Immunol Res 2024:10.1007/s12026-024-09509-1. [PMID: 39073709 DOI: 10.1007/s12026-024-09509-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
This study uncovers the novel heterogeneity of FOXP3 + regulatory T (Treg) cells and their pivotal role in modulating immune responses during drug-induced allergic reactions, employing cutting-edge single-cell transcriptomics. We established a mouse model for drug-induced allergic reactions and utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the transcriptomic landscapes of FOXP3 + Treg cells isolated from affected tissues. The study involved both in vitro and in vivo approaches to evaluate the impact of FOXP3 expression levels on the immunoregulatory functions of Treg cells during allergic responses. Techniques included flow cytometry, cluster analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), CCK8 and CSFE assays for cell proliferation, LDH release assays for toxicity, ELISA for cytokine profiling, and CRISPR/Cas9 technology for gene editing. Our findings revealed significant transcriptomic heterogeneity among FOXP3 + Treg cells in the context of drug-induced allergic reactions, with distinct subpopulations exhibiting unique gene expression profiles. This heterogeneity suggests specialized roles in immune regulation. We observed a decrease in the proliferative capacity and cytokine secretion of FOXP3 + Treg cells following allergic stimulation, alongside an increase in reaction toxicity. Manipulating FOXP3 expression levels directly influenced these outcomes, where FOXP3 deletion exacerbated allergic responses, whereas its overexpression mitigated them. Notably, in vivo experiments demonstrated that FOXP3 overexpression significantly reduced the severity of allergic skin reactions in mice. Our study presents novel insights into the heterogeneity and crucial immunoregulatory role of FOXP3 + Treg cells during drug-induced allergic reactions. Overexpression of FOXP3 emerges as a potential therapeutic strategy to alleviate such allergic responses. These findings contribute significantly to our understanding of immune regulation and the development of targeted treatments for drug-induced allergies.

Abstract
Various factors, including fatty liver and macrophage alterations, influence colorectal cancer (CRC). This study explores the mechanistic role of fatty liver in CRC progression, focusing on macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism. A murine fatty liver model was created with a high-fat diet (HFD), and CRC was induced using AOM and DSS. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) identified MAPKAP1 as a critical gene promoting CRC via M2 macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism reprogramming. Prognosis analysis on the TCGA-CRC dataset confirmed MAPKAP1's significance. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that EVs from fatty liver cells enhanced MAPKAP1 expression, accelerating CRC development and metastasis. HFD exacerbated CRC, but fatty acid inhibitors delayed progression. Fatty liver upregulates MAPKAP1, driving M2 macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism changes, worsening CRC. These findings suggest potential therapeutic strategies for CRC, particularly targeting lipid metabolism and macrophage-mediated tumor promotion.

Abstract
Diabetic osteoporosis (DO) is a significant complication of diabetes, characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density and an increase in fracture risk. Magnetic nanoparticles (GMNPs) have emerged as potential drug carriers for various therapeutic applications. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of GMNPs loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) overexpressing MEG3 target miR-3064-5p to induce NR4A3 for treating DO in rats. Initial analysis was carried out on GEO datasets GSE7158 and GSE62589, revealing a notable downregulation of NR4A3 in osteoporotic samples. Subsequent in vitro studies demonstrated the effective uptake of BMSC-EVs-MEG3 by osteoblasts and its potential to inhibit miR-3064-5p, activating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and thus promoting mitochondrial autophagy, osteoblast proliferation, and differentiation. In vivo, experiments using DO rat models further substantiated the therapeutic efficacy of GMNPE-EVs-MEG3 in alleviating osteoporosis symptoms. In conclusion, GMNPs loaded with BMSC-EVs, through the delivery of MEG3 targeting miR-3064-5p, can effectively promote NR4A3 expression, activate the PINK1/Parkin pathway, and thereby enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, offering a promising treatment for DO.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) poses a significant health burden, necessitating a deeper understanding of its molecular underpinnings. Transcriptomic analysis reveals 485 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with IDD, underscoring the importance of immune regulation. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identifies a yellow module strongly correlated with IDD, intersecting with 197 DEGs. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis identifies ITGAX, MMP9 and FCGR2A as hub genes, predominantly expressed in macrophages. Functional validation through in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrates the pivotal role of FCGR2A in macrophage polarization and IDD progression. Mechanistically, FCGR2A knockdown suppresses M1 macrophage polarization and NF-κB phosphorylation while enhancing M2 polarization and STAT3 activation, leading to ameliorated IDD in animal models. This study sheds light on the regulatory function of FCGR2A in macrophage polarization, offering novel insights for IDD intervention strategies. KEY POINTS: This study unveils the role of FCGR2A in intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD). FCGR2A knockdown mitigates IDD in cellular and animal models. Single-cell RNA-sequencing uncovers diverse macrophage subpopulations in degenerated IVDs. This study reveals the molecular mechanism of FCGR2A in regulating macrophage polarization. This study confirms the role of the NF-κB/STAT3 pathway in regulating macrophage polarization in IDD.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:166968.

