Abstract
Lysine post-translational modifications (PTMs) are widespread and versatile protein PTMs that are involved in diverse biological processes by regulating the fundamental functions of histone and non-histone proteins. Dysregulation of lysine PTMs is implicated in many diseases, and targeting lysine PTM regulatory factors, including writers, erasers, and readers, has become an effective strategy for disease therapy. The continuing development of mass spectrometry (MS) technologies coupled with antibody-based affinity enrichment technologies greatly promotes the discovery and decoding of PTMs. The global characterization of lysine PTMs is crucial for deciphering the regulatory networks, molecular functions, and mechanisms of action of lysine PTMs. In this review, we focus on lysine PTMs, and provide a summary of the regulatory enzymes of diverse lysine PTMs and the proteomics advances in lysine PTMs by MS technologies. We also discuss the types and biological functions of lysine PTM crosstalks on histone and non-histone proteins and current druggable targets of lysine PTM regulatory factors for disease therapy.

Quercetin inhibits necroptosis in cardiomyocytes after ischemia-reperfusion via DNA-PKcs-SIRT5-orchestrated mitochondrial quality control. Phytother Res 2024; 38:2496-2517. [PMID: 38447978 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8177] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
We investigated the mechanism by which quercetin preserves mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in cardiomyocytes subjected to ischemia-reperfusion stress. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed in the in vivo experiments to assess myocardial injury markers, measure the transcript levels of SIRT5/DNAPK-cs/MLKL during various time intervals of ischemia-reperfusion, and observe structural changes in cardiomyocytes using transmission electron microscopy. In in vitro investigations, adenovirus transfection was employed to establish a gene-modified model of DNA-PKcs, and primary cardiomyocytes were obtained from a mouse model with modified SIRT5 gene. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, laser confocal microscopy, immunofluorescence localization, JC-1 fluorescence assay, Seahorse energy analysis, and various other assays were applied to corroborate the regulatory influence of quercetin on the MQC network in cardiomyocytes after ischemia-reperfusion. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ischemia-reperfusion injury caused changes in the structure of the myocardium. It was seen that quercetin had a beneficial effect on the myocardial tissue, providing protection. As the ischemia-reperfusion process continued, the levels of DNA-PKcs/SIRT5/MLKL transcripts were also found to change. In vitro investigations revealed that quercetin mitigated cardiomyocyte injury caused by mitochondrial oxidative stress through DNA-PKcs, and regulated mitophagy and mitochondrial kinetics to sustain optimal mitochondrial energy metabolism levels. Quercetin, through SIRT5 desuccinylation, modulated the stability of DNA-PKcs, and together they regulated the "mitophagy-unfolded protein response." This preserved the integrity of mitochondrial membrane and genome, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitochondrial energy metabolism. Quercetin may operate synergistically to oversee the regulation of mitophagy and the unfolded protein response through DNA-PKcs-SIRT5 interaction.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) represent a class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacetylases that exert a crucial role in cellular signal transduction and various biological processes. The mammalian sirtuins family encompasses SIRT1 to SIRT7, exhibiting therapeutic potential in counteracting cellular aging, modulating metabolism, responding to oxidative stress, inhibiting tumors, and improving cellular microenvironment. These enzymes are intricately linked to the occurrence and treatment of diverse pathological conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular disorders. Given the significance of histone modification in gene expression and chromatin structure, maintaining the equilibrium of the sirtuins family is imperative for disease prevention and health restoration. Mounting evidence suggests that modulators of SIRTs play a crucial role in treating various diseases and maintaining physiological balance. This review delves into the molecular structure and regulatory functions of the sirtuins family, reviews the classification and historical evolution of SIRTs modulators, offers a systematic overview of existing SIRTs modulation strategies, and elucidates the regulatory mechanisms of SIRTs modulators (agonists and inhibitors) and their clinical applications. The article concludes by summarizing the challenges encountered in SIRTs modulator research and offering insights into future research directions.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the host's dysfunctional response to infection. Abnormal activation of the immune system and disturbance of energy metabolism play a key role in the development of sepsis. In recent years, the Sirtuins (SIRTs) family has been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. SIRTs, as a class of histone deacetylases (HDACs), are widely involved in cellular inflammation regulation, energy metabolism and oxidative stress. The effects of SIRTs on immune cells are mainly reflected in the regulation of inflammatory pathways. This regulation helps balance the inflammatory response and may lessen cell damage and organ dysfunction in sepsis. In terms of energy metabolism, SIRTs can play a role in immunophenotypic transformation by regulating cell metabolism, improve mitochondrial function, increase energy production, and maintain cell energy balance. SIRTs also regulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting cells from oxidative stress damage by activating antioxidant defense pathways and maintaining a balance between oxidants and reducing agents. Current studies have shown that several potential drugs, such as Resveratrol and melatonin, can enhance the activity of SIRT. It can help to reduce inflammatory response, improve energy metabolism and reduce oxidative stress, showing potential clinical application prospects for the treatment of sepsis. This review focuses on the regulation of SIRT on inflammatory response, energy metabolism and oxidative stress of immune cells, as well as its important influence on multiple organ dysfunction in sepsis, and discusses and summarizes the effects of related drugs and compounds on reducing multiple organ damage in sepsis through the pathway involving SIRTs. SIRTs may become a new target for the treatment of sepsis and its resulting organ dysfunction, providing new ideas and possibilities for the treatment of this life-threatening disease.

