JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202409000-00035/figure1/v/2024-01-16T170235Z/r/image-tiff Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is often associated with permanent cerebral palsy, neurosensory impairments, and cognitive deficits, and there is no effective treatment for complications related to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The therapeutic potential of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells for various diseases has been explored. However, the potential use of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy has not yet been investigated. In this study, we injected human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the lateral ventricle of a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy rat model and observed significant improvements in both cognitive and motor function. Protein chip analysis showed that interleukin-3 expression was significantly elevated in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy model rats. Following transplantation of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells, interleukin-3 expression was downregulated. To further investigate the role of interleukin-3 in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, we established an in vitro SH-SY5Y cell model of hypoxic-ischemic injury through oxygen-glucose deprivation and silenced interleukin-3 expression using small interfering RNA. We found that the activity and proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation were further suppressed by interleukin-3 knockdown. Furthermore, interleukin-3 knockout exacerbated neuronal damage and cognitive and motor function impairment in rat models of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The findings suggest that transplantation of hpcMSCs ameliorated behavioral impairments in a rat model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and this effect was mediated by interleukin-3-dependent neurological function.

[PMID: 38492782 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116132] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug for different cancers, but it also causes severe and permanent hearing loss. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in cochlear hair cells (HCs) have been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL). CDGSH iron sulfur domain 1 (CISD1, also known as mitoNEET) plays a critical role in mitochondrial oxidative capacity and cellular bioenergetics. Targeting CISD1 may improve mitochondrial function in various diseases. However, the role of CISD1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is unclear. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the role of CISD1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. We found that CISD1 expression was significantly increased after cisplatin treatment in both HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear HCs. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of CISD1 with NL-1 inhibited cell apoptosis and reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species accumulation in HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear explants. Inhibition of CISD1 with small interfering RNA in HEI-OC1 cells had similar protective effects. Furthermore, NL-1 protected against CIHL in adult C57 mice, as evaluated by the auditory brainstem response and immunofluorescent staining. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing revealed that NL-1 attenuated CIHL via the PI3K and MAPK pathways. Most importantly, NL-1 did not interfere with the antitumor efficacy of cisplatin. In conclusion, our study revealed that targeting CISD1 with NL-1 reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis via the PI3K and MAPK pathways in HEI-OC1 cell lines and mouse cochlear explants in vitro, and it protected against CIHL in adult C57 mice. Our study suggests that CISD1 may serve as a novel target for the prevention of CIHL.

The lncRNA lnc_AABR07044470.1 promotes the mitochondrial-damaged inflammatory response to neuronal injury via miR-214-3p/PERM1 axis in acute ischemic stroke. Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:412. [PMID: 38466466 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-024-09301-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the role of lnc_AABR07044470.1 on the occurrence and development of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and neuronal injury by targeting the miR-214-3p/PERM1 axis to find a novel clinical drug target and prediction and treatment of AIS. METHODS The mouse AIS animal model was used in vivo experiments and hypoxia/reoxygenation cell model in vitro was established. Firstly, infarction volume and pathological changes of mouse hippocampal neurons were detected using HE staining. Secondly, rat primary neuron apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry assay. The numbers of neuron, microglia and astrocytes were detected using immunofluorescence (IF). Furthermore, binding detection was performed by bioinformatics database and double