Horne BD, Anderson JL, Haddad F, May HT, Le VT, Knight S, Bair TL, Knowlton KU. Periodic Fasting and Acute Cardiac Events in Patients Evaluated for COVID-19: An Observational Prospective Cohort Study. Nutrients 2024; 16:2075. [PMID: 38999823 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132075] [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: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodic fasting was previously associated with greater longevity and a lower incidence of heart failure (HF) in a pre-pandemic population. In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), periodic fasting was associated with a lower risk of death or hospitalization. This study evaluated the association between periodic fasting and HF hospitalization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). METHODS Patients enrolled in the INSPIRE registry from February 2013 to March 2020 provided periodic fasting information and were followed into the pandemic (n = 5227). Between March 2020 and February 2023, N = 2373 patients were studied, with n = 601 COVID-positive patients being the primary study population (2836 had no COVID-19 test; 18 were excluded due to fasting <5 years). A Cox regression was used to evaluate HF admissions, MACEs, and other endpoints through March 2023, adjusting for covariables, including time-varying COVID-19 vaccination. RESULTS In patients positive for COVID-19, periodic fasting was reported by 180 (30.0% of 601), who periodically fasted over 43.1 ± 19.2 years (min: 7, max: 83). HF hospitalization (n = 117, 19.5%) occurred in 13.3% of fasters and 22.1% of non-fasters [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.63, CI = 0.40, 0.99; p = 0.044]. Most HF admissions were exacerbations, with a prior HF diagnosis in 111 (94.9%) patients hospitalized for HF. Fasting was also associated with a lower MACE risk (aHR = 0.64, CI = 0.43, 0.96; p = 0.030). In n = 1772 COVID-negative patients (29.7% fasters), fasting was not associated with HF hospitalization (aHR = 0.82, CI = 0.64, 1.05; p = 0.12). In COVID-positive and negative patients combined, periodic fasting was associated with lower mortality (aHR = 0.60, CI = 0.39, 0.93; p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Routine periodic fasting was associated with less HF hospitalization in patients positive for COVID-19.

Inflamm Res 2024; 73:739-751. [PMID: 38493256 PMCID: PMC11058052 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-024-01863-y] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cellular NAD+ declines in inflammatory states associated with increased activity of the leukocyte-expressed NADase CD38. In this study, we tested the potential role of therapeutically targeting CD38 and NAD+ in gout. METHODS We studied cultured mouse wild type and CD38 knockout (KO) murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) stimulated by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals and used the air pouch gouty inflammation model. RESULTS MSU crystals induced CD38 in BMDMs in vitro, associated with NAD+ depletion, and IL-1β and CXCL1 release, effects reversed by pharmacologic CD38 inhibitors (apigenin, 78c). Mouse air pouch inflammatory responses to MSU crystals were blunted by CD38 KO and apigenin. Pharmacologic CD38 inhibition suppressed MSU crystal-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and increased anti-inflammatory SIRT3-SOD2 activity in macrophages. BMDM RNA-seq analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed CD38 to control multiple MSU crystal-modulated inflammation pathways. Top DEGs included the circadian rhythm modulator GRP176, and the metalloreductase STEAP4 that mediates iron homeostasis, and promotes oxidative stress and NF-κB activation when it is overexpressed. CONCLUSIONS CD38 and NAD+ depletion are druggable targets controlling the MSU crystal- induced inflammation program. Targeting CD38 and NAD+ are potentially novel selective molecular approaches to limit gouty arthritis.

Abstract
The antipsychotic drug clozapine demonstrates superior efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but its intracellular mode of action is not completely understood. Here, we analysed the effects of clozapine (2.5-20 µM) on metabolic fluxes, cell respiration, and intracellular ATP in human HL60 cells. Some results were confirmed in leukocytes of clozapine-treated patients. Neuroreceptor inhibition under clozapine reduced Akt activation with decreased glucose uptake, thereby inducing ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Metabolic profiling by liquid-chromatography/mass-spectrometry revealed downregulation of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, thereby saving glucose to keep the electron transport chain working. Mitochondrial respiration was dampened by upregulation of the F0F1-ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) leading to 30-40% lower oxygen consumption in HL60 cells. Blocking IF1 expression by cotreatment with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) increased apoptosis of HL60 cells. Upregulation of the mitochondrial citrate carrier shifted excess citrate to the cytosol for use in lipogenesis and for storage as triacylglycerol in lipid droplets (LDs). Accordingly, clozapine-treated HL60 cells and leukocytes from clozapine-treated patients contain more LDs than untreated cells. Since mitochondrial disturbances are described in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, clozapine-induced mitohormesis is an excellent way to escape energy deficits and improve cell survival.

Abstract
NAD+ biology is involved in controlling redox balance, functioning as a coenzyme in numerous enzymatic reactions, and is a cofactor for Sirtuin enzymes and a substrate for multiple regulatory enzyme reactions within and outside the cell. At the same time, NAD+ levels are diminished with aging and are consumed during the development of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases linked to aberrant immune activation. Direct NAD+ augmentation via the NAD+ salvage and Priess-Handler pathways is being investigated as a putative therapeutic intervention to improve the healthspan in inflammation-linked diseases. In this review, we survey NAD+ biology and its pivotal roles in the regulation of immunity and inflammation. Furthermore, we discuss emerging studies evaluate NAD+ boosting in murine models and in human diseases, and we highlight areas of research that remain unresolved in understanding the mechanisms of action of these nutritional supplementation strategies.

Abstract
NAD+ boosting via nicotinamide riboside (NR) confers anti-inflammatory effects. However, its underlying mechanisms and therapeutic potential remain incompletely defined. Here, we showed that NR increased the expression of CC-chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) in human M1 macrophages by flow cytometric analysis of cell surface receptors. Consequently, chemokine ligand 19 (CCL19, ligand for CCR7)-induced macrophage migration was enhanced following NR administration. Metabolomics analysis revealed that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was increased by NR in human monocytes and in human serum following in vivo NR supplementation. Furthermore, NR-mediated upregulation of macrophage migration through CCL19/CCR7 was dependent on PGE2 synthesis. We also demonstrated that NR upregulated PGE2 synthesis through SIRT3-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). The NR/SIRT3/migration axis was further validated using the scratch-test model where NR and SIRT3 promoted more robust migration across a uniformly disrupted macrophage monolayer. Thus, NR-mediated metabolic regulation of macrophage migration and wound healing may have therapeutic potential for the topical management of chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Overactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in chronic low-grade inflammation associated with various disease states, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Emerging evidence, mostly from cell and animal models of disease, supports a role for ketosis in general, and the main circulating ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in particular, in reducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation to improve chronic inflammation. As a result, interventions that can induce ketosis (e.g., fasting, intermittent fasting, time-restricted feeding/eating, very low-carbohydrate high-fat ketogenic diets) and/or increase circulating BHB (e.g., exogenous ketone supplementation) have garnered increasing interest for their therapeutic potential. The purpose of the present review is to summarize our current understanding of the literature on how ketogenic interventions impact the NLRP3 inflammasome across human, rodent and cell models. Overall, there is convincing evidence that ketogenic interventions, likely acting through multiple interacting mechanisms in a cell-, disease- and context-specific manner, can reduce NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The evidence supports a direct effect of BHB, although it is important to consider the myriad of other metabolic responses to fasting or ketogenic diet interventions (e.g., elevated lipolysis, low insulin, stable glucose, negative energy balance) that may also impact innate immune responses. Future research is needed to translate promising findings from discovery science to clinical application.