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Ischemic cell death triggered by the compromised supply of blood oxygen and glucose is one of the major pathophysiology of stroke-induced brain injury. Impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism is observed minutes after stroke and is closely associated with the progression of neuropathology. Recently, a new type of post-translational modification, known as lysine succinylation, has been recognized to play a significant role in mitochondrial energy metabolism after ischemia. However, the role of succinylation modification in cell metabolism after stroke and its regulation are not well understood. We aimed to review the effects of succinylation on energy metabolism, reactive oxygen species generation, and neuroinflammation, as well as Sirtuin 5 mediated desuccinylation after stroke. We also highlight the potential of targeting succinylation/desuccinylation as a promising strategy for the treatment of stroke. The succinylation level is dynamically regulated by the nonenzymatic or enzymatic transfer of a succinyl group to a protein on lysine residues and the removal of succinyl catalyzed by desuccinylases. Mounting evidence has suggested that succinylation can regulate the metabolic pathway through modulating the activity or stability of metabolic enzymes. Sirtuins, especially Sirtuin 5, are characterized for their desuccinylation activity and have been recognized as a critical regulator of metabolism through desuccinylating numerous metabolic enzymes. Imbalance between succinylation and desuccinylation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of stroke. Pharmacological agents that enhance the activity of Sirtuin 5 have been employed to promote desuccinylation and improve mitochondrial metabolism, and neuroprotective effects of these agents have been observed in experimental stroke studies. However, their therapeutic efficacy in stroke patients should be validated.

Neurochem Res 2024; 49:998-1007.

Abstract
This work aimed to study the role and mechanism of SIRT5 regulation of ferroptosis in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats was prepared using the method of thread occlusion. The ferroptosis inhibitor was injected intraperitoneally while the SIRT5 interfering lentivirus were injected into the brain, and neurological disorders were scored in the rats. TTC staining was used to detect infarct volume, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SIRT5 in tissues. Rat hippocampal neuronal cells H19-7 were transduced with SIRT5 interfering lentivirus and ferroptosis was induced using erastin. The CCK8 detection kit was used to detect cell viability. Commercial kits were used to detect levels of iron ions, ROS, MDA, SOD, and inflammatory factor (TNF-α and IL-6) in brain tissue or cell supernatant. Western blot was used to detect the expression changes of ferroptosis related proteins GPX4, Nrf2, and HO-1 in tissues or cells. Compared with the sham group, the MCAO model group showed higher levels of neurological impairment score, increased cerebral infarction volume, iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. Compared with the MCAO group, the MCAO + fer-1 group exhibited lower levels of neurological impairment scores, cerebral infarction volume, decreased iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. Meanwhile, compared with the MCAO + DMSO/LV-shRNA group, the MCAO + fer-1/LV-shSIRT5 group showed a significant decrease in neurological impairment scores, cerebral infarction volume, iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. In vitro experiments have found that LV-shSIRT5 can prevent erastin-induced cell ferroptosis. In summary, SIRT5 regulates ferroptosis through the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling axis to participate in ischemia-reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) triggers a cascade of events that lead to early brain injury (EBI), which contributes to poor outcomes and appears within 3 days after SAH initiation. EBI involves multiple process including neuronal death, blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury and inflammation response. Microglia are cluster of immune cells originating in the brain which respond to SAH by changing their states and releasing inflammatory molecules through various signaling pathways. M0, M1, M2 are three states of microglia represent resting state, promoting inflammation state, and anti-inflammation state respectively, which can be modulated by pharmacological strategies. AIM OF THE STUDY After identified potential active ingredients and targets of Sanhua Decoction (SHD) for SAH, we selected aloe-emodin (AE) as a potential ingredient modulating microglia activation states. MATERIALS AND METHODS Molecular mechanisms, targets and pathways of SHD were reveal by network pharmacology technique. The effects of AE on SAH were evaluated in vivo by assessing neurological deficits, neuronal apoptosis and BBB integrity in a mouse SAH model. Furthermore, BV-2 cells were used to examine the effects of AE on microglial polarization. The influence of AE on microglia transformation was measured by Iba-1, TNF-α, CD68, Arg-1 and CD206 staining. The signal pathways of neuronal apoptosis and microglia polarization was measured by Western blot. RESULTS Network pharmacology identified potential active ingredients and targets of SHD for SAH. And AE is one of the active ingredients. We also confirmed that AE via NF-κB and PKA/CREB pathway inhibited the microglia activation and promoted transformation from M1 phenotype to M2 at EBI stage after SAH. CONCLUSIONS AE, as one ingredient of SHD, can alleviate the inflammatory response and protecting neurons from SAH-induced injury. AE has potential value for treating SAH-induced nerve injury and is expected to be applied in clinical practice.

