Abstract
The greatest challenges that organisms face today are effective responses or detection of life-threatening environmental changes due to an obvious semblance of stress and metabolic fluctuations. These are associated with different pathological conditions among which cancer is most important. Sirtuins (SIRTs; NAD+-dependent enzymes) are versatile enzymes with diverse substrate preferences, cellular locations, crucial for cellular processes and pathological conditions. This article describes in detail the distinct roles of SIRT isoforms, unveiling their potential as either cancer promoters or suppressors and also explores how both natural and synthetic compounds influence the SIRT function, indicating promise for therapeutic applications. We also discussed the inhibitors/activators tailored to specific SIRTs, holding potential for diseases lacking effective treatments. It may uncover the lesser-studied SIRT isoforms (e.g., SIRT6, SIRT7) and their unique functions. This article also offers a comprehensive overview of SIRTs, linking them to a spectrum of diseases and highlighting their potential for targeted therapies, combination approaches, disease management, and personalized medicine. We aim to contribute to a transformative era in healthcare and innovative treatments by unraveling the intricate functions of SIRTs.

Abstract
The silencing regulatory factor 2-like protein 3 (SIRT3) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent deacetylase located primarily in the mitochondria. This protein plays an important role in oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and autophagy in multicellular organisms. Autophagy (macroautophagy) is primarily a cytoprotective mechanism necessary for intracellular homeostasis and the synthesis, degradation, and recycling of cellular products. Autophagy can influence the progression of several neural, cardiac, hepatic, and renal diseases and can also contribute to the development of fibrosis, diabetes, and many types of cancer. Recent studies have shown that SIRT3 has an important role in regulating autophagy. Therefore in this study, we aimed to perform a literature review to summarize the role of SIRT3 in the regulation of cellular autophagy. The findings of this study could be used to identify new drug targets for SIRT3-related diseases. Methods: A comprehensive literature review of the mechanism involved behind SIRT3 and autophagy-related diseases was performed. Relevant literature published in Pubmed and Web of Science up to July 2023 was identified using the keywords "silencing regulatory factor 2-like protein 3", "SIRT3" and "autophagy".

Abstract
BACKGROUND A substantial body of evidence is drawing connections between Parkinson's disease (PD) and the phenomena of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Polyphyllin VI (PPVI), an active compound found in Rhizoma Paridis-commonly known as Chonglou (CL) in China, has been identified for its various pharmacological properties, including anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects. OBJECTIVE In the present study, an in vitro model of PD was established by treating SH-SY5Y cells with rotenone (ROT), to evaluate the potential neuroprotective effects of polyphyllin VI and its underlying mechanism. METHODS SH-SY5Y cells were treated with ROT to establish an in vitro model of PD. The effects of polyphyllin VI on cell viability were assessed using the resazurin assay. Cell morphology was examined using a microscope. The YO-PRO-1/PI was used to detect apoptosis. Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos, Mito-Tracker Green, and JC-1 were used to detect the effects of polyphyllin Ⅵ on mitochondrial viability, morphology, and function. Oxidative stress-related marker detection kits were used to identify the effects of polyphyllin VI on oxidative stress. Western blot analysis was employed to investigate the signaling pathways associated with neuroprotection. RESULTS PPVI increased ROT-induced SH-SY5Y cell viability and improved ROT-induced cellular morphological changes. PPVI ameliorated ROT-induced oxidative stress status, and attenuated mitochondrial function and morphological changes. PPVI may exert neuroprotective effects through FOXO3α/CREB1/DJ-1-related signaling pathways. CONCLUSION These preliminary findings suggested that PPVI possesses neuroprotective attributes in vitro, and it may be a potential candidate for PD treatment. However, extensive research is necessary to fully understand the mechanisms of PPVI and its effectiveness both in vitro and in vivo.

Sirt3 Protects Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells From High Glucose-Induced Injury by Promoting Mitophagy Through the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 Pathway. Transl Vis Sci Technol 2024; 13:19. [PMID: 38517447 PMCID: PMC10981157 DOI: 10.1167/tvst.13.3.19] [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: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The regulation of mitophagy by Sirt3 has rarely been studied in ocular diseases. In the present study, we determined the effects of Sirt3 on AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway-mediated mitophagy in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in a high glucose environment. Methods The mRNA expression levels of Sirt3, AMPK, mTOR, ULK1, and LC3B in RPE cells under varying glucose conditions were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expressions of Sirt3, mitophagy protein, and AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Lentivirus (LV) transfection mediated the stable overexpression of Sirt3 in cell lines. The experimental groups were NG (5.5 mM glucose), hypertonic, HG (30 mM glucose), HG + LV-GFP, and HG + LV-Sirt3. Western blotting was performed to detect the expressions of mitophagy proteins and AMPK/mTOR/ULK1-related proteins in a high glucose environment during the overexpression of Sirt3. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in a high glucose environment was measured by DCFH-DA staining. Mitophagy was detected by labeling mitochondria and lysosomes with MitoTracker and LysoTracker probes, respectively. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results Sirt3 expression was reduced in the high glucose group, inhibiting the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway, with diminished mitophagy and increased intracellular ROS production. The overexpression of Sirt3, increased expression of p-AMPK/AMPK and p-ULK1/ULK1, and decreased expression of p-mTOR/mTOR inhibited cell apoptosis and enhanced mitophagy. Conclusions Sirt3 protected RPE cells from high glucose-induced injury by activating the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway. Translational Relevance By identifying new targets of action, we aimed to establish effective therapeutic targets for diabetic retinopathy treatment.

Abstract
Sirtuins catalyze deacetylation of lysine residues with a NAD+-dependent mechanism. In mammals, the sirtuin family is composed of seven members, divided into four subclasses that differ in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, regulation, as well as interactions with other proteins, both within and outside the epigenetic field. Recently, much interest has been growing in SIRT3, which is mainly involved in regulating mitochondrial metabolism. Moreover, SIRT3 seems to be protective in diseases such as age-related, neurodegenerative, liver, kidney, heart, and metabolic ones, as well as in cancer. In most cases, activating SIRT3 could be a promising strategy to tackle these health problems. Here, we summarize the main biological functions, substrates, and interactors of SIRT3, as well as several molecules reported in the literature that are able to modulate SIRT3 activity. Among the activators, some derive from natural products, others from library screening, and others from the classical medicinal chemistry approach.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of NAD+ -dependent deacetylases that regulate some important biological processes, including lipid metabolism and autophagy, through their deacetylase function. Autophagy is a new discovery in the field of lipid metabolism, which may provide a new idea for the regulation of lipid metabolism. There are many tandem parts in the regulation process of lipid metabolism and autophagy of sirtuins protein family. This paper summarized these tandem parts and proposed the possibility of sirtuins regulating lipid autophagy, as well as the interaction and synergy between sirtuins protein family. Currently, some natural drugs have been reported to affect metabolism by regulating sirtuins, some of which regulate autophagy by targeting sirtuins.

