Abstract
Introduction Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent, chronic and progressive retinal degenerative disease characterized by an inflammatory response mediated by activated microglia accumulating in the retina. In this study, we demonstrate the therapeutically effects and the underlying mechanisms of microglial repopulation in the laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model of exudative AMD. Methods The CSF1R inhibitor PLX3397 was used to establish a treatment paradigm for microglial repopulation in the retina. Neovascular leakage and neovascular area were examined by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and immunostaining of whole-mount RPE-choroid-sclera complexes in CNV mice receiving PLX3397. Altered cellular senescence was measured by beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity and p16INK4a expression. The effect and mechanisms of repopulated microglia on leukocyte infiltration and the inflammatory response in CNV lesions were analyzed. Results We showed that ten days of the CSF1R inhibitor PLX3397 treatment followed by 11 days of drug withdrawal was sufficient to stimulate rapid repopulation of the retina with new microglia. Microglial repopulation attenuated pathological choroid neovascularization and dampened cellular senescence in CNV lesions. Repopulating microglia exhibited lower levels of activation markers, enhanced phagocytic function and produced fewer cytokines involved in the immune response, thereby ameliorating leukocyte infiltration and attenuating the inflammatory response in CNV lesions. Discussion The microglial repopulation described herein are therefore a promising strategy for restricting inflammation and choroidal neovascularization, which are important players in the pathophysiology of AMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that the immunosuppressive effects associated with antibiotics, sedatives, and catecholamines amplify sepsis-associated immune suppression through mitochondrial dysfunction, and there is a cumulative effect when used in combination. We thus sought to determine the impact of the exemplar drugs ciprofloxacin, propofol, and norepinephrine, used alone and in combination, at clinically relevant concentrations, on the ex vivo functionality of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) drawn from healthy, infected, and septic individuals. DESIGN In vitro/ex vivo investigation. SETTING University laboratory. SUBJECTS Healthy volunteers, infected (nonseptic) patients in the emergency department, and septic ICU patients. INTERVENTIONS PBMCs were isolated from these subjects and treated with ciprofloxacin (100 µg/mL), propofol (50 µg/mL), norepinephrine (10 µg/mL), or all three drugs combined, with and without lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/mL) for 6 or 24 hours. Comparison was made between study groups and against untreated cells. Measurements were made of cell viability, cytokine production, phagocytosis, human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) status, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, and oxygen consumption. Gene expression in immune and metabolic pathways was investigated in PBMCs sampled from healthy volunteers coincubated with septic serum. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Coincubation with each of the drugs reduced cytokine production and phagocytosis in PBMCs isolated from septic patients, and healthy volunteers coincubated with septic serum. No effect was seen on HLA-DR surface expression. No cumulative effects were seen with the drug combination. Sepsis-induced changes in gene expression and mitochondrial functionality were not further affected by addition of any of the drugs. CONCLUSION Drugs commonly used in critical care lead to significant immune dysfunction ex vivo and enhance sepsis-associated immunosuppression. Further studies are required to identify underlying mechanisms and potential impact on patient outcomes.

Abstract
Mitochondrial viscosity is a critical factor affecting numerous physiological processes, including phagocytosis. Abnormal viscosity in mitochondria is related to some pathological activities and diseases. Evaluating and detecting the changes in mitochondrial viscosity in vivo is crucial. Thus, a mitochondria-targeted red-emitting fluorescent probe (VP) was prepared, and can be used to detect viscosity with high selectivity and sensitivity. The synthesis of probe VP was as simple as two steps and the cost was low. In addition, the fluorescence intensity (log I615) exhibited an excellent relationship with viscosity (log η) in the range of 0.5 - 2.5 (R2 = 0.9985) in water/glycerol mixture. It is noteworthy that the probe VP displayed the highest signal-to-noise ratio (about 50-fold) for viscosity in water and glycerol system. The probe VP can visualize the mitochondrial viscosity change in living cells. More importantly, phagocytic test for BV2 cells further demonstrated that phagocytosis decreased with increased viscosity. Furthermore, VP was successfully used for monitoring the mitophagy process induced by starvation, and mitochondrial viscosity exhibited enhancement during mitophagy. The probe was a potential tool for studying viscosity and phagocytosis.

