Abstract
Cognitive impairment (COI) is a prevalent complication across a spectrum of brain disorders, underpinned by intricate mechanisms yet to be fully elucidated. Neurons, the principal cell population of the nervous system, orchestrate cognitive processes and govern cognitive balance. Extensive inquiry has spotlighted the involvement of Foxo3a in COI. The regulatory cascade of Foxo3a transactivation implicates multiple downstream signaling pathways encompassing mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis, collectively affecting neuronal activity. Notably, the expression and activity profile of neuronal Foxo3a are subject to modulation via various modalities, including methylation of promoter, phosphorylation and acetylation of protein. Furthermore, upstream pathways such as PI3K/AKT, the SIRT family, and diverse micro-RNAs intricately interface with Foxo3a, engendering alterations in neuronal function. Through several downstream routes, Foxo3a regulates neuronal dynamics, thereby modulating the onset or amelioration of COI in Alzheimer's disease, stroke, ischemic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. Foxo3a is a potential therapeutic cognitive target, and clinical drugs or multiple small molecules have been preliminarily shown to have cognitive-enhancing effects that indirectly affect Foxo3a. Particularly noteworthy are multiple randomized, controlled, placebo clinical trials illustrating the significant cognitive enhancement achievable through autophagy modulation. Here, we discussed the role of Foxo3a in neuron-mediated COI and common cognitively impaired diseases.

Stroke Causes DNA Methylation at Ncx1 Heart Promoter in the Brain Via DNMT1/MeCP2/REST Epigenetic Complex. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e030460. [PMID: 38456444 PMCID: PMC11010005 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.030460] [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: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND REST (Repressor-Element 1 [RE1]-silencing transcription factor) inhibits Na+/Ca2+exchanger-1 (Ncx1) transcription in neurons through the binding of RE1 site on brain promoter (Br) after stroke. We identified a new putative RE1 site in Ncx1 heart promoter (Ht) sequence (Ht-RE1) that participates in neuronal Ncx1 transcription. Because REST recruits DNA-methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1) and MeCP2 (methyl-CpG binding protein 2) on different neuronal genes, we investigated the role of this complex in Ncx1 transcriptional regulation after stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS Luciferase experiments performed in SH-SY5Y cells demonstrated that Br activity was selectively decreased by REST, whereas Ht activity was reduced by DNMT1, MeCP2, and REST. Notably, site-direct mutagenesis of Ht-RE1 prevented REST-dependent downregulation of Ncx1. Furthermore, in temporoparietal cortex of 8-week-old male wild-type mice (C57BL/6) subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, DNMT1, MeCP2, and REST binding to Ht promoter was increased, with a consequent DNA promoter hypermethylation. Intracerebroventricular injection of siREST prevented DNMT1/MeCP2 binding to Ht and Ncx1 downregulation, thus causing a reduction in stroke-induced damage. Consistently, in cortical neurons subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation plus reoxygenation Ncx1 knockdown counteracted neuronal protection induced by the demethylating agent 5-azacytidine. For comparisons between 2 experimental groups, Student's t test was used, whereas for more than 2 experimental groups, 1-way ANOVA was used, followed by Tukey or Newman Keuls. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. CONCLUSIONS If the results of this study are confirmed in humans, it could be asserted that DNMT1/MeCP2/REST complex disruption could be a new pharmacological strategy to reduce DNA methylation of Ht in the brain, ameliorating stroke damage.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily highly conserved catabolic process that is important for the clearance of cytosolic contents to maintain cellular homeostasis and survival. Recent findings point toward a critical role for autophagy in brain function, not only by preserving neuronal health, but especially by controlling different aspects of neuronal development and functioning. In line with this, mutations in autophagy-related genes are linked to various key characteristics and symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism, micro-/macrocephaly, and epilepsy. However, the group of NDDs caused by mutations in autophagy-related genes is relatively small. A significant proportion of NDDs are associated with mutations in genes