Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a neurodevelopmental-associated disorder strongly related to environmental factors, such as hypoxia. Because there is no cure for SZ or any pharmacological approach that could revert hypoxia-induced cellular damages, we evaluated whether modulators of sirtuins could abrogate hypoxia-induced mitochondrial deregulation as a neuroprotective strategy. Firstly, astrocytes from control (Wistar) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR), a model of both SZ and neonatal hypoxia, were submitted to chemical hypoxia. Then, cells were exposed to different concentrations of Nicotinamide (NAM), Resveratrol (Resv), and Sirtinol (Sir) for 48hrs. Our data indicate that sirtuins modulation reduces cell death increasing the acetylation of histone 3. This outcome is related to the rescue of loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, changes in mitochondrial calcium buffering capacity, decreased O2-• levels and increased expression of metabolic regulators (Nrf-1 and Nfe2l2) and mitochondrial content. Such findings are relevant not only for hypoxia-associated conditions, named pre-eclampsia but also for SZ since prenatal hypoxia is a relevant environmental factor related to this burdensome neuropsychiatric disorder.

Abstract
Background: Emerging evidence indicates that sleep disorders are the common non-cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and they may contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease. Objective: In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) on AD-related pathologies with a focus on tau phosphorylation and the underlying DNA methylation regulation. Methods: AβPPswe/PS1ΔE9 AD mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to a two-month CSD followed by electroencephalography and electromyography recording. The mice were examined for learning and memory evaluation, then pathological, biochemical, and epigenetic assessments including western blotting, immunofluorescence, dot blotting, and bisulfite sequencing. Results: The results show that CSD caused sleep disorders shown as sleep pattern change, poor sleep maintenance, and increased sleep fragmentation. CSD increased tau phosphorylation at different sites and increased the level of tau kinases in AD and WT mice. The increased expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) may result from decreased DNA methylation of CpG sites in the promoter region of CDK5 gene, which might be associated with the downregulation of DNA methyltransferase 3A and 3B. Conclusion: CSD altered AD-related tau phosphorylation through epigenetic modification of tau kinase gene. The findings in this study may give insights into the mechanisms underlying the effects of sleep disorders on AD pathology and provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
The absolute reliance of the mammalian brain on oxygen to generate ATP renders it acutely vulnerable to hypoxia, whether at high altitude or in clinical settings of anemia or pulmonary disease. Hypoxia is pivotal to the pathogeneses of myriad neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Conversely, reduced environmental oxygen, e.g. sojourns or residing at high altitudes, may impart favorable effects on aging and mortality. Moreover, controlled hypoxia exposure may represent a treatment strategy for age-related neurological disorders. This review discusses evidence of hypoxia's beneficial vs. detrimental impacts on the aging brain and the molecular mechanisms that mediate these divergent effects. It draws upon an extensive literature search on the effects of hypoxia/altitude on brain aging, and detailed analysis of all identified studies directly comparing brain responses to hypoxia in young vs. aged humans or rodents. Special attention is directed toward the risks vs. benefits of hypoxia exposure to the elderly, and potential therapeutic applications of hypoxia for neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, important questions for future research are discussed.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration is one of several etiologies underlying neurodegenerative disease. In the present study, we investigated the functional role of histone methyltransferase G9a in oxidative stress-induced degeneration in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Cell viability significantly decreased on H2O2 treatment; however, treatment with the G9a inhibitor BIX01294 partially attenuated this effect. The expression of neuron-specific genes also decreased in H2O2- treated cells; however, it recovered on G9a inhibition. H2O2-treated cells showed high levels of H3K9me2 (histone H3 demethylated at the lysine 9 residue), which is produced by G9a activation; BIX01294 treatment reduced aberrant activation of G9a. H3K9me2 occupancy of the RE-1 site in neuron-specific genes was significantly increased in H2O2-treated cells, whereas it was decreased in BIX01294-treated cells. The differentiation of H2O2-treated cells also recovered on G9a inhibition by BIX01294. Consistent results were observed when used another G9a inhibitor UCN0321. These results