Liu F, Li C. SIRT1-driven mechanism: sevoflurane's interference with mESC neural differentiation via PRRX1/DRD2 cascade. Hum Mol Genet 2024:ddae099. [PMID: 39087769 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddae099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Investigating the sevoflurane-induced perturbation in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into neural stem cells (mNSCs), our study delineates a novel SIRT1/PRRX1/DRD2/PKM2/NRF2 axis as a key player in this intricate process. Sevoflurane treatment hindered mESC differentiation, evidenced by altered expression patterns of pluripotency and neural lineage markers. Mechanistically, sevoflurane downregulated Sirt1, setting in motion a signaling cascade. Sevoflurane may inhibit PKM2 dimerization and NRF2 signaling pathway activation by inhibiting the expression of SIRT1 and its downstream genes Prrx1 and DRD2, ultimately inhibiting mESCs differentiation into mNSCs. These findings contribute to our understanding of the molecular basis of sevoflurane-induced neural toxicity, presenting a potential avenue for therapeutic intervention in sevoflurane-induced perturbation in the differentiation of mESCs into mNSCs by modulating the SIRT1/PRRX1/DRD2/PKM2/NRF2 axis.

Efficacy of melatonin in alleviating disorders arising from repeated exposure to sevoflurane in males and females of the Wistar rats during preadolescence. Sci Rep 2024; 14:11889. [PMID: 38789558 PMCID: PMC11126601 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-62170-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Pediatricians use sevoflurane due to its fast action and short recovery time. However, studies have shown that repeated exposure to anesthesia can affect learning and memory. Melatonin, an indole-type neuroendocrine hormone, has significant anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Melatonin's impact on cognitive behavior in sevoflurane-anesthetized males and females of the Wistar rats during preadolescence was examined in this research. The cognitive function was evaluated by shuttle box and morris water maze tests, while interleukin-10, Catalase (CAT), Malondialdehyde (MDA), and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) were evaluated using ELISA kits. The expression levels of the apoptosis-linked proteins, Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3, were determined using the western blotting technique. The learning and memory latencies of the rats were more significant in the sevoflurane groups than in the control group; however, the latencies were significantly shorter in the sevoflurane and melatonin groups than in the control group. The levels of MDA, TNF-α, Bax, and caspase-3 were significantly higher in the sevoflurane groups than in the control group. We also found that the levels of CAT and Bcl-2 were significantly reduced in the sevoflurane groups compared to the control group. Increasing levels of CAT, Bcl-2, and decreasing levels of MDA, TNF-α, Bax, and caspase-3 in response to melatonin indicate a possible contribution to the recovery from the sevoflurane impairment. Melatonin shows neuroprotective effects in male and female rats with sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment. This suggests melatonin could be a valuable treatment for learning and memory deficits resulting from repeated exposure to sevoflurane, possibly by controlling apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Abstract
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an essential network of neurons and glia in the bowel wall. Defects in ENS development can result in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a life-threatening condition characterized by severe constipation, abdominal distention, bilious vomiting, and failure to thrive. A growing body of literature connects HSCR to alterations in miRNA expression, but there are limited data on the normal miRNA landscape in the developing ENS. We sequenced small RNAs (smRNA-seq) and messenger RNAs (mRNA-seq) from ENS precursor cells of mid-gestation Ednrb-EGFP mice and compared them to aggregated RNA from all other cells in the developing bowel. Our smRNA-seq results identified 73 miRNAs that were significantly enriched and highly expressed in the developing ENS, with miR-9, miR-27b, miR-124, miR-137, and miR-488 as our top 5 miRNAs that are conserved in humans. However, contrary to prior reports, our follow-up analyses of miR-137 showed that loss of Mir137 in Nestin-cre, Wnt1-cre, Sox10-cre, or Baf53b-cre lineage cells had no effect on mouse survival or ENS development. Our data provide important context for future studies of miRNAs in HSCR and other ENS diseases and highlight open questions about facility-specific factors in development.

