to combat neurologic disorders. Recent studies have targeted naturally-occurring biomolecules and micro-RNAs to improve cognitive defects and memory. Multi-target drug ligands targeting HDAC have been developed and used in cell-culture and animal-models of neurologic disorders to ameliorate synaptic and cognitive dysfunction. Herein, we focus on the implications of histone deacetylase enzymes in neuropathology, their regulation of brain function and plausible involvement in the pathogenesis of neurologic defects.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation plays an important role in anesthetic isoflurane-induced cognitive impairment. Roflumilast, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), has displayed a wide range of anti-inflammatory capacity in different types of cells and tissues. In the current study, we aimed to investigate whether roflumilast possesses a protective effect against isoflurane-induced insults in mouse primary astrocytes. Methods: Primary astrocytes were isolated from the cerebral cortices of immature rats. The production of NO was determined using DAF-FM DA staining assay. QRT-PCR and western blot were used to evaluate the expression levels of iNOS, COX-2, and BDNF in the astrocytes treated with different therapies. The gene expressions and concentrations of IL-6 and MCP-1 released by the astrocytes were detected using qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. The expression levels of phosphorylated CREB and PGE2 were determined using western blot and ELISA, respectively. H89 was introduced to evaluate the function of CREB. Recombinant human BDNF and ANA-12 were used to verify the role of BDNF. Results: The upregulated iNOS, excessive production of NO, IL-6, and MCP-1, and activated COX-2/PGE2 signaling pathways in the astrocytes induced by isoflurane were significantly reversed by the introduction of roflumilast, in a dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, we found that BDNF could be upregulated by roflumilast, which was verified to be related to the activation of CREB and blocked by H89 (a CREB inhibitor). In addition, the COX-2/PGE2 signaling pathway activated by isoflurane can be inactivated by recombinant human BDNF. Finally, the regulatory effect of roflumilast against the isoflurane-activated COX-2/PGE2 signaling pathway was significantly blocked by ANA-12, which is a BDNF inhibitor. Conclusion: Roflumilast might ameliorate isoflurane-induced inflammation in astrocytes via the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective The developing brain is vulnerable to the negative effects of anaesthetics. We aimed to investigate the effect of isoflurane and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on cognition. Methods A total of 64, ten days old rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: group O2 (oxygen group), group Iso (isoflurane group), group Iso-S (isoflurane+saline) and group Iso-PUFAs (isoflurane+intraperitoneal [IP] PUFAs emulsion). Rats in groups Iso, Iso-S and Iso-PUFAs were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane in 50% oxygen for 6 hours. Rats in group O2 breathed only 50% oxygen. Before anaesthesia, rats in group Iso-S were administered 0.5 mL isotonic and rats in group Iso-PUFAs were administered 5 mL kg-1 PUFAs emulsion by IP injection. The Morris water maze (MWM) test was performed on postnatal 28-33 days. Histological evaluation and immune histochemical staining (Bcl-2 antibody) were performed on postnatal day 11 on rat brains. Results As demonstrated by the reduction in the escape latency on days 3, 4 and 5 compared with day 1, all rats learned the task during the acquisition period. In contrast to others, rats in group Iso spent significantly lower time to find the platform on day 2 than on day 1 (p=0.034). No significant difference was found among the groups in terms of time spent in finding the platform. There were no significant differences in probe trials, histological features and Bcl-2 immunoreactivity among the groups. Conclusion Isoflurane did not cause cognitive dysfunction and neuronal death, and a single dose of PUFAs emulsion had no effect on cognition either.

Abstract
Previous research has shown that exposure to volatile anesthetics can induce acute neuroinflammation and neuroapoptopsis in neonatal rodents and that these events can lead to cognitive dysfunction at later stages. Isoflurane and sevoflurane are two of the most popular anesthetics used in the field of pediatrics. However, the relative impact of these two anesthetics on the developing brain at distinct time points after the induction of anesthesia has not been compared. In the present study, we exposed 7-day-old mice to clinically equivalent doses of isoflurane (1.5%) and sevoflurane (2.5%) for 4 h and then investigated consequential changes in the brains of these mice at six different time points. We analyzed the levels of proteins that are directly related to neuroapoptosis, neuroinflammation, synaptic function, and memory, in the brains of neonatal mice. Exposure of neonatal mice to isoflurane and sevoflurane resulted in acute neuronal apoptosis. Our analysis observed significant levels of neuroinflammation and changes in the expression levels of proteins associated with both synaptic transmission and memory in mice from the isoflurane group but not the sevoflurane group. Our results therefore indicate that isoflurane and sevoflurane induce differential effects in the brains of neonatal mice.