demonstrate that oxidative stress induces aberrant activation of G9a, which disturbs the expression of neuron-specific genes and progressively mediates neuronal cell death. Moreover, a G9a inhibitor can lessen aberrant G9a activity and prevent neuronal damage. G9a inhibition may therefore contribute to the prevention of oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Cockayne Syndrome (CS) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative premature aging disorder associated with defects in nucleotide excision repair (NER). Cells from CS patients, with mutations in CSA or CSB genes, present elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and are defective in the repair of a variety of oxidatively generated DNA lesions. In this study, six purine lesions were ascertained in wild type (wt) CSA, defective CSA, wtCSB and defective CSB-transformed fibroblasts under different oxygen tensions (hyperoxic 21%, physioxic 5% and hypoxic 1%). In particular, the four 5′,8-cyclopurine (cPu) and the two 8-oxo-purine (8-oxo-Pu) lesions were accurately quantified by LC-MS/MS analysis using isotopomeric internal standards after an enzymatic digestion procedure. cPu levels were found comparable to 8-oxo-Pu in all cases (3–6 lesions/106 nucleotides), slightly increasing on going from hyperoxia to physioxia to hypoxia. Moreover, higher levels of four cPu were observed under hypoxia in both CSA and CSB-defective cells as compared to normal counterparts, along with a significant enhancement of 8-oxo-Pu. These findings revealed that exposure to different oxygen tensions induced oxidative DNA damage in CS cells, repairable by NER or base excision repair (BER) pathways. In NER-defective CS patients, these results support the hypothesis that the clinical neurological features might be connected to the accumulation of cPu. Moreover, the elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria in CS cells is associated with a reduction in the oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are evidences showing the relation between chronic hypoxia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a metabolic neurodegenerative disease. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of chronic hypoxia on factors which characterized in AD to introduce a new model of AD-dementia. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-four male rats were randomly divided in three groups: Control group (Co), Sham group (Sh), Hypoxia induction group (Hx, exposed to hypoxic chamber [oxygen 8% and nitrogen 92%] for 30 days, 4 h/day). Spatial learning and memory were analyzed using the Morris water maze task. At day 30 after hypoxia period, animals were sacrificed and serum was gathered for pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor) measurements and brains were used for molecular and histopathological investigations. RESULTS According to behavioral studies, a significant impairment was seen in Hx group (P < 0.05). TNF-α and IL-1β showed a significant enhanced in Hx group comparing with Co group and Sh group (P < 0.05). As well, the gene expression of seladin-1, Tuj1 and the number of seladin-1+, Tuj1+neurons significantly decreased and also the mean number of dark neurons significantly increased in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a new model of AD was developed which showed the underlying mechanisms of AD and its relations with chronic hypoxia. Hypoxia for 30 days decreased seladin-1, Tuj1 expression, increased the number of dark neurons, and also induced memory impairment. These results indicated that chronic hypoxia mediated the dementia underlying AD and AD-related pathogenesis in rat.

Increase in HDAC9 suppresses myoblast differentiation via epigenetic regulation of autophagy in hypoxia. Cell Death Dis 2019; 10:552.

Abstract
Extremely reduced oxygen (O2) levels are detrimental to myogenic differentiation and multinucleated myotube formation, and chronic exposure to high-altitude hypoxia has been reported to be an important factor in skeletal muscle atrophy. However, how chronic hypoxia causes muscle dysfunction remains unknown. In the present study, we found that severe hypoxia (1% O2) significantly inhibited the function of C2C12 cells (from a myoblast cell line). Importantly, the impairment was continuously manifested even during culture under normoxic conditions for several passages. Mechanistically, we revealed that histone deacetylases 9 (HDAC9), a member of the histone deacetylase family, was significantly increased in C2C12 cells under hypoxic conditions, thereby inhibiting intracellular autophagy levels by directly binding to the promoter regions of Atg7, Beclin1, and LC3. This phenomenon resulted in the sequential dephosphorylation of GSK3β and inactivation of the canonical Wnt pathway, impairing the function of the C2C12 cells. Taken together, our results suggest that hypoxia-induced myoblast dysfunction is due to aberrant epigenetic regulation of autophagy, and our experimental evidence reveals the possible molecular pathogenesis responsible for some muscle diseases caused by chronic hypoxia and suggests a potential therapeutic option.