Abstract
Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), including stroke, brain tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases, have a serious impact on human health worldwide, especially in elderly patients. The brain, which is one of the body's most metabolically dynamic organs, lacks fuel stores and therefore requires a continuous supply of energy substrates. Metabolic abnormalities are closely associated with the pathogenesis of CNS disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential regulatory mechanisms that affect the functions of almost all proteins. Succinylation, a broad-spectrum dynamic PTM, primarily occurs in mitochondria and plays a crucial regulatory role in various diseases. In addition to directly affecting various metabolic cycle pathways, succinylation serves as an efficient and rapid biological regulatory mechanism that establishes a connection between metabolism and proteins, thereby influencing cellular functions in CNS diseases. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of succinylation and its implications in the pathological mechanisms of CNS diseases. The objective is to outline novel strategies and targets for the prevention and treatment of CNS conditions.

Abstract
Morphine tolerance is an important factor in unsatisfactory analgesia. HADHA is a crucial enzyme in fatty acid β-oxidation. In this study, we investigated the potential significance of HADHA in a mechanism that might cause morphine tolerance related to functional changes in energy metabolism and further explored the effect of HADHA desuccinylation on morphine tolerance. Rats received daily intrathecal injections of 10 µg of morphine for a duration of 7 consecutive days, and pain thresholds were measured using the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal tail flick latency (TFL) tests. µ-Opioid receptor (MOR), LC3-I/II, and P62 expression and HADHA succinylation were assessed. HADHA succinylation was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Morphine influenced the LC3II/LC3I ratio and P62 expression level, which are crucial indicators of autophagy, and stimulated HADHA succinylation. Additionally, HADHA was selectively bound by the desuccinylase SIRT5, and SIRT5 overexpression decreased HADHA succinylation, reduced P62 expression, and alleviated morphine tolerance.

Citrate synthase lysine K215 hypoacetylation contributes to microglial citrate accumulation and pro-inflammatory functions after traumatic brain injury. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14567.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the relationship between microglial metabolism and neuroinflammation by examining the impact of citrate accumulation in microglia and its potential regulation through Cs K215 hypoacetylation. METHODS Experimental approaches included assessing Cs enzyme activity through Cs K215Q mutation and investigating the inhibitory effects of hesperidin, a natural flavanone glycoside, on citrate synthase. Microglial phagocytosis and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines were also examined in relation to Cs K215Q mutation and hesperidin treatment. RESULTS Cs K215Q mutation and hesperidin exhibited significant inhibitory effects on Cs enzyme activity, microglial citrate accumulation, phagocytosis, and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Interestingly, Sirt3 knockdown aggravated microglial pro-inflammatory functions during neuroinflammation, despite its proven role in Cs deacetylation. CONCLUSION Cs K215Q mutation and hesperidin effectively inhibited microglial pro-inflammatory functions without reversing the metabolic reprogramming. These findings suggest that targeting Cs K215 hypoacetylation and utilizing hesperidin may hold promise for modulating neuroinflammation in microglia.

Multiomic analysis in fibroblasts of patients with inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism reveals concordance with clinical and metabolic variability. EBioMedicine 2024; 99:104911. [PMID: 38168585 PMCID: PMC10794925 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104911] [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: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The high variability in clinical and metabolic presentations of inborn errors of cobalamin (cbl) metabolism (IECM), such as the cblC/epicblC types with combined deficits in methylmalonyl-coA mutase (MUT) and methionine synthase (MS), are not well understood. They could be explained by the impaired expression/activity of enzymes from other metabolic pathways. METHODS We performed metabolomic, genomic, proteomic, and post-translational modification (PTM) analyses in fibroblasts from three cblC cases and one epi-cblC case compared with three cblG cases with specific MS deficits and control fibroblasts. FINDINGS CblC patients had metabolic profilings consistent with altered urea cycle, glycine, and energy mitochondrial metabolism. Metabolomic analysis showed partial disruption and increased glutamate/ketoglutarate anaplerotic pathway of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), in patient fibroblasts. RNA-seq analysis showed decreased expression of MT-TT (mitochondrial tRNA threonine), MT-TP (mitochondrial tRNA proline), OXCT1 (succinyl CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase deficiency), and MT-CO1 (cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1). Proteomic changes were observed for key mitochondrial enzymes, including NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A8 (NDUFA8), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), and ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase, complex III subunit X (UQCR10). Propionaldehyde addition in ornithine aminotransferase was the predominant PTM in cblC cells and could be related with the dramatic cellular increase in propionate and methylglyoxalate. It is consistent with the decreased concentration of ornithine reported in 3 cblC cases. Whether the changes detected after multi-omic analyses underlies clinical features in cblC and cblG types of IECM, such as peripheral and central neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, development delay, remains to be investigated. INTERPRETATION The omics-related effects of IECM on other enzymes and metabolic pathways are consistent with the diversity and variability of their age-related metabolic and clinical manifestations. PTMs are expected to produce cumulative effects, which could explain the influence of age on neurological manifestations.

