J Psychiatr Res 2024; 176:33-39. [PMID: 38838432 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2024.05.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeping late has been associated with cognitive impairment, and insufficient sleep can affect the secretion of feeding-related cytokines. Feeding-related cytokines may contribute to cognitive deficits resulting from delayed bedtime. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), which are feeding-related neurotrophic factors, have been associated with improved cognitive function and neuroprotective abilities. Enhanced expression of GDNF and MANF is linked to increased energy expenditure and hyperphagia, respectively. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) GDNF, MANF, cognition, and sleep time and to explore the moderating effects of GDNF and MANF on cognitive impairment in individuals who sleep late. METHOD This cross-sectional study included participants (mean age 31.76 ± 10.22 years) who were categorized as ≤23 o'clock sleepers (n = 66) and >23 o'clock sleepers (n = 125) based on sleep time. Cognition was assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and GDNF and MANF levels in CSF were measured. RESULTS MANF may play a moderating role in the relationship between sleep time and cognition (R2 = 0.06, β = 0.59, p = 0.031). Age showed a negative correlation with MoCA scores (R2 = 0.08, β = -0.18), while education exhibited a positive correlation (β = 0.17, both p < 0.05). Only ≤23 o'clock sleepers exhibited a negative correlation between MANF levels and BMI (r = -0.35, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS This study provides hitherto undocumented evidence of the potential protective effect of CSF MANF on cognitive impairment of late sleepers, which suggests that maintaining a regular sleep schedule may contribute to cognition and overall health, with MANF playing a role in this process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is a common gynecologic malignant tumor, but the critical factors affecting cervical cancer progression are still not well demonstrated. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been widely recognized as an anti-inflammatory factor to regulate macrophage polarization. In this study, the effect and mechanism of MANF on cervical cancer were preliminarily explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Kaplan-Meier curve was used to show the overall survival time of the involved cervical cancer patients with high and low MANF expression in cervical cancer tissues. MANF was highly expressed in peritumoral tissues of cervical carcinoma by using immunohistochemistry and western blot. MANF mRNA level was detected by using qRT-PCR. Dual-labeled immunofluorescence showed MANF was mainly expressed in macrophages of cervical peritumoral tissues. Moreover, MANF-silenced macrophages promoted HeLa and SiHa cells survival, migration, invasion and EMT via NF-κB signaling activation. The results of tumor formation in nude mice indicated MANF-silenced macrophages promoted cervical tumor formation in vivo. CONCLUSION Our study reveals an inhibitory role of MANF in cervical cancer progression, indicating MANF as a new and valuable therapeutic target for cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, which often leads to female infertility. Chronic inflammation is a significant factor in the development of PCOS. Our study aimed to explore the impact of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), a scientifically validated anti-inflammatory factor, on 99 diagnosed PCOS patients. We also investigated its effects on PCOS mice induced with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and KGN cells induced with dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Our findings revealed a decrease in serum MANF levels in PCOS patients, which were negatively associated with serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels. The administration of recombinant human MANF (rhMANF) in PCOS mice demonstrated a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines and monocytes/macrophages in both peripheral blood and ovarian tissues. Furthermore, the inclusion of rhMANF notably ameliorated DHEA-induced ovarian dysfunction and fibrosis by negatively regulating the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-NLR family, pyrin domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway. Additionally, in vitro experiments showed that the up-regulation of MANF offset DHT-induced inhibition of viability and apoptosis in KGN cells. Collectively, this study highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of MANF in PCOS and suggests its potential as a therapeutic approach for the management of PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating health condition that has significant morbidity and mortality rates. Depression can be caused due to social, biological, environmental, psychological, and genetic factors. A few biological processes have been proposed as the pathophysiological pathways of depression. Neurotrophic factors and inflammatory cytokines have been linked to depression. Thus, we aimed to investigate the serum interleukin-33 (IL-33) and mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) in MDD patients and corresponding healthy controls (HCs). METHOD This study involved the inclusion of 129 MDD patients and 125 HCs matched by sex and age. A psychiatrist evaluated the study participants following DSM-5 criteria. The severity of the illness was assessed utilizing the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (Ham-D). The serum concentrations of IL-33 and MANF were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. RESULTS The mean serum levels of IL-33 were decreased (159.12 ± 6.07 pg/ml vs. 180.60 ± 8.64 pg/ml, p = 0.042), and the MANF levels were increased (5.40 ± 0.19 ng/ml vs. 4.46 ± 0.21 ng/ml, p = 0.001) in MDD patients when compared to HCs. CONCLUSIONS The current study proposes that lower IL-33 and higher MANF serum levels are associated with MDD progression and depression severity. These biomarkers could be used as risk assessment tools for MDD. We recommend more investigation, including a significant population, to determine the precise function of IL-33 and MANF in depression.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced protein, and it has been reported that ER stress and unfolded protein response (UPR) are closely related to the immune system. The spleen is an important immune organ and we have shown in our previous research that MANF is expressed in human spleen tissues. However, there have been limited studies about the effect of MANF on spleen development. In this study, we detected MANF expression in spleen tissues and found that MANF was expressed in the red pulp and marginal zone. Additionally, MANF was localized in the CD68+ and CD138+ cells of adult rat spleen tissues, but not in the CD3+ cells. We performed immunohistochemical staining to detect MANF expression in the spleen tissues of rats that were different ages, and we found that MANF+ cells were localized together in the spleen tissues of rats that were 1-4 weeks old. MANF was also expressed in CD68+ cells in the spleen tissues of rats and mice. Furthermore, we found that MANF deficiency inhibited white pulp development in MANF knockout mice, thus indicating that MANF played an important role in the white pulp development of rodent spleen tissues.