Abstract
Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and death globally. Currently, there is a significant concern about the therapeutic strategies that can offer reliable and cost-effective treatment for neurological diseases. Propofol is a widely used general intravenous anesthetic in the clinic. Emerging studies demonstrate that propofol exerts neuroprotective effects on neurological diseases and disorders, while its underlying pathogenic mechanism is not well understood. Autophagy, an important process of cell turnover in eukaryotes, has been suggested to involve in the neuroprotective properties developed by propofol. In this narrative review, we summarized the current evidence on the roles of autophagy in propofol-associated neurological diseases. This study highlighted the effect of propofol on the nervous system and the crucial roles of autophagy. According to the 21 included studies, we found that propofol was a double-edged sword for neurological disorders. Several eligible studies reported that propofol caused neuronal cell damage by regulating autophagy, leading to cognitive dysfunction and other neurological diseases, especially high concentration and dose of propofol. However, some of them have shown that in the model of existing nervous system diseases (e.g., cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, electroconvulsive therapy injury, cobalt chloride-induced injury, TNF-α-induced injury, and sleep deprivation-induced injury), propofol might play a neuroprotective role by regulating autophagy, thus improving the degree of nerve damage. Autophagy plays a pivotal role in the neurological system by regulating oxidative stress, inflammatory response, calcium release, and other mechanisms, which may be associated with the interaction of a variety of related proteins and signal cascades. With extensive in-depth research in the future, the autophagic mechanism mediated by propofol will be fully understood, which may facilitate the feasibility of propofol in the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders.

Abstract
Depression is a serious mood disorder characterized by monoamines deficiency, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and cell death. Niacin (vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, NA), a chief mediator of neuronal development and survival in the central nervous system, exerts neuroprotective effects in several experimental models. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the effect of NA in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mouse model of depression exploring its ability to regulate sirtuin1/poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)/nod-likereceptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling. MAIN METHODS Mice were injected with LPS (500 µg/kg, i.p) every other day alone or concurrently with oral doses of either NA (40 mg/kg/day) or escitalopram (10 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. KEY FINDINGS Administration of NA resulted in significant attenuation of animals' despair reflected by decreased immobility time in forced swimming test. Moreover, NA induced monoamines upsurge in addition to sirtuin1 activation with subsequent down regulation of PARP-1 in the hippocampus. Further, it diminished nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) levels and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome with consequent reduction of caspase-1, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, thus mitigating LPS-induced neuroinflammation. NA also reduced tumor suppressor protein (p53) while elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. LPS-induced decline in neuronal survival was reversed by NA administration with an obvious increase in the number of intact cells recorded in the histopathological micrographs. SIGNIFICANCE Accordingly, NA is deemed as a prosperous candidate for depression management via targeting SIRT1/PARP-1 pathway.

Abstract
There is much excitement surrounding recent research of promising, mechanistically novel psychotherapeutics - psychedelic, anesthetic, and dissociative agents - as they have demonstrated surprising efficacy in treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as mood disorders and addiction. However, the mechanisms by which these drugs provide such profound psychological benefits are still to be fully elucidated. Microglia, the CNS's resident innate immune cells, are emerging as a cellular target for psychiatric disorders because of their critical role in regulating neuroplasticity and the inflammatory environment of the brain. The following paper is a review of recent literature surrounding these neuropharmacological therapies and their demonstrated or hypothesized interactions with microglia. Through investigating the mechanism of action of psychedelics, such as psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide, ketamine, and propofol, we demonstrate a largely under-investigated role for microglia in much of the emerging research surrounding these pharmacological agents. Among others, we detail sigma-1 receptors, serotonergic and γ-aminobutyric acid signalling, and tryptophan metabolism as pathways through which these agents modulate microglial phagocytic activity and inflammatory mediator release, inducing their therapeutic effects. The current review includes a discussion on future directions in the field of microglial pharmacology and covers bidirectional implications of microglia and these novel pharmacological agents in aging and age-related disease, glial cell heterogeneity, and state-of-the-art methodologies in microglial research.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia, affecting the increasingly aging population. Growing evidence indicates that neuro-inflammation plays crucial roles, e.g., the association between AD risk genes with innate immune functions. In this study, we demonstrate that moderate concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokine S100A9 regulate immune response of BV2 microglial cells, i.e., the phagocytic capacity, reflected by elevated number of 1 μm diameter Dsred-stained latex beads in the cytoplasm. In contrast, at high S100A9 concentrations, both the viability and phagocytic capacity of BV2 cells drop substantially. Furthermore, it is uncovered that S100A9 affects phagocytosis of microglia via NF-κB signaling pathways. Application of related target-specific drugs, i.e., IKK and TLR4 inhibitors, effectively suppresses BV2 cells' immune responses. These results suggest that pro-inflammatory S100A9 activates microglial phagocytosis, and possibly contributes to the clearance of amyloidogenic species at the early stage of AD.