Abstract
Lipid-derived acetyl-CoA is shown to be the major carbon source for histone acetylation. However, there is no direct evidence demonstrating lipid metabolic pathway contribututions to this process. Mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) catalyzes the final step of ß-oxidation, the aerobic process catabolizing fatty acids (FA) into acetyl-CoA. To investigate this in the context of immunometabolism, we generated macrophage cell line lacking ACAT1. 13C-carbon tracing combined with mass spectrometry confirmed incorporation of FA-derived carbons into histone H3 and this incorporation was reduced in ACAT1 KO macrophage cells. RNA-seq identified a subset of genes downregulated in ACAT1 KO cells including STAT1/2 and interferon stimulated genes (ISGs). CHIP analysis demonstrated reduced acetyl-H3 binding to STAT1 promoter/enhancer regions. Increasing histone acetylation rescued STAT1/2 expression in ACAT1 KO cells. Concomitantly, ligand triggered IFNβ release was blunted in ACAT1 KO cells and rescued by reconstitution of ACAT1. Furthermore, ACAT1 promotes FA-mediated histone acetylation in an acetylcarnitine shuttle-dependent manner. In patients with obesity, levels of ACAT1 and histone acetylation are abnormally elevated. Thus, our study identified a novel link between ACAT1 mediated FA metabolism and epigenetic modification on STAT1/2 that uncovers a regulatory role of lipid metabolism in innate immune signaling and opens novel avenues for interventions in human diseases such as obesity.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7), as a family of NAD+-dependent protein modifying enzymes, have various catalytic functions, such as deacetylases, dealkalylases, and deribonucleases. The Sirtuins family is directly or indirectly involved in pathophysiological processes such as glucolipid metabolism, oxidative stress, DNA repair and inflammatory response through various pathways and assumes an important role in several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertension and heart failure. A growing number of studies supports that metabolic and bioenergetic reprogramming directs the sequential process of inflammation. Failure of homeostatic restoration leads to many inflammatory diseases, and that macrophages are the central cells involving the inflammatory response and are the main source of inflammatory cytokines. Regulation of cellular metabolism has emerged as a fundamental process controlling macrophage function, but its exact signaling mechanisms remain to be revealed. Understanding the precise molecular basis of metabolic control of macrophage inflammatory processes may provide new approaches for targeting immune metabolism and inflammation. Here, we provide an update of studies in cardiovascular disease on the function and role of sirtuins in macrophage inflammation and metabolism, as well as drug candidates that may interfere with sirtuins, pointing to future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Energy restriction, including calorie restriction and fasting, has garnered significant attention for its potential therapeutic effects on a range of chronic diseases (such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer) and aging. Since macrophages are critical players in many diseases, their response to energy restriction may impact disease outcomes. However, the diverse metabolic patterns and functions of macrophages can lead to variability in the effects of energy restriction on macrophages across different tissues and disease states. This review outlines the effects of energy restriction on macrophages in several diseases, offering valuable guidance for future studies and insights into the clinical applications of calorie restriction and fasting.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates by gut microbiota play a crucial role in regulating host physiology. Among them, acetate, propionate, and butyrate are key players in various biological processes. Recent research has revealed their significant functions in immune and inflammatory responses. For instance, butyrate reduces the development of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) generating cells while promoting the development of regulatory T (Treg) cells. Propionate inhibits the initiation of a Th2 immune response by dendritic cells (DCs). Notably, SCFAs have an inhibitory impact on the polarization of M2 macrophages, emphasizing their immunomodulatory properties and potential for therapeutics. In animal models of asthma, both butyrate and propionate suppress the M2 polarization pathway, thus reducing allergic airway inflammation. Moreover, dysbiosis of gut microbiota leading to altered SCFA production has been implicated in prostate cancer progression. SCFAs trigger autophagy in cancer cells and promote M2 polarization in macrophages, accelerating tumor advancement. Manipulating microbiota- producing SCFAs holds promise for cancer treatment. Additionally, SCFAs enhance the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) by blocking histone deacetylase, resulting in increased production of antibacterial effectors and improved macrophage-mediated elimination of microorganisms. This highlights the antimicrobial potential of SCFAs and their role in host defense mechanisms. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the latest research on the functional aspects and underlying mechanisms of SCFAs in relation to macrophage activities in a wide range of diseases, including infectious diseases and cancers. By elucidating the intricate interplay between SCFAs and macrophage functions, this review aims to contribute to the understanding of their therapeutic potential and pave the way for future interventions targeting SCFAs in disease management.

Human fasting modulates macrophage function and upregulates multiple bioactive metabolites that extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans: a pilot clinical study. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 117:286-297. [PMID: 36811567 PMCID: PMC10196604 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2022.10.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodic prolonged fasting (PF) extends lifespan in model organisms and ameliorates multiple disease states both clinically and experimentally owing, in part, to its ability to modulate the immune system. However, the relationship between metabolic factors, immunity, and longevity during PF remains poorly characterized especially in humans. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to observe the effects of PF in human subjects on the clinical and experimental markers of metabolic and immune health and uncover underlying plasma-borne factors that may be responsible for these effects. METHODS In this rigorously controlled pilot study (ClinicalTrial.gov identifier, NCT03487679), 20 young males and females participated in a 3-d study protocol including assessments of 4 distinct metabolic states: 1) overnight fasted baseline state, 2) 2-h postprandial fed state, 3) 36-h fasted state, and 4) final 2-h postprandial re-fed state 12 h after the 36-h fasting period. Clinical and experimental markers of immune and metabolic health were assessed for each state along with comprehensive metabolomic profiling of participant plasma. Bioactive metabolites identified to be upregulated in circulation after 36 h of fasting were then assessed for their ability to mimic the effects of fasting in isolated human macrophage as well as the ability to extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. RESULTS We showed that PF robustly altered the plasma metabolome and conferred beneficial immunomodulatory effects on human macrophages. We also identified 4 bioactive metabolites that were upregulated during PF (spermidine, 1-methylnicotinamide, palmitoylethanolamide, and oleoylethanolamide) that could replicate these immunomodulatory effects. Furthermore, we found that these metabolites and their combination significantly extended the median lifespan of C. elegans by as much as 96%. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study reveal multiple functionalities and immunological pathways affected by PF in humans, identify candidates for the development of fasting mimetic compounds, and uncover targets for investigation in longevity research.

Abstract
SIRT3, the primary mitochondrial deacetylase, regulates the functions of mitochondrial proteins including metabolic enzymes and respiratory chain components. Although SIRT3's functions in peripheral tissues are well established, the significance of its downregulation in neurodegenerative diseases is beginning to emerge. SIRT3 plays a key role in brain energy metabolism and provides substrate flexibility to neurons. It also facilitates metabolic coupling between fuel substrate-producing tissues and fuel-consuming tissues. SIRT3 mediates the health benefits of lifestyle-based modifications such as calorie restriction and exercise. SIRT3 deficiency is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), a precondition for diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The pure form of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rare, and it has been reported to coexist with these diseases in aging populations. SIRT3 downregulation leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and inflammation, potentially triggering factors of AD pathogenesis. Recent studies have also suggested that SIRT3 may act through multiple pathways to reduce plaque formation in the AD brain. In this review, we give an overview of SIRT3's roles in brain physiology and pathology and discuss several activators of SIRT3 that can be considered potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of dementia.

