Vagus nerve stimulation alleviated cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting pyroptosis via α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:54. [PMID: 35136042 PMCID: PMC8825823 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-00852-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Cumulative evidence suggests that pyroptosis, a new sort of programmed cell death, is closely related to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our previous studies have testified that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) was involved in many different neuroprotective and neuroplasticity pathways via α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAchR), a vital node of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway during cerebral I/R injury. We aimed to determine the neuroprotective effects of VNS through α7nAchR-mediated inhibition of pyroptosis. Focal cerebral ischemic stroke rat models were obtained by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 120 min. Expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome was evaluated using western blotting and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. The neurological deficit score, infarct volume, TUNEL staining findings, transmission electron microscopy findings, and expression of inflammatory cytokines were assessed 3 days after I/R injury. Our findings suggested that the protein expression levels of NLRP3, GSDMD-N, cleaved caspase-1, and ASC gradually increased until they peaked on day 3 after I/R injury. VNS inhibited the expression of pyroptosis-related molecules and decreased the number of pyroptotic cells and membrane pores. Administration of α7nAchR-antagonist and agonist helped in further assessment of the role of α7nAchR in pyroptosis. α7nAchR-agonist mimicked VNS’s neuroprotective effects on the improvement of neurological deficits, the reduction of infarct volumes, and the inhibition of neuronal pyroptosis after cerebral I/R injury. Conversely, the neuroprotection provided by VNS could be reversed by the administration of α7nAchR-antagonist. In conclusion, VNS-induced neuroprotection via inhibition of neuronal pyroptosis was α7nAchR-dependent, highlighting the pivotal role of α7nAChR in suppressing cellular pyroptosis and neuroinflammation. These findings may allow a better understanding of treatment principles for cerebral I/R injury.

Systemic Administration of α7-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Ligands Does Not Improve Renal Injury or Behavior in Mice With Advanced Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:642960. [PMID: 33928103 PMCID: PMC8076522 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.642960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a critical need for safe treatment options to control inflammation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) since the inflammation contributes to morbidity and mortality in advanced disease. Endogenous neuroimmune mechanisms like the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway can be targeted to modulate inflammation, but the ability to manipulate such pathways and reduce inflammation and end organ damage has not been fully explored in SLE. Positive allosteric modulators (PAM) are pharmacological agents that inhibit desensitization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), the main anti-inflammatory feature within the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, and may augment α7-dependent cholinergic tone to generate therapeutic benefits in SLE. In the current study, we hypothesize that activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway at the level of the α7-nAChR with systemic administration of a partial agonist, GTS-21, and a PAM, PNU-120596, would reduce inflammation, eliminating the associated end organ damage in a mouse model of SLE with advanced disease. Further, we hypothesize that systemic α7 ligands will have central effects and improve behavioral deficits in SLE mice. Female control (NZW) and SLE mice (NZBWF1) were administered GTS-21 or PNU-120596 subcutaneously via minipumps for 2 weeks. We found that the increased plasma dsDNA autoantibodies, splenic and renal inflammation, renal injury and hypertension usually observed in SLE mice with advanced disease at 35 weeks of age were not altered by GTS-21 or PNU-120596. The anxiety-like behavior presented in SLE mice was also not improved by GTS-21 or PNU-120596. Although no significant beneficial effects of α7 ligands were observed in SLE mice at this advanced stage, we predict that targeting this receptor earlier in the pathogenesis of the disease may prove to be efficacious and should be addressed in future studies.