luciferase reporter assay. Lnc_AABR07044470.1 localization was performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Lnc_AABR07044470.1, miR-214-3pand PERM1mRNA expression was performed using RT-qPCR. NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and PERM1 protein expression was performed using Western blotting. IL-1β was detected by ELISA assay. RESULTS Mouse four-vessel occlusion could easily establish the animal model, and AIS animal model had an obvious time-dependence. HE staining showed that, compared with the sham group, infarction volume and pathological changes of mouse hippocampal neurons were deteriorated in the model group. Furthermore, compared with the sham group, neurons were significantly reduced, while microglia and astrocytes were significantly activated. Moreover, the bioinformatics prediction and detection of double luciferase reporter confirmed the binding site of lnc_AABR07044470.1 to miR-214-3p and miR-214-3p to Perm1. lnc_AABR07044470.1 and PERM1 expression was significantly down-regulated and miR-214-3pexpression was significantly up-regulated in AIS animal model in vivo. At the same time, the expression of inflammasome NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and pro-inflammatory factor IL-1β was significantly up-regulated in vivo and in vitro. The over-expression of lnc_AABR07044470.1 and miR-214-3p inhibitor could inhibit the neuron apoptosis and the expression of inflammasome NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and pro-inflammatory factor IL-1β and up-regulate the expression of PERM1 in vitro. Finally, over-expression of lnc_AABR07044470.1 and miR-214-3p inhibitor transfected cell model was significant in relieving the AIS and neuronal injury. CONCLUSION Lnc_AABR07044470.1 promotes inflammatory response to neuronal injury via miR-214-3p/PERM1 axis in AIS.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a diffuse brain dysfunction secondary to body infection without overt central nervous system infection. Dysregulation of miRNA expression in the transcriptome can spread through RNA transfer in exosomes, providing an early signal of impending neuropathological changes in the brain. Here, we comprehensively analyzed brain-derived exosomal miRNA profiles in SAE rats (n = 3) and controls (n = 3). We further verified the differential expression and correlation of brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma exosomal miRNAs in SAE rats. High-throughput sequencing of brain-derived exosomal miRNAs identified 101 differentially expressed miRNAs, of which 16 were downregulated and 85 were upregulated. Four exosomal miRNAs (miR-127-3p, miR-423-3p, mR-378b, and miR-106-3p) were differentially expressed and correlated in the brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma, revealing the potential use of miRNAs as SAE liquid brain biopsies. Understanding exosomal miRNA profiles in SAE brain tissue and exploring the correlation with peripheral exosomal miRNA can contribute to a comprehensive understanding of miRNA changes in the SAE pathological process and provide the possibility of establishing early diagnostic assays.

Mitochondrial miR-12294-5p regulated copper-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial quality control imbalance by targeted inhibition of CISD1 in chicken livers. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:131908.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is hazardous metal contaminant, which induced hepatotoxicity is closely related to mitochondrial disorder, but exact regulatory mechanism has not yet been revealed. Mitochondrial microRNAs (mitomiRs) are a novel and critical regulator of mitochondrial function and mitochondrial homeostasis. Hence, this study revealed the impact of Cu-exposure on mitomiR expression profiles in chicken livers, and further identified mitomiR-12294-5p and its target gene CISD1 as core regulators involved in Cu-induced hepatotoxicity. Additionally, our results showed that Cu-exposure induced mitochondrial oxidative damage, and mitochondrial quality control imbalance mediated by mitochondrial dynamics disturbances, mitochondrial biogenesis inhibition and abnormal mitophagy flux in chicken livers and primary chicken embryo hepatocytes (CEHs). Meaningfully, we discovered that inhibition of the expression of mitomiR-12294-5p effectively alleviated Cu-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial quality control imbalance, while the up-regulation of mitomiR-12294-5p expression exacerbated Cu-induced mitochondrial damage. Simultaneously, the above Cu-induced mitochondrial damage can be effectively rescued by the overexpression of CISD1, while knockdown of CISD1 dramatically reverses the mitigating effect that inhibition of mitomiR-12294-5p expression on Cu-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial quality control imbalance. Overall, these results suggested that mitomiR-12294-5p/CISD1 axis mediated mitochondrial damage is a novel molecular mechanism involved in regulating Cu-induced hepatotoxicity in chickens.