Abstract
Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) is a unique neurotrophic factor (NTF) that has shown significant neuroprotective and neurorestorative functions on midbrain dopaminergic neurons. The secondary structure of human CDNF protein contains eight α-helices. We previously found that two key helices, α1 and α7, regulated the intracellular trafficking and secretion of CDNF protein in different manners. The α1 mutation (M1) induced most CDNF proteins to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum and little be secreted extracellularly, while the α7 mutation (M7) caused the majority of CDNF proteins to be secreted out of the cells and little reside in the cells. However, the regulation of the two mutants on the function of CDNF remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of M1 and M7 on the protective activity of CDNF in PC12 cells, which were treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) to mimic Parkinson's disease. We found that both M1 and M7 could promote survival and inhibit apoptosis more effectively than Wt in 6-OHDA-lesioned PC12 cells. Therefore, these findings will advance our understanding of the important regulation of subdomains on the function of NTFs.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of death in preterm infants. Compared to formula milk, breastfeeding protects against NEC. However, the composition of breast milk is quite complicated, and many immunological compositions remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the concentration of a secreted protein, Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), in breastmilk and evaluate its immune-regulatory function in protecting the intestinal epithelial barrier. Our data indicated that MANF was secreted in human milk but could not be detected in infant formulas. More importantly, the amount of MANF in colostrum was higher than that in mature milk. We also clarified that MANF was mainly expressed in intestinal macrophages and was capable of inducing apoptosis and decreasing the inflammation of pro-inflammatory macrophages in both NEC intestinal tissues and BMDMs. Mechanismly, MANF protein significantly inhibited the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and protected epithelial tight junctions through downregulation of the NF-κB pathway in pro-inflammatory macrophages. These results reveal the crucial function of human milk-derived MANF in intestinal macrophages, which contributes to downregulating the intestinal inflammatory response and protecting the homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells. Our study not only demonstrates a potential mechanism underlying breastfeeding protective effects in NEC but also, more importantly, enables clinical translation, facilitating new strategies for the development of nutritional interventions in the prevention of NEC.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a unique member of the neurotrophic factor family residing in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it functions as a stress response protein maintaining endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis, in addition to being secreted extracellularly as a neurotrophic factor to bind with receptors to initiate intracellular signal transduction pathways. Interestingly, MANF has shown an important protective role in the inflammatory response of many diseases. In neural stem cells, pancreatic β cells, and retinal cells, MANF can inhibit the inflammatory response, modulate the immune response, and promote tissue repair. However, the role of MANF in the periodontal inflammatory response remains unclear. In the present study, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) to establish a Pg-LPS-stimulated periodontal inflammatory model in human gingival fibroblasts cells (HGF-1) to investigate the role of MANF in vitro. We found that MANF could inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, alleviate the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, promote cell survival, and inhibit cell apoptosis. Therefore, MANF might be a novel promising target for the treatment of periodontitis.

MANF brakes TLR4 signaling by competitively binding S100A8 with S100A9 to regulate macrophage phenotypes in hepatic fibrosis. Acta Pharm Sin B 2023; 13:4234-4252. [PMID: 37799387 PMCID: PMC10547964 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2023.07.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been recently identified as a neurotrophic factor, but its role in hepatic fibrosis is unknown. Here, we found that MANF was upregulated in the fibrotic liver tissues of the patients with chronic liver diseases and of mice treated with CCl4. MANF deficiency in either hepatocytes or hepatic mono-macrophages, particularly in hepatic mono-macrophages, clearly exacerbated hepatic fibrosis. Myeloid-specific MANF knockout increased the population of hepatic Ly6Chigh macrophages and promoted HSCs activation. Furthermore, MANF-sufficient macrophages (from WT mice) transfusion ameliorated CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in myeloid cells-specific MANF knockout (MKO) mice. Mechanistically, MANF interacted with S100A8 to competitively block S100A8/A9 heterodimer formation and inhibited S100A8/A9-mediated TLR4-NF-κB signal activation. Pharmacologically, systemic administration of recombinant human MANF significantly alleviated CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in both WT and hepatocytes-specific MANF knockout (HKO) mice. This study reveals a mechanism by which MANF targets S100A8/A9-TLR4 as a "brake" on the upstream of NF-κB pathway, which exerts an impact on macrophage differentiation and shed light on hepatic fibrosis treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by gradual loss of midbrain dopamine neurons, leading to impaired motor function. Preclinical studies have indicated cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) and mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) to be potential therapeutic molecules for the treatment of PD. CDNF was proven to be safe and well tolerated when tested in Phase I-II clinical trials in PD patients. Neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects of CDNF and MANF were demonstrated in animal models of PD, where they promoted the survival of dopamine neurons and improved motor function. However, biological roles of endogenous CDNF and MANF proteins in the midbrain dopamine system have been less clear. In addition to extracellular trophic activities, CDNF/MANF proteins function intracellularly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they modulate protein homeostasis and protect cells against ER stress by regulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). Here, our aim is to give an overview of the biology of endogenous CDNF and MANF in the brain dopamine system. We will discuss recent studies on CDNF and MANF knockout animal models, and effects of CDNF and MANF in preclinical models of PD. To elucidate possible roles of CDNF and MANF in human biology, we will review CDNF and MANF tissue expression patterns and regulation of CDNF/MANF levels in human diseases. Finally, we will discuss novel findings related to the molecular mechanism of CDNF and MANF action in ER stress, UPR, and inflammation, all of which are mechanisms potentially involved in the pathophysiology of PD.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a member of the new family of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) with a unique structure and functions compared to other conventionally known NTFs. MANF is broadly expressed in developing and mature tissues, including the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system tissues. Growing research demonstrated that MANF protects neurons from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated complications by restoring ER homeostasis and regulating unfolded protein response. This review discusses MANF signaling in neurodegenerative conditions with specific emphasis given to its overall effect and mechanisms of action in experimental models of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke. Additional perspectives on its potential unexplored roles in other neurodegenerative conditions are also given.

Abstract
Age-related decline in skeletal muscle regenerative capacity is multifactorial, yet the contribution of immune dysfunction to regenerative failure is unknown. Macrophages are essential for effective debris clearance and muscle stem cell activity during muscle regeneration, but the regulatory mechanisms governing macrophage function during muscle repair are largely unexplored. Here, we uncover a new mechanism of immune modulation operating during skeletal muscle regeneration that is disrupted in aged animals and relies on the regulation of macrophage function. The immune modulator mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is induced following muscle injury in young mice but not in aged animals, and its expression is essential for regenerative success. Regenerative impairments in aged muscle are associated with defects in the repair-associated myeloid response similar to those found in MANF-deficient models and could be improved through MANF delivery. We propose that restoring MANF levels is a viable strategy to improve myeloid response and regenerative capacity in aged muscle.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located protein with cytoprotective effects in neurons and pancreatic β cells in vitro and in models of neurodegeneration and diabetes in vivo. However, the exact mode of MANF action has remained elusive. Here, we show that MANF directly interacts with the ER transmembrane unfolded protein response (UPR) sensor IRE1α, and we identify the binding interface between MANF and IRE1α. The expression of wild-type MANF, but not its IRE1α binding-deficient mutant, attenuates UPR signaling by decreasing IRE1α oligomerization; phosphorylation; splicing of Xbp1, Atf6, and Txnip levels; and protecting neurons from ER stress-induced death. MANF-IRE1α interaction and not MANF-BiP interaction is crucial for MANF pro-survival activity in neurons in vitro and is required to protect dopamine neurons in an animal model of Parkinson's disease. Our data show IRE1α as an intracellular receptor for MANF and regulator of neuronal survival.

