Abstract
We studied the effect of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) inhibitor aminoguanidine on the behavioral effects of chronic perinatal caffeine exposure. Administration of caffeine in the prenatal and early postnatal periods led to the development of anxiolytic, stimulating, and analgesic effects. Administration of aminoguanidine attenuated the anxiolytic and stimulating effects and potentiated the analgesic effect of perinatal administration of caffeine. Chronic perinatal administration of caffeine leads to significant changes in the level of anxiety, motor activity, and pain sensitivity, and inhibition of iNOS has a pronounced multidirectional effect on these effects.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:1090958. [PMID: 36582607 PMCID: PMC9792485 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1090958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The cblC type methylmalonic acidemia is the most common methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) in China. The biochemical characteristics of this disease include elevated methylmalonic acid and homocysteine (HCY), increased propionylcarnitine (C3), decreased free carnitine (C0). In this study, we aimed to clarify the roles of these biomarkers in cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment and evaluate the capacity of methylmalonic acid in different fluids or exosomes to distinguish cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment. Methods 15 non-inherited hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) patients, 42 cblC-MMA patients and 57 age- and sex-matched healthy children were recruited in this study. The levels of HCY were detected by an automatic immune analyzer. The levels of acylcarnitines and methylmalonic acid were detected by tandem mass spectrometer. Results The main findings were all biomarkers as HCY, acylcarnitines and methylmalonic acid had capacities for distinguishing patients with cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment from healthy children. The methylmalonic acid in different fluids or exosomes had good performances for distinguishing patients with cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment from HHcy patients. The methylmalonic acid in serum exosomes and neuronal-derived exosomes were able to distinguishing cblC-MMA patients with cognitive impairment from patients without cognitive impairment. The methylmalonic acid in neuronal-derived exosomes might be helpful to evaluate the severity of cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment. Discussion Methylmalonic acid levels in serum exosomes, especially in serum neuronal-derived exosomes, serve as potential biomarkers for distinguishing cblC-MMA induced cognitive impairment.

Abstract
We studied the effect of inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine on learning and spatial memory in rats exposed to long-term administration to caffeine during the prenatal and early postnatal periods. The rats perinatally receiving caffeine demonstrated high learning ability in the Morris water maze. At the same time, the ability to remember the location of the hidden platform in the trial probe in these rats was reduced in comparison with that of the control group rats perinatally receiving water. Administration of aminoguanidine to rats under conditions of perinatal exposure to caffeine significantly improved the parameters of spatial learning and memory. Thus, inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase has a beneficial effect on the cognitive functions in offspring perinatally receiving caffeine.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Magnolol on Alzheimer's disease (AD). After the model of streptozotocin-induced AD mice with brain insulin resistance was established, the mice were treated with Magnolol or miR-200c antagomiR. The abilities of ambulations, rearings, discrimination, spatial learning, and memory were evaluated by open-field test (OFT), novel object recognition (NOR), and morris water maze (MWM) tests. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and miR-200c in the mice hippocampus were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot, or Quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction. In AD mice model, streptozotocin induced the locomotor impairment and cognitive deficit, up-regulated levels of MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP, while down-regulated levels of GSH, SOD, and miR-200c. Magnolol increased the rearings numbers and discrimination index of AD mice in OFT and NOR tests. Magnolol increased the number of entries in the target quadrant and time spent in the target quadrant and decreased the escape latency of AD mice in the MWM test. Magnolol also down-regulated the levels of MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP, and up-regulated the levels of GSH, SOD, and miR-200c in the hippocampus tissues of AD mice. However, miR-200c antagomiR did the opposite and further offset the effects of the Magnolol on AD mice. Magnolol attenuated the locomotor impairment, cognitive deficit, and neuroinflammatory in AD mice with brain insulin resistance via up-regulating miR-200c.

Neuroimmunomodulation 2021; 28:178-186. [PMID: 34340239 DOI: 10.1159/000511590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is the most common organic acidemia in children. Many patients with MMA suffered from cognitive impairments. The aim of this study was to identify the significance of cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers in MMA-induced cognitive impairment. METHODS We enrolled 64 children with combined MMA and homocystinuria and 64 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Participants were subsequently classified as with or without cognitive impairments using a uniform neuropsychological assessment test. Serum samples were collected. The serum levels of cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers were measured using the ELISA or chemical methods. RESULTS Compared to control group, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) in the MMA patients increased markedly (p < 0.05); glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased obviously (p < 0.01). The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, NO, and MDA in the serum were negatively associated with DQ or IQ scores. The levels of GSH and SOD in the serum were positively correlated with DQ or IQ scores. After receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, NO was the most useful individual marker for distinguishing the cognitive dysfunction, corresponding to the area under ROC curve (AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.74-0.91), sensitivity of 76.60%, and specificity of 80.25%. GSH and MDA were also useful for diagnosis of MMA-induced cognitive dysfunction, corresponding to the AUC of 0.80 (95% CI, 0.70-0.89), and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.63-0.82), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of GSH were 72.34 and 80.25%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MDA were 85.11 and 51.85%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The high-concentration methylmalonic acid in the blood induced immune cells to release pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. These cytokines and high-concentration methylmalonic acid stimulated the immune cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The serum methylmalonic acid, cytokines, ROS, and RNS were across the blood-brain barrier and induced cognitive impairment. The small molecule substances such as serum NO, MDA, and GSH participated in the process of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress injury induced by MMA and could be useful for distinguishing the cognitive impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indole-3-guanylhydrazone hydrochloride (LQM01) is a new derivative of aminoguanidine hydrochloride, an aromatic aminoguanidine. METHODS Mice were treated with LQM01 (5, 10, 25 or 50 mg/kg, i.p.), vehicle (0.9% saline i.p.) or a standard drug. The mice were subjected to carrageenan-induced pleurisy, abdominal writhing induced by acetic acid, the formalin test and the hot-plate test. The model of non-inflammatory chronic muscle pain induced by saline acid was also used. Mice from the chronic protocol were assessed for withdrawal threshold, muscle strength and motor coordination. LQM01 or vehicle treated mice were evaluated for Fos protein. RESULTS LQM01 inhibits TNF-α and IL-1β production, as well as leukocyte recruitment during inflammation process. The level of IL-10 in LQM01-treated mice increased in pleural fluid. In addition, LQM01 decreased the nociceptive behavior in the acetic acid induced writhing test, the formalin test (both phases) and increased latency time on the hot-plate. LQM01 treatment also decreased mechanical hyperalgesia in mice with chronic muscle pain, with no changes in muscle strength and motor coordination. LQM01 reduced the number of Fos positive cells in the superficial dorsal horn. This compound exhibited antioxidant properties in in vitro assays. CONCLUSIONS LQM01 has an outstanding anti-inflammatory and analgesic profile, probably mediated through a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines release, increase in IL-10 production and reduction in neuron activity in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in mice. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Beneficial effects of LQM01 suggest that it has some important clinical features and can play a role in the management of 'dysfunctional pain' and inflammatory diseases.