Abstract
Revealing the possible molecular mechanism of the NR4A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1)-MDM2 (MDM2 proto-oncogene)-P53 (tumor protein p53) signaling pathway that induces ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) -related datasets were obtained from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes in RIRI were analyzed using R language, intersected with RIRI-related genes in the GeneCard database, and retrieved from the literature to finally obtain differential ferroptosis-related genes. An in vitro cell model of RIRI was constructed using mouse renal cortical proximal tubule epithelial cells (mRTEC cells) treated with hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). Bioinformatic analysis showed that NR4A1 may be involved in RIRI through the induction of ferroptosis; in addition, we predicted through online databases that the downstream target gene of NR4A1, MDM2, could be targeted and regulated by ChIP and dual luciferase assays, and that NR4A1 could prevent MDM2 by inhibiting it, and NR4A1 was able to promote ferroptosis by inhibiting the ubiquitinated degradation of P53. NR4A1 expression was significantly increased in mRTEC cells in the hypoxia/reoxygenation model, and the expression of ferroptosis-related genes was increased in vitro experiments. NR4A1 reduces the ubiquitinated degradation of P53 by targeting the inhibition of MDM2 expression, thereby inducing ferroptosis and ultimately exacerbating RIRI by affecting the oxidative respiration process in mitochondria and producing oxidized lipids. This study presents a novel therapeutic approach for the clinical treatment of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by developing drugs that inhibit NR4A1 to alleviate kidney damage caused by renal ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Investigate the AMPK (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1)/YAP (Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator)/NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) signaling pathway's role in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) development using public database analysis, in vitro and in vivo experiments. METHODS Retrieve AS dataset, analyze differential gene expression in R, conduct functional enrichment analysis, collect 30 AS patient and 30 normal control samples, and construct a mouse model. ELISA, IP, and knockdown experiments were performed to detect expression changes. RESULTS NLRP3 was identified as a significant AS-related gene. Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-23, YAP, and NLRP3 were upregulated in AS patients. Overexpressing AMPK inhibited YAP's blockade on NLRP3 ubiquitination, reducing ossification in fibroblasts. Inhibiting AMPK exacerbated AS symptoms in AS mice. CONCLUSION AMPK may suppress YAP expression, leading to NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition and AS alleviation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This research aimed to dissect the function of TYRP1 and PMEL in glaucomatous animal and cell models. METHODS A chronic ocular hypertension (COH) rat model was induced in the right eyes of rats through the electrocoagulation of superficial iris veins. In addition, an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-retinal ganglion cell (RGC) model was constructed through OGD. TYRP1 and PMEL expression was altered in the animal and cell models to explore their effects. RESULTS TYRP1 and PMEL expression was poor in glaucoma patients, COH rats, and OGD-RGCs. Mechanistically, TYRP1 interacted with PMEL to upregulate PMEL in OGD-RGCs. TYRP1 overexpression enhanced viability and diminished apoptosis and oxidative stress of OGD-RGCs, which was abolished by PMEL knockdown. TYRP1 upregulation reduced intraocular pressure, RGC apoptosis, and oxidative stress in COH rats, which was reversed by PMEL knockdown. CONCLUSIONS TYRP1 elevates PMEL expression to reduce RGC apoptosis and oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro.