Abstract
Cells need to adapt their activities to extra- and intracellular signalling cues. To translate a received extracellular signal, cells have specific receptors that transmit the signal to downstream proteins so that it can reach the nucleus to initiate or repress gene transcription. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are reversible or irreversible chemical modifications that help to further modulate protein activity. The most commonly observed PTMs are the phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues, followed by acetylation, glycosylation, and amidation. In addition to PTMs that involve the modification of a certain amino acid (phosphorylation, hydrophobic groups for membrane localisation, or chemical groups like acylation), or the conjugation of peptides (SUMOylation, NEDDylation), structural changes such as the formation of disulphide bridge, protein cleavage or splicing can also be classified as PTMs. Recently, it was discovered that metabolites from the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are not only intermediates that support cellular metabolism but can also modify lysine residues. This has been shown for acetate, succinate, and lactate, among others. Due to the importance of mitochondria for the overall fitness of organisms, the regulatory function of such PTMs is critical for protection from aging, neurodegeneration, or cardiovascular disease. Cancer cells and activated immune cells display a phenotype of accelerated metabolic activity known as the Warburg effect. This metabolic state is characterised by enhanced glycolysis, the use of the pentose phosphate pathway as well as a disruption of the TCA cycle, ultimately causing the accumulation of metabolites like citrate, succinate, and malate. Succinate can then serve as a signalling molecule by directly interacting with proteins, by binding to its G protein-coupled receptor 91 (GPR91) and by post-translationally modifying proteins through succinylation of lysine residues, respectively. This review is focus on the process of protein succinylation and its importance in health and disease.

Inhibition of USP30 Promotes Mitophagy by Regulating Ubiquitination of MFN2 by Parkin to Attenuate Early Brain Injury After SAH. Transl Stroke Res 2023:10.1007/s12975-023-01228-3. [PMID: 38147294 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-023-01228-3] [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: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of stroke with a high disability and mortality rate. Apoptosis caused by massive damage to mitochondria in neuron cells and inflammatory responses caused by high extracellular ATP lead to poor outcomes. USP30 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that inhibits mitophagy, resulting in a failure to remove damaged mitochondria in a timely manner after SAH; nevertheless, the pathway through which USP30 inhibits mitophagy is unknown. This study evaluated the neuroprotective role and possible molecular basis by which inhibiting USP30 to attenuate SAH-induced EBI by promoting neuronal mitophagy. We used an in vitro model of hemoglobin exposure and an in vivo model of intravascular perforation. Increased expression of USP30 was found after SAH in vivo and in vitro, and USP30 inhibition expression in SAH mice treated with MF094 resulted in significant improvement of neurological injury and inflammatory response and mediated good outcomes, suggesting a neuroprotective effect of USP30 inhibition. In cultured neurons, inhibition of USP30 promoted ubiquitination modification of mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (MFN2) by E3 ubiquitin ligase (Parkin), separating damaged mitochondria from the healthy mitochondrial network and prompting mitophagy, causing early clearance of damaged intracellular mitochondria, and reducing the onset of apoptosis. The high extracellular ATP environment was meliorated, reversing the conversion of microglia to a pro-inflammatory phenotype and reducing inflammatory injury. USP30 inhibition had no autophagy-promoting effect on structurally and functionally sound mitochondria and did not inhibit normal intracellular ATP production. The findings suggest that USP30 inhibition has a neuroprotective effect after SAH by promoting early mitophagy after SAH to clear damaged mitochondria.

Gas6 Promotes Microglia Efferocytosis and Suppresses Inflammation Through Activating Axl/Rac1 Signaling in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Mice. Transl Stroke Res 2023; 14:955-969.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by rapid development of neuron apoptosis and dysregulated inflammatory response. Microglia efferocytosis plays a critical role in the clearance of apoptotic cells, attenuation of inflammation, and minimizing brain injury in various pathological conditions. Here, using a mouse SAH model, we aim to investigate whether microglia efferocytosis is involved in post-SAH inflammation and to determine the underlying signaling pathway. We hypothesized that TAM receptors and their ligands regulate this process. To prove our hypothesis, the expression and cellular location of TAM (Tyro3, Axl, and Mertk) receptors and their ligands growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) and Protein S (ProS1) were examined by PCR, western blots, and fluorescence immunostaining. Thirty minutes after SAH, mice received an intraventricular injection of recombinant Gas6 (rGas6) or recombinant ProS1 (rPros1) and underwent evaluations of inflammatory mediator expression, neurological deficits, and blood-brain barrier integrity at 24 h. Microglia efferocytosis of apoptotic neurons was analyzed in vivo and in vitro. The potential mechanism was determined by inhibiting or knocking down TAM receptors and Rac1 by specific inhibitors or siRNA. SAH induced upregulation of Axl and its ligand Gas6. The administration of rGas6 but not rPros1 promoted microglia efferocytosis, alleviated inflammation, and ameliorated SAH-induced BBB breakdown and neurological deficits. The beneficial effects of rGas6 were arrogated by inhibiting or knocking down Axl and Rac1. We concluded that rGas6 attenuated the development of early brain injury in mice after SAH by facilitating microglia efferocytosis and preventing inflammatory response, which is partly dependent on activation of Axl and Rac1.