Abstract
Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is a deacetylase that plays an important role in normal physiological activities by regulating a variety of substrates. Considerable evidence has shown that the content and activity of SIRT3 are altered in neurological diseases. Furthermore, SIRT3 affects the occurrence and development of neurological diseases. In most cases, SIRT3 can inhibit clinical manifestations of neurological diseases by promoting autophagy, energy production, and stabilization of mitochondrial dynamics, and by inhibiting neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress (OS). However, SIRT3 may sometimes have the opposite effect. SIRT3 can promote the transfer of microglia. Microglia in some cases promote ischemic brain injury, and in some cases inhibit ischemic brain injury. Moreover, SIRT3 can promote the accumulation of ceramide, which can worsen the damage caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). This review comprehensively summarizes the different roles and related mechanisms of SIRT3 in neurological diseases. Moreover, to provide more ideas for the prognosis of neurological diseases, we summarize several SIRT3-mediated rehabilitation training methods.

Abstract
The role of the gut-brain axis in maintaining the brain's and gut's homeostasis has been gradually recognized in recent years. The connection between the gut and the brain takes center stage. In this scenario, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome promotes inflammatory cell recruitment. It plays a crucial role in coordinating host physiology and immunity. Recent evidence shows how vital the gut-brain axis is for maintaining brain and gut homeostasis. However, more research is needed to determine the precise causal link between changed gut microbiota structure and NLRP3 activation in pathogenic circumstances. This review examines the connection between gut microbiota and the NLRP3 inflammasome. We describe how both dynamically vary in clinical cases and the external factors affecting both. Finally, we suggest that the crosstalk between the gut microbiota and NLRP3 is involved in signaling in the gut-brain axis, which may be a potential pathological mechanism for CNS diseases and intestinal disorders.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created an unprecedented burden on human health and on the function and interaction of societies across the globe. Public health preventive measures, vaccines, and antivirals were key components of the world-wide response to the health emergency. Due to the uncoordinated and variably successful response to COVID-19 and the ability of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to rapidly mutate, SARS-CoV-2 continues to create considerable difficulty for humanity today. Additional preventive or therapeutic modalities are needed to help people to achieve the best possible health outcomes in the context of the evolving COVID-19 threat. Intermittent fasting is a potential complementary therapy that not only impacts chronic disease risk but also has good evidence of an impact on infectious diseases. While the data regarding fasting and COVID-19 outcomes are very limited, the conceptual connection of fasting to better outcomes includes a variety of mechanisms in human biology. This paper reviews the known mechanisms of disease impacted by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the potential or likely direct or indirect counteractions that fasting may provide that may reduce the severity of COVID-19 and help to realize the best possible health outcomes. Furthermore, fasting adds no financial cost to a care plan and, when practiced safely, is available to most adults without limitation. Further research is needed on the impact of intermittent fasting on human health in the fight against infectious diseases including COVID-19.

Abstract
The mitochondrion is an intracellular organelle thought to originate from endosymbiosis between an ancestral eukaryotic cell and an α-proteobacterium. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, and can control several important processes within the cell, such as cell death. Conversely, dysregulation of mitochondria possibly contributes to the pathophysiology of several autoimmune diseases. Defects in mitochondria can be caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome or by chronic exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines, including type I interferons. Following the release of intact mitochondria or mitochondrial components into the cytosol or the extracellular space, the bacteria-like molecular motifs of mitochondria can elicit pro-inflammatory responses by the innate immune system. Moreover, antibodies can target mitochondria in autoimmune diseases, suggesting an interplay between the adaptive immune system and mitochondria. In this Review, we discuss the roles of mitochondria in rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. An understanding of the different contributions of mitochondria to distinct rheumatic diseases or manifestations could permit the development of novel therapeutic strategies and the use of mitochondria-derived biomarkers to inform pathogenesis.

Abstract
Autophagy is a complex degradation pathway through which damaged or dysfunctional proteins and organelles are removed. Its pharmacological modulators have been extensively used in a wide range of basic research and preclinical studies. However, the effects of these inhibitors on metabolism, in addition to autophagy inhibition, are not fully elucidated. Chloroquine is a clinically relevant compound that inhibits autophagy by preventing the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of chloroquine on mitochondrial quality control and respiratory function by utilizing 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes treated with chloroquine at various time points. We found that chloroquine could disturb genes related to mitochondrial fission, biogenesis, and mitophagy, leading to mitochondrial DNA damage. Although the inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine resulted in an increased prohibitin expression, respiratory function was downregulated in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, chloroquine treatment induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and metabolic dysregulation. These data demonstrated that chloroquine significantly affected mitochondrial respiratory function and metabolism, which was consistent with impaired mitochondrial quality associated with autophagy inhibition.

Abstract
Dietary restriction (DR) is defined as a moderate reduction in food intake while avoiding malnutrition. The beneficial effects of DR are being increasingly acknowledged in aging and in a series of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, for example, Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, the pathogenesis of PD remains elusive and there is no cure for it in spite of intensive research over decades. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the efficacy of DR on PD, focusing on the underlying mechanisms involving general metabolism, neuroendocrinolgy, neuroinflammation, gut microbiome, and so on. We anticipate that this review will provide future perspectives for PD prevention and treatment.