Association analyses of the autosomal genome and mitochondrial DNA with accelerometry-derived sleep parameters in depressed UK biobank subjects. J Psychiatr Res 2023; 157:152-161.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bidirectional relationship between sleep disturbances and depression is well documented, yet the biology of sleep is not fully understood. Mitochondria have become of interest not only because of the connection between sleep and metabolism but also because of mitochondria's involvement in the production of reactive oxygen species, which are largely scavenged during sleep. METHODS Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of eight accelerometry-derived sleep measures were performed across both the autosomal and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) among two severity levels of depression in UK Biobank participants. We calculated SNP heritability for each of the sleep measures. Linear regression was performed to test associations and mitochondrial haplogroups. RESULTS Variants included in the GWAS accounted for moderate heritability of bedtime (19.6%, p = 4.75 × 10-7), sleep duration (16.6%, p = 8.58 × 10-6) and duration of longest sleep bout (22.6%, p = 4.64 × 10-4). No variants passed genome-wide significance in the autosomal genome. The top hit in the severe depression sample was rs145019802, near GOLGA8B, for sleep efficiency (p = 1.17 × 10-7), and the top hit in the broad depression sample was rs7100859, an intergenic SNP, and nap duration (p = 1.25 × 10-7). Top mtDNA loci were m.12633C > A of MT-ND5 with bedtime (p = 0.002) in the severe sample and m.16186C > T of the control region with nap duration (p = 0.002) in the broad sample. CONCLUSION SNP heritability estimates support the involvement of common SNPs in specific sleep measures among depressed individuals. This is the first study to analyze mtDNA variance in sleep measures in depressed individuals. Our mtDNA findings, although nominally significant, provide preliminary suggestion that mitochondria are involved in sleep.

Abstract
Mutations in myelin regulatory factor (MYRF), a gene mapped to 11q12-q13.3, are responsible for autosomal dominant high hyperopia and seem to be associated with angle closure glaucoma, which is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Whether there is a causal link from the MYRF mutations to the pathogenesis of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) remains unclear at this time. Six truncation mutations, including five novel and one previously reported, in MYRF are identified in seven new probands with hyperopia, of whom all six adults have glaucoma, further confirming the association of MYRF mutations with PACG. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrates enriched expression of MYRF in the ciliary body and ganglion cell layer in humans and mice. Myrfmut/+ mice have elevated IOP and fewer ganglion cells along with thinner retinal nerve fiber layer with ganglion cell layer than wild-type. Transcriptome sequencing of Myrfmut/+ retinas shows downregulation of Dnmt3a, a gene previously associated with PACG. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrates a physical association of DNMT3A with MYRF. DNA methylation sequencing identifies several glaucoma-related cell events in Myrfmut/+ retinas. The interaction between MYRF and DNMT3A underlies MYRF-associated PACG and provides clues for pursuing further investigation into the pathogenesis of PACG and therapeutic target.