Neurotoxicology 2020; 81:395-405. [PMID: 33080273 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuro.2020.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Lead (Pb) is an environmental contaminant that primarily affects the central nervous system, particularly the developing brain. Recently, increasing evidence indicates the important roles of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in Pb-induced neurotoxicity. However, the precise molecular mechanisms involving HDAC4 remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of HDAC4 in Pb-induced neurotoxicity both in vivo and in vitro. In vitro study, PC12 cells were exposed to Pb (10 μM) for 24 h, then the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC4 were analyzed. In vivo study, pregnant rats and their female offspring were treated with lead (50 ppm) until postnatal day 30. Then the pups were sacrificed and the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC4 in the hippocampus were analyzed. The results showed that HDAC4 was significantly increased in both PC12 cells and rat hippocampus upon Pb exposure. Blockade of HDAC4 with either LMK-235 (an inhibitor of HDAC4) or shHDAC4 (HDAC4-knocking down plasmid) ameliorated the Pb-induced neurite outgrowth deficits. Interestingly, HDAC4 was aberrantly accumulated in the nucleus upon Pb exposure. By contrast, blocking the HDAC4 shuffling from the cytosol to the nucleus with ΔNLS2-HDAC4 (the cytosol-localized HDAC4 mutant) was able to rescue the neuronal impairment. In addition, Pb increased PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) expression which in turn influenced the subcellular localization of HDAC4 by dephosphorylation of specific serine/threonine residues. What's more, blockade of PP1 with PP1-knocking down construct (shPP1) ameliorated Pb-induced neurite outgrowth deficits. Taken together, nuclear accumulation of HDAC4 by PP1-mediated dephosphorylation involved in Pb-induced neurotoxicity. This study might provide a promising molecular target for medical intervention with environmental cues.

Resveratrol Mitigates Sevoflurane-Induced Neurotoxicity by the SIRT1-Dependent Regulation of BDNF Expression in Developing Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:9018624. [PMID: 32148659 PMCID: PMC7049870 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9018624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2019] [Revised: 12/14/2019] [Accepted: 01/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Various lines of evidence suggest that neonatal exposure to general anesthetics, especially repeatedly, results in neuropathological brain changes and long-term cognitive impairment. Although progress has been made in experimental models, the exact mechanism of GA-induced neurotoxicity in the developing brain remains to be clarified. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and cognitive performance, and its abnormal reduction is associated with cognitive dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the role of SIRT1 in GA-induced neurotoxicity is unclear to date. In this study, we found that the protein level of SIRT1 was inhibited in the hippocampi of developing mice exposed to sevoflurane. Furthermore, the SIRT1 inhibition in hippocampi was associated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) downregulation modulated by methyl-cytosine-phosphate-guanine–binding protein 2 (MeCP2) and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Pretreatment of neonatal mice with resveratrol nearly reversed the reduction in hippocampal SIRT1 expression, which increased the expression of BDNF in developing mice exposed to sevoflurane. Moreover, changes in the levels of CREB and MeCP2, which were considered to interact with BDNF promoter IV, were also rescued by resveratrol. Furthermore, resveratrol improved the cognitive performance in the Morris water maze test of the adult mice with exposure to sevoflurane in the neonatal stage, without changing motor function in the open field test. Taken together, our findings suggested that SIRT1 deficiency regulated BDNF signaling via regulation of the epigenetic activity of MeCP2 and CREB, and resveratrol might be a promising agent for mitigating sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in developing mice.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that inhalation anesthetics induce or increase the risk of cognitive impairment. GLYX-13 (rapastinel) acts on the glycine site of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and has been shown to enhance hippocampus-dependent learning and memory function. However, the mechanisms by which GLYX-13 affects learning and memory function are still unclear. In this study, we investigated these mechanisms in a mouse model of long-term anesthesia exposure. Mice were intravenously administered 1 mg/kg GLYX-13 at 2 hours before isoflurane exposure (1.5% for 6 hours). Cognitive function was assessed using the contextual fear conditioning test and the novel object recognition test. The mRNA expression and phosphorylated protein levels of NMDAR pathway components, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B(NR2B)-Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB), in the hippocampus were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR and western blot assay. Pretreatment with GLYX-13 ameliorated isoflurane exposure-induced cognitive impairment and restored NR2B, CaMKII and CREB mRNA and phosphorylated protein levels. Intracerebroventricular injection of KN93, a selective CaMKII inhibitor, significantly diminished the effect of GLYX-13 on cognitive function and NR2B, CaMKII and CREB levels in the hippocampus. Taken together, our findings suggest that GLYX-13 pretreatment alleviates isoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction by protecting against perturbation of the NR2B/CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway in the hippocampus. Therefore, GLYX-13 may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of anesthesia-induced cognitive dysfunction. This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to the Medical College of Nanjing University, China (approval No. 20171102) on November 20, 2017.