The identification of cianidanol as a selective estrogen receptor beta agonist and evaluation of its neuroprotective effects on Parkinson's disease models. Life Sci 2023; 333:122144. [PMID: 37797687 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.122144] [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: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM The present study aims to identify selective estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) agonists and to evaluate the neuroprotective mechanism in Parkinson's disease (PD) models. MAIN METHODS In-silico studies were carried out using Maestro and GROMACS. Neuroprotective activity and apoptosis were evaluated using cytotoxicity assay and flow cytometry respectively. Gene expression studies were carried out by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Motor and cognitive functions were assessed by actophotometer, rotarod, catalepsy, and elevated plus maze. The neuronal population in the substantia nigra and striatum of rats was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. KEY FINDINGS Cianidanol was identified as a selective ERβ agonist through virtual screening. The cianidanol-ERβ complex is stable during the 200 ns simulation and was able to retain the interactions with key amino acid residues. Cianidanol (25 μM) prevents neuronal toxicity and apoptosis induced by rotenone in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. Additionally, cianidanol (25 μM) increases the expression of ERβ, cathepsin D, and Nrf2 transcripts. The neuroprotective effects of cianidanol (25 μM) were reversed in the presence of a selective ERβ antagonist. In this study, we found that selective activation of ERβ could decrease the transcription of α-synuclein gene. Additionally, cianidanol (10, 20, 30 mg/kg, oral) improves the motor and cognitive deficit in rats induced by rotenone. SIGNIFICANCE Cianidanol shows neuroprotective action in PD models and has the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of PD.

Abstract
Autophagy is well-known to be a lysosome-mediated catabolic process for maintaining cellular and organismal homeostasis, which has been established with many links to a variety of human diseases. Compared with the therapeutic strategy for inhibiting autophagy, activating autophagy seems to be another promising therapeutic strategy in several contexts. Hitherto, mounting efforts have been made to discover potent and selective small-molecule activators of autophagy to potentially treat human diseases. Thus, in this perspective, we focus on summarizing the complicated relationships between defective autophagy and human diseases, and further discuss the updated progress of a series of small-molecule activators targeting autophagy in human diseases. Taken together, these inspiring findings would provide a clue on discovering more small-molecule activators of autophagy as targeted candidate drugs for potential therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Aging is a natural and complex biological process that is associated with widespread functional declines in numerous physiological processes, terminally affecting multiple organs and tissues. Fibrosis and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) often occur with aging, imposing large burdens on public health worldwide, and there are currently no effective treatment strategies for these diseases. Mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3-5), which are members of the sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent deacylases and ADP-ribosyltransferases, are capable of regulating mitochondrial function by modifying mitochondrial proteins that participate in the regulation of cell survival under various physiological and pathological conditions. A growing body of evidence has revealed that SIRT3-5 exert protective effects against fibrosis in multiple organs and tissues, including the heart, liver, and kidney. SIRT3-5 are also involved in multiple age-related NDs, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Furthermore, SIRT3-5 have been noted as promising targets for antifibrotic therapies and the treatment of NDs. This review systematically highlights recent advances in knowledge regarding the role of SIRT3-5 in fibrosis and NDs and discusses SIRT3-5 as therapeutic targets for NDs and fibrosis.

Abstract
Defective autophagy is one of the cellular hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, a therapeutic strategy could be a modest enhancement of autophagic activity in dopamine (DA) neurons to deal with the clearance of damaged mitochondria and abnormal protein aggregates. Syringin (SRG) is a phenolic glycoside derived from the root of Acanthopanax senticosus. It has antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, whether it has a preventive effect on PD remains unclear. The present study found that SRG reversed the increase in intracellular ROS-caused apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells induced by neurotoxin 6-OHDA exposure. Likewise, in C. elegans, degeneration of DA neurons, DA-related food-sensitive behaviors, longevity, and accumulation of α-synuclein were also improved. Studies of neuroprotective mechanisms have shown that SRG can reverse the suppressed expression of SIRT1, Beclin-1, and other autophagy markers in 6-OHDA-exposed cells. Thus, these enhanced the formation of autophagic vacuoles and autophagy activity. This protective effect can be blocked by pretreatment with wortmannin (an autophagosome formation blocker) and bafilomycin A1 (an autophagosome-lysosome fusion blocker). In addition, 6-OHDA increases the acetylation of Beclin-1, leading to its inactivation. SRG can induce the expression of SIRT1 and promote the deacetylation of Beclin-1. Finally, we found that SRG reduced the 6-OHDA-induced expression of miR-34a targeting SIRT1. The overexpression of miR-34a mimic abolishes the neuroprotective ability of SRG. In conclusion, SRG induces autophagy via partially regulating the miR-34a/SIRT1/Beclin-1 axis to prevent 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis and α-synuclein accumulation. SRG has the opportunity to be established as a candidate agent for the prevention and cure of PD.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is recognized as one of the main reasons for cellular damage and neurodegenerative diseases. Zerumbone is one of the sesquiterpenoid compounds in the essential oil of Zingiber zerumbet Smith. Zerumbone exhibits various physiological activities, such as anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. However, studies on the neuroprotective efficacy of zerumbone and the mechanism behind it are lacking. In this study, we explored the neuroprotective efficacy of zerumbone and its mechanism in hydrogen peroxide-treated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. H2O2 treatment (400 μM) for 24 h enhanced the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to untreated cells. By contrast, zerumbone treatment significantly suppressed the production of intracellular ROS. Zerumbone significantly inhibited H2O2-induced nitric oxide production and expression of inflammation-related genes. Moreover, zerumbone decreased H2O2-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) protein expression. Various hallmarks of apoptosis in H2O2-treated cells were suppressed in a dose-dependent manner through downregulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio by zerumbone. Since activation of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is a promising therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases, we also investigated the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as part of the autophagy mechanism in H2O2-treated SH-SY5Y cells. In this study, zerumbone upregulated the expression of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and p-AMPK (which were downregulated by the H2O2 treatment) and downregulated p-mTOR. Altogether, our results propose that inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation by autophagy activation plays an important neuroprotective role in H2O2-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Zerumbone may thus be a potent dietary agent that reduces the onset and progression, as well as prevents neurodegenerative diseases.