Mitigation of honokiol on fluoride-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cognitive deficits through activating AMPK/PGC-1α/Sirt3. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 437:129381.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute greatly to fluoride-induced cognitive impairment and behavioural disorders. Honokiol, a natural biphenolic compound, possesses antioxidant and mitochondrial protective properties. The present study investigated the protective actions of honokiol on NaF-elicited cognitive deficits and elucidated the possible mechanism of honokiol-mediated protection. The results demonstrated that honokiol administration markedly attenuated fluoride-induced cognitive impairments and neural/synaptic injury in mice. Moreover, honokiol elevated the activity and expression of SOD2 and promoted mtROS scavenging through Sirt3 activation in NaF-treated mice and SH-SY5Y cell lines. Meanwhile, honokiol substantially lowered mtROS production by enhancing Sirt3-mediated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcription, thereby leading to significant increases in ATP synthesis and complex I activity. Further studies revealed that honokiol activated AMPK and upregulated the PGC-1α and Sirt3 protein expression in vivo and in vitro. Intriguingly, the protective actions of honokiol on oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction were abolished by AMPK shRNA or Sirt3 shRNA. Notably, AMPK knockdown prevented the increase in PGC-1α and Sirt3 expression induced by honokiol, while Sirt3 shRNA suppressed Sirt3 signaling without significant effects on p-AMPK and PGC-1α expression. In conclusion, our findings indicate that honokiol mitigates NaF-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by regulating mtROS homeostasis, partly via the AMPK/PGC-1α/Sirt3 pathway, which ultimately contributes to neuronal/synaptic injury and cognitive deficits.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induces pyroptosis in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have shown that the expression of the miR-15 family is stimulated in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury or H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and miR-15 is a promoter of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion or H/R injury. However, whether miR-15b-5p regulates H/R injury and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and its mechanism still need to be further clarified. Bioinformatics analysis elicited that SIRT3 was the downstream regulatory target gene of miR-15b-5p. SIRT3 has been shown to participate in the regulation of pyroptosis by negatively regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-15b-5p targets SIRT3 and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway to promote H/R-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. We first show that H/R increases miR-15b-5p in rat cardiomyocytes H9C2. Next, we tested the effects of inhibition of miR-15b-5p or overexpression of SIRT3. We found that miR-15b-5p downregulation or SIRT3 overexpression could reverse the H/R-induced pyroptosis. Furthermore, silencing SIRT3 antagonized the protective effect of miR-15b-5p downregulation on H9C2 cells. NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 annulled the previously mentioned antagonistic effect of silencing SIRT3 on the protection of miR-15b-5p downregulation against pyroptosis. We then used a rat AMI model to analyze myocardial infarction area by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining and assess serum cardiac troponin T level by ELISA and found that miR-15b-5p silencing reduced AMI injury in rats. Collectively, these results suggest that miR-15b-5p increase H/R-induced pyroptosis in cardiomyocytes by targeting SIRT3 and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization refers to the process by which macrophages can produce two distinct functional phenotypes: M1 or M2. The balance between both strongly affects the progression of inflammatory disorders. Here, we review how redox signals regulate macrophage polarization and reprogramming during acute inflammation. In M1, macrophages augment NADPH oxidase isoform 2 (NOX2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), synaptotagmin-binding cytoplasmic RNA interacting protein (SYNCRIP), and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 increase oxygen and nitrogen reactive species, which triggers inflammatory response, phagocytosis, and cytotoxicity. In M2, macrophages down-regulate NOX2, iNOS, SYNCRIP, and/or up-regulate arginase and superoxide dismutase type 1, counteract oxidative and nitrosative stress, and favor anti-inflammatory and tissue repair responses. M1 and M2 macrophages exhibit different metabolic profiles, which are tightly regulated by redox mechanisms. Oxidative and nitrosative stress sustain the M1 phenotype by activating glycolysis and lipid biosynthesis, but by inhibiting tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. This metabolic profile is reversed in M2 macrophages because of changes in the redox state. Therefore, new therapies based on redox mechanisms have emerged to treat acute inflammation with positive results, which highlights the relevance of redox signaling as a master regulator of macrophage reprogramming.

Abstract
SCOPE Previous studies indicate that dihydromyricetin (DHM) effectively improved glucose homeostasis and alleviated insulin resistance in population-intervened trials, yet the underlying mechanism remains obscure. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild-type male mice and recombinase activating gene 1(Rag1)-/- mice (lacking adaptive immunity lymphocytes) are fed with control, high-fat diet (HFD), or HFD+DHM diets for 8 weeks. DHM effectively protects HFD feeding mice against hyperglycemia by promoting group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) cells proliferation and interleukin 22 (IL-22) production. Furthermore, IL-22 secretion induced by DHM increases the expression levels of the tight junction (TJs) molecules to protect the intestinal barrier integrity, thereby decreasing the level of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), an endotoxin that is involved in the regulation of chronic tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. In addition, silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog 3 (SIRT3) deficiency results in more serious obesity and intestinal barrier damage following HFD feeding and abolished DHM-mediated increase in IL-22 expression levels of ILC3 cells in SIRT3 knockout (SIRT3KO) mice. DHM reduces metabolic stress and enhances mitochondrial respiratory capacity to promote cell proliferation and IL-22 secretion by activating SIRT3 in ILC3 cells CONCLUSIONS: DHM improves IL-22 production of ILC3 cells and subsequently inhibits intestinal barrier dysfunction to alleviate hyperglycemia partially mediated by SIRT3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the relationship between oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, and metabolic biomarkers as the mediating factor between Islamic Sunnah intermittent fasting (IF) practice and cognitive function among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). DESIGN This study was a 36 months prospective cohort study. SETTING Community-dwelling older participants recruited through a stratified random sampling method from four states representing Malaysia's central, north-west, northeast and southern regions. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-nine Malay Muslim older adults (n= 99) aged 60 and above with MCI and no known critical illnesses were included in the current analysis. The participants were divided into regularly practicing IF (r-IF), irregularly practicing IF (i-IF) and not practicing IF (n-IF) groups. MEASUREMENTS Fasting venous blood was collected and used to determine the levels of oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers. Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Digit Span and Digit symbol were used to evaluate the cognitive function. Then, the mediation analysis was conducted using a multistep regression model to determine the mediating role of various biomarkers between IF practice and cognitive function. RESULTS When comparing the r-IF and n-IF groups, higher SOD activity, lower DNA damage (percentage of DNA in tail), lower CRP levels and higher HDL-cholesterol levels established partial mediation while lower insulin levels established complete mediation between IF practice and better cognitive function. Meanwhile, when comparing the r-IF and i-IF groups, higher SOD activity and lower CRP levels completely mediated the effects of IF practice on better cognitive function. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that changes in antioxidant function, DNA damage, inflammation and a limited set of metabolic biomarkers (insulin and HDL cholesterol) may mediate improvements in cognitive function among older participants with MCI who practice Islamic Sunnah IF.

Sirtuin 3 Dependent and Independent Effects of NAD+ to Suppress Vascular Inflammation and Improve Endothelial Function in Mice. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11040706.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is initiated by endothelial cell dysfunction and vascular inflammation under the condition of hyperlipidemia. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent mitochondrial deacetylase, which plays a key role in maintaining normal mitochondrial function. The present study tested whether endothelial-selective SIRT3 deletion accelerates vascular inflammation and oxidative stress, and assessed the protective effect of NAD+ to alleviate these changes in endothelial cells and in mouse models of atherosclerosis. We found that the selective deletion of SIRT3 in endothelial cells further impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in the aorta treated with IL-1β, which was accompanied by upregulation of vascular inflammation markers and mitochondrial superoxide overproduction. Excepting the dysfunction of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, such effects could be attenuated by treatment with NAD+. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, SIRT3 silencing potentiated the induction of inflammatory factors by IL-1β, including VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and MCP1, and the impairment of mitochondrial respiration, both of which were alleviated by NAD+ treatment. In ApoE-deficient mice fed with a high-cholesterol diet, supplementation with nicotinamide riboside, the NAD+ precursor, reduced plaque formation, improved vascular function, and diminished vascular inflammation. Our results support the SIRT3-dependent and -independent of NAD+ to improve endothelial function in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke remains a significant unmet need causing massive mortality and morbidity due to few treatment options with limited therapeutic window. The progestin Nestorone® (segesterone acetate) displays high affinity for the progesterone receptor in exerting its potent birth control and hormone replacement therapy. Accumulating evidence implicates a new utility of Nestorone in affording neuroprotection in a variety of central nervous system diseases, including stroke. However, the mechanism of action mediating Nestorone's neuroprotection in stroke remains unknown. Here, we showed that stand-alone treatments of Nestorone or human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (hAFSc), but more pronounced with their combined treatment, led to significant improvements in behavioral function and reductions in infarction and peri-infarct cell loss in adult rats with ischemic stroke. We detected significantly lower levels of pro-inflammatory signals (OX6 and IBA1) coupled with enhanced levels of stem cell proliferation (Ki67) and differentiation (DCX and MAP2) in both brain and spleen of stroke rats that received stand-alone or combined treatments of Nestorone and hAFSc. In concert, the in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation stroke model revealed that neural stem cells treated with Nestorone exhibited increased stem cell proliferation and differentiation that was accompanied by rescue of the mitochondrial respiratory activity characterized by reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, increased ATP, elevated mitochondrial deacetylase Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), and a normalized ratio of acetyl-superoxide dismutase 2 (Ac-SOD2)/SOD2, suggesting the key role of mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative protection in Nestorone's therapeutic effects in stroke.