Abstract
Cerebral infarction is a common disease characterized by high mortality, a narrow therapeutic window, and limited therapeutic options. Recently, cell therapy based on gene modification has brought a glimmer of hope to the treatment of cerebral infarction although the explicit underlying mechanism is beyond being well dissected. In the present study, we constructed an animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), compared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the sham and MCAO groups by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to explore the potential cell death-related pathways involved in cerebral infarction, and transfected Manf into BMSCs by lentivirus. Subsequently, we injected BMSCs (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells), Manf-modified BMSCs, or lentivirus encoding Manf into the brain. Their effects on MANF content, apoptosis, pyroptosis, infarct volume in the brain, and neurological function were evaluated after MCAO. We found that the DEGs upregulated in four major cell clusters after MCAO and were enriched with not only apoptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis but also with pyroptosis-related pathways. In addition, transfection of Manf into BMSCs significantly increased the expression and secretion of MANF in BMSCs; BMSCs, Manf-modified BMSCs, and Manf treatment all resulted in an increase in Manf content in the brain, a decrease in the expression of apoptosis- and pyroptosis-related molecules, a reduction in infarct volume, and an improvement in neurological function after MCAO. Moreover, Manf-modified BMSCs have the strongest therapeutic effect. Collectively, Manf-modified BMSCs ameliorate ischemic injury after cerebral infarction by repressing apoptosis- and pyroptosis-related molecules, which represents a new cell therapy strategy for cerebral infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low temperature plasma (LTP) exerts a protective effect in inflammation via enhancing MANF expression. Hyperactivation and dysfunction of theca cells induced by inflammatory agents is accompanied by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a common reproductive and endocrine disorder. However, the effect of LTP on theca cells is still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Theca cells were stimulated with IL-1β or TNF-α for 12 h, then treated with LTP for 100 s. After 8 h, medium supernatant and theca cells were collected. Production of androgen from theca cells were detected by ELISA. The PCNA and Annexin V levels in theca cells were detected by using immunofluorescent staining. The levels of PCNA, BCL-2 and BAX were evaluated by western blot and qPCR. MTT assay was used to detect the viability of theca cells. The proportions of apoptosis of theca cells were detected by Flow cytometry. The mRNA levels of androgenic genes were detected by qPCR. The MANF levels in medium supernatant and cell lysate were detected by using ELISA, western and qPCR. BIP and CHOP expressions were detected by using western blot and qPCR. We found that LTP irradiation decreased inflammatory agents-induced upregulation of androgen and androgenic genes in theca cells. And LTP irradiation relieves IL-1β or TNF-α-induced pathological proliferation and apoptosis in theca cells. In terms of mechanism, LTP irradiation increased MANF level in theca cells to inhibit BIP and CHOP expression. CONCLUSION These evidences suggest the protective effect of LTP on theca cells in inflammatory microenvironment, and LTP has the potential clinical application of PCOS.

Abstract
Recent publications regarding the role of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) in various metabolic and degenerative disorders suggest that MANF is both a marker of disease and a possible therapeutic agent. We investigate the role of plasma MANF levels in patients in intensive care units (ICUs) receiving voriconazole (VCZ) therapy while also comparing MANF levels in healthy individuals. A single-center prospective study was conducted. The plasma MANF level in patients in ICU was found to have high interindividual variability and was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P < .01). Compared with patients using VCZ only, patients using both VCZ and amikacin had 3-fold lower MANF concentrations (P < .05). The MANF concentrations also decreased when alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and serum creatinine levels were above the upper limits of the normal range (P < .05) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was below the lower limit of the normal range (P < .01). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that low MANF levels were associated with high ALP levels, high creatinine levels, and low eGFR. The cut-off value of MANF for ALP levels higher than 126 U/L was 0.35 ng/mL (area under curve, AUC = 0.62, 95%CI = 0.50-0.74, P = .044); for serum creatinine levels higher than 104 μmol/L, the cut-off value was 0.41 ng/mL (AUC = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.62-0.87, P = .001); and for eGFR below 80 mL/min, the cut-off value was 0.75 ng/mL (AUC = 0.70, 95%CI = 0.59-0.81, P = .002). Monitoring plasma MANF levels may be of value for clinical decision-making regarding the choice of antibiotics and the prediction of impaired liver function and renal function in patients admitted to an ICU.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia, which can be caused by either an insulin deficit and/or insulin resistance, is the main symptom of Type 2 diabetes, a significant endocrine metabolic illness. Conventional medications, including insulin and oral antidiabetic medicines, can alleviate the signs of diabetes but cannot restore insulin release in a physiologically normal amount. The liver detects and reacts to shifts in the nutritional condition that occur under a wide variety of metabolic situations, making it an essential organ for maintaining energy homeostasis. It also performs a crucial function in glucolipid metabolism through the secretion of hepatokines. Emerging research shows that feeding induces hepatokines release, which regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Notably, these feeding-induced hepatokines act on multiple organs to regulate glucolipotoxicity and thus influence the development of T2DM. In this review, we focus on describing how feeding-induced cross-talk between hepatokines, including Adropin, Manf, Leap2 and Pcsk9, and metabolic organs (e.g.brain, heart, pancreas, and adipose tissue) affects metabolic disorders, thus revealing a novel approach for both controlling and managing of Type 2 diabetes as a promising medication.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 114:109598.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a soluble endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal protein and its expression and secretion can be induced by ER stress. Despite initially being classified as a neurotrophic factor, MANF has been demonstrated to have restorative and protective effects in many different cell types such as neurons, liver cells, retinal cells, cardiac myocytes, and pancreatic β cells. However, underlying molecular mechanisms are complex and remain incompletely understood. The aims of this review are to highlight the latest advances in the understanding of the trophic activities of MANF in tissue repair and regeneration as well as underlying molecular mechanisms. The structural motifs and immune modulation of MANF are also described. We therefore propose that MANF might be a promising therapeutic target for tissue repair.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a novel evolutionarily conserved protein present in both vertebrate and invertebrate species. MANF shows distinct structural and functional properties than the traditional neurotrophic factors (NTF). MANF is composed of an N-terminal saposin-like lipid-binding domain and a C-terminal SAF-A/B, Acinus and PIAS (SAP) domain connected by a short linker. The two well-described activities of MANF include (1) role as a neurotrophic factor that plays direct neuroprotective effects in the nervous system and (2) cell protective effects in the animal models of non-neuronal diseases, including retinal damage, diabetes mellitus, liver injury, myocardial infarction, nephrotic syndrome, etc. The main objective of the current review is to provide up-to-date insights regarding the structure of MANF, mechanisms regulating its expression and secretion, physiological functions in various tissues and organs, protective effects during aging, and potential clinical applications. Together, this review highlights the importance of MANF in reversing age-related dysfunction and geroprotection.