LRRK2 Knockout Confers Resistance in HEK-293 Cells to Rotenone-Induced Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial Damage, and Apoptosis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10474. [PMID: 37445652 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241310474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) has been linked to dopaminergic neuronal vulnerability to oxidative stress (OS), mitochondrial impairment, and increased cell death in idiopathic and familial Parkinson's disease (PD). However, how exactly this kinase participates in the OS-mitochondria-apoptosis connection is still unknown. We used clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 LRRK2 knockout (KO) in the human embryonic kidney cell line 293 (HEK-293) to evaluate the cellular response to the mitochondrial inhibitor complex I rotenone (ROT), a well-known OS and cell death inducer. We report successful knockout of the LRRK2 gene in HEK-293 cells using CRISPR editing (ICE, approximately 60%) and flow cytometry (81%) analyses. We found that HEK-293 LRRK2 WT cells exposed to rotenone (ROT, 50 μM) resulted in a significant increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS, +7400%); oxidized DJ-1-Cys106-SO3 (+52%); phosphorylation of LRRK2 (+70%) and c-JUN (+171%); enhanced expression of tumor protein (TP53, +2000%), p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA, +1950%), and Parkin (PRKN, +22%); activation of caspase 3 (CASP3, +8000%), DNA fragmentation (+35%) and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm, -58%) and PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1, -49%) when compared to untreated cells. The translocation of the cytoplasmic fission protein dynamin-related Protein 1 (DRP1) to mitochondria was also observed by colocalization with translocase of the outer membrane 20 (TOM20). Outstandingly, HEK-293 LRRK2 KO cells treated with ROT showed unaltered OS and apoptosis markers. We conclude that loss of LRRK2 causes HEK-293 to be resistant to ROT-induced OS, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis in vitro. Our data support the hypothesis that LRRK2 acts as a proapoptotic kinase by regulating mitochondrial proteins (e.g., PRKN, PINK1, DRP1, and PUMA), transcription factors (e.g., c-JUN and TP53), and CASP3 in cells under stress conditions. Taken together, these observations suggest that LRRK2 is an important kinase in the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
Significance: Mitochondrial proteins regulate the oxidative phosphorylation, cellular metabolism, and free radical generation. Redox modulation alters the mitochondrial proteins and instigates the damage to dopaminergic neurons. Toxicants contribute to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis in conjunction with aging and genetic factors. While oxidative modulation of a number of mitochondrial proteins is linked to xenobiotic exposure, little is known about its role in the toxicant-induced PD. Understanding the role of redox modulation of mitochondrial proteins in complex cellular events leading to neurodegeneration is highly relevant. Recent Advances: Many toxicants are shown to inhibit complex I or III and elicit free radical production that alters the redox status of mitochondrial proteins. Implication of redox modulation of the mitochondrial proteins makes them a target to comprehend the underlying mechanism of toxicant-induced PD. Critical Issues: Owing to multifactorial etiology, exploration of onset and progression and treatment outcomes needs a comprehensive approach. The article explains about a few mitochondrial proteins that undergo redox changes along with the promising strategies, which help to alleviate the toxicant-induced redox imbalance leading to neurodegeneration. Future Directions: Although mitochondrial proteins are linked to PD, their role in toxicant-induced parkinsonism is not yet completely known. Preservation of antioxidant defense machinery could alleviate the redox modulation of mitochondrial proteins. Targeted antioxidant delivery, use of metal chelators, and activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, and combinational therapy that encounters multiple free radicals, could ameliorate the redox modulation of mitochondrial proteins and thereby PD progression.

J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2023; 14:18. [PMID: 36788581 PMCID: PMC9926763 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-022-00825-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the transition period, the insufficient dry matter intake and a sharply increased in energy consumption to produce large quantities of milk, high yielding cows would enter a negative energy balance (NEB) that causes an increase in ketone bodies (KBs) and decrease in reproduction efficiency. The excess concentrations of circulating KBs, represented by β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), could lead to oxidative damage, which potentially cause injury to follicular granulosa cells (fGCs) and delayed follicular development. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) regulates mitochondria reactive oxygen species (mitoROS) homeostasis in a beneficial manner; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying its involvement in the BHBA-induced injury of fGCs is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to explore the protection effects and underlying mechanisms of Sirt3 against BHBA overload-induced damage of fGCs. RESULTS Our findings demonstrated that 2.4 mmol/L of BHBA stress increased the levels of mitoROS in bovine fGCs. Further investigations identified the subsequent mitochondrial dysfunction, including an increased abnormal rate of mitochondrial architecture, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening, reductions in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and Ca2+ release; these dysfunctions then triggered the caspase cascade reaction of apoptosis in fGCs. Notably, the overexpression of Sirt3 prior to treatment enhanced mitochondrial autophagy by increasing the expression levels of Beclin-1, thus preventing BHBA-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in fGCs. Furthermore, our data suggested that the AMPK-mTOR-Beclin-1 pathway may be involved in the protective mechanism of Sirt3 against cellular injury triggered by BHBA stimulation. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that Sirt3 protects fGCs from BHBA-triggered injury by enhancing autophagy, attenuating oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. This study provides new strategies to mitigate the fGCs injury caused by excessive BHBA stress in dairy cows with ketosis.