Abstract
The current obesity epidemic has caused a significant decline in the health of our donor population. Organs from obese deceased donors are more prone to ischemia reperfusion injury resulting from organ preservation. As a consequence, these donors are more likely to be discarded under the assumption that nothing can be done to make them viable for transplant. Our current methods of organ preservation-which remain relatively unchanged over the last ~40 years-were originally adopted in the context of a much healthier donor population. But methods that are suitable for healthier deceased donors are likely not optimal for organs from obese donors. Naturally occurring models of acute obesity and fasting in hibernating mammals demonstrate that obesity and resilience to cold preservation-like conditions are not mutually exclusive. Moreover, recent advances in our understanding of the metabolic dysfunction that underlies obesity suggest that it may be possible to improve the resilience of organs from obese deceased donors. In this mini-review, we explore how we might adapt our current practice of organ preservation to better suit the current reality of our deceased donor population.

Abstract
We are facing an obesity epidemic, and obesity itself and its close companion, type 2 diabetes, are independent risk factors for neurodegeneration. While most medical treatments fail to induce a clinically meaningful improvement in neurodegenerative disorders, lifestyle interventions have emerged in the spotlight. A recently rediscovered approach is intermittent fasting (IF), which, compared to the classic caloric restriction regimens, limits only the time of eating, rather than the number of calories allowed per day. There is already a large amount of evidence from preclinical and clinical studies showing the beneficial effects of IF. In this review, we specifically focus on the effects of IF on brain metabolism. Key molecular players modified during IF and involved in its beneficial central effects (ketone bodies, BDNF, GABA, GH/IGF-1, FGF2, sirtuin-3, mTOR, and gut microbiota) are identified and discussed. Studies suggest that IF induces several molecular and cellular adaptations in neurons, which, overall, enhance cellular stress resistance, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis. Still, the absence of guidelines regarding the application of IF to patients hampers its broad utilization in clinical practice, and further studies are needed to improve our knowledge on the different IF protocols and long-term effects of IF on brain metabolism before it can be widely prescribed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hypertension is a multifactorial disorder involving perturbations of the vasculature, the kidney, and the central nervous system. Hypertension represents a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Despite treatment with multiple drugs, 37% of hypertensive patients remain hypertensive, likely due to the mechanisms contributing to blood pressure elevation that are not affected by current treatments. This review focuses on recently described novel role of mitochondrial deacetylase Sirt3 in vascular dysfunction and hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS In the past several years, we have shown that the mitochondria are dysfunctional in hypertension; however, the role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of hypertension remains elusive. We recently showed that patients with essential hypertension have decreased levels of the mitochondrial deacetylase Sirt3 leading to hyperacetylation of mitochondrial proteins. There is likely a causative role. Indeed, genetic deletion of Sirt3 in mice promotes vascular dysfunction and hypertension. Sirt3 depletion promotes endothelial dysfunction, increases smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, instigates vascular inflammation, and induces age-dependent hypertension. SUMMARY Sirt3 is critical for vascular cell homeostasis, however, multiple risk factors impair Sirt3 leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and vascular dysregulation which contribute to hypertension and end-organ injury. Targeting Sirt3 may represent novel therapeutic approach to improve treatment of vascular dysfunction and reduce hypertension.

Abstract
The innate immune response to P. aeruginosa pulmonary infections relies on a network of pattern recognition receptors, including intracellular inflammasome complexes, which can recognize both pathogen- and host-derived signals and subsequently promote downstream inflammatory signaling. Current evidence suggests that the inflammasome does not contribute to bacterial clearance and, in fact, that dysregulated inflammasome activation is harmful in acute and chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection. Given the role of mitochondrial damage signals in recruiting inflammasome signaling, we investigated whether mitochondrial-targeted therapies could attenuate inflammasome signaling in response to P. aeruginosa and decrease pathogenicity of infection. In particular, we investigated the small molecule, ZLN005, which transcriptionally activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, antioxidant defense, and cellular respiration. We demonstrate that P. aeruginosa infection promotes the expression of inflammasome components and attenuates several components of mitochondrial repair pathways in vitro in lung epithelial cells and in vivo in an acute pneumonia model. ZLN005 activates PGC-1α and its downstream effector, Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial-localized deacetylase important for cellular metabolic processes and for reactive oxygen species homeostasis. ZLN005 also attenuates inflammasome signaling induced by P. aeruginosa in bronchial epithelial cells and this action is dependent on ZLN005 activation of SIRT3. ZLN005 treatment reduces epithelial-barrier dysfunction caused by P. aeruginosa and decreases pathogenicity in an in vivo pneumonia model. Therapies that activate the PGC-1α—SIRT3 axis may provide a complementary approach in the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), resulting in high mortality. Myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory cell infiltration are hallmarks of DCM, leading to cardiac dysfunction. To date, few effective approaches have been developed for the intervention of DCM. In the present study, we investigate the effect of krill oil (KO) on the prevention of DCM using a mouse model of DM induced by streptozotocin and a high-fat diet. The diabetic mice developed pathological features, including cardiac fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, the effects of which were remarkably prevented by KO. Mechanistically, KO reversed the DM-induced cardiac expression of profibrotic and proinflammatory genes and attenuated DM-enhanced cardiac oxidative stress. Notably, KO exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome that plays an important role in DCM. Further investigation showed that KO significantly upregulated the expression of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), which are negative regulators of NLRP3. The present study reports for the first time the preventive effect of KO on the pathological injuries of DCM, providing SIRT3, PGC-1α and NLRP3 as molecular targets of KO. This work suggests that KO supplementation may be a viable approach in clinical prevention of DCM.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome, a key component of the innate immune system that mediates caspase-1 activation, which in turn induces cleavage of the pyroptosis executioner gasdermin D and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, requires two signals to be activated. First, inflammasome priming is achieved after activation of Toll-like receptors, which leads to NF-κB signaling and transcriptional activation of the genes for NLRP3 and IL-1β. Next, the inflammasome complex is activated by a second signal that induces extrusion of mitochondrial DNA to the cytosol of the cell, which leads to its oligomerization by a not fully understood mechanism. Here we describe a simple method that employs quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using SYBR green to measure the presence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the cytosol, which can be used to measure cytosolic mtDNA levels after inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1–7) comprise a family of highly conserved deacetylases with distribution in different subcellular compartments. Sirtuins deacetylate target proteins depending on one common substrate, nicotinamide adenine diphosphate (NAD+), thus linking their activities to the status of cellular energy metabolism. Sirtuins had been linked to extending life span and confer beneficial effects in a wide array of immune-metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. SIRT1, SIRT3, and SIRT6 have been shown to provide protective effects in various cardiovascular disease models, by decreasing inflammation, improving metabolic profiles or scavenging oxidative stress. Sirtuins may be activated collectively by increasing their co-substrate NAD+. By supplementing NAD+ precursors, NAD+ boosters confer pan-sirtuin activation with protective cardiometabolic effects in the experimental setting: they improve endothelial dysfunction, protect from experimental heart failure, hypertension and decrease progression of liver steatosis. Different precursor molecules were applied ranging from nicotinamide (NAM), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to nicotinamide riboside (NR). Notably, not all experimental results showed protective effects. Moreover, the results are not as striking in clinical studies as in the controlled experimental setting. Species differences, (lack of) genetic heterogeneity, different metabolic pathways, dosing, administration routes and disease contexts may account for these challenges in clinical translation. At the clinical scale, caloric restriction can reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease and raise NAD+ concentration and sirtuin expression. In addition, antidiabetic drugs such as metformin or SGLT2 inhibitors may confer cardiovascular protection, indirectly via sirtuin activation. Overall, additional mechanistic insight and clinical studies are needed to better understand the beneficial effects of sirtuin activation and NAD+ boosters from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Age-associated cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases lead to high morbidity and mortality around the world. Sirtuins are vital enzymes for metabolic adaptation and provide protective effects against a wide spectrum of pathologies. Among sirtuins, mitochondrial sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an essential player in preserving the habitual metabolic profile. SIRT3 activity declines as a result of aging-induced changes in cellular metabolism, leading to increased susceptibility to endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, heart failure and neurodegenerative diseases. Stimulating SIRT3 activity via lifestyle, pharmacological or genetic interventions could protect against a plethora of pathologies and could improve health and lifespan. Thus, understanding how SIRT3 operates and how its protective effects could be amplified, will aid in treating age-associated diseases and ultimately, in enhancing the quality of life in elders.