Abstract
Significance: The remarkable geometry of the axon exposes it to unique challenges for survival and maintenance. Axonal degeneration is a feature of peripheral neuropathies, glaucoma, and traumatic brain injury, and an early event in neurodegenerative diseases. Since the discovery of Wallerian degeneration (WD), a molecular program that hijacks nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism for axonal self-destruction, the complex roles of NAD+ in axonal viability and disease have become research priority. Recent Advances: The discoveries of the protective Wallerian degeneration slow (WldS) and of sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (SARM1) activation as the main instructive signal for WD have shed new light on the regulatory role of NAD+ in axonal degeneration in a growing number of neurological diseases. SARM1 has been characterized as a NAD+ hydrolase and sensor of NAD+ metabolism. The discovery of regulators of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (NMNAT2) proteostasis in axons, the allosteric regulation of SARM1 by NAD+ and NMN, and the existence of clinically relevant windows of action of these signals has opened new opportunities for therapeutic interventions, including SARM1 inhibitors and modulators of NAD+ metabolism. Critical Issues: Events upstream and downstream of SARM1 remain unclear. Furthermore, manipulating NAD+ metabolism, an overdetermined process crucial in cell survival, for preventing the degeneration of the injured axon may be difficult and potentially toxic. Future Directions: There is a need for clarification of the distinct roles of NAD+ metabolism in axonal maintenance as contrasted to WD. There is also a need to better understand the role of NAD+ metabolism in axonal endangerment in neuropathies, diseases of the white matter, and the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a prevalent cerebrovascular disease with significant global mortality and morbidity rates. Despite advancements in pharmacological and surgical approaches, the quality of life for SAH survivors has not shown substantial improvement. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered a primary contributor to death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospastic therapies have not demonstrated significant benefits for SAH patients' prognosis. Emerging studies suggest that early brain injury (EBI) may play a crucial role in influencing SAH prognosis. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a group of NAD + -dependent deacylases comprising seven mammalian family members (SIRT1 to SIRT7), have been found to be involved in neural tissue development, plasticity, and aging. They also exhibit vital functions in various central nervous system (CNS) processes, including cognition, pain perception, mood, behavior, sleep, and circadian rhythms. Extensive research has uncovered the multifaceted roles of SIRTs in CNS disorders, offering insights into potential markers for pathological processes and promising therapeutic targets (such as SIRT1 activators and SIRT2 inhibitors). In this article, we provide an overview of recent research progress on the application of SIRTs in subarachnoid hemorrhage and explore their underlying mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of NAD+-dependent deacylases with numerous physiological and pathological implications, which lately became an attractive therapeutic target. Sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs) could be useful in disease prevention and treatment. Despite its bioavailability issues, resveratrol exerts a myriad of beneficial effects, known as the "resveratrol paradox". Modulation of sirtuins' expression and activity may, in fact, underlie many of resveratrol revered actions; however, the cellular pathways affected by modulating the activity of each sirtuin isoform, in different physio-pathological conditions, are not fully known. The purpose of this review was to summarize recent reports concerning the effects of resveratrol on the activity of sirtuins in different experimental settings, focusing on in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies. Most reports concern SIRT1, however recent studies dive into the effects initiated via other isoforms. Numerous cellular signaling pathways were reported to be modulated by resveratrol in a sirtuin-dependent manner (increased phosphorylation of MAPKs, AKT, AMPK, RhoA, BDNF, decreased activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, NF-κB, STAT3, upregulation of SIRT1/SREBP1c pathway, reduced β-amyloid via SIRT1-NF-κB-BACE1 signaling and counteracting mitochondrial damage by deacetylating PGC-1α). Thus, resveratrol may be the ideal candidate in the search for STACs as a tool for preventing and treating inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Biallelic pathogenic variants in subunits of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS), a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme, are associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in humans. SCS catalyzes the interconversion of succinyl-CoA to succinate, coupled to substrate-level phosphorylation of either ADP or GDP, within the TCA cycle. SCS-deficient encephalomyopathy typically presents in infancy and early childhood, with many patients succumbing to the disease during childhood. Common symptoms include abnormal brain MRI, basal ganglia lesions and cerebral atrophy, severe hypotonia, dystonia, progressive psychomotor regression, and growth deficits. Although subunits of SCS were first identified as causal genes for progressive metabolic encephalomyopathy in the early 2000s, recent investigations are now beginning to unravel the pathomechanisms underlying this metabolic disorder. This article reviews the current understanding of SCS function within and outside the TCA cycle as it relates to the complex and multifactorial mechanisms underlying SCS-related mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.

Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus prevents the loss of dopaminergic neurons by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction through targeting ATP5F1a. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 303:120470. [PMID: 36657849 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2022.120470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Fucoidan, which has emerged as a neuroprotective agent, is a marine-origin sulfated polysaccharide enriched in brown algae and sea cucumbers. However, variations in structural characteristics exist among fucoidans derived from different sources, resulting in a wide spectrum of biological effects. It is urgent to find the fucoidan with the strongest neuroprotective effect, and the mechanism needs to be further explored. We isolated and purified four different fucoidan species with different chemical structures and found that Type II fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus (FvF) significantly improved mitochondrial dysfunction, prevented neuronal apoptosis, reduced dopaminergic neuron loss, and improved motor deficits in an 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Further mechanistic investigation revealed that the ATP5F1a protein is a key target responsible for alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction of FvF to exert neuroprotective effects. This study highlights the favorable properties of FvF for neuroprotection, making FvF a promising candidate for the treatment of PD.

ASK1 inhibitor NQDI‑1 decreases oxidative stress and neuroapoptosis via the ASK1/p38 and JNK signaling pathway in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Mol Med Rep 2023; 27:47. [PMID: 36633130 PMCID: PMC9879074 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2023.12934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress and neuroapoptosis are key pathological processes after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The present study evaluated the anti‑oxidation and anti‑apoptotic neuroprotective effects of the apoptosis signal‑regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor ethyl‑2,7‑dioxo‑2,7‑dihydro‑3H‑naphtho(1,2,3‑de)quinoline‑1‑carboxylate (NQDI‑1) in early brain injury (EBI) following SAH in a rat model. A total of 191 rats were used and the SAH model was induced using monofilament perforation. Western blotting was subsequently used to detect the endogenous expression levels of proteins. Immunofluorescence was then used to confirm the nerve cellular localization of ASK1. Short‑term neurological function was assessed using the modified Garcia scores and the beam balance test 24 h after SAH, whereas long‑term neurological function was assessed using the rotarod test and the Morris water maze test. Apoptosis of neurons was assessed by TUNEL staining and oxidative stress was assessed by dihydroethidium staining 24 h after SAH. The protein expression levels of phosphorylated (p‑)ASK1 and ASK1 rose following SAH. NQDI‑1 was intracerebroventricularly injected 1 h after SAH and demonstrated significant improvements in both short and long‑term neurological function and significantly reduced oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. Injection of NQDI‑1 caused a significant decrease in protein expression levels of p‑ASK1, p‑p38, p‑JNK, 4 hydroxynonenal, and Bax and significantly increased the protein expression levels of heme oxygenase 1 and Bcl‑2. The use of the p38 inhibitor BMS‑582949 or the JNK inhibitor SP600125 led to significant decreases in the protein expression levels of p‑p38 or p‑JNK, respectively, and a significant reduction in oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis; however, these inhibitors did not demonstrate an effect on p‑ASK1 or ASK1 protein expression levels. In conclusion, treatment with NQDI‑1 improved neurological function and decreased oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis in EBI following SAH in rats, possibly via inhibition of ASK1 phosphorylation and the ASK1/p38 and JNK signaling pathway. NQDI‑1 may be considered a potential agent for the treatment of patients with SAH.

Abstract
The sirtuin system consists of seven highly conserved regulatory enzymes responsible for metabolism, antioxidant protection, and cell cycle regulation. The great interest in sirtuins is associated with the potential impact on life extension. This article summarizes the latest research on the activity of sirtuins and their role in the aging process. The effects of compounds that modulate the activity of sirtuins were discussed, and in numerous studies, their effectiveness was demonstrated. Attention was paid to the role of a caloric restriction and the risks associated with the influence of careless sirtuin modulation on the organism. It has been shown that low modulators' bioavailability/retention time is a crucial problem for optimal regulation of the studied pathways. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the modulator structure and potential reactivity with sirtuins in silico studies should precede in vitro and in vivo experiments. The latest achievements in nanobiotechnology make it possible to create promising molecules, but many of them remain in the sphere of plans and concepts. It seems that solving the mystery of longevity will have to wait for new scientific discoveries.