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe and incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive death of motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death. It is a rare disease characterized by high patient-to-patient heterogeneity, which makes its study arduous and complex. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important players in the development of ALS. Thus, ALS phenotype-expressing cells can spread their abnormal bioactive cargo through the secretion of EVs, even in distant tissues. Importantly, owing to their nature and composition, EVs' formation and cargo can be exploited for better comprehension of this elusive disease and identification of novel biomarkers, as well as for potential therapeutic applications, such as those based on stem cell-derived exosomes. This review highlights recent advances in the identification of the role of EVs in ALS etiopathology and how EVs can be promising new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process capable of degrading various biological molecules and organelles via the lysosomal pathway. Ferroptosis is a type of oxidative stress-dependent regulated cell death associated with the iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. The crosslinks between ferroptosis and autophagy have been focused on since the dependence of ferroptosis on autophagy was discovered. Although the research and theories on the relationship between autophagy and ferroptosis remain scattered and fragmented, the crosslinks between these two forms of regulated cell death are closely related to the treatment of various diseases. Thereof, asthma as a chronic inflammatory disease has a tight connection with the occurrence of ferroptosis and autophagy since the crosslinked signal pathways may be the crucial regulators or exactly regulated by cells and secretion in the immune system. In addition, non-immune cells associated with asthma are also closely related to autophagy and ferroptosis. Further studies of cross-linking asthma inflammation with crosslinked signaling pathways may provide us with several key molecules that regulate asthma through specific regulators. The crosslinks between autophagy and ferroptosis provide us with a new perspective to interpret and understand the manifestations of asthma, potential drug discovery targets, and new therapeutic options to effectively intervene in the imbalance caused by abnormal inflammation in asthma. Herein, we introduce the main molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis, autophagy, and asthma, describe the role of crosslinks between ferroptosis and autophagy in asthma based on their common regulatory cells or molecules, and discuss potential drug discovery targets and therapeutic applications in the context of immunomodulatory and symptom alleviation.

Abstract
Chronic cerebral ischaemia (CCI) is a high-incidence cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease that is very common in clinical practice. Although many pathogenic mechanisms have been explored, there is still great controversy among neuroscientists regarding the pathogenesis of CCI. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms of CCI occurrence and progression for the prevention and treatment of ischaemic cerebrovascular disorders. Autophagy and inflammation play vital roles in CCI, but the relationship between these two processes in this disease remains unknown. Here, we review the progression and discuss the functions, actions and pathways of autophagy and inflammation in CCI, including a comprehensive view of the transition from acute disease to CCI through ischaemic repair mechanisms. This review may provide a reference for future research and treatment of CCI. Schematic diagram of the interplay between autophagy and inflammation in CCI. CCI lead to serious, life-threatening complications. This review summarizes two factors in CCI, including autophagy and inflammation, which have been focused for the mechanisms of CCI. In short, the possible points of intersection are shown in the illustration. CCI, Chronic cerebral ischaemia; ER stress, Endoplasmic reticulum stress; ROS, Reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Women with diabetes mellitus are believed to have increased risk of developing breast cancer and lower life expectancies. This study aims to depict the association between the CISD1, the co-expressed genes, and diabetes mellitus to offer potential therapeutic targets for further mechanical research. The TCGA-BRCA RNAseq data is acquired. All the data and analyzed using R packages and web-based bioinformatics tools. CISD1 gene expression was evaluated between tumor bulk and adjacent tissue. Immune cell infiltration evaluation was performed. CISD1 expressed significantly higher in tumor tissue than that of the normal tissue, indicating poor overall survival rates. High expression level of CISD1 in tumor shows less pDC and NK cells penetration. There are 138 genes shared between CISD1 co-expressed gene pool in BRCA and diabetes mellitus related genes using "diabetes" as the term for text mining. These shared genes enrich in "cell cycle" and other pathways. MCODE analysis demonstrates that p53-independent G1/S DNA damage checkpoint, p53-independent DNA damage response, and ubiquitin mediated degradation of phosphorylated cdc25A are top-ranked than other terms. CISD1 and co-expressed genes, especially shared ones with diabetes mellitus, can be the focused genes considered when addressing clinical problems in breast cancer with a diabetes mellitus background.