[PMID: 38103229 PMCID: PMC10960298 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.389361] [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: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Central nervous system injuries have a high rate of resulting in disability and mortality; however, at present, effective treatments are lacking. Programmed cell death, which is a genetically determined form of active and ordered cell death with many types, has recently attracted increasing attention due to its functions in determining the fate of cell survival. A growing number of studies have suggested that programmed cell death is involved in central nervous system injuries and plays an important role in the progression of brain damage. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of programmed cell death in central nervous system injuries, including the pathways involved in mitophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis, and the underlying mechanisms by which mitophagy regulates pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis. We also discuss the new direction of therapeutic strategies targeting mitophagy for the treatment of central nervous system injuries, with the aim to determine the connection between programmed cell death and central nervous system injuries and to identify new therapies to modulate programmed cell death following central nervous system injury. In conclusion, based on these properties and effects, interventions targeting programmed cell death could be developed as potential therapeutic agents for central nervous system injury patients.

Meng J, Song X, Xing X, Chen J, Lou D. Coptisine prevents angiotensin II‑induced endothelial cell injury and senescence via the lncRNA SNHG12/miR‑603/NAMPT pathway. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:68. [PMID: 38234617 PMCID: PMC10792411 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2023.12356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major health problem and targeting the associated molecular pathways is critical for developing therapies. The present study investigated the effect of coptisine on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in response to angiotensin II (Ang II) induction by focusing on cellular senescence, apoptosis and inflammation. HUVECs were treated with different Ang II concentrations and long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12), microRNA (miRNA/miR)-603 and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) expressions were assessed. Cell viability, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels, senescence, apoptosis and inflammation were assessed. The interactions among SNHG12, miR-603 and NAMPT were investigated using dual-luciferase reporter gene assays and RNA pull-down experiments. Coptisine treatment increased SNHG12 expression and attenuated Ang II-induced adverse effects in HUVECs. SNHG12 silencing abrogated coptisine's protective effects, indicating that SNHG12 is a key mediator. SNHG12 targets miR-603, which then directly targets NAMPT, an age-related gene involved in NAD(+) regulation. Coptisine modulated the SNHG12/miR-603/NAMPT pathway and miR-603 inhibition enhanced the protective effects of coptisine. NAMPT overexpression reversed the negative effects of miR-603 and enhanced the protective effect of the miR-603 inhibitor. Finally, the protective mechanism of coptisine is linked to the regulation of NAD(+), sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and p53. Coptisine treatment counteracted the AngII-induced increase in SIRT3 and p53 protein levels, whereas the miR-603 inhibitor potentiated the effect of coptisine. SNHG12 knockdown partially abolished these effects, which were reversed by NAMPT overexpression. In conclusion, the present study revealed a novel protective mechanism involving the SNHG12/miR-603/NAMPT pathway in HUVECs exposed to Ang II, highlighting the potential therapeutic application of coptisine in treating atherosclerosis. These results suggested that coptisine exerts its protective effects by modulating the SNHG12/miR-603/NAMPT axis, which ultimately affects the regulation of NAD(+), SIRT3 and p53. Future studies should explore the potential of the SNHG12/miR-603/NAMPT pathway as a target for developing novel AS therapies.

