Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifests with loss of neurons correlated with intercellular deposition of amyloid (amyloid plaques) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau. However, targeting AD hallmarks has not as yet led to development of an effective treatment despite numerous clinical trials. A better understanding of the early stages of neurodegeneration may lead to development of more effective treatments. One underexplored area is the clinical correlation between infection with herpesviruses and increased risk of AD. We hypothesized that similar to work performed with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1), infection with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) herpesvirus increases levels and phosphorylation of tau, similar to AD tauopathy. We used murine CMV (MCMV) to infect mouse fibroblasts and rat neuronal cells to test our hypothesis. MCMV infection increased steady-state levels of primarily high molecular weight forms of tau and altered the patterns of tau phosphorylation. Both changes required viral late gene products. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) was upregulated in the HSVI model, but inhibition with lithium chloride suggested that this enzyme is unlikely to be involved in MCMV infection mediated tau phosphorylation. Thus, we confirm that MCMV, a beta herpes virus, like alpha herpes viruses (e.g., HSV1), can promote tau pathology. This suggests that CMV infection can be useful as another model system to study mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration. Since MCMV infects both mice and rats as permissive hosts, our findings from tissue culture can likely be applied to a variety of AD models to study development of abnormal tau pathology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the widespread use of general anaesthetics, the mechanisms mediating their effects are still not understood. Although suppressed in most parts of the brain, neuronal activity, as measured by FOS activation, is increased in the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) by numerous general anaesthetics, and evidence points to this brain region being involved in the induction of general anaesthesia (GA) and natural sleep. Posttranslational modifications of proteins, including changes in phosphorylation, enable fast modulation of protein function which could be underlying the rapid effects of GA. In order to identify potential phosphorylation events in the brain-mediating GA effects, we have explored the phosphoproteome responses in the rat SON and compared these to cingulate cortex (CC) which displays no FOS activation in response to general anaesthetics. METHODS Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with isoflurane for 15 min. Proteins from the CC and SON were extracted and processed for nano-LC mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Phosphoproteomic determinations were performed by LC-MS/MS. RESULTS We found many changes in the phosphoproteomes of both the CC and SON in response to 15 min of isoflurane exposure. Pathway analysis indicated that proteins undergoing phosphorylation adaptations are involved in cytoskeleton remodelling and synaptic signalling events. Importantly, changes in protein phosphorylation appeared to be brain region specific suggesting that differential phosphorylation adaptations might underlie the different neuronal activity responses to GA between the CC and SON. CONCLUSION In summary, these data suggest that rapid posttranslational modifications in proteins involved in cytoskeleton remodelling and synaptic signalling events might mediate the central mechanisms mediating GA.

Abstract
Ischemic events are associated with severe inflammation and are here referred to as ischemic inflammatory response (IIR). Recent studies identified the formation of platelet–neutrophil complexes (PNC) as key players in IIR. We investigated the role of extracellular platelet nucleotide signaling in the context of IIR and defined a cybernetic circle, including description of feedback loops. Cybernetic circles seek to integrate different levels of information to understand how biological systems function. Our study specifies the components of the cybernetic system of platelets in IIR and describes the theoretical progression of IIR passing the cybernetic cycle with positive and negative feedback loops based on nucleotide-dependent signaling and functional regulation. The cybernetic components and feedback loops were explored by cytometry, immunohistological staining, functional blocking antibodies, and ADP/ATP measurements. Using several ex vivo and in vivo approaches we confirmed cybernetic parameters, such as controller, sensor, and effector (VASP phosphorylation, P2Y12, ADORAs and GPIIb/IIIa activity), as well as set points (ADP, adenosine) and interfering control and disturbance variables (ischemia). We demonstrate the impact of the regulated platelet–neutrophil complex (PNC) formation in blood and the resulting damage to the affected inflamed tissue. Taken together, extracellular nucleotide signaling, PNC formation, and tissue damage in IIR can be integrated in a controlled cybernetic circle of platelet function, as introduced through this study.

Abstract
The induction of anesthesia in children makes its safety one of the most important global health problems. Neuroinflammation contributes to anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity in young individuals. However, the mechanisms underlying anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity have not been established. In this study, the level of interleukin (IL)-6 in the hippocampus of mice and N2A cells treated with sevoflurane was increased, and long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) Riken was sufficient to decrease sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity, and the level of inflammatory cytokine IL-6. The RNA pull-down assay verified that miR-101a was bound to lncRNA Riken in N2A cells. In addition, miR-101a blocked the protective effect of lncRNA Riken on anesthesia-induced neuroinflammation. These data suggest that lncRNA Riken attenuated anesthesia-induced neuroinflammation by interacting with microRNA-101a. Finally, we also demonstrated that MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) was a downstream target of miR-101a, and lncRNA Riken can regulate the expression of MKP-1; the JNK signal transduction pathway has been implicated in sevoflurane-induced IL-6 secretion. Our findings demonstrated that lncRNA Riken alleviated the sevoflurane-induced neurotoxic effects, and the lncRNA Riken/miR-101a/MKP-1/JNK axis plays an important role in the cognitive disorder.

BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2020; 21:66. [PMID: 32891179 PMCID: PMC7487822 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-020-00443-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene expression profile analysis on mammalian cell lines and animal models after exposure to botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has been investigated in several studies in recent years. Microarray analysis provides a powerful tool for identifying critical signaling pathways involved in the biological and inflammatory responses to BoNT and helps determine the mechanism of the function of botulinum toxins. One of the pivotal clinical characteristics of BoNT is its prolonged on-site effects. The role of BoNT on the blockage of neurotransmitter acetylcholine release in the neuromuscular junction has been well established. However, the effects of the treatment time of BoNT on the human cellular model and its potential mechanism remain to be defined. METHODS This study aimed to use gene microarray technology to compare the two physiological critical time points of BoNT type A (BoNT/A) treatment of human neuroblastoma cells and to advance our understanding of the profound biological influences that toxin molecules play in the neuronal cellular system. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with BoNT/A for 4 and 48 h, which represent the time needed for the entrance of toxin into the cells and the time necessary for the initial appearance of the on-site effects after BoNT application, respectively. RESULTS A comparison of the two time points identified 122 functional groups that are significantly changed. The top five groups are alternative splicing, phosphoprotein, nucleus, cytoplasm, and acetylation. Furthermore, after 48 h, there were 744 genes significantly up-regulated, and 624 genes significantly down-regulated (p‹ 0.01). These genes fell into the following neurological and biological annotation groups: Nervous system development, proteinaceous extracellular matrix, signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells, cellular function and signal transduction, and apoptosis. We have also noticed that the up-regulated groups contained neuronal cell development, nervous system development, and metabolic processes. In contrast, the down-regulated groups contained many chromosomes and cell cycle categories. CONCLUSIONS The effects of BoNT/A on neuronal cells extend beyond blocking the neurotransmitter release, and that BoNT/A is a multifunctional molecule that can evoke profound cellular responses which warrant a more in-depth understanding of the mechanism of the toxin's effects after administration.

Effect of Polydeoxyribonucleotide on Lipopolysaccharide and Sevoflurane-Induced Postoperative Cognitive dysfunction in Human Neuronal SH-SY5Y Cells. Int Neurourol J 2019; 23:S93-101. [PMID: 31795608 PMCID: PMC6905212 DOI: 10.5213/inj.1938218.109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a complication of surgery characterized by acute cognitive dysfunction, memory impairment, and loss of attention. The effect of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on the POCD environment induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and sevoflurane exposure were investigated in human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. Methods The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and WST-8 assays were performed to determine cell viability. Cyclic adenosine-3,5′-monophosphate (cAMP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Immunocytochemistry was performed for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and western blotting for TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Results Induction of the POCD environment reduced cell viability in the MTT and WST-8 assays. PDRN treatment reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expression in POCD conditions, and significantly increased cAMP concentrations and the p-CREB/CREB ratio. PDRN treatment activated adenosine A2A receptors and then increased the expression of VEGF and BDNF, which had been reduced by LPS and sevoflurane exposure. Conclusions PDRN treatment showed a therapeutic effect on the LPS and sevoflurane-induced POCD environment. PDRN was shown to have an excellent therapeutic effect on POCD, not only by promoting rapid anti-inflammatory effects in damaged cells, but also by enhancing the expression of BDNF and VEGF.

Am J Transl Res 2017; 9:1344-1356.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo and in vitro effects of miR-665 on sevoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive dysfunction. SH-SY5Y cells and male SD rats were treated with sevoflurane to simulate anesthesia-induced cognitive dysfunction. The cells and rats both were transfected with a miR-665 mimic, inhibitor, scramble, IGF-2 siRNA, or treated with P13K/Akt inhibitor LY294002. The cell apoptosis, autophagy, growth related proteins, and mRNA levels were measured using different methods. The motor performance was assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. Finally, the differences were statistically analyzed. It was noted that sevoflurane-induced miR-665 downregulation accompanied with the upregulation of IGF-2 in vivo and motor deficits in vitro. Moreover, sevoflurane also induced hippocampal neuroapoptosis; reduced regular autophagy; increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio; decreased the expression of Beclin 1, PSD95, and p-CREB; and activated P13K/Akt signaling pathway. However, the treatment by miR-665 mimics significantly reversed all the molecular changes and improved motor performance. Our data demonstrate the neuroprotective effect of miR-665 against sevoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment. This study suggests that miR-665 might be explored as a potential target of therapy for sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment.