Sex-divergent effects on the NAD+-dependent deacetylase sirtuin signaling across the olfactory-entorhinal-amygdaloid axis in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Biol Sex Differ 2023; 14:5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Smell impairment is one of the earliest features in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). Due to sex differences exist in terms of smell and olfactory structures as well as in the prevalence and manifestation of both neurological syndromes, we have applied olfactory proteomics to favor the discovery of novel sex-biased physio-pathological mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets associated with olfactory dysfunction. METHODS SWATH-MS (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry) and bioinformatic workflows were applied in 57 post-mortem olfactory tracts (OT) derived from controls with no known neurological history (n = 6F/11M), AD (n = 4F/13M) and PD (n = 7F/16M) subjects. Complementary molecular analyses by Western-blotting were performed in the olfactory bulb (OB), entorhinal cortex (EC) and amygdala areas. RESULTS 327 and 151 OT differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were observed in AD women and AD men, respectively (35 DEPs in common). With respect to PD, 198 DEPs were identified in PD women, whereas 95 DEPs were detected in PD men (20 DEPs in common). This proteome dyshomeostasis induced a disruption in OT protein interaction networks and widespread sex-dependent pathway perturbations in a disease-specific manner, among them Sirtuin (SIRT) signaling. SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3 and SIRT5 protein levels unveiled a tangled expression profile across the olfactory-entorhinal-amygdaloid axis, evidencing disease-, sex- and brain structure-dependent changes in olfactory protein acetylation. CONCLUSIONS Alteration in the OT proteostasis was more severe in AD than in PD. Moreover, protein expression changes were more abundant in women than men independent of the neurological syndrome. Mechanistically, the tangled SIRT profile observed across the olfactory pathway-associated brain regions in AD and PD indicates differential NAD (+)-dependent deacetylase mechanisms between women and men. All these data shed new light on differential olfactory mechanisms across AD and PD, pointing out that the evaluation of the feasibility of emerging sirtuin-based therapies against neurodegenerative diseases should be considered with caution, including further sex dimension analyses in vivo and in clinical studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research aimed to explore the effect of periodontitis on renal tissues injury in rats and the role of Sirtuin3 (Sirt3) and its regulation of autophagy in this progression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty Wistar rats were assigned into three groups: control, periodontitis (P), and periodontitis with gavage administration of Sirt3 activator resveratrol (P + RSV). To induce periodontitis, the wire ligature was placed around the cervical region of the rat maxillary first molar. After 8 weeks, micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) were used to evaluate the alveolar bone resorption and periodontal inflammation. Serum and urine biochemical indicators were measured to assess renal function. The pathological changes of the kidney were observed via HE and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining. Autophagosome was viewed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Real-time PCR and western blot were used to test expressions of Sirt3 and autophagy indicators in renal and periodontal tissues, including mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), phosphor-mTOR (p-mTOR), BECN1 (Beclin-1), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3). RESULTS Alveolar bone destruction, resorption, and periodontal inflammation were observed in the P group (compared with the control group), and the above indexes were significantly improved after RSV intervention; the obvious changes in renal tissue structure in the P group were partially recovered after RSV intervention, while renal functional status was not affected (among the three groups); in addition, the levels of Sirt3 and autophagy in kidney and periodontal tissues of P group were inhibited, manifested as a decrease in the number of autophagosomes (renal tissue) and expressions of autophagy marker Beclin-1 and LC3 conversion rate and an increase in the expression of p-mTOR. After Sirt3 activation (RSV), the above indicators were significantly improved. CONCLUSION Periodontitis causes renal structural damage in rats, which may be connected to the effect of Sirt3-induced autophagy.

Abstract
SIRT3, the primary mitochondrial deacetylase, regulates the functions of mitochondrial proteins including metabolic enzymes and respiratory chain components. Although SIRT3's functions in peripheral tissues are well established, the significance of its downregulation in neurodegenerative diseases is beginning to emerge. SIRT3 plays a key role in brain energy metabolism and provides substrate flexibility to neurons. It also facilitates metabolic coupling between fuel substrate-producing tissues and fuel-consuming tissues. SIRT3 mediates the health benefits of lifestyle-based modifications such as calorie restriction and exercise. SIRT3 deficiency is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), a precondition for diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The pure form of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rare, and it has been reported to coexist with these diseases in aging populations. SIRT3 downregulation leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and inflammation, potentially triggering factors of AD pathogenesis. Recent studies have also suggested that SIRT3 may act through multiple pathways to reduce plaque formation in the AD brain. In this review, we give an overview of SIRT3's roles in brain physiology and pathology and discuss several activators of SIRT3 that can be considered potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of dementia.

Abstract
Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is a deacetylase that plays an important role in normal physiological activities by regulating a variety of substrates. Considerable evidence has shown that the content and activity of SIRT3 are altered in neurological diseases. Furthermore, SIRT3 affects the occurrence and development of neurological diseases. In most cases, SIRT3 can inhibit clinical manifestations of neurological diseases by promoting autophagy, energy production, and stabilization of mitochondrial dynamics, and by inhibiting neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress (OS). However, SIRT3 may sometimes have the opposite effect. SIRT3 can promote the transfer of microglia. Microglia in some cases promote ischemic brain injury, and in some cases inhibit ischemic brain injury. Moreover, SIRT3 can promote the accumulation of ceramide, which can worsen the damage caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). This review comprehensively summarizes the different roles and related mechanisms of SIRT3 in neurological diseases. Moreover, to provide more ideas for the prognosis of neurological diseases, we summarize several SIRT3-mediated rehabilitation training methods.

Abstract
The goal of the investigation was to study the protective effects of the SWGEDWGEIW (the single peptide, TSP) from soybean peptides (SBP) on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis together with mitochondrial dysfunction in PC-12 cells and their possible implications to protection mechanism. Meanwhile, the SBP was used as a control experiment. The results suggested that SBP and TSP significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited cellular oxidative damage and ROS-mediated apoptosis. In addition, SBP and TSP also enhanced multiple mitochondrial biological activities, decreased mitochondrial ROS levels, amplified mitochondrial respiration, increased cellular maximal respiration, spare respiration capacity, and ATP production. In addition, SBP and TSP significantly (p < 0.05) raised the SIRT3 protein expression and the downstream functional gene FOXO3a. In the above activity tests, the activity of TSP was slightly higher than that of SBP. Taken together, our findings suggested that SBP and TSP can be used as promising nutrients for oxidative damage reduction in neurons, and TSP is more effective than SBP. Therefore, TSP has the potential to replace SBP and reduce neuronal oxidative damage.