Abstract
Head trauma and delirium are two common conditions in the elderly population. They both carry a heavy burden in terms of mortality and morbidity and are associated with one another through several environmental and clinical factors, such as comorbidities, age, and sex. One factor that may play a role in both these conditions is inflammation, which might also represent a link between them. In particular, head trauma can cause both systemic and neuroinflammation, while delirium appears to be precipitated by inflammatory conditions, while also involving a number of inflammatory pathways in its pathogenesis. Interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α are only two of the main actors in this crosstalk, which also involves microglia and immune cells. An indirect proof is that anti-inflammatory drugs have proven effective in reducing post-traumatic delirium, thus demonstrating the importance of inflammation in the pathophysiology of this disease. In this paper, we have revised the available literature exploring the links between inflammation, head trauma and delirium and we will discuss the mechanisms of this relationship, paying particular attention to the possible future implications.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides that have little or no coding potential. LncRNAs function as key regulators in diverse physiological and pathological processes. However, the roles of lncRNAs in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver injury (ALI) are still elusive. In this study, we report the roles of lncRNA Gm26917 induced by LPS in modulating liver inflammation. As key components of the innate immune system, macrophages play critical roles in the initiation, progression and resolution of ALI. Our studies demonstrated that Gm26917 localized in the cytoplasm of hepatic macrophages and globally regulated the expression of inflammatory genes and the differentiation of macrophages. In vivo study showed that lentivirus-mediated gene silencing of Gm26917 attenuated liver inflammation and protected mice from LPS-induced ALI. Furthermore, mechanistic study showed that the 3'-truncation of Gm26917 interacted with the N-terminus of Annexin A1, a negative regulator of the NF-κB signaling pathway. We also found that Gm26917 knockdown suppressed NF-κB activity by decreasing the ubiquitination of Annexin A1 and its interaction with NEMO. In addition, expression of Gm26917 in inflammatory macrophages was regulated by the transcription factor forkhead box M1 (FOXM1). LPS treatment dramatically increased the binding of FOXM1 to the promoter region of Gm26917 in macrophages. In summary, our findings suggest that lncRNA Gm26917 silencing protects against LPS-induced liver injury by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in macrophages.

Abstract
Cold atmospheric plasma has been widely applied in medical treatment clinically, especially skin diseases. However, the mechanism of cold atmospheric plasma on the treatment of skin diseases is still undefined. In this study, dinitrofluorobenzene-induced atopic dermatitis mice model was constructed. Cold atmospheric plasma was able to decrease skin cells apoptosis, relieve skin inflammation, ER stress and oxidative stress caused by dinitrofluorobenzene stimulation, which was mediated by cold atmospheric plasma-induced MANF expression. In terms of mechanism, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α expression was increased intracellularly after cold atmospheric plasma treatment, which further bound to the promoter region of manf gene and enhanced MANF transcriptional expression. This study reveals that cold atmospheric plasma has a positive effect on atopic dermatitis treatment, also demonstrates the regulatory mechanism of cold atmospheric plasma on MANF expression via HIF-1α, which indicates the potential medical application of cold atmospheric plasma for atopic dermatitis treatment.

Abstract
Stroke is a devastating medical condition with no treatment to hasten recovery. Its abrupt nature results in cataclysmic changes in the affected tissues. Resident cells fail to cope with the cellular stress resulting in massive cell death, which cannot be endogenously repaired. A potential strategy to improve stroke outcomes is to boost endogenous pro-survival pathways. The unfolded protein response (UPR), an evolutionarily conserved stress response, provides a promising opportunity to ameliorate the survival of stressed cells. Recent studies from us and others have pointed toward mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) being a UPR responsive gene with an active role in maintaining proteostasis. Its pro-survival effects have been demonstrated in several disease models such as diabetes, neurodegeneration, and stroke. MANF has an ER-signal peptide and an ER-retention signal; it is secreted by ER calcium depletion and exits cells upon cell death. Although its functions remain elusive, conducted experiments suggest that the endogenous MANF in the ER lumen and exogenously administered MANF protein have different mechanisms of action. Here, we will revisit recent and older bodies of literature aiming to delineate the expression profile of MANF. We will focus on its neuroprotective roles in regulating neurogenesis and inflammation upon post-stroke administration. At the same time, we will investigate commonalities and differences with another UPR responsive gene, X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), which has recently been associated with MANF’s function. This will be the first systematic comparison of these two UPR responsive genes aiming at revealing previously uncovered associations between them. Overall, understanding the mode of action of these UPR responsive genes could provide novel approaches to promote cell survival.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is an urgent respiratory disease without effective treatment. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF)has been demonstrated to play a suppressive role in some inflammatory conditions. However, the effect of MANF on ALI has not yet been reported. In this study, we collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from the patients with or without pulmonary inflammation, and used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce mice ALI model. Mono-macrophage-specific MANF knockout (MKO) mice were constructed and recombinant human MANF protein was used to ALI mice. We found that the endogenous MANF protein in both human BALF and mice lung tissues was increased in inflammatory conditions. MANF level in the macrophages of inflammatory lung was higher than that in normal controls in both human and mice. MANF deficiency in macrophages induced lung inflammation and aggravated LPS-induced lung injury. MANF lowered LPS-induced lung injury, inhibited macrophage polarization to M1 functional type. Meanwhile, MANF inhibited-LPS induced activation of NF-κB signal pathway by down regulating phosphorylated p65in lung tissue and macrophages. These results indicate that MANF acts as a suppressor in ALI via negatively regulating NF-κB activation and macrophages polarization, which may be a novel potential target and shed light on ALI therapy.

