Zhang Q, Li Y, Liu Y, Wang X, Yang Y, Shi L. The cGAS/STING signaling pathway is involved in sevoflurane induced neuronal necroptosis via regulating microglia M1 polarization. Cell Signal 2024; 119:111195. [PMID: 38688381 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111195] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The specific mechanisms of sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity are still undetermined. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in sevoflurane-induced neuronal necroptosis. METHODS BV2 microglial cells were divided into a control group and a 4% sevoflurane exposure group. Western blotting was used to detect expression of the M1 polarization marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). RNA was collected for RNA sequencing analysis. After STING knockdown in microglia, western blotting was performed to examine expression of the pro-inflammatory markers CD16 and CD32. The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level in media was detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. BV2 microglia conditioned media was collected to incubate HT22 neuronal cells, and their cell activity was measured using a CCK8 assay. Calcium was observed by fluorescence. Western blotting was performed to evaluate receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) expression. Neuronal necroptosis rate were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS Sevoflurane exposure promoted microglial M1 polarization. The cGAS/STING pathway was screened and identified by RNA sequencing analysis of sevoflurane-exposed microglia and the control group. Compared with the control group, STING knockdown in microglia rescued the amoeboid morphology, inhibited TNF-α release, and significantly decreased iNOS, CD16, and CD32 expression. Moreover, calcium ions and necroptosis within neurons were decreased, and RIPK1, RIPK3, and p-MLKL expression was markedly decreased in microglia media culture with STING knockdown. CONCLUSION These results suggest that sevoflurane can regulate microglial M1 polarization by activating the cGAS/STING signaling pathway and increasing immune factor release, thus accelerating the neuronal necroptosis induced by calcium overload.

Abstract
Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent epilepsy episodes. As a non-pharmacological treatment, the ketogenic diet has been widely applied in treating epilepsy. However, the exact therapeutic mechanism of the ketogenic diet for epilepsy remains unclear. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms of the ketogenic diet in regulating fatty acid metabolism and activating the ADCY3-initiated cAMP signaling pathway to enhance neuronal inhibition and thereby treat epilepsy. Methods and results Meta-analysis reveals that the ketogenic diet is superior to the conventional diet in treating epilepsy. Animal experiments demonstrate that the ketogenic diet is more effective than the conventional diet in treating epilepsy, with the best results achieved using the classic ketogenic diet. Transcriptome sequencing analysis identifies six essential genes, among which ADCY3 shows increased expression in the ketogenic diet. In vivo experiments confirm that the activation of the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway by ADCY3 enhances neuronal inhibition and improves epilepsy control. Conclusion Clinical observations indicate that the ketogenic diet improves patient epilepsy episodes by regulating the ADCY3-initiated cAMP signaling pathway.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE : JAALAS 2024; 63. [PMID: 38325835 PMCID: PMC11193416 DOI: 10.30802/aalas-jaalas-23-000104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Overdose of carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) is a common euthanasia method for rodents; however, CO₂ exposure activates nociceptors in rats at concentrations equal to or greater than 37% and is reported to be painful in humans at concentrations equal to or greater than 32.5%. Exposure of rats to CO₂ could cause pain before loss of consciousness. We used 2 standardized loss of righting reflex (LORR) methods to identify CO₂ concentrations associated with unconsciousness in Wistar, Long-Evans, and Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 28 animals per strain). A rotating, motorized cylinder was used to test LORR while the rat was being exposed to increasing concentrations of CO₂. LORR was defined based on a 15-second observation period. The 2 methods were 1) a 1-Paw assessment (the righting reflex was considered to be present if one or more paws contacted the cylinder after the rat was positioned in dorsal recumbency), and 2) a 4-Paw assessment (the righting reflex was considered to be present if all 4 paws contacted the cylinder after the rat was positioned in dorsal recumbency). Data were analyzed with Probit regression, and dose-response curves were plotted. 1-Paw EC95 values (CO₂ concentration at which LORR occurred for 95% of the population) were Wistar, 27.2%; Long-Evans, 29.2%; and Sprague-Dawley, 35.0%. 4-Paw EC95 values were Wistar, 26.2%; Long-Evans, 25.9%, and Sprague-Dawley, 31.1%. Sprague-Dawley EC95 values were significantly higher in both 1- and 4-Paw tests as compared with Wistar and Long-Evans rats. No differences were detected between sexes for any strain. The 1-Paw EC95 was significantly higher than the 4-Paw EC95 only for Sprague-Dawley rats. These results suggest that a low number of individual rats from the strains studied may experience pain during CO₂ euthanasia.