Abstract
Microglial phenotype changes in the aged brain, and also in neurodegenerative diseases, and it is generally accepted that these changes at least contribute to the inflammation that can have detrimental effects on brain health. Accumulating data have determined that there are multiple microglial activation states with consistent findings indicating that with stressors including age, a switch towards an inflammatory phenotype occurs. Among the changes that accompany this is a change in metabolism, whereby glycolysis is increased in microglia. Here, we asked whether sex impacted on the response of microglia to two stressors, interferon-γ + amyloid-β (IFNγ + Aβ) and age. The data show that IFNγ + Aβ triggered cells from female mice to adopt a glycolytic phenotype. Metabolism was also altered with age; microglia from aged male mice responded by increasing oxidative phosphorylation, and microglial motility was preserved, contrasting with microglia from female mice where motility was compromised. We conclude that sex is a significant variable in the responses of microglia to stressors.

Abstract
An increasing number of experimental and clinical observation suggest that the use of anaesthetics is closely associated with postoperative central nervous system (CNS) complications, such as delirium and cognitive dysfunction. Brain energy rescue is an emerging therapeutic strategy for central nervous system disease (CNSDs). However, the effect of anaesthetics on nerve cell energy utilisation, especially microglia, and its potential effects on cell function still unclear. Elucidating the effects of anaesthetics on lipid droplets, which are specific lipid storage organs, and phagocytosis of microglia is crucial to discover a new therapeutic concept for postoperative CNS complications. Here, we studied the effects of the commonly used anaesthetic midazolam on lipid droplets and phagocytosis in immortalised microglial BV2 cells. Lipid droplets were assessed by flow cytometry and triglyceride quantification. The phagocytosis of BV2 cells was evaluated by detecting their phagocytosis by latex beads. Additionally, the autophagy of BV2 cells was evaluated by western blot and observation under microscopy. Our results showed that midazolam caused lipid droplet accumulation and reduced phagocytosis in BV2 cells, and inhibition of lipid droplet accumulation partially restored phagocytosis. Furthermore, midazolam blocks autophagic degradation by increasing phosphorylated TFEB in BV2 cells, inhibition of midazolam-increased phosphorylated TFEB might contribute to the improvement of autophagic flux by rapamycin. Moreover, promoting autophagy reverse the lipid droplet accumulation and phagocytosis decrease. This study suggests autophagy is a target for attenuating lipid droplet accumulation, normal degradation of lipid droplets is important for maintaining microglia phagocytosis and attenuating the side effects of midazolam on the CNS.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation causes significant memory impairment in healthy adults. Extensive research has focused on identifying the biological mechanisms underlying memory impairment. Microglia-mediated synaptic elimination plays an indispensable role in sleep deprivation. Here, the potential role of the CD33/TREM2 signaling pathway in modulating memory decline during chronic sleep restriction (CSR) was evaluated. In this study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were sleep-restricted using an automated sleep deprivation apparatus for 20 h per day for 7 days. The Y-maze test revealed that spontaneous alternation was significantly reduced in CSR mice compared with control mice. The percentage of exploratory preference for the novel object in CSR mice was significantly decreased compared with that in control mice. These memory deficits correlated with aberrant microglial activation and increased phagocytic ability. Moreover, in CSR mice, the CD33 protein level in hippocampal tissue was significantly downregulated, but the TREM2 protein level was increased. In BV2 microglial cells, downregulation of CD33 increased TREM2 expression and improved microglial phagocytosis. Then, the sialic ligand monosialo-ganglioside 1 (GM1, 20 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered to mice once a day during CSR. Our results further showed that GM1 activated CD33 and consequently disturbed TREM2-mediated microglial phagocytosis. Finally, GM1 reversed CSR-induced synaptic loss and memory impairment via the CD33/TREM2 signaling pathway in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. This study provides novel evidence that activating CD33 and/or inhibiting TREM2 activity represent potential therapies for sleep loss-induced memory deficits through the modulation of microglial phagocytosis.

FEBS J 2022; 289:7760-7775. [PMID: 34510775 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
c-Src was the first protein kinase to be described as capable of phosphorylating tyrosine residues. Subsequent identification of other tyrosine-phosphorylating protein kinases with a similar structure to c-Src gave rise to the concept of Src family kinases (SFKs). Microglia are the resident innate immune cell population of the CNS. Under physiological conditions, microglia actively participate in brain tissue homeostasis, continuously patrolling the neuronal parenchyma and exerting neuroprotective actions. Activation of pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) receptors induces microglial proliferation, migration toward pathological foci, phagocytosis, and changes in gene expression, concurrent with the secretion of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. A significant body of literature shows that SFK stimulation positively associates with microglial activation and neuropathological conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Here, we review essential microglial homeostatic functions regulated by SFKs, including phagocytosis, environmental sensing, and secretion of inflammatory mediators. In addition, we discuss the potential of SFK modulation for microglial homeostasis in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