Abstract
Excessive lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis in the liver are the major characteristics of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) plays an important role in metabolic homeostasis, raising the possibility that it is involved in NASH. Here, we reduced and increased MANF levels in mice in order to explore its influence on hepatic triglyceride homeostasis, inflammation, and fibrosis during NASH progression. The MANF expression was decreased in Western diet-induced NASH mice. In vivo, liver-specific MANF knockout exacerbated hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis of mice induced by Western diet, while liver-specific MANF overexpression mitigated these NASH pathogenic features. In vitro, knocking down MANF in primary hepatocyte cultures aggravated hepatic steatosis and inflammation, which MANF overexpression markedly attenuated. Studies in vitro and in vivo suggested that MANF regulated hepatic lipid synthesis by modulating SREBP1 expression. Inhibiting SREBP1 in primary hepatocytes blocked lipid accumulation after MANF knockdown. MANF overexpression reversed LXRs agonist GW3965 induced SREBP1 and LIPIN1 expression. MANF decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting NF-κB phosphorylation. These results suggest that MANF can protect against NASH by regulating SREBP1 expression and NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Alcohol exposure during pregnancy is harmful to the fetus and causes a wide range of long-lasting physiological and neurocognitive impairments, collectively referred to as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The neurobehavioral deficits observed in FASD result from structural and functional damages in the brain, with neurodegeneration being the most destructive consequence. Currently, there are no therapies for FASD. It is exigent to delineate the underlying mechanisms of alcohol neurotoxicity and develop an effective strategy of treatment. ER stress, caused by the accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER, is the hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases, including alcohol-induced neurodegeneration. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a newly discovered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responsive neurotrophic factor that regulates diverse neuronal functions. This review summarizes the recent findings revealing the effects of MANF on the CNS and its protective role against neurodegeneration. Particularly, we focus the role of MANF on alcohol-induced ER stress and neurodegeneration and discuss the therapeutic potential of MANF in treating alcohol neurotoxicity such as FASD.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein and a secretory factor and has beneficial effects in multiple diseases. Recent evidence shows that its circulating levels in humans are dynamically regulated under various metabolic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, and cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that MANF may play a role in these pathological states. Also, its downregulation in mice impairs glucose homeostasis, promotes lipid accumulation in the liver, reduces energy expenditure, and induces inflammation. Conversely, MANF overexpression prevents or mitigates some of these metabolic disturbances. In particular, systemic MANF administration alleviates dietary obesity and related metabolic disorders in obese mice. We therefore propose that MANF might be a promising target for treating chronic metabolic diseases.

Abstract
For a long time, how anti-inflammatory factors evolved was largely unknown. In this study, we chose a marine invertebrate, Litopenaeus vannamei, as a model and identified that shrimp mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) was an LPS-induced plasma protein, which exerted its anti-inflammatory roles on shrimp hemocytes by suppressing ERK phosphorylation and Dorsal expression. In addition, we demonstrated that shrimp MANF could be associated with a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) to mediate negative regulation of ERK activation and Dorsal expression. More interestingly, shrimp RPTP-S overexpression in 293T cells could switch shrimp and human MANF-mediated ERK pathway activation to inhibition. In general, our results indicate that this conserved RPTP is the key component for extracellular MANF-mediated ERK pathway inhibition, which gives a possible explanation about why this neurotropic factor could both protect neuron cells from apoptosis and inhibit immune cell M1 activation in various species.

Abstract
Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue (AT) is a hallmark of obesity and contributes to various metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Inflammation in ATs is characterized by macrophage infiltration and the activation of inflammatory pathways mediated by NF-κB, JNK, and NLRP3 inflammasomes. Adipokines, hepatokines and myokines - proteins secreted from AT, the liver and skeletal muscle play regulatory roles in AT inflammation via endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine pathways. For example, obesity is associated with elevated levels of pro-inflammatory adipokines (e.g., leptin, resistin, chemerin, progranulin, RBP4, WISP1, FABP4, PAI-1, Follistatin-like1, MCP-1, SPARC, SPARCL1, and SAA) and reduced levels of anti-inflammatory adipokines such as adiponectin, omentin, ZAG, SFRP5, CTRP3, vaspin, and IL-10. Moreover, some hepatokines (Fetuin A, DPP4, FGF21, GDF15, and MANF) and myokines (irisin, IL-6, and DEL-1) also play pro- or anti-inflammatory roles in AT inflammation. This review aims to provide an updated understanding of these organokines and their role in AT inflammation and related metabolic abnormalities. It serves to highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of these organokines and their clinical significance. Insights into the roles and mechanisms of these organokines could provide novel and potential therapeutic targets for obesity-induced inflammation.

Abstract
An inflamed synovial membrane plays a major role in joint destruction and is characterized by immune cells infiltration and fibroblast proliferation. This proteomic study considers the inflammatory process at the molecular level by analyzing synovial biopsies presenting a histological inflammatory continuum throughout different arthritis joint diseases. Knee synovial biopsies were obtained from osteoarthritis (OA; n = 9), chronic pyrophosphate arthropathy (CPPA; n = 7) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 8) patients. The histological inflammatory score was determined using a semi-quantitative scale based on synovial hyperplasia, lymphocytes, plasmocytes, neutrophils and macrophages infiltration. Proteomic analysis was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Differentially expressed proteins were confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Out of the 1871 proteins identified and quantified by LC-MS/MS, 10 proteins (LAP3, MANF, LCP1, CTSZ, PTPRC, DNAJB11, EML4, SCARA5, EIF3K, C1orf123) were differentially expressed in the synovial membrane of at least one of the three disease groups (RA, OA and CPPA). Significant increased expression of the seven first proteins was detected in RA and correlated to the histological inflammatory score. Proteomics is therefore a powerful tool that provides a molecular pattern to the classical histology usually applied for synovitis characterization. Except for LCP1, CTSZ and PTPRC, all proteins have never been described in human synovitis.

Abstract
The mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), also named as arginine-rich protein (ARP) or arginine-rich mutated in early-stage tumors (ARMET), is a novel evolutionary conserved protein related to unfolded protein response. Growing evidence suggests that MANF critically involves in many ER stress-related diseases with a protective effect. Here, we review the function of MANF based on its structure in neurological and metabolic disorders and summarize its potential applications in disease diagnosis and therapies.

