Guvenc-Bayram G, Yalcin M. The involvement of the central cholinergic system in the hyperventilation effect of centrally injected nesfatin-1 in rats. Neuropeptides 2021; 90:102186. [PMID: 34425506 DOI: 10.1016/j.npep.2021.102186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
We recently demonstrated that peripheral and central administration of nesfatin-1 in fasting and satiety states generate hyperventilation activity by increasing tidal volume (TV), respiratory rate (RR), and respiratory minute ventilation (RVM). The present study aimed to investigate the mediation of central cholinergic receptors effective in respiratory control in the hyperventilation activity of nesfatin-1. Besides this, we intended to determine possible changes in blood gases due to hyperventilation activity caused by nesfatin-1 and investigate the mediation of central cholinergic receptors in these changes. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of nesfatin-1 revealed a hyperventilation response with an increase in TV, RR, RMV, and pO2 and a decrease in pCO2 in saturated Sprague Dawley rats. ICV pretreatment with the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine partially blocked the RR, RMV, pO2, and pCO2 responses produced by nesfatin-1 while completely blocking the TV response. However, central pretreatment with nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine blocked the respiratory and blood gas responses induced by nesfatin-1. The study's conclusion demonstrated that nesfatin-1 had active hyperventilation effects resulting in an increase in pO2 and a decrease in pCO2. The critical finding of the study was that activation of central cholinergic receptors was involved in nesfatin-1-evoked hyperventilation and blood gas responses.

Neurosci Lett 2021; 756:135961. [PMID: 34022265 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2021.135961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
That nesfatin-1 is a neuromodulatory peptide for the cardiovascular system is well documented. Several central receptors have been shown to mediate the cardiovascular effects of nesfatin-1. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot studies showed that nesfatin-1 activated the expression of the central cyclooxygenase (COX) -1, -2 and lipoxygenase (LOX). In addition, microdialysis study showed that nesfatin-1 increased the release of total prostaglandins and leukotrienes from the hypothalamus. The present study investigated whether the central COX and LOX enzymes have a direct mediating role in the MAP and HR responses of nesfatin-1. Intracerebroventricularly administered nesfatin-1 produced dose-dependent pressor and phasic HR responses in normotensive conscious rats Sprague Dawley. Central pretreatment with a COX1/2 inhibitor, ibuprofen, completely blocked the nesfatin-1-induced responses. However, central pretreatment with a nonselective LOX inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, partially attenuated the cardiovascular responses induced by nesfatin-1. The results suggest that centrally administered nesfatin-1 activates the central enzymes COX and LOX, which may be involved in the cardiovascular responses as a novel central mechanism for nesfatin-1.

Lipid Profile Modulates Cardiometabolic Risk Biomarkers Including Hypertension in People with Type-2 Diabetes: A Focus on Unbalanced Ratio of Plasma Polyunsaturated/Saturated Fatty Acids. Molecules 2020; 25:E4315. [PMID: 32962299 PMCID: PMC7570813 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25184315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with lipid metabolism disorder, particularly elevated plasma levels of non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFFA) and an increased cardiovascular disease risk, such as essential hypertension (H). The plasma unbalance of saturated fatty acid (SFA)/polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio is a likely contributor, but the mechanisms involved are not clearly elucidated. The aim of this study is to explore the association between plasma SFA/PUFA ratio and the clusters of cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS), including the atherogenic biomarkers, inflammatory status, feeding patterns, and physical activity in people with T2DM with or without essential hypertension. The study was conducted on 784 adult male and female participants, aged between 30 and 50 years, and divided into 3 groups: 100 T2DM without hypertension (D); 368 T2DM with hypertension (DM); and 316 hypertensive participants without T2DM (H). All Participants were phenotyped regarding CMS clusters according to the NCEP/ATPIII criteria. Insulin resistance was assessed by Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA model). Metabolic, atherogenic, and inflammatory parameters were analyzed by biochemical methods; NEFFA by microfluorimetry; SFA, PUFA-n6 and PUFA-n3 by gas phase chromatography. Dietary lipids and physical activity were analyzed through the use of validated questionnaires. The clusters of CMS were found in all groups. Dyslipidemia was correlated with accretion NEFFA levels in all groups, but more accentuated in the DH group (r = +0.77; p < 0.001). Similarly, plasma PUFA/SFA ratio and PUFA-3 level was lower, concomitantly with a higher plasma ApoB100/ApoA1 (p < 0.001), lipoprotein (a), homocysteine (p < 0.001), and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-6, IL1-β) in the DH group. Likewise, the depletion of PUFA-n3/PUFA-n6 ratio is associated with the decrease of omega 3-DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and omega 3-EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) (p < 0.001). It appears that the PUFAs-n3 ratio modulates cardiometabolic risk, inflammatory state and atherogenic biomarkers. The plasma unbalanced ratio of SFA/PUFA reflects dietary fatty acids intake. The contribution of dietary lipids is undisputed. Nutritional recommendations are required to determine the fatty acids ratio (saturated and unsaturated) provided in the diet.