Abstract
Dexmedetomidine (Dex) plays protective effects on brain ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, but its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Dex protects neurons against I/R injury by activating SIRT3 mediated autophagy. The oxygen glucose deprivation-reperfusion (OGD/R) model was constructed in HT22 cells. Different doses of Dex (50 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL and 500 ng/mL) were treated to observe the changes of autophagy and SIRT3 expression. Further, the mimic of SIRT3 and SIRT3 inhibitor were used to analyze the effects of Dex on the SIRT3 expression in HT22 cells. Additionally, the autophagy inhibitor and AMPK inhibitor were used to analyze the effects of Dex on SIRT3 mediated autophagy. The cells viability, oxidative stress and ATP were observed using assay kits. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and death were analyzed by flow cytometry. The degree of autophagy was observed by acridine orange staining. Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of autophagy related proteins and AMPK/mTOR pathway related proteins. After Dex treatment, the OGD/R induced cell injury was significantly improved through decreasing the levels of LDH and H2O2, increasing levels of ATP and MMP. Furthermore, Dex increased the degree of autophagy and expression of SIRT3 in OGD/R injured cells. Through overexpression of SIRT3, the OGD/R induced cell injury was also clearly improved. But the SIRT3 inhibitor or autophagy inhibitor covered the roles of Dex. Additionally, AMPK inhibitor played an opposite role compared with the effects of Dex treatment. From this study, the protection mechanism of Dex on neurons I/R injury might related to the activation of SIRT3 mediated autophagy.

Abstract
Synuclein aggregation in neuronal cells is the primary underlying cause of synucleinopathies. Changes in gene expression patterns, structural modifications, and altered interactions with other cellular proteins often trigger aggregation of α-synuclein, which accumulates as oligomers or fibrils in Lewy bodies. Although fibrillar forms of α-synuclein are primarily considered pathological, recent studies have revealed that even the intermediate states of aggregates are neurotoxic, complicating the development of therapeutic interventions. Autophagy and ubiquitin-proteasome pathways play a significant role in maintaining the soluble levels of α-synuclein inside cells; however, the heterogeneous nature of the aggregates presents a significant bottleneck to its degradation by these cellular pathways. With studies focused on identifying the proteins that modulate synuclein aggregation and clearance, detailed mechanistic insights are emerging about the individual and synergistic effects of these degradation pathways in regulating soluble α-synuclein levels. In this article, we discuss the impact of α-synuclein aggregation on autophagy-lysosome and ubiquitin-proteasome pathways and the therapeutic strategies that target various aspects of synuclein aggregation or degradation via these pathways. Additionally, we also highlight the natural and synthetic compounds that have shown promise in alleviating the cellular damage caused due to synuclein aggregation.

Abstract
Sirtuins are protein factors that can delay aging and alleviate age-related diseases through multiple molecular pathways, mainly by promoting DNA damage repair, delaying telomere shortening, and mediating the longevity effect of caloric restriction. In the last decade, sirtuins have also been suggested to exert mitochondrial quality control by mediating mitophagy, which targets damaged mitochondria and delivers them to lysosomes for degradation. This is especially significant for age-related diseases because dysfunctional mitochondria accumulate in aging organisms. Accordingly, it has been suggested that sirtuins and mitophagy have many common and interactive aspects in the aging process. This article reviews the mechanisms and pathways of sirtuin family-mediated mitophagy and further discusses its role in aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) caused by ischemic stroke treatments leads to brain injury and its pathological mechanism is related to autophagy. The underlying mechanism of kaempferol on cerebral I/R injury needs to be explored. To establish I/R injury, we used a middle cerebral artery occlusion-reperfusion (MCAO) model in rats. MCAO rats were treated with the same amount of saline (I/R group); Treatment group rats were treated orally with kaempferol (50, 100, 200 mg/kg) for 7 days before surgery. After reperfusion for 24 h, the scores of neurological deficits and infarct volume in each group were evaluated. LC3, Beclin-1 p62, AMPK and mTOR protein expression levels were examined by TTC staining, immunofluorescence staining, qRT-PCR and western blotting assay. H&E and TTC staining showed that compared with model group, the infarction size of rats in kaempferol group was markedly reduced. Meanwhile, the results showed that kaempferol had a dose-dependent nerve function repairability. Nissl and TUNEL staining showed that kaempferol could reduce neuronal apoptosis and ameliorate neuronal impairment after I/R. Western blotting and qRT-PCR results showed that kaempferol could protect the brain from ischemia reperfusion by activating autophagy. In addition, add AMPK inhibitor, western blotting and immumohistochemical staining showed that kaempferol mediated AMPK/mTOR signal pathway in MCAO rats. Kaempferol could mediate the AMPK signal pathway to regulate autophagy and inhibit apoptosis to protect brain against I/R injury.

Mol Neurobiol 2022; 59:2068-2084. [PMID: 35040040 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-021-02689-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are thought to play a dominant role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Mogroside V (MV), extracted from Siraitia grosvenorii, exhibits antioxidant-like activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of MV in neuroprotection in PD and to reveal its mechanism of action. To that end, we firstly set up mice models of PD with unilateral striatum injection of 0.25 mg/kg rotenone (Rot) and co-treated with 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg MV by gavage. Results showed that Rot-induced motor impairments and dopaminergic neuronal damage were reversed by treatment of 10 mg/kg MV. Then, we established cellular models of PD using Rot-treated SH-SY5Y cells, which were divided into six groups, including control, Rot, and co-enzyme Q10 (CQ10), as well as MV groups, MV25, MV50, and MV100 treated with 25 μM, 50 μM, and 100 μM MV doses, respectively. Results demonstrated that MV effectively attenuates Rot neurotoxicity through a ROS-related intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. MV reduced overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), recovered the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and increased the oxygen consumption rate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in a dose-dependent manner. Hence, treatment with MV led to a reduction in the number of apoptotic cells, as reflected by Annexin-V/propidium iodide co-staining using flow cytometry and TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay. In addition, the Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) protein level and activity were decreased upon exposure to Rot both in substantia nigra (SN) of mice and SH-SY5Y cells. SIRT3 impairment hyperacetylated a key mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). MV alleviates SIRT3 and SOD2 molecular changes. However, after successfully inhibiting SIRT3 by its specific inhibitor 3-1H-1, 2, 3-triazol-4-yl pyridine (3TYP), MV was not able to reduce ROS levels, reverse abnormal MMP, or decrease apoptotic cells. Motor impairments and dopaminergic neuronal injury in the SN were alleviated with the oral administration of MV in Rot-treated PD mice, indicating a relationship between protection against defective motility and preservation of dopaminergic neurons. Therefore, we conclude that MV can alleviate Rot-induced neurotoxicity in a PD model, and that SIRT3 may be an important regulator in the protection of MV.