Abstract
Background Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main risk factor for glaucoma, which might cause the activation of astrocytes in optic nerve head. To determine the effect of mechanical stretch on the astrocytes, we investigated the changes in cell phenotype, proteins of interest and signaling pathways under biaxial stretch. Method The cultured astrocytes in rat optic nerve head were stretched biaxially by 10 and 17% for 24 h, respectively. Then, we detected the morphology, proliferation and apoptosis of the stretched cells, and performed proteomics analysis. Protein expression was analyzed by Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) mass spectrometry. Proteins of interest and signaling pathways were screened using Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and pathway enrichment analysis, and the results were verified by western blot and the gene-chip data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Result The results showed that rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton in response to stimulation by mechanical stress and proliferation rate of astrocytes decreased under 10 and 17% stretch condition, while there was no significant difference on the apoptosis rate of astrocytes in both groups. In the iTRAQ quantitative experiment, there were 141 differential proteins in the 10% stretch group and 140 differential proteins in the 17% stretch group. These proteins include low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP6), caspase recruitment domain family, member 10 (CARD10), thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) and tetraspanin (CD81). The western blot results of LRP6, THBS1 and CD81 were consistent with that of iTRAQ experiment. ANTXR2 and CARD10 were both differentially expressed in the mass spectrometry results and GEO database. We also screened out the signaling pathways associated with astrocyte activation, including Wnt/β–catenin pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway. Conclusion Mechanical stimulation can induce changes in cell phenotype, some proteins and signaling pathways, which might be associated with astrocyte activation. These proteins and signaling pathways may help us have a better understanding on the activation of astrocytes and the role astrocyte activation played in glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an important pathomechanism found in numerous ocular degenerative diseases. To provide a better understanding of the mechanism and treatment of oxidant/antioxidant imbalance-induced ocular diseases, this article summarizes and provides updates on the relevant research. We review the oxidative damage (e.g., lipid peroxidation, DNA lesions, autophagy, and apoptosis) that occurs in different areas of the eye (e.g., cornea, anterior chamber, lens, retina, and optic nerve). We then introduce the antioxidant mechanisms present in the eye, as well as the ocular diseases that occur as a result of antioxidant imbalances (e.g., keratoconus, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma), the relevant antioxidant biomarkers, and the potential of predictive diagnostics. Finally, we discuss natural antioxidant therapies for oxidative stress-related ocular diseases.

Abstract
Therapeutic inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) action has emerged as a potential approach for managing several diseases, including myopia. Herein, we analyzed the role of HIF-1α in the progression of pathologic myopia by regulating the miR-150-5p/LAMA4/p38 MAPK axis. Microarray-based gene expression profiling of pathologic myopia was employed to identify differentially expressed genes. Human scleral fibroblasts (HSFs) were cultured under the hypoxic conditions. Interaction among HIF-1α, miR-150-5p, and LAMA4 was identified. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed in hypoxia-exposed HSFs to evaluate the effect of the HIF-1α/miR-150-5p/LAMA4/p38 MAPK axis on the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation of HSFs and the subsequent pathologic myopia progression. Increased LAMA4 but decreased miR-150-5p was found in serum sample of pathologic myopia patients. HIF-1α and LAMA4 were abundantly expressed, and p38 MAPK was activated while miR-150-5p was weakly expressed in hypoxia-exposed HSFs. HIF-1α was enriched in the promoter region of miR-150-5p and downregulated its expression, thus repressing the ECM degradation of HSFs as shown by increased COL1A1 and TIMP-2 and reduced MMP2. In addition, LAMA4 was a downstream target of miR-150-5p and under the negative regulation by miR-150-5p. Overexpression of miR-150-5p promoted the ECM degradation of HSFs by inhibiting LAMA4 expression and p38 MAPK signaling pathway. However, upregulation of LAMA4 reversed the promoting effect of miR-150-5p on ECM degradation of HSFs. Overall, our findings suggest that HIF-1α can decline miR-150-5p expression and facilitate LAMA4-mediated p38 MAPK signaling pathway activation, thus arresting ECM degradation of HSFs and eventually inducing pathologic myopia.