Modulation of arachidonic acid-evoked cardiorespiratory effects by the central lipoxygenase pathway. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2020; 278:103441. [PMID: 32339697 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2020.103441] [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: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
We previously reported that intracerebroventricularly (ICV) injected arachidonic acid (AA) could produce pressor and bradycardic responses on the cardiovascular system and hyperventilation effect on the respiratory system by activating cyclooxygenase (COX). We also demonstrated that centrally injected AA-induced cardiovascular and respiratory responses were mediated by COX-metabolites, such as thromboxane A2 (TXA2), prostaglandin (PG) D, PGE, and PGF2α. Brain tissue is also able to express the lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme and LOX-induced AA-metabolites. The current study was designed to investigate the possible mediation of the central LOX pathway in AA-induced cardiorespiratory effects in anesthetized rats. Central pretreatment with different doses of a non-selective LOX inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) (500 and 1000 μg; ICV) partially blocked the AA (0.5 μmol; ICV)-evoked pressor and bradycardic cardiovascular responses in male anesthetized Sprague Dawley rats. Pretreatment with different doses of NDGA (500 and 1000 μg; ICV) also reduced AA-induced hyperventilation responses, with an increase in tidal volume, respiratory rate and minute ventilation, in the rats. Moreover, AA-induced increasing pO2 and decreasing pCO2 responses were diminished by central NDGA pretreatment. In summary, our findings show that the central LOX pathway might mediate, at least in part, centrally administered AA-evoked cardiorespiratory and blood gases responses.

Abstract
Nesfatin-1 is a multifunctional neuropeptide having crucial autonomic roles. It is well known that nesfatin-1 collaborates with other central neuromodulatory systems, such as central corticotropin-releasing hormone, melanocortin, oxytocin, and cholinergic systems to show its autonomic effects. Central arachidonic acid cascade plays an important role to provide the homeostasis by exhibiting similar autonomic effects to nesfatin-1. Based on these similarities, the current study was designed to show the effects of intracerebroventricularly (ICV) injected nesfatin-1 on the hypothalamic arachidonic acid (AA) cascade. Immunochemistry and western blot approaches demonstrated that ICV administration of nesfatin-1 provokes an increase in the hypothalamic cyclooxygenase (COX) -1, -2 and lipoxygenase (LOX) protein expression. Moreover, the microdialysis study demonstrated that centrally injected nesfatin-1 increased the posterior hypothalamic extracellular AA products. In conclusion, these findings report that while nesfatin-1 is generating its autonomic effects, it also might be using central prostaglandins and leukotrienes by activating central COX and LOX pathways.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is produced by local or systemic alterations and mediated mainly by glia, affecting the activity of various neural circuits including those involved in breathing rhythm generation and control. Several pathological conditions, such as sudden infant death syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea and asthma exert an inflammatory influence on breathing-related circuits. Consequently breathing (both resting and ventilatory responses to physiological challenges), is affected; e.g., responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia are compromised. Moreover, inflammation can induce long-lasting changes in breathing and affect adaptive plasticity; e.g., hypoxic acclimatization or long-term facilitation. Mediators of the influences of inflammation on breathing are most likely proinflammatory molecules such as cytokines and prostaglandins. The focus of this review is to summarize the available information concerning the modulation of the breathing function by inflammation and the cellular and molecular aspects of this process. I will consider: 1) some clinical and experimental conditions in which inflammation influences breathing; 2) the variety of experimental approaches used to understand this inflammatory modulation; 3) the likely cellular and molecular mechanisms.