encoding epigenetic regulatory proteins that modulate gene expression, so-called chromatinopathies. Intriguingly, several of the NDD-linked chromatinopathy genes have been shown to regulate autophagy-related genes, albeit in non-neuronal contexts. From these studies it becomes evident that tight transcriptional regulation of autophagy-related genes is crucial to control autophagic activity. This opens the exciting possibility that aberrant autophagic regulation might underly nervous system impairments in NDDs with disturbed epigenetic regulation. We here summarize NDD-related chromatinopathy genes that are known to regulate transcriptional regulation of autophagy-related genes. Thereby, we want to highlight autophagy as a candidate key hub mechanism in NDD-related chromatinopathies.Abbreviations: ADNP: activity dependent neuroprotector homeobox; ASD: autism spectrum disorder; ATG: AutTophaGy related; CpG: cytosine-guanine dinucleotide; DNMT: DNA methyltransferase; EHMT: euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase; EP300: E1A binding protein p300; EZH2: enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit; H3K4me3: histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation; H3K9me1/2/3: histone 3 lysine 9 mono-, di-, or trimethylation; H3K27me2/3: histone 3 lysine 27 di-, or trimethylation; hiPSCs: human induced pluripotent stem cells; HSP: hereditary spastic paraplegia; ID: intellectual disability; KANSL1: KAT8 regulatory NSL complex subunit 1; KAT8: lysine acetyltransferase 8; KDM1A/LSD1: lysine demethylase 1A; MAP1LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1; NDD: neurodevelopmental disorder; PHF8: PHD finger protein 8; PHF8-XLID: PHF8-X linked intellectual disability syndrome; PTM: post-translational modification; SESN2: sestrin 2; YY1: YY1 transcription factor; YY1AP1: YY1 associated protein 1.

Nicotinic Acid-Mediated Modulation of Metastasis-Associated Protein 1 Methylation and Inflammation in Brain Arteriovenous Malformation. Biomolecules 2023; 13:1495. [PMID: 37892177 PMCID: PMC10605296 DOI: 10.3390/biom13101495] [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: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
We explored metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) promoter methylation in the development of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM). The clinical data of 148 sex- and age-matched BAVMs and controls were collected, and the MTA1 DNA methylation in peripheral white blood cells (WBC) was assessed by bisulfite pyrosequencing. Among them, 18 pairs of case-control samples were used for WBC mRNA detection, 32 pairs were used for WBC MTA1 protein measurement, and 50 pairs were used for plasma inflammatory factor analysis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment was used to induce an inflammatory injury cell model of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECS). 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AZA), nicotinic acid (NA), and MTA1 siRNAs were used in functional experiments to examine BMECS behaviors. RT-qPCR, Western blot, and ELISA or cytometric bead arrays were used to measure the expression levels of MTA1, cytokines, and signaling pathway proteins in human blood or BMECS. The degree of MTA1 promoter methylation was reduced in BAVM compared with the control group and was inversely proportional to MTA1 expression. Plasma ApoA concentrations in BAVM patients were significantly lower than those in controls and correlated positively with MTA1 promoter methylation and negatively with MTA1 expression. The expression of cytokine was markedly higher in BAVM than in controls. Cell experiments showed that 5-AZA decreased the methylation level of MTA1 and increased the expression of MTA1 protein. LPS treatment significantly increased cytokine concentrations (p < 0.05). NA and MTA1 silencing could effectively reverse the LPS-mediated increase in IL-6 and TNF-α expression through the NF-κB pathway. Our study indicated that NA may regulate MTA1 expression by affecting promoter DNA methylation, improve vascular inflammation through the NF-κB pathway, and alleviate the pathological development of BAVM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP) contains an alpha-helical coil with an unexplored biological function in osteosarcoma. This study investigated the expression of RILP in osteosarcoma cells and tissues to determine the effect of RILP on the biological behaviors of osteosarcoma cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were used for bioinformatic analysis. Co-immunoprecipitation experiment was used to determine whether the two proteins were interacting. In functional tests, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, transwell invasion assay, Immunofluorescence (IF) assay and immunohistochemical (IHC) assay were performed. RESULTS Overexpression of RILP significantly inhibited proliferation and impaired metastasis ability of osteosarcoma cells, while silencing of RILP showed the opposite trend. RNA-seq data analysis was applied in 143B cells and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the PI3K/AKT pathway. We further verified that overexpression of RILP restrained the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and induced autophagy in osteosarcoma cells, while the opposite trend was observed when PI3K pathway activator 740Y-P was used. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), a selective autophagy inhibitor, partially attenuated the inhibitory effect of RILP on the migration and invasion ability of osteosarcoma cells, suggesting the involvement of autophagy in epithelial-mesenchymal transition regulation in osteosarcoma cells. Growth factor receptor binding protein-10 (Grb10), an adaptor protein, was confirmed as a potential target of RILP to restrain the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. We subcutaneously injected stably overexpressing 143B osteosarcoma cells into nude mice and observed that overexpression of RILP inhibited tumor growth by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that the expression of RILP was associated with favorable prognosis of osteosarcoma and RILP inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion and promotes autophagy in osteosarcoma cells via Grb10-mediated inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In the future, targeting RILP may be a potential strategy for osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Stroke, of which ischemic stroke (IS) is the major type, is the second leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to play important role in the physiology and pathology of IS. CircRNAs often act as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate gene expression by acting as miRNA sponges. However, whole transcriptome-wide screenings of circRNA-mediated ceRNA networks associated with IS are still lacking. In the present study, we constructed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network by whole transcriptome-wide analysis. Methods: CircRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs expression profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We identified differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in IS patients. StarBase and CircBank databases were used to predict the miRNA targets of DEcircRNAs, and mirDIP database was used to predict the mRNA targets of DEmiRNAs. CircRNA-miRNA pairs and miRNA-mRNA pairs were established. Then, we identified hub genes via protein-protein interaction analysis and constructed a core ceRNA sub-network. Results: In total, 276 DEcircRNAs, 43 DEmiRNAs, and 1926 DEmRNAs were explored. The ceRNA network included 69 circRNAs, 24 miRNAs, and 92 mRNAs. The core ceRNA subnetwork included hsa_circ_0011474, hsa_circ_0023110, CDKN1A, FHL2, RPS2, CDK19, KAT6A, CBX1, BRD4, and ZFHX3. Discussion: In conclusion, we established a novel hsa_circ_0011474 - hsa-miR-20a-5p/hsa-miR-17-5p - CDKN1A ceRNA regulatory axis associated with IS. Our findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of IS and offer promising diagnostic and predictive biomarkers.

Abstract
Forkhead box O3 is a protein encoded by the FOXO3 gene expressed throughout the body. FOXO3 could play a crucial role in longevity and many other pathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease, glioblastoma, and stroke. This study is a comprehensive review of the expression of FOXO3 under ischemia and reperfusion (IR) and the molecular mechanisms of its regulation and function. We found that the expression level of FOXO3 under ischemia and IR is tissue-specific. Specifically, the expression level of FOXO3 is increased in the lung and intestinal epithelial cells after IR. However, FOXO3 is downregulated in the kidney after IR and in the skeletal muscles following ischemia. Interestingly, both increased and decreased FOXO3 expression have been reported in the brain, liver, and heart following IR. Nevertheless, these contribute to stimulating ischemia and reperfusion injury via the induction of inflammatory response, apoptosis, autophagy, mitophagy, pyroptosis, and oxidative damage. These results suggest that FOXO3 could play protective effects in some organs and detrimental effects in others against IR injury. Most importantly, these findings indicate that controlling FOXO3 expression, genetically or pharmacologically, could contribute to preventing or treating ischemia and reperfusion damage.