Abstract
Animal studies have demonstrated that multiple exposures to sevoflurane during the postnatal period lead to impaired synaptogenesis and cognitive deficits in adulthood. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a unique isoform of class II histone deacetylases (HDACs), mediates diverse cellular processes such as cell survival, inflammation, intracellular trafficking and protein degradation. Varieties of literature suggest the importance of HDAC6 in memory formation and abnormal neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate potential roles of HDAC6 in sevoflurane-induced developmental neurotoxicity. Postnatal day 7 (P7) rat pups were randomly assigned to control group and sevoflurane group (n = 6 for each group). They were exposed to 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen with or without 3% sevoflurane for 2 h daily for three consecutive days (P7, P8 and P9). Immediately after the last exposure, both hippocampi were harvested for detection of HDAC6 expression and activity. Next, P7 rat pups were divided into control group, sevoflurane group, sevoflurane + Tubastatin A, and Tubastatin A groups (n = 6 for each group in molecular experiments; n = 16 for each group in behavioral testing). A dose of 25 mg/kg body weight of Tubastatin A (a selective HDAC6 inhibitor) were administrated intraperitoneally 30 min prior to each sevoflurane exposure. After treatments, expression levels of synaptophysin and postsynaptic density 95 protein (PSD95) were quantified using Western blot, and synaptic ultrastructure was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Additional pups were raised until P49 to measure cognitive performance using the Morris water maze test. Our results demonstrated that multiple sevoflurane exposures enhanced HDAC6 expression and activity in hippocampi of the developing brain. Tubastatin A ameliorated sevoflurane-induced decreases in synaptophysin and PSD95 expression during development, as well as synaptic ultrastructural damage and cognitive deficits in adulthood. In conclusion, HDAC6 is involved in the developmental neurotoxicity caused by multiple sevoflurane exposures and its inhibition may prevent related damage.

Abstract
The brain undergoes several changes at structural, molecular, and cellular levels leading to alteration in its functions and these processes are primarily maintained by proteostasis in cells. However, an imbalance in proteostasis due to the abnormal accumulation of protein aggregates induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This event, in turn, activate the unfolded protein response; however, in most neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury, an uncontrolled unfolded protein response elicits memory dysfunction. Although the underlying signaling mechanism for impairment of memory function following induction of ER stress remains elusive, recent studies have highlighted that inactivation of a transcription factor, CREB, which is essential for synaptic function and memory formation, plays an essential role for ER stress-induced synaptic and memory dysfunction. In this review, current studies and most updated view on how ER stress affects memory function in both physiological and pathological conditions will be highlighted.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and the majority of the cases are ischemic stroke. However, it still lacks effective treatment except for thrombolytic therapy in an extremely narrow time window. Increased evidence suggests that histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) was dysregulated in ischemic stroke, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke and post-stroke recovery by affecting neuronal death, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis. Therefore, we aim to review the dysregulation of HDAC4 in ischemic stroke and the role of dysregulated HDAC4 in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, the therapeutic potential of modulating HDAC4 in ischemic stroke is discussed.