The circular RNA Rap1b promotes Hoxa5 transcription by recruiting Kat7 and leading to increased Fam3a expression, which inhibits neuronal apoptosis in acute ischemic stroke. Neural Regen Res 2023; 18:2237-2245. [PMID: 37056143 PMCID: PMC10328278 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.369115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Circular RNAs can regulate the development and progression of ischemic cerebral disease. However, it remains unclear whether they play a role in acute ischemic stroke. To investigate the role of the circular RNA Rap1b (circRap1b) in acute ischemic stroke, in this study we established an in vitro model of acute ischemia and hypoxia by subjecting HT22 cells to oxygen and glucose deprivation and a mouse model of acute ischemia and hypoxia by occluding the right carotid artery. We found that circRap1b expression was remarkably down-regulated in the hippocampal tissue of the mouse model and in the HT22 cell model. In addition, Hoxa5 expression was strongly up-regulated in response to circRap1b overexpression. Hoxa5 expression was low in the hippocampus of a mouse model of acute ischemia and in HT22-AIS cells, and inhibited HT22-AIS cell apoptosis. Importantly, we found that circRap1b promoted Hoxa5 transcription by recruiting the acetyltransferase Kat7 to induce H3K14ac modification in the Hoxa5 promoter region. Hoxa5 regulated neuronal apoptosis by activating transcription of Fam3a, a neuronal apoptosis-related protein. These results suggest that circRap1b regulates Hoxa5 transcription and expression, and subsequently Fam3a expression, ultimately inhibiting cell apoptosis. Lastly, we explored the potential clinical relevance of circRap1b and Hoxa5 in vivo. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the mechanism by which circRap1b inhibits neuronal apoptosis in acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Propofol is neurotoxic to trigger neuronal pyroptosis and dexmedetomidine possesses the ability to suppress proptosis. This study expounded on the protective functions of dexmedetomidine on propofol-induced pyroptosis of primary hippocampal neurons via NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway. At first, primary hippocampal neurons underwent separation and identification and were treated with different concentrations of propofol (1, 10, and 100 μM). The toxicity of propofol in the neurons was evaluated. Prior to propofol treatment, the neurons were treated with different concentrations of dexmedetomidine (0.01, 0.1, 1, 5, and 10 μM). The viability of neurons with different treatments was detected. The mRNA expressions of homeobox A5 (HOXA5) and NLRP3 were identified. The protein levels of intracellular HOXA5, NLRP3, the N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N), and cleaved-caspase-1 and the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 were examined. Subsequently, the binding of HOXA5 to the NLRP3 promoter was detected. Joint experiments were conducted with pcDNA3.1-HOXA5 or pcDNA3.1-NLRP3 in dexmedetomidine-treated neurons. Dexmedetomidine pretreatment attenuated propofol-induced pyroptosis of hippocampal neurons, increased cell viability, and repressed NLRP3, GSDMD-N, and cleaved-caspase-1 protein levels and IL-1β and IL-18 concentrations. Dexmedetomidine pretreatment inhibited intracellular HOXA5 expression, and HOXA5 bound to the NLRP3 promoter region to promote NLRP3 expression. Overexpressing HOXA5 or NLRP3 reversed anti-pyroptosis role of dexmedetomidine pretreatment in hippocampal neurons. Dexmedetomidine pretreatment suppressed NLRP3 expression by downregulating HOXA5 expression, inhibiting propofol-induced pyroptosis in primary hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), especially in elderly patients, is a serious complication characterized by impairment of cognitive and sensory modalities after surgery. The pathogenesis of POCD mainly includes neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress, accumulation of Aβ, and tau hyperphosphorylation; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) may play an important role in POCD. Some evidence suggests that microRNA, long ncRNA, and circular RNA can regulate POCD-related processes, making them promising biomarkers in POCD diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This article reviews the crosstalk between ncRNAs and POCD, and systematically discusses the role of ncRNAs in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of POCD. Additionally, we explored the possible mechanisms of ncRNA-associated POCD, providing new knowledge for developing ncRNA-based treatments for POCD.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in cognitive dysfunction induced by isoflurane (ISO). Morrier water maze analysis was performed to evaluate the cognitive function of rats. Modified modified neurological severity score (mNSS) scores were assessed for neurological damage. The levels of MEG3 in hippocampal tissues of rats and hippocampal neuron cell lines HT22 were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, the cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assay. Indicators of inflammation and oxidative stress were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and commercial assay kits. Relationship between MEG3 and microRNA (miR)-7-5p was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. MEG3 was increased in hippocampal tissues and HT22 after ISO treatment (P < 0.05). MEG3 downregulation alleviated the increase in neurological severity score and cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO treatment (P < 0.05). In vitro, MEG3 downregulation alleviates the decrease in cell activity and increased apoptosis induced by ISO. What's more, MEG3 reduction eliminated activation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress promoted by ISO treatment in rats and HT22 (P < 0.05). MEG3 was confirmed to specifically bind to miR-7-5p. Inhibition of miR-7-5p eliminated the alleviating effects of MEG3 downregulation on cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO treatment. Decreased MEG3 alleviates cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO by targeting miR-7-5p and play a neuroprotective effect. We present a strategy for MEG3 as a potential target for brain protection during anesthesia.