Abstract
Macrophages work with monocytes and dendritic cells to form a monocyte immune system, which constitutes a powerful cornerstone of the immune system with their powerful antigen presentation and phagocytosis. Macrophages play an essential role in infection, inflammation, tumors and other pathological conditions, but these cells also have non-immune functions, such as regulating lipid metabolism and maintaining homeostasis. Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic in the clinic. Propofol has sedative, hypnotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation effects, and it participates in the body’s immunity. The regulation of propofol on immune cells, especially macrophages, has a profound effect on the occurrence and development of human diseases. We summarized the effects of propofol on macrophage migration, recruitment, differentiation, polarization, and pyroptosis, and the regulation of these propofol-regulated macrophage functions in inflammation, infection, tumor, and organ reperfusion injury. The influence of propofol on pathology and prognosis via macrophage regulation is also discussed. A better understanding of the effects of propofol on macrophage activation and function in human diseases will provide a new strategy for the application of clinical narcotic drugs and the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central nervous system damage is an essential clinical feature that occurs in the early or late stages of syphilis infection. The abnormal enhancement of microglial phagocytosis can cause damage to the nervous system. However, the contribution of abnormally enhanced microglial phagocytosis to the pathogenesis of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum) infection remains unknown. OBJECTIVES In this study, we sought to determine the role of recombinant T. pallidum Tp47 in promoting microglia phagocytosis and its associated mechanisms. METHODS Microglial HMC3 cells were used to investigate the effect of the Tp47 on phagocytosis and the roles of autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress in Tp47-induced phagocytosis. RESULTS HMC3 cells exhibited obvious phagocytosis when stimulated with Tp47. The levels of P62 degradation, Beclin1 expression and the LC3II/LC3I ratio were significantly elevated, and the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes was promoted in Tp47-stimulated HMC3 cells. Treatment with the autophagy inhibitors 3-MA and Baf A1 inhibited Tp47-induced phagocytosis. Meanwhile, the endoplasmic reticulum stress markers PERK, IRE1α, GRP78, ATF4 and XBP1s were upregulated in Tp47-stimulated HMC3 cells. In addition, we found that TUDCA could inhibit Tp47-induced expression of IRE1α but not PERK or ATF4. 4-PBA inhibited TP47-induced PERK and ATF4 protein expression but did not inhibit IRE1α expression. Attenuation of endoplasmic reticulum stress by administration of TUDCA and 4-PBA abrogated Tp47-mediated autophagy. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that Tp47 activated autophagy through two key pathways associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, PERK/ATF4 and IRE1/XBP1, to promote phagocytosis in HMC3 cells. These findings provided a basis for the understanding of the pathophysiology of neurological disorders that occur during the course of syphilis.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of sedation and analgesia with dexmedetomidine and
other drugs on the stress response in patients with cerebral hemorrhage
after craniotomy hematoma removal and bone flap decompression and insertion
of an indwelling endotracheal catheter. Methods A total of 180 patients with cerebral hemorrhage with consciousness
disturbance who underwent emergency surgery were included in this study.
They were divided into six groups treated with propofol, dexmedetomidine,
lidocaine, sufentanil, dezocine, and remifentanil, respectively. Intravenous
medication was given after recovery of spontaneous respiration, and stress
responses were compared among the group. Results Serum concentrations of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and cortisol and
systolic blood pressure were significantly correlated with drug treatment.
Serum norepinephrine concentrations differed significantly among the groups,
except between the sufentanil and propofol groups. There were significant
differences in serum epinephrine concentrations among all groups, and
significant differences in serum cortisol concentrations among all groups,
except the propofol, dexmedetomidine, and lidocaine groups. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can reduce the stress response in patients with intracerebral
hemorrhage undergoing emergency craniotomy and bone flap decompression, and
can reduce adverse events from an indwelling endotracheal catheter 3 hours
post-operation.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an aging-associated oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by a decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and function. Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a secreted matrix glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in regulating tissue homeostasis and protecting against skeletal muscle injury. To explore the molecular mechanism of MFG-E8 in ameliorating the rotenone (Rot)-induced L6 skeletal muscle cell oxidative stress injury, differential proteomics of inner L6 cells was conducted. Tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling combined with mass spectrometry (MS) was performed to find associations among control, Rot and Rot + MFG-E8 groups. Over 3248 proteins were identified in the L6 cells. A total of 639 significantly differential proteins were identified, including 294 up-regulated proteins (>1.2 fold) and 345 down-regulated proteins (<0.83 fold) after the exogenous intervention of MFG-E8. Based on the analysis of Gene Ontology (GO), STRING and KEGG databases, MFG-E8 relieves oxidative stress induced-L6 cell damage by regulating the expression of these differential proteins mainly via carbon metabolism, glutathione metabolism and mitochondria-mediated metabolic pathways, e.g. carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism. Furthermore, to verify the protective effect of MFG-E8 on oxidative stress injured L6 cells, the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) contents and the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were detected.