Mishra Y, Kumar Kaundal R. Role of SIRT3 in mitochondrial biology and its therapeutic implications in neurodegenerative disorders. Drug Discov Today 2023; 28:103583.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial deacetylase expressed preferentially in high-metabolic-demand tissues including the brain, requires NAD+ as a cofactor for catalytic activity. It regulates various processes such as energy homeostasis, redox balance, mitochondrial quality control, mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), biogenesis, dynamics and mitophagy by altering protein acetylation status. Reduced SIRT3 expression or activity causes hyperacetylation of hundreds of mitochondrial proteins, which has been linked with neurological abnormalities, neuro-excitotoxicity and neuronal cell death. A body of evidence has suggested, SIRT3 activation as a potential therapeutic modality for age-related brain abnormalities and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
SIRT3 deacetylates mitochondrial proteins, thereby enhancing their function. We have previously demonstrated that Sirt3 gene deletion leads to brain mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. We also reported that silencing of Sirt3 gene in APP/PS1 mice results in exacerbation of insulin resistance, neuroinflammation and β amyloid plaque deposition. To further understand how metabolic syndrome and amyloid pathology interact, we performed RNA-seq analysis of the brain samples of APP/PS1/Sirt3-/- mice. Gene expression patterns were modulated in metabolic and inflammatory pathways by Sirt3 gene deletion, amyloid pathology, and the combination. Following Sirt3 gene deletion, a key finding was the decreased expression of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), an enzyme that regulates the levels of insulin and Aβ peptides. Western diet feeding of Sirt3-/- and APP/PS1 mice resulted in decrease of IDE protein, parallel to Sirt3 downregulation. Conversely, activation of SIRT3 by nicotinamide riboside in vivo and in vitro resulted in IDE upregulation. SIRT3 activation in vivo also increased the levels of neprilysin, another Aβ degrading enzyme and decreased the levels of BACE1 which generates Aβ peptide suggesting SIRT3's role in amyloid plaque reduction. Our findings provide a plausible mechanism linking metabolic syndrome and amyloid pathology. SIRT3 may be a potential therapeutic target to treat AD.

Abstract
Mitochondrial protein acetylation is associated with a host of diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s, and metabolic syndrome. Deciphering the mechanisms regarding how protein acetylation contributes to disease pathologies remains difficult due to the complex diversity of pathways targeted by lysine acetylation. Specifically, protein acetylation is thought to direct feedback from metabolism, whereby nutritional status influences mitochondrial pathways including beta-oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Acetylation provides a crucial connection between hepatic metabolism and mitochondrial function. Dysregulation of protein acetylation throughout the cell can alter mitochondrial function and is associated with numerous liver diseases, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This review introduces biochemical mechanisms of protein acetylation in the regulation of mitochondrial function and hepatic diseases and offers a viewpoint on the potential for targeted therapies.

Finding New Ways How to Control BACE1. J Membr Biol 2022; 255:293-318. [PMID: 35305135 DOI: 10.1007/s00232-022-00225-1] [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: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Recently, all applications of BACE1 inhibitors failed as therapeutical targets for Alzheimer´s disease (AD) due to severe side effects. Therefore, alternative ways for treatment development are a hot research topic. The present analysis investigates BACE1 protein-protein interaction networks and attempts to solve the absence of complete knowledge about pathways involving BACE1. A bioinformatics analysis matched the functions of the non-substrate interaction network with Voltage-gated potassium channels, which also appear as top priority protein nodes. Targeting BACE1 interactions with PS1 and GGA-s, blocking of BACE1 access to APP by BRI3 and RTN-s, activation of Wnt signaling and upregulation of β-catenin, and brain delivery of the extracellular domain of p75NTR, are the main alternatives to the use of BACE 1 inhibitors highlighted by the analysis. The pathway enrichment analysis also emphasized substrates and substrate candidates with essential biological functions, which cleavage must remain controlled. They include ephrin receptors, ROBO1, ROBO2, CNTN-s, CASPR-s, CD147, CypB, TTR, APLP1/APLP2, NRXN-s, and PTPR-s. The analysis of the interaction subnetwork of BACE1 functionally related to inflammation identified a connection to three cardiomyopathies, which supports the hypothesis of the common molecular mechanisms with AD. A lot of potential shows the regulation of BACE1 activity through post-translational modifications. The interaction network of BACE1 and its phosphorylation enzyme CSNK1D functionally match the Circadian clock, p53, and Hedgehog signaling pathways. The regulation of BACE1 glycosylation could be achieved through N-acetylglucosamine transferases, α-(1→6)-fucosyltransferase, β-galactoside α-(2→6)-sialyltransferases, galactosyltransferases, and mannosidases suggested by the interaction network analysis of BACE1-MGAT3. The present analysis proposes possibilities for the alternative control of AD pathology.