Abstract
Before birth and early in life, the developing brain is particularly sensitive to environmental and pharmacological influences. Increasing experimental evidence suggests that an association exists between exposure to anesthesia during a vulnerable period of brain development and subsequent poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood. Epigenetics, broadly defined as the regulation of gene expression without alterations of DNA sequence, has become a field of tremendous interest in neuroscience. In recent years, a growing body of literature suggests that anesthesia-induced long-term changes in gene transcription and functional deficits in learning and behavior later in life are mediated via epigenetic modifications. This brief review provides an overview of epigenetic mechanisms and highlights the emerging roles played by epigenetic dysfunctions in the processes of anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity in the developing brain. Epigenetic targeting of DNA methyltransferases and/or histone deacetylases may have some therapeutic value. Epigenetics may lead to the identification of novel markers that contribute toward considerable translational significance in the field of neuroprotection.

Abstract
Acetylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau promotes its polymerization into neurofibrillary tangles that are implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The gaseous neurotransmitter nitric oxide (NO) regulates cell signaling through the nitrosylation of proteins. We found that NO production and tau acetylation at Lys280 occurred in the brain tissue in mice and in cultured mouse cortical neurons in response to exposure to amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42), a peptide that is also implicated in AD. An increased abundance of NO facilitated the S-nitrosylation (SNO) of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). S-nitrosylated GAPDH (GAPDH-SNO) promoted the acetylation and activation of the acetyltransferase p300 and facilitated the nitrosylation and inactivation of the deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). The abundance of GAPDH-SNO was increased in postmortem brain samples from AD patients. Preventing the increase in GAPDH-SNO abundance in both cultured neurons and mice, either by overexpression of the nitrosylation mutant of GAPDH (GAPDH C150S) or by treatment with the GAPDH nitrosylation inhibitor CGP3466B (also known as omigapil), abrogated Aβ1-42-induced tau acetylation, memory impairment, and locomotor dysfunction in mice, suggesting that this drug might be repurposed to treat patients with AD.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that volatile anesthetic causes caspase-dependent neuroapoptosis and persistent cognitive deficits in young animals. Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) can trigger apoptosis by caspase-independent pathway. Whether isoflurane induces neuroapoptosis by activation of AIF and its possible mechanism are underdetermined. Rats at postnatal day 7 were exposed to 1.1% isoflurane for 4 h and the expression of AIF, cytochrome c, caspase-3, μ-calpain, m-calpain, Bcl-2 and Bax in the mitochondrial, cytosolic, and nuclear fraction, as well as the number of both AIF and TUNEL positive neurons in the cortices of rats were measured. Moreover, the effects of calpain inhibitor MDL-28170 or JNK inhibitor SP600125 on isoflurane-induced AIF release, caspase activation and cognitive deficits were assessed. We found isoflurane activated CytC-caspase-3 dependent apoptosis pathway mainly in the early phase (0-6 h after exposure). Moreover, isoflurane activated mitochondrial μ-calpain, induced AIF truncation during early phase and activated m-calpain, induced AIF release from the mitochondria to cytosol and translocation into the nucleus in the late phase (6-24 h after exposure). MDL-28170 attenuated the isoflurane-induced mitochondrial AIF truncation, release and nuclear translocation, but did not change the expression of cleaved-caspase-3 and mitochondrial Bax and Bcl-2 proteins. SP600125 attenuated isoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis by inhibiting both AIF and caspase-3 pathways and reduced cognitive impairment in neonatal rats. This is the first study to provide the evidence that isoflurane induced AIF-dependent neuroapoptosis by activation of mitochondrial μ-calpain and m-calpain in neonatal rats. JNK inhibition reversed isoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis and subsequent long-term neurocognitive impairment, acting via inhibiting activation of both AIF and caspase-3 pathways.