Abstract
Background SERPINB1 is involved in the development of a variety of diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of SERPINB1 on acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Serum SERPINB1 level of AMI patients was measured for receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The AMI rat model was constructed to observe myocardial damage, and the H9C2 cell oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) model was constructed to detect cell viability. Transthoracic echocardiography was used to assess the cardiac function. TTC staining and HE staining were used to detect pathologic changes of myocardial tissues. The apoptosis of myocardial tissues and cells were measured by TUNLE staining and flow cytometry assay. CCK-8 assay to measure cell viability. SERPINB1 expression was measured by qRT-PCR. Protein expression was measured by western blot. Results The serum SERPINB1 level was down-regulated in AMI patients. AMI modeling reduced the SERPINB1 expression level, induced inflammatory cells infiltrated, and myocardial apoptosis. OGD treatment inhibited cell viability and promoted apoptosis. The AMPK/mTOR pathway was inhibited in AMI rats and OGD-treated H9C2 cells. Overexpression of SERPINB1 reduced infarct size and myocardial apoptosis of AMI rats, inhibited apoptosis of H9C2 cells, and activated AMPK/mTOR pathway. However, AMPK inhibitor Dorsomorphin reversed the protective effect of SERPINB1 on myocardial cells. Conclusion SERPINB1 overexpression relieved myocardial damage induced by AMI via AMPK/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the role of chondrocytes mitochondrial biogenesis in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), and analyze the applications in the treatment of OA. METHODS A review of recent literature was conducted to summarize the changes in mitochondrial biogenesis in the course of OA, the role of major signaling molecules in OA chondrocytes, and the prospects for OA therapeutic applications. RESULTS Recent studies reveales that mitochondria are significant energy metabolic centers in chondrocytes and its dysfunction has been considered as an essential mechanism in the pathogenesis of OA. Mitochondrial biogenesis is one of the key processes maintaining the normal quantity and function of mitochondria, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) is the central regulator of this process. A regulatory network of mitochondrial biogenesis with PGC-1α as the center, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, sirtuin1/3, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein as the main upstream regulatory molecules, and nuclear respiratory factor 1, estrogen-related receptor α, and nuclear respiratory factor 2 as the main downstream regulatory molecules has been reported. However, the role of mitochondrial biogenesis in OA chondrocytes still needs further validation and in-depth exploration. It has been demonstrated that substances such as puerarin and omentin-1 can retard the development of OA by activating the damaged mitochondrial biogenesis in OA chondrocytes, which proves the potential to be used in the treatment OA. CONCLUSION Mitochondrial biogenesis in chondrocytes plays an important role in the pathogenesis of OA, and further exploring the related mechanisms is of great clinical significance.

Abstract
HIV-Associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is one of the major concerns since it persists in 40% of this population. Nowadays, HAND neuropathogenesis is considered to be caused by the infected cells that cross the brain-blood barrier and produce viral proteins that can be secreted and internalized into neurons leading to disruption of cellular processes. The evidence points to viral proteins such as Tat as the causal agent for neuronal alteration and thus HAND. The hallmarks in Tat-induced neurodegeneration are endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent deacetylases involved in mitochondria biogenesis, unfolded protein response, and intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Tat interaction with these deacetylases causes inhibition of SIRT1 and SIRT3. Studies revealed that SIRTs activation promotes neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this review focuses on Tat-induced neurotoxicity mechanisms that involve SIRTs as key regulators and their modulation as a therapeutic strategy for tackling HAND and thereby improving the quality of life of people living with HIV.

Abstract
Sirtuins, a class III histone/protein deacetylase, is a central regulator of metabolic function and cellular stress response. This plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic syndromes, and cardiovascular disease. Sirtuins regulate biological and cellular processes, for instance, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid and fatty acid oxidation, oxidative stress, gene transcriptional activity, apoptosis, inflammatory response, DNA repair mechanism, and autophagic cell degradation, which are known components for the progression of the neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Emerging evidence suggests that sirtuins are the useful molecular targets against NDDs like, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Huntington's Disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). However, the exact mechanism of neuroprotection mediated through sirtuins remains unsettled. The manipulation of sirtuins activity with its modulators, calorie restriction (CR), and micro RNAs (miR) is a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of NDDs. Herein, we reviewed the current putative therapeutic role of sirtuins in regulating synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions, which are mediated through the different molecular phenomenon to prevent neurodegeneration. We also explained the implications of sirtuin modulators, and miR based therapies for the treatment of life-threatening NDDs.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a well-known mitochondrial deacetylase, is involved in mitochondrial function and metabolism under various stress conditions. In this study, we found that the expression of SIRT3 was markedly increased by oxidative stress in dopaminergic neuronal cells. In addition, SIRT3 overexpression enhanced mitochondrial activity in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. We also showed that SIRT3 overexpression attenuated rotenone- or H2O2-induced toxicity in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells (human dopaminergic cell line). We further found that knockdown of SIRT3 enhanced rotenone- or H2O2-induced toxicity in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, overexpression of SIRT3 mitigated cell death caused by LPS/IFN-γ stimulation in astrocytes. We also found that the rotenone treatment increases the level of SIRT3 in Drosophila brain. We observed that downregulation of sirt2 (Drosophila homologue of SIRT3) significantly accelerated the rotenone-induced toxicity in flies. Taken together, these findings suggest that the overexpression of SIRT3 mitigates oxidative stress-induced cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons and astrocytes.