Abstract
We aimed to study the effects and underlying mechanism of different intensities of continuous training (CT) on vascular inflammation and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Rats were divided into five groups (n = 12): Wistar‐Kyoto rats sedentary group (WKY‐S), sedentary group (SHR‐S), low‐intensity CT group (SHR‐L), medium‐intensity CT group (SHR‐M) and high‐intensity CT group (SHR‐H). Changes in body mass, heart rate and blood pressure were recorded. The rats were euthanized after 14 weeks, and blood and vascular tissue samples were collected. Haematoxylin and Eosin staining was used to observe the aortic morphology, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of mesenteric artery proteins. After CT, the mean arterial pressures improved in SHR‐L and SHR‐M and increased in SHR‐H compared with those in SHR‐S. Vascular inflammation and oxidative stress levels significantly subsided in SHR‐L and SHR‐M (p < 0.05), whereas in SHR‐H, only vascular inflammation significantly subsided (p < 0.05), and oxidative stress remained unchanged (p > 0.05). AMPK and SIRT1/3 expressions in SHR‐L and SHR‐M were significantly up‐regulated than those in SHR‐S (p < 0.05). These results indicated that low‐ and medium‐intensity CT can effectively reduce the inflammatory response and oxidative stress of SHR vascular tissue, and high‐intensity CT can improve vascular tissue inflammation but not oxidative stress.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are powerful cytosolic sensors of environmental stressors and are critical for triggering interleukin-1 (IL-1)-mediated inflammatory responses. However, dysregulation of inflammasome activation may lead to pathological conditions, and the identification of negative regulators for therapeutic purposes is increasingly being recognized. Anakinra, the recombinant form of the IL-1 receptor antagonist, proved effective by preventing the binding of IL-1 to its receptor, IL-1R1, thus restoring autophagy and dampening NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) activity. As the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxidative species (ROS) is a critical upstream event in the activation of NLRP3, we investigated whether anakinra would regulate mitochondrial ROS production. By profiling the activation of transcription factors induced in murine alveolar macrophages, we found a mitochondrial antioxidative pathway induced by anakinra involving the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) or SOD2. Molecularly, anakinra promotes the binding of SOD2 with the deubiquitinase Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 36 (USP36) and Constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome, thus increasing SOD2 protein longevity. Functionally, anakinra and SOD2 protects mice from pulmonary oxidative inflammation and infection. On a preclinical level, anakinra upregulates SOD2 in murine models of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). These data suggest that protection from mitochondrial oxidative stress may represent an additional mechanism underlying the clinical benefit of anakinra and identifies SOD2 as a potential therapeutic target.

Is there any role of intermittent fasting in the prevention and improving clinical outcomes of COVID-19?: intersection between inflammation, mTOR pathway, autophagy and calorie restriction. Virusdisease 2021; 32:625-634.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is provoking a global public health crisis. Even though the academic world is intensively pursuing new therapies, there is still no “game changer” in the management of COVID 19. The Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is an ancient signaling system that has been proposed as a molecular tool used by coronaviruses and other RNA and DNA viruses in order to replicate and persist in the host cell. In recent years, Intermittent Fasting (IF), a practice consisting on a strict calorie restriction during a prolonged period of time during the day, has gained popularity due to its potential benefits in multiple health systems and in regulating inflammation. IF inhibits the mTOR pathway which is similar to the effects of Rapamycin in some animal models. mTOR inhibition and promotion of autophagy could potentially be the link between the possible direct benefits of IF in COVID-19 due to the interruption of the viral cycle (protein synthesis). Besides, IF has shown to be a strong anti-inflammatory in multiple prior studies, and may play a role in attenuating COVID -19 severity. This review hypothesizes the possible intersection between viral, immunological, and metabolic pathways related to mTOR and the potential mechanisms through which IF may improve clinical outcomes. Future prospective randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate intermittent fasting (IF) regimens in order to prevent and treat moderate to severe forms of COVID-19 in humans are needed.

Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by cutaneous and systemic inflammation and barrier abnormalities. Over the past few decades, proteomic studies have been increasingly applied to AD research to compliment transcriptomic evaluations. Proteomic analyses helped identify new biomarkers of AD, allowing investigation of both the cutaneous AD profile and the systemic inflammation associated with the disease.Areas covered: This review discusses key studies that utilized various proteomic technologies to analyze AD skin and/or blood, which facilitated discovery of biomarkers related to pathogenesis, disease severity, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic response. Moreover, this review summarizes proteomic studies that helped define various AD endotypes/phenotypes. A literature search was conducted by querying Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed/Medline, and Clinicaltrials.gov up to January 2021.Expert opinion: Use of proteomics in AD has allowed for identification of novel AD-related protein biomarkers. This approach continues to evolve and is becoming increasingly common for the study of AD, in conjunction with other -omics platforms, as proteomics shifts to quicker and more sensitive methods for detection of potential protein biomarkers. Although many biomarkers have been identified thus far, future larger studies are necessary to further correlate these markers with clinical parameters.