Abstract
Metabolism regulates cardiovascular biology through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications. Over the past two decades, experimental and preclinical studies have highlighted the critical roles of histone modifications in cardiovascular development, homeostasis, and diseases. The widely studied histone acetylation is critical in cardiovascular biology and diseases, and inhibitors of histone deacetylases show therapeutic values. In addition to lysine acetylation, a series of novel non-acetyl lysine acylations have recently been recognized. These non-acetyl lysine acylations have been demonstrated to have physiological and pathological functions, and recent studies have analyzed the roles of these non-acetyl lysine acylations in cardiovascular biology. Herein, we review the current advances in the understanding of non-acetyl lysine acylations in cardiovascular biology and discuss open questions and translational perspectives. These new pieces of evidence provide a more extensive insight into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular biology and help assess the feasibility of targeting acylations to treat cardiovascular diseases.

J Neuroinflammation 2022; 19:301. [PMID: 36517900 PMCID: PMC9753274 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-022-02665-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Microglia-induced excessive neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of multiple neurological diseases, such as ischaemic stroke. Controlling inflammatory responses is considered a promising therapeutic approach. Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) mediates lysine desuccinylation, which is involved in various critical biological processes, but its role in ischaemic stroke remains poorly understood. This research systematically explored the function and potential mechanism of SIRT5 in microglia-induced neuroinflammation in ischaemic stroke. METHODS Mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion were established as the animal model, and primary cultured microglia treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion were established as the cell model of ischaemic stroke. SIRT5 short hairpin RNA, adenovirus and adeno-associated virus techniques were employed to modulate SIRT5 expression in microglia both in vitro and in vivo. Coimmunoprecipitation, western blot and quantitative real-time PCR assays were performed to reveal the molecular mechanism. RESULTS In the current study, we showed that SIRT5 expression in microglia was increased in the early phase of ischaemic stroke. SIRT5 interacts with and desuccinylates Annexin A1 (ANXA1) at K166, which in turn decreases its SUMOylation level. Notably, the desuccinylation of ANXA1 blocks its membrane recruitment and extracellular secretion, resulting in the hyperactivation of microglia and excessive expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, ultimately leading to neuronal cell damage after ischaemic stroke. Further investigation showed that microglia-specific forced overexpression of SIRT5 worsened ischaemic brain injury, whereas downregulation of SIRT5 exhibited neuroprotective and cognitive-preserving effects against ischaemic brain injury, as proven by the decreased infarct area, reduced neurological deficit scores, and improved cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data identify SIRT5 as a novel regulator of microglia-induced neuroinflammation and neuronal damage after cerebral ischaemia. Interventions targeting SIRT5 expression may represent a potential therapeutic target for ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation and intracellular iron accumulation, has been reported to be involving in the pathophysiological of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although taurine reportedly yields neuroprotective effects in multiple central neurological diseases and can attenuated neuron damage after stroke, its role in EBI after SAH remains unclear. The present study indicated that taurine levels in cerebrospinal fluid were significantly reduced in SAH patients, which suggested that taurine treatment after SAH could improve neurological impairment, oxidative stress, iron accumulation, BBB integrity and neuronal ferroptosis in the SAH model in vivo. Taurine could attenuate MDA levels and ROS accumulation and regulate the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 and the AKT/GSK3β pathway in vitro. GABAB receptor inhibition and Ly294002 could reverse the therapeutic effects of taurine and significantly downregulate the levels of p-AKT, p-GSK3β, β-catenin, SLC7A11 and GPX4. The protective effects of taurine on SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression were reversed by ICG001 treatment in vitro. Taken together, our findings revealed that taurine could improve neurological function and alleviate cerebral edema, oxidative stress and BBB disruption after SAH, which reduced neuronal ferroptosis by regulating the GABAB/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Silent information regulators, sirtuins (SIRTs), are a family of enzymes which take part in major posttranslational modifications of proteins and contribute to multiple cellular processes, including metabolic and energetic transformations, as well as regulation of the cell cycle. Recently, SIRTs have gained increased attention as the object of research because of their multidirectional activity and possible role in the complex pathomechanisms underlying human diseases. The aim of this study was to review a current literature evidence of SIRTs' role in the physiology and pathology of the central nervous system (CNS). SIRTs have been demonstrated to be crucial players in the crosstalk between neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and metabolic alterations. The elucidation of SIRTs' role in the background of various CNS diseases offers a chance to define relevant markers of their progression and promising candidates for novel therapeutic targets. Possible diagnostic and therapeutic implications from SIRTs-related investigations are discussed, as well as their future directions and associated challenges.

Abstract
Cerebralvascular diseases are the most common high-mortality diseases worldwide. Despite its global prevalence, effective treatments and therapies need to be explored. Given that oxidative stress is an important risk factor involved with cerebral vascular diseases, natural antioxidants and its derivatives can be served as a promising therapeutic strategy. Resveratrol (3, 5, 4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural polyphenolic antioxidant found in grape skins, red wine, and berries. As a phytoalexin to protect against oxidative stress, resveratrol has therapeutic value in cerebrovascular diseases mainly by inhibiting excessive reactive oxygen species production, elevating antioxidant enzyme activity, and other antioxidant molecular mechanisms. This review aims to collect novel kinds of literature regarding the protective activities of resveratrol on cerebrovascular diseases, addressing the potential mechanisms underlying the antioxidative activities and mitochondrial protection of resveratrol. We also provide new insights into the chemistry, sources, and bioavailability of resveratrol.