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Accurately diagnosing neurodegenerative dementia is often challenging due to overlapping clinical features. Disease specific biomarkers could enhance diagnostic accuracy. However, CSF analysis procedures and advanced imaging modalities are either invasive or high-priced, and routinely unavailable. Easily accessible disease biomarkers would be of utmost value for accurate differential diagnosis of dementia subtypes. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of blood-based biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of AD from Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD), or AD from Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). METHODS Systematic review. Three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched. Studies assessing blood-based biomarkers levels in AD versus FTLD, or AD versus DLB, and its diagnostic accuracy, were selected. When the same biomarker was assessed in three or more studies, a meta-analysis was performed. QUADAS-2 criteria were used for quality assessment. RESULTS Twenty studies were included in this analysis. Collectively, 905 AD patients were compared to 1262 FTLD patients, and 209 AD patients were compared to 246 DLB patients. Regarding biomarkers for AD versus FTLD, excellent discriminative accuracy (AUC >0.9) was found for p-tau181, p-tau217, synaptophysin, synaptopodin, GAP43 and calmodulin. Other biomarkers also demonstrated good accuracy (AUC = 0.8-0.9). For AD versus DLB distinction, only miR-21-5p and miR-451a achieved excellent accuracy (AUC >0.9). CONCLUSION Encouraging results were found for several biomarkers, alone or in combination. Prospective longitudinal designs and consensual protocols, comprising larger cohorts and homogeneous testing modalities across centres, are essential to validate the clinical value of blood biomarkers for the precise etiological diagnosis of dementia.

Abstract
To date, no neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) have cures, and the underlying mechanism of their pathogenesis is undetermined. As miRNAs extensively regulate all biological processes and are crucial regulators of healthy brain function, miRNAs differentially expressed in NDDs may provide insight into the factors that contribute to the emergence of protein inclusions and the propagation of deleterious cellular environments. A meta-analysis of miRNAs dysregulated in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (TDP43 variant) was performed to determine if diseases within a proteinopathy have distinct or shared mechanisms of action leading to neuronal death, and if proteinopathies can be classified on the basis of their miRNA profiles. Our results identified both miRNAs distinct to the anatomy, disease type and pathology, and miRNAs consistently dysregulated within single proteinopathies and across neurodegeneration in general. Our results also highlight the necessity to minimize the variability between studies. These findings showcase the need for more transcriptomic research on infrequently occurring NDDs, and the need for the standardization of research techniques and platforms utilized across labs and diseases.

Abstract
uPAR is a globular protein, tethered to the cell membrane by a GPI-anchor involved in several cancer-related properties and its overexpression commonly correlates with poor prognosis and metastasis. We investigated the consequences of uPAR irreversible loss in human melanoma and colon cancer cell lines, knocking out its expression by CRISPR/Cas9. We analyzed through flow cytometry, western blotting and qPCR, the modulation of the most known cancer stem cells-associated genes and the EGFR while we observed the proliferation rate exploiting 2D and 3D cellular models. We also generated uPAR “rescue” expression cell lines as well as we promoted the expression of only its 3’UTR to demonstrate the involvement of uPAR mRNA in tumor progression. Knocking out PLAUR, uPAR-encoding gene, we observed an inhibited growth ratio unexpectedly coupled with a significant percentage of cells acquiring a stem-like phenotype. In vivo experiments demonstrated that uPAR loss completely abrogates tumorigenesis despite the gained stem-like profile. Nonetheless, we proved that the reintroduction of the 3’UTR of PLAUR gene was sufficient to restore the wild-type status validating the hypothesis that such a region may act as a “molecular sponge”. In particular miR146a, by binding PLAUR 3’ UTR region might be responsible for uPAR-dependent inhibition of EGFR expression.