Abstract
In mice, time of day strongly influences lethality in response to LPS, with survival greatest at the beginning compared to the end of the light cycle. Here we show that feeding, rather than light, controls time-of-day dependent LPS sensitivity. Mortality following LPS administration is independent of cytokine production and the clock regulator BMAL1 expressed in myeloid cells. In contrast, deletion of BMAL1 in hepatocytes globally disrupts the transcriptional response to the feeding cycle in the liver and results in constitutively high LPS sensitivity. Using RNAseq and functional validation studies we identify hepatic farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signalling as a BMAL1 and feeding-dependent regulator of LPS susceptibility. These results show that hepatocyte-intrinsic BMAL1 and FXR signalling integrate nutritional cues to regulate survival in response to innate immune stimuli. Understanding hepatic molecular programmes operational in response to these cues could identify novel pathways for targeting to enhance endotoxemia resistance.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting and fasting mimetic diets ameliorate inflammation. Similarly, serum extracted from fasted healthy and asthmatic subjects' blunt inflammation in vitro, implicating serum components in this immunomodulation. To identify the proteins orchestrating these effects, SOMAScan technology was employed to evaluate serum protein levels in healthy subjects following an overnight, 24-h fast and 3 h after refeeding. Partial least square discriminant analysis identified several serum proteins as potential candidates to confer feeding status immunomodulation. The characterization of recombinant IGFBP1 (elevated following 24 h of fasting) and PYY (elevated following refeeding) in primary human CD4+ T cells found that they blunted and induced immune activation, respectively. Furthermore, integrated univariate serum protein analysis compared to RNA-seq analysis from peripheral blood mononuclear cells identified the induction of IL1RL1 and MFGE8 levels in refeeding compared to the 24-h fasting in the same study. Subsequent quantitation of these candidate proteins in lean versus obese individuals identified an inverse regulation of serum levels in the fasted subjects compared to the obese subjects. In parallel, IL1RL1 and MFGE8 supplementation promoted increased CD4+ T responsiveness to T cell receptor activation. Together, these data show that caloric load-linked conditions evoke serological protein changes, which in turn confer biological effects on circulating CD4+ T cell immune responsiveness.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Insufficient insulin secretion and insulin action are two major causes for the development of diabetes, which is characterized by a persistent increase in blood glucose level. Diet and sedentary life style play pivotal role in development of vascular complications in type 2 diabetes. Dietary modification is associated with a reprogramming of nutrient intake, which are proven to be effective for the management of diabetes and associated complications. Dietary modifications modulate various molecular key players linked with the functions of nutrient signalling, regulation of autophagy, and energy metabolism. It activates silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog1 (SIRT1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK mainly acts as an energy sensor and inhibits autophagy repressor Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) under nutritional deprivation. Under calorie restriction (CR), SIRT1 gets activated directly or indirectly and plays a central role in autophagy via the regulation of protein acetylation. Dietary modification is also effective in controlling inflammation and apoptosis by decreasing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines like nuclear factor kappa- beta (NF-kβ), tissue growth factor-beta (TGF-β), tissue necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). It also improves glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion through beta cell regeneration. This indicates calorie intake plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes-associated complications. The present review, emphasizes the role of dietary modifications in diabetes and associated complications.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting blunts inflammation in asthma1 and rheumatoid arthritis2, suggesting that fasting may be exploited as an immune-modulatory intervention. However, the mechanisms underpinning the anti-inflammatory effects of fasting are poorly characterized3-5. Here, we show that fasting in humans is sufficient to blunt CD4+ T helper cell responsiveness. RNA sequencing and flow cytometry immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from volunteers subjected to overnight or 24-h fasting and 3 h of refeeding suggest that fasting blunts CD4+ T helper cell activation and differentiation. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that longer fasting has a more robust effect on CD4+ T-cell biology. Through bioinformatics analyses, we identify the transcription factor FOXO4 and its canonical target FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5) as a potential fasting-responsive regulatory axis. Genetic gain- or loss-of-function of FOXO4 and FKBP5 is sufficient to modulate TH1 and TH17 cytokine production. Moreover, we find that fasting-induced or genetic overexpression of FOXO4 and FKBP5 is sufficient to downregulate mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling and suppress signal transducer and activator of transcription 1/3 activation. Our results identify FOXO4-FKBP5 as a new fasting-induced, signal transducer and activator of transcription-mediated regulatory pathway to blunt human CD4+ T helper cell responsiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Infiltrated macrophages actively promote perivascular adipose tissue remodeling and represent a dominant population in the perivascular adipose tissue microenvironment of hypertensive mice. However, the role of macrophages in initiating metabolic inflammation remains uncertain. SIRT3 (sirtuin-3), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, is sensitive to metabolic status and mediates adaptation responses. In this study, we investigated the role of SIRT3-mediated metabolic shift in regulating NLRP3 (Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation. Approach and Results: Here, we report that Ang II (angiotensin II) accelerates perivascular adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis, accompanied by NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL (interleukin)-1β secretion in myeloid SIRT3 knockout (SIRT3-/-) mice. This effect is associated with adipose tissue mitochondrial dysfunction. In vitro studies indicate that the deletion of SIRT3 in bone marrow-derived macrophages induces IL-1β production by shifting the metabolic phenotype from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Mechanistically, SIRT3 deacetylates and activates PDHA1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha) at lysine 83, and the loss of SIRT3 leads to PDH activity decrease and lactate accumulation. Knocking down LDHA (lactate dehydrogenase A) or using carnosine, a buffer against lactic acid, attenuates IL-1β secretion. Furthermore, the blockade of IL-1β from macrophages into brown adipocytes restores thermogenic markers and mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Moreover, NLRP3 knockout (NLRP3-/-) mice exhibited reduced IL-1β production while rescuing the mitochondrial function of brown adipocytes and alleviating perivascular adipose tissue fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS SIRT3 represents a potential therapeutic target to attenuate NLRP3-related inflammation. Pharmacological targeting of glycolytic metabolism may represent an effective therapeutic approach.