Abstract
The current study investigated the ability of resveratrol to protect RGC-5 retinal ganglion cells in culture against H2O2-induced apoptosis and the underlying mechanism of protection. RGC-5 cells were pre-exposed to resveratrol (5, 10, or 20 μM), followed by 200 μM H2O2. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected to assess the cell growth, and expression levels of apoptosis-related and MAPK cascade-associated proteins were determined using western blotting. Levels of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential were also tested, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GSH). At a concentration-dependent way, resveratrol reversed H2O2-induced increases in expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9, production of ROS, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the expressions of p-p38, p-ERK, and p-JNK. It also promoted the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH. Furthermore, the agonists of p38, ERK, and JNK partially weakened the protective effects of resveratrol against H2O2-induced apoptosis in RGC-5 cells. Thus, resveratrol can protect retinal ganglion cells against H2O2-induced apoptosis by suppressing MAPK cascades. The drug therefore shows potential for preventing glaucoma.

Exp Eye Res 2021; 209:108683. [PMID: 34181937 DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2021.108683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resveratrol (RES) is a natural polyphenol that has been shown to protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following retinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the molecular mechanisms of resveratrol function are yet to be fully elucidated. Thus, this study explored the potential mechanisms of resveratrol in vivo. METHODS A retinal ischemia reperfusion injury model was established in adult male C57BL/6 J mice. Intraperitoneal injection of resveratrol was administered continuously for 5 days. RGC survival was determined by immunofluorescence staining with Brn3a. Flash electroretinography (ERG) was conducted to assess visual function. Proteins of HIF-1a, VEGF, p38, p53, PI3K, Akt, Bax, Bcl2, and Cleaved Caspase3 were detected using Western blot. RESULTS RES administration significantly ameliorated retinal thickness damage and increased Brn3a stained RGCs 7 days after I/R injury. We also found that administration of RES remarkably inhibited the upregulation of mitochondrial apoptosis-related protein Bax and Cleaved Caspase3, as well as increased the expression of Bcl2. Furthermore, RES administration significantly suppressed the I/R injury-induced upregulation of the HIF-1a/VEGF and p38/p53 pathways, while activating the I/R injury-induced downregulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Moreover, RES administration remarkably improved retinal function after I/R injury-induced functional impairment. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that resveratrol can mitigate retinal ischemic injury induced RGC loss and retinal function impairment by inhibiting the HIF-1a/VEGF and p38/p53 pathways while activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Therefore, our results further reinforce that resveratrol has potential for treating glaucoma.