Abstract
Sirtuins are an evolutionarily conserved family of regulatory proteins that function in an NAD+ -dependent manner. The mammalian family of sirtuins is composed of seven histone deacetylase and ADP-ribosyltransferase proteins (SIRT1-SIRT7) that are found throughout the different cellular compartments of the cell. Sirtuins in the brain have received considerable attention in cognition due to their role in a plethora of metabolic and age-related diseases and their ability to induce neuroprotection. More recently, sirtuins have been shown to play a role in normal physiological cognitive function, and aberrant sirtuin function is seen in pathological cellular states. Sirtuins are believed to play a role in cognition through enhancing synaptic plasticity, influencing epigenetic regulation, and playing key roles in molecular pathways involved with oxidative stress affecting mitochondrial function. This review aims to discuss recent advances in the understanding of the role of mammalian sirtuins in cognitive function and the therapeutic potential of targeting sirtuins to ameliorate cognitive deficits in neurological disorders.

Abstract
Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious neurosurgical emergency with extremely high morbidity and mortality rates. Resveratrol (RES), a natural polyphenolic phytoalexin, is broadly presented in a wide variety of plants. Previous research had reasonably revealed its neuroprotective effects on experimental SAH animal models to some extent. But the results were more controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the evidence on the effectiveness of RES in improving outcomes in SAH animal models. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases to incorporate experimental control studies on the efficacy of RES on SAH models into our research. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to compare the brain water content (BWC) and neurological score (NS) between the treatment and control groups. Results: Overall, 16 articles published from 2014 to 2022 met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis of BWC showed a significant difference in favor of RES treatment (SMD: -1.026; 95% CI: -1.380, -0.672; p = 0.000) with significant heterogeneity (Q = 84.97; I2 = 60.0%; p = 0.000). Further stratified analysis was performed for methodological differences, especially dosage, time of treatments, and time-point of outcome assessment. The meta-analysis of NS showed a significant difference in favor of RES treatment (SMD: 1.342; 95% CI: 1.089, 1.595; p = 0.000) with low heterogeneity (Q = 25.58; I2 = 17.9%; p = 0.223). Conclusion: Generally, RES treatment showed an improvement in both pathological and behavioral outcomes in SAH animal models. The results of this study may provide a reference for preclinical and clinical studies in the future to some extent, with great significance for human health.

OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:8808677. [PMID: 35761873 PMCID: PMC9233479 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8808677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The infiltration of blood components into the brain parenchyma through the lymphoid system is an important cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage injury. AQP4, a water channel protein located at the astrocyte foot, has been reported to regulate blood-brain barrier integrity, and its polarization is disrupted after SAH. Neuronal ferroptosis is involved in subarachnoid hemorrhage- (SAH-) induced brain injury, but the inducing factors are not completely clear. Transferrin is one of the inducing factors of ferroptosis. This study is aimed at researching the role and mechanism of AQP4 in brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage in mice. An experimental mouse SAH model was established by endovascular perforation. An AAV vector encoding AQP4 with a GFAP-specific promoter was administered to mice to achieve specific overexpression of AQP4 in astrocytes. PI staining, Fer-1 intervention, and transmission electron microscopy were used to detect neuronal ferroptosis, and dextran (40 kD) leakage was used to detect BBB integrity. Western blot analysis of perfused brain tissue protein samples was used to detect transferrin infiltration. First, neuronal ferroptosis 24 h after SAH was observed by PI staining and Fer-1 intervention. Second, a significant increase in transferrin infiltration was found in the brain parenchyma 24 h after SAH modeling, while transferrin content was positively correlated with neuronal ferroptosis. Then, we observed that AQP4 overexpression effectively improved AQP depolarization and BBB injury induced by SAH and significantly reduced transferrin infiltration and neuronal ferroptosis after SAH. Finally, we found that AQP4 overexpression could effectively improve the neurobehavioral ability of SAH mice, and the neurobehavioral ability was negatively correlated with transferrin brain content. Taken together, these data indicate that overexpression of AQP4 in the mouse brain can effectively improve post-SAH neuronal ferroptosis and brain injury, at least partly by inhibiting transferrin infiltration into the brain parenchyma in the glymphatic system.

Abstract
Succinate is an important intermediate product of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Recent studies revealed that beyond its known traditional metabolic functions, succinate plays important roles in signal transduction, immunity, inflammation, and posttranslational modification. Recent studies showed that patients and mouse models with cardiovascular disease have high levels of serum succinate and succinate accumulation. Atherosclerosis (As) is the pathological basis of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and peripheral vascular disease, and is a major factor affecting human health. This article reviews the progression of succinate in As diseases and its underlying mechanisms.