Abstract
Over decades of studies, accumulating evidence has suggested that epigenetic dysregulation is a hallmark of tumours. Post-translational modifications of histones are involved in tumour pathogenesis and development mainly by influencing a broad range of physiological processes. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are pivotal epigenetic modulators that regulate dynamic processes in the acetylation of histones at lysine residues, thereby influencing transcription of oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. Moreover, HDACs mediate the deacetylation process of many nonhistone proteins and thus orchestrate a host of pathological processes, such as tumour pathogenesis. In this review, we elucidate the functions of HDACs in cancer.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a predominant cause of end-stage renal disease. The impairment of the autophagy of human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) is involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of DN. Sirtuin (Sirt)3 regulates the scavenging of damaged organelles and maintains energy balance. The present study aimed to examine the protective effects of Sirt3 on HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose (HG). HK-2 cells were cultured in normal glucose (NG), HG or hyperosmotic medium. The viability of the HK-2 cells was detected using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The expression and localization of Sirt3 were detected via immunofluorescence. Following transfection with an overexpression plasmid, the expression levels of key components in the Notch homolog 1 (Notch-1)/hairy and enhancer of split-1 (Hes-1) pathway and those of the autophagy-related proteins, Beclin-1, LC-3II and p62, were measured by western blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). As the Notch-1/Hes-1 pathway was inhibited, the expression levels of Beclin-1, LC-3II and p62 were also examined at transcriptional and translational level. It was found that prolonged culture in HG medium markedly reduced cell viability compared with the cells cultured in NG or in NG + mannitol, an effect that was aggravated with the increasing duration of culture. HG was capable of inhibiting the expression levels of Beclin-1, LC-3II and Sirt3, and upregulating p62 and the Notch-1/Hes-1 pathway, as verified by western blot analysis and RT-qPCR. The results of immunofluorescence staining revealed that HG decreased Sirt3 expression. Sirt3 reversed the HG-induced inhibition of the expression of Beclin-1 and LC-3II and the upregulation of p62. Moreover, Sirt3 reversed the HG-induced inhibition of the Notch-1/Hes-1 signaling pathway. However, this autophagy-promoting effect of Sirt3 was counteracted by the Notch-1/Hes-1 pathway activator. On the whole, the present study demonstrated that Sirt3 promoted the autophagy of HK-2 cells, at least partly, via the downregulation of Notch-1/Hes-1.

Abstract
SIRT1 is a deacetylase with multiple physiological functions by targeting histones and non-histone proteins. It has been shown that SIRT1 activation is involved in neuroprotection in Parkinson's disease (PD) models. In the present study, we provided direct evidences showing the neuroprotective roles of SIRT1 in dopaminergic neurons. Our data showed that increased expression of SIRT1 plays beneficial roles against MPP+ insults in SH-SY5Y cells and primary dopaminergic neurons, including increased cell viability, reduced LDH release, improved the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and attenuated cell apoptosis. On the contrary, knockdown of SIRT1 further aggravated cell injuries induced by MPP+. Moreover, mutated SIRT1 without deacetylase activity (SIRT1 H363Y) failed to protect dopaminergic neurons from MPP+ injuries. Mechanistically, SIRT1 improved PGC-1α expression and mitochondrial biogenesis. Knockdown of PGC-1α almost completely abolished the neuroprotective roles of SIRT1 in SH-SY5Y cells. Collectively, our data indicate that SIRT1 has neuroprotective roles in dopaminergic neurons, which is dependent upon PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis. These findings suggest that SIRT1 may hold great therapeutic potentials for treating dopaminergic neuron loss associated disorders such as PD.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are now widely accepted as the major factors involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rotenone, a commonly used environmental toxin also reproduces these principle pathological features of PD. Hence, it is used frequently to induce experimental PD in cells and animals. In this study, we evaluated the neuroprotective effects of metformin against rotenone-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. Metformin treatment clearly rescued these cells from rotenone-mediated cell death via the reduction of the cytosolic and mitochondrial levels of reactive oxygen species and restoration of mitochondrial function. Furthermore, metformin upregulated PGC-1α, the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and key antioxidant molecules, including glutathione and superoxide dismutase. We demonstrated that the drug exerted its cytoprotective effects by activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme-oxygenase (HO)-1 pathway, which in turn, is dependent on AKT activation by metformin. Thus, our results implicate that metformin provides neuroprotection against rotenone by inhibiting oxidative stress in the cells by inducing antioxidant system via upregulation of transcription mediated by Nrf2, thereby restoring the rotenone-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and energy deficit in the cells.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-associated mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a major mechanism in multiple neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to investigate the cytoprotective effects of piceatannol on ROS-mediated PC-12 cells damage and related mitochondrial dysfunction. Piceatannol treatment could significantly attenuate PC-12 cells oxidative damage and ROS-mediated cells apoptosis. Moreover, pretreatment with piceatannol effectively decreased mitochondrial membrane depolarization, cleaved-caspase 3, and increased Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax compared with control H2 O2 group. Meanwhile, piceatannol treatment improved mitochondrial respiration function which led to an enhancement in the maximal respiration and spare respiratory capacity. Further mechanisms analysis showed that the protein expression of SIRT3 and its downstream protein FOXO3a were significantly increased after piceatannol addition in a dose-dependent manner. Whereas the cytoprotective role of piceatannol was markedly abolished by the SIRT3 inhibitor 3-TYP, suggesting that SIRT3/FOXO3a signaling pathway played a vital role in mediating the neuronal cytoprotective effects of piceatannol. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The results of our study provide a novel insight that piceatannol could be potentially used as a promising bioactive component against oxidative damage and neurocyte apoptosis. The findings may provide theoretical basis for brain health of piceatannol consumption in some extent.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to be one of the important pathogenesis in Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously showed that pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) could protect SH-SY5Y cells and dopaminergic neurons from cytotoxicity and prevent mitochondrial dysfunction in rotenone-induced PD models. In the present study we investigated the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of PQQ in a mouse PD model, which was established by intraperitoneal injection of rotenone (3 mg·kg-1·d-1, ip) for 3 weeks. Meanwhile the mice were treated with PQQ (0.8, 4, 20 mg·kg-1·d-1, ip) right after rotenone injection for 3 weeks. We showed that PQQ treatment dose-dependently alleviated the locomotor deficits and nigral dopaminergic neuron loss in PD mice. Furthermore, PQQ treatment significantly diminished the reduction of mitochondria number and their pathological change in the midbrain. PQQ dose-dependently blocked rotenone-caused reduction in the expression of PGC-1α and TFAM, two key activators of mitochondrial gene transcription, in the midbrain. In rotenone-injured human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, PTMScan Direct analysis revealed that treatment with PQQ (100 μM) differentially regulated protein phosphorylation; the differentially expressed phosphorylated proteins included the signaling pathways related with adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. We conducted Western blot analysis and confirmed that AMPK was activated by PQQ both in PD mice and in rotenone-injured SH-SY5Y cells. Pretreatment with AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin (4 μM) significantly attenuated the protective effect and mitochondrial biogenesis by PQQ treatment in rotenone-injured SH-SY5Y cells. Taken together, PQQ promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in rotenone-injured mice and SH-SY5Y cells via activation of AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
It has been shown that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors hold considerable therapeutic potentials for treating neurodegeneration-related diseases including Parkinson disease (PD). Here, we synthesized an HDAC inhibitor named as HGC and examined its neuroprotective roles in PD models. Our results showed that HGC protects dopaminergic neurons from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced insults. Furthermore, in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD model mice, HGC application rectifies behavioral defects, improves tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the midbrain, and maintains mitochondrial integrity and functions. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry data revealed that HGC stimulates acetylation modification at lysine 28 of NDUFV1. Inhibition of HDAC6 by HGC is responsible for this acetylation modification. Functional tests showed that, as well as HGC, NDUFV1 exhibits beneficial roles against MPP+ injuries. Moreover, knockdown of NDUFV1 abolishes the neuroprotective roles of HGC. Taken together, our data indicate that HGC has a great therapeutic potential for treating PD and NDUFV1 might be a target for developing drugs against PD. HGC is a potent inhibitor for HDACs, especially HDAC1/6 HGC protects dopaminergic neurons and alleviates PD symptoms in PD models HDAC6/NDUFV1 axis is responsible for transducing its anti-PD activities HGC holds great therapeutic potentials for treating PD