Abstract
Chronic hypoxia is considered as one of the important environmental factors contributing to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many chronic hypoxia-causing comorbidities, such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have been reported to be closely associated with AD. Increasing evidence has documented that chronic hypoxia may affect many pathological aspects of AD including amyloid β (Aβ) metabolism, tau phosphorylation, autophagy, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction, which may collectively result in neurodegeneration in the brain. In this Review, we briefly summarize the effects of chronic hypoxia on AD pathogenesis and discuss the underlying mechanisms. Since chronic hypoxia is common in the elderly and may contribute to the pathogenesis of AD, prospective prevention and treatment targeting hypoxia may be helpful to delay or alleviate AD.

Abstract
AIMS Recently, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are considered a possible therapeutic strategy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, HDACi treatments exhibit diverse functions with unfavorable effects in AD. Thus, the development of selective HDACi without side effects is urgently needed. METHODS HDACi, namely, BML210, MGCD0103, PXD101, and Droxinostat, were screened in mouse hippocampal primary cultures incubated with oligomeric Aβ25-35 (50 μmol/L). MGCD0103 was chosen for in vivo tests and was intraperitoneally injected into C57BL/6J mice (0.5 mg/kg, once per day) for 4 weeks following an intrahippocampal CA1 injection of oligomeric Aβ25-35 . Brain samples were collected for pathological analyses after the behavioral analyses including open- field test (OFT), elevated plus maze (EPM), Y-maze, and Morris water maze (MWM). RESULTS Among the HDACi, MGCD0103 exhibited significant neuroprotection against the Aβ toxicity in primary cultures. MGCD0103 coattenuated cognitive deficits and anxiety against Aβ damage in mice. MGCD0103 further ameliorated pathological features such as the levels of acetylated histone 3 at Lys 9 site (H3K9) and α-tubulin, synaptophysin, Aβ, tau protein phosphorylation, and serotonergic neuron loss against Aβ toxicity. Furthermore, chronic MGCD0103 treatment did not show liver or kidney toxicity in mice. CONCLUSIONS These results reveal MGCD0103 could be a potential therapeutic agent against AD.

Abstract
Background: Ischemia, white matter injury, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathologies often co-exist in aging brain. How one condition predisposes to, interacts with, or perhaps causes the others remains unclear. Objectives: To better understand the link between ischemia, white matter injury, and AD, adult rats were administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to serve as an inflammatory stimulus, and 24 h later subjected to 20-min focal cerebral ischemia (IS) followed by 30-min hypoxia (H). Methods: Myelin and axonal damage, as well as amyloid-β (Aβ) and amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) deposition were examined by Western blot and immunocytochemistry following LPS/IS/H. Findings were compared to the 5XFAD mouse AD brain. Results: Myelin/axonal injury was observed bilaterally in cortex following LPS/IS/H, along with an increase in IL-1, granzyme B, and LPS. AβPP deposition was present in ischemic striatum in regions of myelin loss. Aβ1-42 and AβPP were deposited in small foci in ischemic cortex that co-localized with myelin aggregates. In the 5XFAD mouse AD model, cortical amyloid plaques also co-localized with myelin aggregates. Conclusions: LPS/IS/H produce myelin injury and plaque-like aggregates of myelin. AβPP and Aβ co-localize with these myelin aggregates.