Abstract
During the last decades, numerous basic and clinical studies have been conducted to assess the delivery efficiency of therapeutic agents into the brain and spinal cord parenchyma using several administration routes. Among conventional and in-progress administrative routes, the eligibility of stem cells, viral vectors, and biomaterial systems have been shown in the delivery of NTFs. Despite these manifold advances, the close association between the delivery system and regeneration outcome remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to discuss recent progress in the delivery of these factors and the pros and cons related to each modality.

Human-Specific Regulation of Neurotrophic Factors MANF and CDNF by microRNAs. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22189691.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) and cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) are novel evolutionary conserved trophic factors, which exhibit cytoprotective activity via negative regulation of unfolded protein response (UPR) and inflammation. Despite multiple reports demonstrating detrimental effect of MANF/CDNF downregulation, little is known about the control of their expression. miRNAs—small non-coding RNAs—are important regulators of gene expression. Their dysregulation was demonstrated in multiple pathological processes and their ability to modulate levels of other neurotrophic factors, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), was previously reported. Here, for the first time we demonstrated direct regulation of MANF and CDNF by miRNAs. Using bioinformatic tools, reporter assay and analysis of endogenous MANF and CDNF, we identified that miR-144 controls MANF expression, and miR-134 and miR-141 downregulate CDNF levels. We also demonstrated that this effect is human-specific and is executed via predicted binding sites of corresponding miRNAs. Finally, we found that miR-382 suppressed hCDNF expression indirectly. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time direct regulation of MANF and CDNF expression by specific miRNAs, despite the fact their binding sites are not strongly evolutionary conserved. Furthermore, we demonstrate a functional effect of miR-144 mediated regulation of MANF on ER stress response markers. These findings emphasize that (1) prediction of miRNA targets based on evolutionary conservation may miss biologically meaningful regulatory pairs; and (2) interpretation of miRNA regulatory effects in animal models should be cautiously validated.

Abstract
The cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) together with the mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) form a unique family of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) structurally and functionally different from other proteins with neurotrophic activity. CDNF has no receptors on the cell membrane, is localized mainly in the cavity of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and its primary function is to regulate ER stress. In addition, CDNF is able to suppress inflammation and apoptosis. Due to its functions, CDNF has demonstrated outstanding protective and restorative properties in various models of neuropathology associated with ER stress, including Parkinson's disease (PD). That is why CDNF already passed clinical trials in patients with PD. However, despite the name, CDNF functions extend far beyond the dopamine system in the brain. In particular, there are data on participation of CDNF in the maturation and maintenance of other neurotransmitter systems, regulation of the processes of neuroplasticity and non-motor behavior. In the present review, we discuss the features of CDNF structure and functions, its protective and regenerative properties.

Abstract
Malvidin (MV) and its derivatives, such as malvidin-3-O-guaiacol (Mv3C) and malvidin-3-O-6-(acrylic acid-(2-hydroxy,4-carboxy-cyclohexanol)ester)-guaiacol (Mv3ACEC), are natural compounds with antioxidant properties. However, the basic mechanisms underlying their functional activities are unclear. In this study, we show that MV, Mv3C, and Mv3ACEC inhibit reactive oxygen species production and malondialdehyde content, promote glutathione peroxidase activity, and increase superoxide dismutase levels in ARPE-19 cells treated with H2O2. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis revealed that MV, Mv3C, and Mv3ACEC regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathways related to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Interestingly, Mv3C and Mv3ACEC showed greater beneficial properties than MV. Our results show that MV and its derivatives have potential as therapeutic compounds for ocular diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract
Background The increased inflammation is closely correlated with post-operative delirium (POD). Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) shows protective effect on inflammatory diseases. However, the relationship between MANF and POD is still undefined. This study aimed to explore the potential effect of MANF on POD. Methods Pre- and post-operative levels of MANF and inflammatory cytokines were measured in serum from POD and non-POD patients by ELISA, as well as endogenous MANF in serum from healthy individuals with different ages. Endogenous MANF in mice brain from different ages was also measured. Abdominal surgery was performed for POD mice model. POD-like behavior changes in mice were evaluated using buried food test, open field test and Y maze test. Results Endogenous MANF was decreased in age-dependent manner in both humans and mice. The pre-operative level of MANF in serum from POD patients was lower compared with that in non-POD patients (p=0.016). MANF increase in serum after surgery was less in POD patients than that in non-POD patients (p<0.001). In mice, recombinant human MANF reversed the surgery-induced elongation of latency to eat food, increase in latency to center and increase in time in center in open field test, and also increase in duration in novel arm in Y maze test. In addition, MANF inhibited surgery-induced inflammation, microglial activation and M1 polarization in mice. Conclusion The relative low MANF level may contribute to POD in the elderly. MANF has a protective role against POD-like behavior changes in mice.

Abstract
Previous studies have confirmed that astragaloside (AST) exerts a positive effect on alleviating synovial and joint injury in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the precise mechanisms through which AST acts in the treatment of RA remain unclear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LOC100912373 was identified as a key gene related to RA and has been proven to interact with miR-17-5p, in order to regulate the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 and protein kinase B axis (PDK1/AKT axis). The present study aimed to determine whether AST may treat RA through the interaction between lncRNA LOC100912373 and the miR-17-5p/PDK1 axis. MTT assays and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation and cell cycle progression of AST-treated fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). The expression of lncRNA LOC100912373 and miR-17-5p, as well as relative the mRNA expression of the PDK1 and AKT genes following AST intervention was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), immunofluorescence and western blot analysis. The results revealed that AST inhibited FLS proliferation, reduced lncRNA LOC100912373 expression levels, increased miR-17-5p expression levels, and decreased the PDK1 and p-AKT expression levels. Additionally, consecutive rescue experiments revealed that AST counteracted the effects of lncRNA LOC100912373 overexpression on FLS proliferation and cell cycle progression. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that AST inhibits FLS proliferation by regulating the expression of lncRNA LOC100912373 and the miR-17-5p/PDK1 axis.

Abstract
Bacterial myocarditis is a key cause leading to myocardial damage and cardiac dysfunction. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been found to be an anti-inflammatory factor. This study is to explore the effect of MANF on LPS-induced myocardial inflammation and macrophage differentiation. The myocarditis mouse model was constructed by LPS treatment. Myocardial damage and serum inflammatory factors were evaluated by ELISA. RT-qPCR was used to detect mRNA of M1/M2 macrophage markers. Western blot, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescent staining were used to examine myocardial M1/M2 macrophages and NF-κB activation. Mono-macrophage-derived MANF deficiency enhanced LPS-induced inflammatory response and increased M1 macrophages in myocardium tissues, further causing more severe myocardial injury and lower survival rate of mice. Also, LPS-induced myocardial NF-κB activation was strengthened after mono-macrophage-derived MANF knockout. Mono-macrophage-derived MANF inhibits bacterial myocarditis and myocardial M1 macrophage differentiation, which is potential to be used for bacterial myocarditis treatment clinically.