Anesth Analg 2023; 137:221-233.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Etomidate-induced myoclonus, a seizure-like movement, is of interest to anesthetists. However, its origin in the brain and its underlying mechanism remain unclear. METHODS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with etomidate, propofol, or lidocaine plus etomidate. We assessed the incidence of myoclonus, behavioral scores, and levels of glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the neocortex and hippocampus. To determine the origin and how N -methyl- d -aspartate receptors (NMDARs) modulate etomidate-induced neuroexcitability, the local field potential and muscular tension were monitored. Calcium imaging in vitro and immunoblotting in vivo were conducted to investigate the mechanisms underlying myoclonus. RESULTS The incidence of etomidate (1.5 mg/kg in vivo)-induced myoclonus was higher than that of propofol (90% vs 10%, P = .0010) and lidocaine plus etomidate (90% vs 20%, P = .0050). Etomidate at doses of 3.75 and 6 mg/kg decreased the mean behavioral score at 1 (mean difference [MD]: 1.80, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58-3.02; P = .0058 for both), 2 (MD: 1.60, 95% CI, 0.43-2.77; P = .0084 and MD: 1.70, 95% CI, 0.54-2.86; P = .0060), 3 (MD: 1.60, 95% CI, 0.35-2.85; P = .0127 and MD: 1.70, 95% CI, 0.46-2.94; P = .0091) minutes after administration compared to etomidate at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg. In addition, 0.5 and 1 µM etomidate in vitro increased neocortical intracellular calcium signaling; this signaling decreased when the concentration increased to 5 and 10 μM. Etomidate increased the glutamate level compared to propofol (mean rank difference: 18.20; P = .003), and lidocaine plus etomidate (mean rank difference: 21.70; P = .0002). Etomidate in vivo activated neocortical ripple waves and was positively correlated with muscular tension amplitude (Spearman's r = 0.785, P < .0001). Etomidate at 1.5 mg/kg decreased the K-Cl cotransporter isoform 2 (KCC2) level compared with propofol (MD: -1.15, 95% CI, -1.47 to -0.83; P < .0001) and lidocaine plus etomidate (MD: -0.64, 95% CI, -0.96 to -0.32; P = .0002), DL-2-amino-5-phosphopentanoic acid (AP5) suppressed these effects, while NMDA enhanced them. CONCLUSIONS Etomidate-induced myoclonus or neuroexcitability is concentration dependent. Etomidate-induced myoclonus originates in the neocortex. The underlying mechanism involves neocortical glutamate accumulation and NMDAR modulation and myoclonus correlates with NMDAR-induced downregulation of KCC2 protein expression.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) leads to hippocampal damage and causes a variety of physiopathological responses, including the induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), neuroinflammation, and alterations in synaptic plasticity. As an important trace element, strontium (Sr) has been reported to have antioxidant effects, to have anti-inflammatory effects, and to cause the inhibition of adipogenesis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective effects of Sr on hippocampal damage in NAFLD mice in order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of Sr in NAFLD. The mouse model of NAFLD was established by feeding mice a high-fat diet (HFD), and the mice were treated with Sr. In the NAFLD mice, we found that treatment with Sr significantly increased the density of c-Fos+ cells in the hippocampus and inhibited the expression of caspase-3 by suppressing ERS. Surprisingly, the induction of neuroinflammation and the increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus following an HFD were attenuated by Sr treatment. Sr significantly attenuated the activation of microglia and astrocytes induced by an HFD. The expression of phospho-p38, ERK, and NF-κB was consistently significantly increased in the HFD group, and treatment with Sr decreased their expression. Moreover, Sr prevented HFD-induced damage to the ultra-structural synaptic architecture. This study implies that Sr has beneficial effects on repairing the damage to the hippocampus induced by an HFD, revealing that Sr could be a potential candidate for protection from neural damage caused by NAFLD.

Mediators Inflamm 2023; 2023:7750134.