Abstract
Glaucoma has no cure and is a sight-threatening neurodegenerative disease affecting more than 100 million people worldwide, with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) being the most globally prevalent glaucoma clinical type. Regulation of gene expression and gene networks, and its multifactorial pathways involved in glaucoma disease are landmarks for ophthalmic research. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are small endogenous non-coding, single-stranded RNA molecules (18–22 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression. An analytical, observational, case-control study was performed in 42 patients of both sexes, aged 50 to 80 years, which were classified according to: (1) suffering from ocular hypertension (OHT) but no glaucomatous neurodegeneration (ND) such as the OHT group, or (2) have been diagnosed of POAG such as the POAG group. Participants were interviewed for obtaining sociodemographic and personal/familial records, clinically examined, and their tear samples were collected and frozen at 80 °C until processing for molecular-genetic assays. Tear RNA extraction, libraries construction, and next generation sequencing were performed. Here, we demonstrated, for the first time, the differential expression profiling of eight miRNAs when comparing tears from the OHT versus the POAG groups: the miR-26b-5p, miR-152-3p, miR-30e-5p, miR-125b-2-5p, miR-224-5p, miR-151a-3p, miR-1307-3p, and the miR-27a-3p. Gene information was set up from the DIANA-TarBase v7, DIANA-microT-CDS, and TargetScan v7.1 databases. To build a network of metabolic pathways, only genes appearing in at least four of the following databases: DisGeNet, GeneDistiller, MalaCards, OMIM PCAN, UniProt, and GO were considered. We propose miRNAs and their target genes/signaling pathways as candidates for a better understanding of the molecular-genetic bases of glaucoma and, in this way, to gain knowledge to achieve optimal diagnosis strategies for properly identifying HTO at higher risk of glaucoma ND. Further research is needed to validate these miRNAs to discern the potential role as biomarkers involved in oxidative stress, immune response, and apoptosis for the diagnosis and/or prognosis of OHT and the prevention of glaucoma ND.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early recognition and management of baseline risk factors may play an important role in reducing glaucoma surgery burdens. However, no studies have investigated them using real-world data in Japan or other countries. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors leading to trabeculectomy surgery, which is the most common procedure of glaucoma surgery, of glaucoma patient using the Japanese nationwide administrative claims data associated with the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) system. METHODS It was a retrospective, non-interventional cohort study. Data were collected from patients who were admitted to DPC participating hospitals, nationwide acute care hospitals and were diagnosed with glaucoma between 2012 to 2018. The primary outcome was the risk factors associated with trabeculectomy surgery. The association between baseline characteristics and trabeculectomy surgery was identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis by comparing patients with and without trabeculectomy surgery. Meanwhile, the secondary outcomes included the rate of comorbidities, the rate of concomitant drug use and the treatment patterns of glaucoma eye drops at the index admission. Among patients with trabeculectomy surgery, the risk factors leading to cataract surgery were also evaluated as subgroup analysis. RESULTS A total of 29,599 patients included in the analysis, 12,038 and 17,561 patients were in the glaucoma surgery and non-glaucoma surgery cohorts, respectively. The factors associated with the increase in trabeculectomy surgery were having allergies, taking concomitant drugs including cancer, depression, ischemic heart disease and peptic ulcer, being diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma and longer length of stay in hospital. In contrast, the factors associated with the decrease in trabeculectomy surgery were having hypertension, taking hypertension drug, age ≥ 80 and female. CONCLUSIONS Special focus on Japanese patients with glaucoma who have allergy-related comorbidities or take immune, nervous, circulatory or gastrointestinal system-related concomitant drugs seems to be desirable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact and the mechanism of Gadd45α mediating p38MAPK pathway on the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) injury in chronic ocular hypertension (COH) rats. METHODS COH model in rats were established and intraocular pressure (IOP) was tested. Retrograde labeling was used for counting RGCs and TUNEL staining was performed for RGCs apoptosis. Western Blotting was conducted to examine the expression of Gadd45α and p38MAPK pathway. Besides, RGC-5 cells cultured in vitro were treated with H2O2. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8, ROS level tested by DCFH-DA assay, and cell apoptosis examined by flow cytometry. RESULTS COH rats had increased expression of Gadd45α and p-p38/p38 protein 1-4 weeks after surgery. Rats in COH group enhanced obviously in IOP, RGC apoptosis rate and the protein expression of Gadd45α, p-p38/p38, Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3, but declined appreciably in RGC counting. However, the above indicators of COH rats were effectively improved by Gadd45α shRNA treatment. Additionally, RGC-5 cells in H2O2 group reduced in cell viability and went up in ROS level and apoptosis rate. The H2O2-induced RGC-5 cells treated with Gadd45α shRNA were improved apparently in those indicators, and cells treated with pcDNA Gadd45α showed an opposite trend. Moreover, p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 can effectively reverse the damage of pcDNA Gadd45α from H2O2-induced RGC-5 cells. CONCLUSION Silencing Gadd45α can reduce the RGC damage in COH rats by inhibiting p38MAPK pathway and such a protective role may be associated with the suppression of RGC apoptosis and the mitigation of oxidative stress.