Abstract
The super healer Murphy Roths Large (MRL) mouse represents the “holy grail” of mammalian regenerative model to decipher the key mechanisms that underlies regeneration in mammals. At a time when mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy represents the most promising approach to treat degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA), identification of key factors responsible for the regenerative potential of MSC derived from MRL mouse would be a major step forward for regenerative medicine. In the present study, we assessed and compared MSC derived from MRL (MRL MSC) and C57BL/6 (BL6 MSC) mice. First, we compare the phenotype and the differentiation potential of MRL and BL6 MSC and did not observe any difference. Then, we evaluated the proliferation and migration potential of the cells and found that while MRL MSC proliferate at a slower rate than BL6 MSC, they migrate at a significantly higher rate. This higher migration potential is mediated, in part, by MRL MSC-secreted products since MRL MSC conditioned medium that contains a complex of released factors significantly increased the migration potential of BL6 MSC. A comparative analysis of the secretome by quantitative shotgun proteomics and Western blotting revealed that MRL MSC produce and release higher levels of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) as compared to MSC derived from BL6, BALB/c, and DBA1 mice. MANF knockdown in MRL MSC using a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) reduced both MRL MSC migration potential in scratch wound assay and their regenerative potential in the ear punch model in BL6 mice. Finally, injection of MRL MSC silenced for MANF did not protect mice from OA development. In conclusion, our results evidence that the enhanced regenerative potential and protection from OA of MRL mice might be, in part, attributed to their MSC, an effective reservoir of MANF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) perturbations are novel subcellular effectors involved in the ischaemia-reperfusion injury. As an ER stress-inducible protein, mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been proven to be increased during ischaemic brain injury. However, the role of MANF in liver ischaemia reperfusion (I/R) injury has not yet been studied. METHODS To investigate the role of MANF in the process of liver ischaemia-reperfusion, Hepatocyte-specific MANF knockout (MANFhep-/- ) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were used in our research. Mice partial (70%) warm hepatic I/R model was established by vascular occlusion. We detected the serum levels of MANF in both liver transplant patients and WT mice before and after liver I/R injury. Recombinant human MANF (rhMANF) was injected into the tail vein before 1 hour occlusion. AST, ALT and Suzuki score were used to evaluate the extent of I/R injury. OGD/R test was performed on primary hepatocytes to simulate IRI in vitro. RNA sequence and RT-PCR were used to detect the cellular signal pathway activation while MANF knockout. RESULTS We found that MANF expression and secretion are dramatically up-regulated during hepatic I/R. Hepatocyte-specific MANF knockout aggravates the I/R injury through the over-activated ER stress. The systemic administration of rhMANF before ischaemia has the potential to ameliorate I/R-triggered UPR and liver injury. Further study showed that MANF deficiency activated ATF4/CHOP and JNK/c-JUN/CHOP pathways, and rhMANF inhibited the activation of the two proapoptotic pathways caused by MANF deletion. CONCLUSION Collectively, our study unravels a previously unknown relationship among MANF, UPR and hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Heavy alcohol drinking is associated with pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is initiated by the damage to the pancreatic acinar cells. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been shown to play an important role in alcohol-induced pancreatic damage. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an ER stress-inducible protein. The aim of the study was to determine whether MANF can ameliorate alcohol-induced ER stress and cellular damages to pancreatic acinar cells. METHODS Alcohol-induced damage to mouse pancreatic 266-6 acinar cells was determined by MTT and flow cytometry. MANF expression was downregulated by MANF siRNA using the Neon Transfection System. The overexpression of MANF was performed by the infection with the adenoviral vector carrying mouse MANF gene. The expression of ER stress markers was determined by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. RESULTS Alcohol caused ER stress, oxidative stress and induced apoptosis of 266-6 acinar cells. Recombinant human MANF alleviated alcohol-induced ER stress and cell death by inhibiting IRE1-caspase 12-caspase 3 apoptotic pathway. Overexpression of mouse MANF also protected cells against alcohol-induced apoptosis. In contrast, inhibiting MANF by siRNA exacerbated alcohol-induced cellular damage. CONCLUSIONS MANF was protective against alcohol-induced ER stress and cellular injury in pancreatic acinar cells. The findings suggest a potential therapeutic value of MANF for alcoholic pancreatitis.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress-regulated protein exhibiting cytoprotective properties through a poorly understood mechanism in various in vitro and in vivo models of neuronal and non-neuronal damage. Although initially characterized as a secreted neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopamine neurons, MANF has recently gained more interest for its intracellular role in regulating the ER homeostasis, including serving as a cofactor of the chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). We aimed for a better understanding of the neuroprotective mechanisms of MANF. Here we show for the first time that MANF promotes the survival of ER-stressed neurons in vitro as a general unfolded protein response (UPR) regulator, affecting several UPR pathways simultaneously. Interestingly, MANF does not affect naïve neurons. We hypothesize that MANF regulates UPR signaling toward a mode more compatible with neuronal survival. Screening of MANF interacting proteins from two mammalian cell lines revealed a conserved interactome of 15 proteins including several ER chaperones such as GRP78, GRP170, protein disulfide isomerase family A member 1, and protein disulfide isomerase family A member 6. Further characterization confirmed previously published finding that MANF is a cofactor of GRP78 interacting with its nucleotide binding domain. Using microscale thermophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we discovered that MANF is an ATP binding protein and that ATP blocks the MANF-GRP78 interaction. Interestingly, functional analysis of the antiapoptotic properties of MANF mutants in cultured neurons revealed divergent roles of MANF as a GRP78 cofactor and as an antiapoptotic regulator of UPR. We conclude that the co-factor type interaction with GRP78 is dispensable for the survival-promoting activity of MANF in neurons.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is known to induce pro-inflammatory response and ultimately leads to cell death. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an ER-localized protein whose expression and secretion is induced by ER stress and a crucial survival factor. However, the underlying mechanism of how MANF exerts its cytoprotective activity remains unclear due to the lack of knowledge of its receptor. Here we show that Neuroplastin (NPTN) is such a receptor for MANF. Biochemical analysis shows the physiological interaction between MANF and NPTN on the cell surface. Binding of MANF to NPTN mitigates the inflammatory response and apoptosis via suppression of NF-kβ signaling. Our results demonstrate that NPTN is a cell surface receptor for MANF, which modulates inflammatory responses and cell death, and that the MANF-NPTN survival signaling described here provides potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of ER stress-related disorders, including diabetes mellitus, neurodegeneration, retinal degeneration, and Wolfram syndrome. Neuroplastin (NPTN) is a plasma membrane receptor for MANF NPTN regulates MANF-mediated suppression of inflammation NPTN regulates cell survival mediated by MANF under ER stress MANF-NPTN survival pathway provides potential therapeutic targets for ER stress-related disorders