Vitamin D3 ameliorates nitrogen mustard-induced cutaneous inflammation by inactivating the NLRP3 inflammasome through the SIRT3-SOD2-mtROS signaling pathway. Clin Transl Med 2021; 11:e312. [PMID: 33634989 PMCID: PMC7882108 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Nitrogen mustard (NM) causes severe skin injury with an obvious inflammatory response, which is lack of effective and targeted therapies. Vitamin D3 (VD3) has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and is considered as a potential candidate for the treatment of NM-induced dermal toxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms are currently unclear. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2; a widely used marker of skin inflammation) plays a key role in NM-induced cutaneous inflammation. Herein, we initially confirmed that NM markedly promoted COX2 expression in vitro and in vivo. NM also increased NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) expression, caspase-1 activity, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release. Notably, treatment with a caspase-1 inhibitor (zYVAD-fmk), NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950), and NLRP3 or caspase-1 siRNA attenuated NM-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, with subsequent suppression of COX2 expression and IL-1β release in keratinocytes. Meanwhile, NM increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and decreased manganese superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) activities. Mito-TEMPO (a mtROS scavenger) ameliorated NM-caused NLRP3 inflammasome activation in keratinocytes. Moreover, VD3 improved SIRT3 and SOD2 activities, decreased mtROS contents, inactivated the NLRP3 inflammasome, and attenuated cutaneous inflammation induced by NM in vitro and in vivo. The beneficial activity of VD3 against NM-triggered cutaneous inflammation was enhanced by the inhibitors of IL-1, mtROS, NLRP3, caspase-1, and NLRP3 or caspase-1 siRNAs, which was abolished in SIRT3 inhibitor or SIRT3 siRNA-treated keratinocytes and skins from SIRT3-/- mice. In conclusion, VD3 ameliorated NM-induced cutaneous inflammation by inactivating the NLRP3 inflammasome, which was partially mediated through the SIRT3-SOD2-mtROS signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Endurance exercise (EXE) has emerged as a potent inducer of autophagy essential in maintaining cellular homeostasis in various tissues; however, the functional significance and molecular mechanisms of EXE-induced autophagy in the liver remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the signaling nexus of hepatic autophagy pathways occurring during acute EXE and a potential crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 male mice were randomly assigned to sedentary control group (CON, n=9) and endurance exercise (EXE, n=9). Mice assigned to EXE were gradually acclimated to treadmill running and ran for 60min per day for five consecutive days. RESULTS Our data showed that EXE promoted hepatic autophagy via activation of canonical autophagy signaling pathways via mediating microtubule-associated protein B-light chain 3 II (LC3-II), autophagy protein 7 (ATG7), phosphorylated adenosine mono phosphate-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK), CATHEPSIN L, lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), and a reduction in p62. Interestingly, this autophagy promotion concurred with enhanced anabolic activation via AKT-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-p70S6K signaling cascade and enhanced antioxidant capacity such as copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and peroxiredoxin 3 (PRX3), known to be as antagonists of autophagy. Moreover, exercise-induced autophagy was inversely related to apoptosis in the liver. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that improved autophagy and antioxidant capacity, and potentiated anabolic signaling may be a potent non-pharmacological therapeutic strategy against diverse liver diseases.

Abstract
Fluorofenidone (AKF-PD) is a novel pyridone agent that reduces the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in various models of renal fibrosis. However, there are no reports on the effect of AKF-PD in preventing fibrosis in the folic acid nephropathy model. Besides, the mechanisms of action of AKF-PD in preventing renal fibrosis are not fully understood. In the study, we observed that AKF-PD reduced folate-induced kidney injury, ameliorated the deterioration of renal function, and suppressed the deposition of ECM by decreasing the expression of collagen I, collagen III, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), fibronectin (FN), and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the folic acid nephropathy model. Additionally, AKF-PD suppressed the activation of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to reduce the production of caspase-1 and IL-1β, and alleviated mitochondrial oxidative damage by promoting mitochondrial energy metabolism and reducing the expression of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4). The results of in vitro experiments demonstrated that AKF-PD suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in activated peritoneal-derived macrophages (PDMs) and renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs). AKF-PD increased the intracellular ATP content and decreased the expression of NOX4, while preventing the excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in activated PDMs. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that AKF-PD inhibited renal fibrosis by suppressing the mtROS-NLRP3 pathway in the folic acid nephropathy model. These findings provide new evidence in support of the clinical use of AKF-PD in the treatment of diseases related to renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Tris (dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium (Tris DBA), a small‐molecule palladium complex, can inhibit cell growth and proliferation in pancreatic cancer, lymphocytic leukaemia and multiple myeloma. Given that this compound is particularly active against B‐cell malignancies, we have been suggested that it can alleviate immune complexes (ICs)–mediated conditions, especially IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The therapeutic effects of Tris DBA on glomerular cell proliferation and renal inflammation and mechanism of action were examined in a mouse model of IgAN. Treatment of IgAN mice with Tris DBA resulted in markedly improved renal function, albuminuria and renal pathology, including glomerular cell proliferation, neutrophil infiltration, sclerosis and periglomerular inflammation in the renal interstitium, together with (Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2011, 6, 1301‐1307) reduced mitochondrial ROS generation; (Am J Physiol‐Renal Physiol. 2011. 301, F1218‐F1230) differentially regulated autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome; (Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2012, 7, 427‐436) inhibited phosphorylation of JNK, ERK and p38 MAPK signalling pathways, and priming signal of the NLRP3 inflammasome; and (Free Radic Biol Med. 2013, 61, 285‐297) blunted NLRP3 inflammasome activation through SIRT1‐ and SIRT3‐mediated autophagy induction, in renal tissues or cultured macrophages. In conclusion, Tris DBA effectively ameliorated the mouse IgAN model and targeted signalling pathways downstream of ICs‐mediated interaction, which is a novel immunomodulatory strategy. Further development of Tris DBA as a therapeutic candidate for IgAN is warranted.

Abstract
Detrimental health effects from ionizing radiation to living organisms is one of the key concerns identified and addressed by Radiation Protection institutions, nationally and internationally on Earth and for human spaceflight. Thus, new methods for mitigating the adverse effects of ionizing radiation are urgently needed for terrestrial health and deep space exploration. Caloric restriction and (intermittent-) fasting have been reported to elicit a variety of immediate and long-term physiological effects. The rapidly growing body of evidence of research studies investigating the effects of caloric restriction and dietary fasting points toward a multitude of benefits affecting numerous physiological systems. Therefore, a systematic review was performed to evaluate the evidence of caloric restriction and dietary fasting on the physiological response to ionizing radiation in humans and animals. All experimental studies of humans, animals, and eukaryotic cell lines available in PubMed, Cochrane library, and specialized databases were searched comparing irradiation post-caloric restriction or fasting to a non-nutritionally restricted control group on a broad range of outcomes from molecular to clinical responses. The initial search yielded 2,653 records. The final analysis included 11 studies. Most studies investigated survival rate or cancer occurrence in animals. Included studies did not reveal any benefit from pre exposure caloric restriction, except when performed with post radiation caloric restriction. However, the effects of pre-exposure fasting suggest increased resilience to ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Obesity and the associated complications are a major public health issue as obesity incidence increases yearly, worldwide. Effects of obesity on heart failure have been reported previously. Obesity-related cardiac remodeling includes structural and functional dysfunctions, in which cardiac inflammation and fibrosis play a key role. The main mitochondrial deacetylase, SIRT3 participates in numerous cellular processes; however, its role in obesity-related cardiac remodeling remains unclear. In our study, high-fat diet (HFD) feeding induced downregulation of SIRT3 protein level in mice. SIRT3-KO mice fed on HFD exhibited higher cardiac dysfunction and cardiac remodeling compared with the wild-type controls. Further study revealed increases in collagen accumulation and inflammatory cytokine expression including MCP-1, IL-6, TGF-β, TNF-α in mice fed on HFD compared with chow diet, with higher levels observed in SIRT3-KO mice. Furthermore, significantly high levels of cardiac MCP-1 expression and macrophage infiltration, and ROS generation and activated NF-κB were observed in HFD-fed SIRT3-KO mice. We presumed that SIRT3 ablation-mediated MCP-1 upregulation is attributed to ROS-NF-κB activation. Thus, we concluded that SIRT3 prevents obesity-related cardiac remodeling by attenuating cardiac inflammation and fibrosis, through modulation of ROS-NF-κB-MCP-1 pathway.