AIBP protects retinal ganglion cells against neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Redox Biol 2020; 37:101703. [PMID: 32896719 PMCID: PMC7484594 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide in individuals 60 years of age and older. Despite its high prevalence, the factors contributing to glaucoma progression are currently not well characterized. Glia-driven neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction play critical roles in glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Here, we demonstrated that elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly decreased apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP; gene name Apoa1bp) in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), but resulted in upregulation of TLR4 and IL-1β expression in Müller glia endfeet. Apoa1bp-/- mice had impaired visual function and Müller glia characterized by upregulated TLR4 activity, impaired mitochondrial network and function, increased oxidative stress and induced inflammatory responses. We also found that AIBP deficiency compromised mitochondrial network and function in RGCs and exacerbated RGC vulnerability to elevated IOP. Administration of recombinant AIBP prevented RGC death and inhibited inflammatory responses and cytokine production in Müller glia in vivo. These findings indicate that AIBP protects RGCs against glia-driven neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucomatous neurodegeneration and suggest that recombinant AIBP may be a potential therapeutic agent for glaucoma.

Oxidative Stress and Vascular Dysfunction in the Retina: Therapeutic Strategies. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9080761.

Abstract
Many retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular (AMD) degeneration, are associated with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. ROS are important intracellular signaling molecules that regulate numerous physiological actions, including vascular reactivity and neuron function. However, excessive ROS formation has been linked to vascular endothelial dysfunction, neuron degeneration, and inflammation in the retina. ROS can directly modify cellular molecules and impair their function. Moreover, ROS can stimulate the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) causing inflammation and cell death. However, there are various compounds with direct or indirect antioxidant activity that have been used to reduce ROS accumulation in animal models and humans. In this review, we report on the physiological and pathophysiological role of ROS in the retina with a special focus on the vascular system. Moreover, we present therapeutic approaches for individual retinal diseases targeting retinal signaling pathways involving ROS.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases include a variety of pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and so forth, which share many common characteristics such as oxidative stress, glycation, abnormal protein deposition, inflammation, and progressive neuronal loss. The last century has witnessed significant research to identify mechanisms and risk factors contributing to the complex etiopathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as genetic, vascular/metabolic, and lifestyle-related factors, which often co-occur and interact with each other. Apart from several environmental or genetic factors, in recent years, much evidence hints that impairment in redox homeostasis is a common mechanism in different neurological diseases. However, from a pharmacological perspective, oxidative stress is a difficult target, and antioxidants, the only strategy used so far, have been ineffective or even provoked side effects. In this review, we report an analysis of the recent literature on the role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases as well as in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, retinal ganglion cells, and ataxia. Moreover, the contribution of stem cells has been widely explored, looking at their potential in neuronal differentiation and reporting findings on their application in fighting oxidative stress in different neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, the exposure to mesenchymal stem cells or their secretome can be considered as a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance antioxidant capacity and neurotrophin expression while inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, which are common aspects of neurodegenerative pathologies. Further studies are needed to identify a tailored approach for each neurodegenerative disease in order to design more effective stem cell therapeutic strategies to prevent a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
There is limited understanding of the specific role of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the development of various age-related ocular diseases, despite it being a common measurable biomarker in lipid profiles. This literature review summarizes current knowledge of the role of HDL-C, if any, in pathogenesis and progression of four age-related ocular diseases, namely age-related macular degeneration (AMD), age-related cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and will primarily discuss epidemiological and genetic evidence.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the protective effects of silibinin on blue light-emitting diode (LED)-induced retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) damage. Methods: Silibinin was applied in RGCs damage in vitro model to test its protective effects. Cell viability was assessed with the MTT method and cell apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining. The expressions of apoptosis related proteins and influenced signalling pathways were measured using western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Inflammatory factors induced by RGC damage were detected using ELISA method. Results: It was found that silibinin in 50 and 100 μM treatment showed a significant protective effect in RGCs under blue light damage. Apoptosis assay showed that silibinin treatment could significantly improve the apoptotic status of RGCs. When the potentially affected signal pathway was considered, blue light would down-regulate the expression of MEK1/ERK/CREB. The levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10) were significantly regulated by silibinin treatment. Conclusions: Silibinin pretreatment would demonstrate protective effect against blue light induced acute RGCs damage. Silibinin treatment has a direct suppression of apoptosis and inflammation through the activation of MEK/ERK/CREB pathway in vitro.