Abstract
The outburst of renal inflammatory response has been found to be a crucial cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Attenuating the renal inflammation is an effective way for AKI treatment. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been proven to be an anti-inflammatory factor. However, the effect of MANF on renal inflammation induced by AKI is unknown. In this study, we have investigated the effect of mono-macrophage-derived MANF on AKI. We constructed the mono-macrophage-specific MANF knockout (Mø MANF-/-) mouse and used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce AKI in wild-type (WT) and Mø MANF-/- mice. With mono-macrophage-specific MANF deficiency, Mø MANF-/- mice had a lower survival rate, more severe renal injury, and higher serum level of pro-inflammatory TNF-α after AKI was induced by LPS. Also, compared with WT mice, there were more M1 macrophages in renal tissues of Mø MANF-/- mice with LPS treatment, which might be attributed to the enhanced NF-κB activation in the renal microenvironment. Our study indicates the immunoregulatory role of mono-macrophage-derived MANF in the pathophysiological process of AKI, as well as the potential clinical application of MANF for AKI treatment.

Abstract
Astrocytes play important roles in numerous central nervous system disorders including autoimmune inflammatory, hypoxic, and degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, ischemic stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. Depending on the spatial and temporal context, activated astrocytes may contribute to the pathogenesis, progression, and recovery of disease. Recent progress in the dissection of transcriptional responses to varying forms of central nervous system insult has shed light on the mechanisms that govern the complexity of reactive astrocyte functions. While a large body of research focuses on the pathogenic effects of reactive astrocytes, little is known about how they limit inflammation and contribute to tissue regeneration. However, these protective astrocyte pathways might be of relevance for the understanding of the underlying pathology in disease and may lead to novel targeted approaches to treat autoimmune inflammatory and degenerative disorders of the central nervous system. In this review article, we have revisited the emerging concept of protective astrocyte functions and discuss their role in the recovery from inflammatory and ischemic disease as well as their role in degenerative disorders. Focusing on soluble astrocyte derived mediators, we aggregate the existing knowledge on astrocyte functions in the maintenance of homeostasis as well as their reparative and tissue-protective function after acute lesions and in neurodegenerative disorders. Finally, we give an outlook of how these mediators may guide future therapeutic strategies to tackle yet untreatable disorders of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Atrial apoptosis has been found to be majorly involved in the pathogenesis of human atrial fibrillation (AF). Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor exerts an antiapoptotic effect for multiple cell types. However, the correlation between MANF and atrial apoptosis in AF is still undefined. In this study, 59 patients with valvular or congenital heart disease were divided into 2 groups: AF group and sinus rhythm (SR) group. We found that the apoptotic atrial myocytes in the right atrial appendage tissues of the AF group were significantly more than those of the SR group, whereas mRNA and protein levels of MANF in the AF group were significantly down-regulated compared with those in the SR group. The serum MANF in patients with AF was markedly lower than that in patients with SR, which was inversely correlated with atrial apoptosis in patients with AF. In addition, the AF group had the greater inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress compared with the SR group. These findings suggest that MANF downregulation may lead to more atrial apoptosis in human chronic AF, indicating MANF as a potential therapeutic agent in AF treatment.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) and cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal proteins that confer trophic activities in a wide range of tissues under diverse pathological conditions. Despite initially being classified as neurotrophic factors, neither protein structurally nor functionally resembles bona fide neurotrophic factors. Their highly homologous structures comprise a unique globular, saposin-like domain within the N-terminus joined by a flexible linker to a C-terminus containing a SAP-like domain, CXXC motif and an ER retention sequence. Neurotrophic factors exert effects by binding to cognate receptors in the plasma membrane; however, no cell surface receptors have been identified for MANF and CDNF. Both can act as unfolded protein response (UPR) genes that modulate the UPR and inflammatory processes. The trophic activity of MANF and CDNF extends beyond the central nervous system with MANF being crucial for the development of pancreatic β cells and both have trophic effects in a variety of diseases related to the liver, heart, skeletal tissue, kidney and peripheral nervous system. In this article, the unique features of MANF and CDNF, such as their structure and mechanisms of action related to ER stress and inflammation, will be reviewed. Recently identified interactions with lipids and membrane trafficking will also be described. Lastly, their function and therapeutic potential in different diseases including a recent clinical trial using CDNF to treat Parkinson's disease will be discussed. Collectively, this review will highlight MANF and CDNF as broad-acting trophic factors that regulate functions of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Aims Mesencephalic astrocyte‐derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a secretory neurotrophic factor protein that promotes repair after neuronal injury. The microglia cell surface receptor (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐2; TREM2) regulates the production of pro‐ and antiinflammatory mediators after stroke. Here, we study MANF and TREM2 expression after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) and explore if docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) treatment exerts a potentiating effect. Methods We used 2 hours of the MCAo model in rats and intravenously administered DHA or vehicle at 3 hours after the onset of MCAo. Neurobehavioral assessment was performed on days 1, 3, 7, and 14; MANF and TREM2 expression was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results MANF was upregulated in neurons and astrocytes on days 1, 7, and 14, and TREM2 was expressed on macrophages in the ischemic penumbra and dentate gyrus (DG) on days 7 and 14. DHA improved neurobehavioral recovery, attenuated infarct size on days 7 and 14, increased MANF and decreased TREM2 expression in ischemic core, penumbra, DG, and enhanced neurogenesis on Day 14. Conclusion MANF and TREM2 protein abundance is robustly increased after MCAo, and DHA treatment potentiated MANF abundance, decreased TREM2 expression, improved neurobehavioral recovery, reduced infarction, and provided enhanced neuroprotection.