Br J Pharmacol 2021; 178:1684-1704.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Targeting α7 nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) in neuroinflammatory disorders including acute ischaemic stroke holds significant therapeutic promise. However, therapeutically relevant signalling mechanisms remain unidentified. Activation of neuronal α7 nAChRs triggers ionotropic signalling, but there is limited evidence for it in immunoglial tissues. The α7 ligands which are effective in reducing acute ischaemic stroke damage promote α7 ionotropic activity, suggesting a link between their therapeutic effects for treating acute ischaemic stroke and activation of α7 conductive states. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH This hypothesis was tested using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of acute ischaemic stroke, NS6740, a known selective non-ionotropic agonist of α7 nAChRs and 4OH-GTS-21, a partial α7 agonist. NS6740-like ligands exhibiting low efficacy/potency for ionotropic activity will be referred to as non-ionotropic agonists or "metagonists". KEY RESULTS 4OH-GTS-21, used as a positive control, significantly reduced neurological deficits and brain injury after MCAO as compared to vehicle and NS6740. By contrast, NS6740 was ineffective in identical assays and reversed the effects of 4OH-GTS-21 when these compounds were co-applied. Electrophysiological recordings from acute hippocampal slices obtained from NS6740-injected animals demonstrated its remarkable brain availability and protracted effects on α7 nAChRs as evidenced by sustained (>8 h) alterations in α7 ionotropic responsiveness. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These results suggest that α7 ionotropic activity may be obligatory for therapeutic efficacy of α7 ligands after acute ischaemic stroke yet, highlight the potential for selective application of α7 ligands to disease states based on their mode of receptor activation.

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2021; 17:2599-2611.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after anesthesia and surgery (AS) is a common complication in the elderly population. A cholinergic-dependent signal, the alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), has been suggested to regulate cognitive processes in a variety of neurologic diseases. In the current study, we determined whether electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment ameliorates AS-induced POCD in aged rats, as well as the underlying mechanism. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (20 months old) were randomly assigned to the following 5 groups (n=12): vehicle; POCD (tibial fracture surgery); EA plus POCD; EA plus POCD and alpha-bungarotoxin (α-BGT); and POCD plus α-BGT groups. Alpha-bungarotoxin (1 μg/kg), a selective antagonist of α7-nAChR, was administrated via intraperitoneal injection before EA. Thirty days post-AS, the Morris water maze and a novel objective recognition test were used to evaluate cognitive function. Neuronal amount, apoptosis, microglial activation, percentage of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)- and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-positive microglia, and levels of HMGB-1 downstream factors, including NF-κB, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1β, were detected by Nissl staining, immunofluorescence, and Western blot assays. RESULTS EA pretreatment significantly increased crossing platform times and elevated the time with a novel object, restored the quantity of neurons, decreased TUNEL-positive neurons, alleviated activation of microglia, downregulated expression of HMGB1 and NF-κB in the microglia, and reduced levels of phosphor-NF-κB, IL-6, and IL-1β 35 days after AS, while α-BGT partially reversed these changes. CONCLUSION EA pretreatment improved AS-induced POCD in aged rats, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with inhibition of HMGB1-NF-κB via an α7-nAChR signal in the microglia.

Acupuncture attenuates cognitive deficits through α7nAChR mediated anti-inflammatory pathway in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion rats. Life Sci 2020; 266:118732.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) elicits inflammatory response, which contributes to the pathology of cognitive impairment. Several studies demonstrate that the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) can be a key component to modulate the inflammatory responses. We have reported previously that acupuncture attenuated cognitive deficits induced by CCH. In present study, whether effect of acupuncture was related to α7nAChR mediated anti-inflammatory pathway in CCH rats was further explored. MAIN METHODS Acupuncture was performed in CCH rats induced by bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion. Neuronal injury, the activation of microglia, the release of inflammatory cytokines, the expression of α7nAChR, and the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways were detected. Cognitive function and central inflammation were evaluated after the intraperitoneal injection of an α7nAChR agonist PNU282987, or intracerebroventricular injection of an α7nAChR antagonist α-bungarotoxin (α-BGT). KEY FINDINGS We found that there were neuronal damage and inflammation, accompanied with the decreased expressions of α7nAChR in the hippocampus under CCH condition. Acupuncture inhibited neuronal damage, activation of microglia, and inflammatory cytokines. The expressions of α7nAChR, together with its downstream JAK2/STAT3 pathways were up regulated by acupuncture. PNU282987 mimicked the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects as well as the cognitive improvements of acupuncture. Meanwhile, the benefit effects of acupuncture above were blocked by α-BGT. SIGNIFICANCE It was demonstrated that acupuncture promoted cognitive function and afforded neuroprotective effects against inflammation via activation of α7nAChR and its downstream JAK2-STAT3 pathway in CCH rats. It provides a new insight for acupuncture as an anti-inflammatory intervention for cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) causes both central and peripheral inflammation, while activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) provides both central and peripheral anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. Here, we provide evidence that 4OH-GTS-21, a selective α7 agonist, produces its therapeutic effects via primarily central sites of action because 4OH-GTS-21 was found equally effective in splenectomized and non-spenectomized rats in the sub-acute phase of ischemic stroke (≤1 week). However, the spleen may boost the therapeutic efficacy of 4OH-GTS-21 in certain behavioral tasks as our data also indicated. In our tests, AIS was modeled by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). Splenectomy was done 2 weeks before tMCAO. We determined that: 1) Daily 4OH-GTS-21 treatments for 7 days after tMCAO significantly reduced neurological deficits and brain injury in both splenectomized and non-spelenectomized rats demonstrating that the spleen is not required for therapeutic benefits of 4OH-GTS-21; 2) The effects of 4OH-GTS-21 in the adhesive sticker removal test were significantly weaker in splenectomized animals suggesting that the spleen boosts the efficacy of 4OH-GTS-21 in the first week after tMCAO; and 3) Ischemic brain injury was not significantly affected by splenectomy in both vehicle-treated and 4OH-GTS-21-treated animals. These data support the hypothesis that the therapeutic efficacy of sub-chronic (≤1 week) 4OH-GTS-21 primarily originates from central sites of action. These results validate brain availability as a critical factor for developing novel α7 ligands for AIS.

Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) has been suggested to facilitate plasticity and
improve functional recovery after different types of brain lesions.
Interestingly, numerous studies have shown that striatal cholinergic
interneurons are relatively resistant to acute ischemic insults, but
whether ACh released by these neurons enhances functional recovery
after stroke is unknown. We investigated the role of endogenous
striatal ACh in stroke lesion volume and functional outcomes following
middle cerebral artery occlusion to induce focal ischemia in
striatum-selective vesicular acetylcholine transporter-deficient mice
(stVAChT-KO). As transporter expression is almost completely
eliminated in the striatum of stVAChT-KO mice, ACh release is nearly
abolished in this area. Conversely, in other brain areas, VAChT
expression and ACh release are preserved. Our results demonstrate a
larger infarct size after ischemic insult in stVAChT-KO mice, with
more pronounced functional impairments and increased mortality than in
littermate controls. These changes are associated with increased
activation of GSK-3, decreased levels of β-catenin, and a higher
permeability of the blood–brain barrier in mice with loss of VAChT in
striatum neurons. These results support a framework in which
endogenous ACh secretion originating from cholinergic interneurons in
the striatum helps to protect brain tissue against ischemia-induced
damage and facilitates brain recovery by supporting blood–brain
barrier function.

Abstract
Excitatory α7 neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChR) are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous and immune systems and are important for learning, memory, and immune response regulation. Specific α7 nAChR ligands, including positive allosteric modulators are promising to treat cognitive disorders, inflammatory processes, and pain. One of them, PNU-120596, highly increased the neuron response to α7 agonists and retarded desensitization, showing selectivity for α7 as compared to heteromeric nAChRs, but was not examined at the inhibitory ligand-gated channels. We studied PNU-120596 action on anion-conducting channels using voltage-clamp techniques: it slightly potentiated the response of human glycine receptors expressed in PC12 cells, of rat GABAA receptors in cerebellar Purkinje cells and mouse GABAA Rs heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. On the contrary, PNU-120596 exerted an inhibitory effect on the receptors mediating anion currents in Lymnaea stagnalis neurons: two nAChR subtypes, GABA and glutamate receptors. Acceleration of the current decay, contrary to slowing down desensitization in mammalian α7 nAChR, was observed in L. stagnalis neurons predominantly expressing one of the two nAChR subtypes. Thus, PNU-120596 effect on these anion-selective nAChRs was just opposite to the action on the mammalian cation-selective α7 nAChRs. A comparison of PNU-120596 molecule docked to the models of transmembrane domains of the human α7 AChR and two subunits of L. stagnalis nAChR demonstrated some differences in contacts with the amino acid residues important for PNU-120596 action on the α7 nAChR. Thus, our results show that PNU-120596 action depends on a particular subtype of these Cys-loop receptors.