Abstract
Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and to determine whether lncRNA HOXA11-AS affects sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and inflammation by regulating miR-98-5p/EphA4. Methods Morris water maze (MWM) test was used to detect the learning and memory ability of rats, HE staining was used to observe hippocampal pathology, TUNEL staining was used to detect the level of neuronal apoptosis, and RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of HOXA11-AS, miR-98-5p, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. At the same time, the contents of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in serum were detected by ELISA. The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins EphA4, Bax, Cleaved caspase 3, and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot. The dual-luciferase gene reporter verified the targeting relationship between HOXA11-AS and miR-98-5p and the targeting relationship between miR-98-5p and EphA4. Results The expression of HOXA11-AS was observed in sevoflurane-treated rats or cells and promoted neuronal apoptosis and inflammation. HOXA11-AS was knocked out alone, or miR-98-5p was overexpressed which attenuates neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory inflammation after sevoflurane treatment. Furthermore, knockdown of HOXA11-AS alone was partially restored by knockdown of miR-98-5p or overexpression of EphA4. Conclusion Inhibition of lncRNA HOXA11-AS attenuates sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory responses via miR-98-5p/EphA4.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate in vitro and in vivo the potential anti-inflammatory and nephroprotective potential of ethyl acetate fraction extracted from Fumaria officinalis (EAF) against permethrin (PER). Male wistar rats were treated daily by gavage during 7 days as follows: group C: negative control rats received 2 mL/kg bw of corn oil, group EAF: positive control rats received EAF at a dose of 200 mg/kg bw dissolved in water, group PER: rats received PER at a dose of 34.05 mg/kg bw and group (PER + EAF): rats received PER (34.05 mg/kg bw) and EAF (200 mg/kg bw). In vitro study showed the ability of EAF to inhibit protein denaturation and heat-induced hemolysis confirming its anti-inflammatory activity. In vivo, PER treatment decreased calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) levels and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in plasma. It induced oxidative stress objectified by an increase in the lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation and a perturbation of antioxidant system in kidney and mitochondria. The activities of NADH-ubiquinone reductase, ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase and cytochrome C oxidase activities were reduced. These alterations were confirmed by histopathological studies. Co-treatment with EAF improved the antioxidant status and mitochondrial bioenergetics. The nephroprotective effects of EAF could be attributed to its modulation of detoxification enzymes and/or free radical scavenging actions.

Abstract
Delirium is the most common postoperative complication in older patients after prolonged anesthesia and surgery and is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and dementia. The neuronal pathogenesis of postoperative delirium is largely unknown. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive reaction of cells to perturbations in endoplasmic reticulum function. Dysregulation of UPR has been implicated in a variety of diseases including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. However, whether UPR plays a role in anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment remains unexplored. By performing in vivo calcium imaging in the mouse frontal cortex, we showed that exposure of aged mice to the inhalational anesthetic sevoflurane for 2 hours resulted in a marked elevation of neuronal activity during recovery, which lasted for at least 24 hours after the end of exposure. Concomitantly, sevoflurane anesthesia caused a prolonged increase in phosphorylation of PERK and eIF2α, the markers of UPR activation. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PERK prevented neuronal hyperactivity and memory impairment induced by sevoflurane. Moreover, we showed that PERK suppression also reversed various molecular and synaptic changes induced by sevoflurane anesthesia, including alterations of synaptic NMDA receptors, tau protein phosphorylation, and dendritic spine loss. Together, these findings suggest that sevoflurane anesthesia causes abnormal UPR in the aged brain, which contributes to neuronal hyperactivity, synapse loss and cognitive decline in aged mice.

Our previous study has shown a role of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in neonatal surgery-induced learning and memory impairment in rats. This study was designed to determine whether neonatal surgery induced hyperactive behavior in addition to learning and memory impairment and whether GDNF played a role in these changes. Postnatal day 7 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to right common carotid arterial exposure under sevoflurane anesthesia. Their learning, memory and behavior were tested from 23 days after the surgery. GDNF was injected intracerebroventricularly at the end of surgery. Surgery reduced GDNF expression in the hippocampus. Surgery impaired learning and memory and induced a hyperactive behavior as assessed by Barnes maze, fear conditioning and open field tests. In addition, surgery reduced dendritic arborization and spine density. The effects were attenuated by GDNF injection. These results suggest that surgery induces a hyperactive behavior pattern, impairment of learning and memory, and neuronal microstructural damage later in the lives in rats. GDNF reduction may mediate these surgical effects.

Abstract
Background To investigate the neuroprotective effect of edaravone on excessive-dose propofol-induced neurotoxicity in the hippocampus of newborn rats and HT22 cells. Methods Cell proliferation was investigated by assessing ki67 expression in the neural stem of the hippocampus of newborn rats and by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay in HT22 cells. Cell apoptosis was assessed in vivo by caspase 3 detection in Western blots and measurement of apoptosis in neurons and glial cells by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry in HT22 cells. The Morris water maze was used to evaluate the long-term learning and memory ability of rats. Inflammatory factors were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of mBDNF/TrkB/PI3K pathway-related proteins was detected by Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (q-RT PCR). Results In neonatal rat hippocampus and HT22 cells, edaravone increased cell proliferation and decreased cell apoptosis after excessive propofol-induced neurotoxicity. In addition, the levels of proinflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were reduced by edaravone pretreatment. The use of the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) antagonist ANA-12 and TrkB agonist 7,8DHF with propofol groups showed that edaravone mitigated excessive propofol-induced neurotoxicity through the mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF)/TrkB/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. However, the current dose of propofol did not significantly affect long-term learning and memory in rats. Conclusion Edaravone pretreatment ameliorated propofol-induced proliferation inhibition, neuroapoptosis, and neural inflammation by activating the mBDNF/TrkB/PI3K pathway.