Abstract
The mammalian sirtuin family consists of seven proteins, three of which (SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5) localise specifically within mitochondria and preserve mitochondrial function and homeostasis. Mitochondrial sirtuins are involved in diverse functions such as deacetylation, ADP-ribosylation, demalonylation and desuccinylation, thus affecting various aspects of cell fate. Intriguingly, mitochondrial sirtuins are able to manage these delicate processes with accuracy mediated by crosstalk between the nucleus and mitochondria. Previous studies have provided ample information about their substrates and targets, whereas less is known about their role in cancer and stem cells. Here, we review and discuss recent advances in our understanding of the structural and functional properties of mitochondrial sirtuins, including their targets in cancer and stem cells. These advances could help to improve the understanding of their interplay with signalling cascades and pathways, leading to new avenues for developing novel drugs for sirtuin-related disease treatments. We also highlight the complex network of mitochondrial sirtuins in cancer and stem cells, which may be important in deciphering the molecular mechanism for their activation and inhibition.

Abstract
Paeoniflorin (PF) has been reported to be effective against several skin disorders, such as allergic contact dermatitis and psoriasis; however, it remains unclear whether PF can protect against urticarial lesions. Herein, the effects of PF on rats with urticarial lesions and the possible underlying mechanism were investigated. The effects of PF administration on a rat model of ovalbumin-induced urticarial-like lesions were evaluated via pathological analysis using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Toluidine blue staining was performed to detect mast cells and ELISA was performed to determine serum histamine levels. PF-induced regulatory effects on autophagic activity and the potential underlying mechanism of this were also investigated using transmission electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. It was demonstrated that PF suppressed allergic and inflammatory responses to improve urticarial lesions, as evidenced by the attenuation of pathological abnormalities, mast cell infiltration and histamine secretion. Mechanistically, PF treatment was found to markedly limit the production and release of inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-23, while the levels of IL-17 remained unchanged. PF intervention led to an increased number of autophagosomes, along with higher levels of light chain 3B (LC3B) and Beclin-1, and lower levels of P62, indicating that PF could augment autophagic activity in urticarial lesions. PF treatment increased the expression of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) and AMP-activated protein kinase-α (AMPK-α), contributing to the PF-enhanced autophagic activity. In conclusion, PF could effectively improve urticarial lesions by inhibiting inflammatory cytokine IL-23 and increasing the autophagic activity via the LKB1/AMPK-α pathway.

Abstract
Parkin is an E3 ubiquitin ligase belonging to the RING-between-RING family. Mutations in the Parkin-encoding gene PARK2 are associated with familial Parkinson's disease. Here, we investigate the interplay between Parkin and the inflammatory cytokine-induced ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10. FAT10 targets hundreds of proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. We show that FAT10 gets conjugated to Parkin and mediates its degradation in a proteasome-dependent manner. Parkin binds to the E2 enzyme of FAT10 (USE1), auto-FAT10ylates itself, and facilitates FAT10ylation of the Parkin substrate Mitofusin2 in vitro and in cells, thus identifying Parkin as a FAT10 E3 ligase. On mitochondrial depolarization, FAT10ylation of Parkin inhibits its activation and ubiquitin-ligase activity causing impairment of mitophagy progression and aggravation of rotenone-mediated death of dopaminergic neuronal cells. In conclusion, FAT10ylation inhibits Parkin and mitophagy rendering FAT10 a likely inflammation-induced exacerbating factor and potential drug target for Parkinson's disease.

Wu Y, Jiao Z, Wan Z, Qu S. Role of autophagy and oxidative stress to astrocytes in fenpropathrin-induced Parkinson-like damage. Neurochem Int 2021; 145:105000. [PMID: 33617931 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2021.105000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Fenpropathrin is an insecticide that is widely used in agriculture. It remains unknown whether fenpropathrin exposure increases the risk of Parkinson's disease. We found that fenpropathrin increased oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, fenpropathrin increased production of ROS, NOS2, and HO-1, and decreased SOD and GSH in astrocytes. We further found that fenpropathrin-mediated oxidative stress might inhibit autophagic flow, including decreased expression of LC3A/B and enhanced expression of SQSTM1 via down-regulation of CDK-5, an upstream marker of autophagy. In mice, autophagy was slightly different from that found in astrocytes, as reflected in the increased expressions of LC3A/B and SQSTM1. Our findings elucidate the toxicological phenomena and pathogenic mechanisms of fenpropathrin and may provide guidance for improved pesticide control and environmental protection.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the elderly population and represents a significant public health problem and socioeconomic burden worldwide. However, no disease-modifying therapeutics are currently available for OA due to an insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis of this disability. As a unique cell type in cartilage, chondrocytes are essential for cartilage homeostasis and play a critical role in OA pathogenesis. Mitochondria are important metabolic centers in chondrocytes and contribute to cell survival, and mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an emerging mechanism for maintaining cell homeostasis. An increasing number of recent studies have demonstrated that dysregulation of the key processes of chondrocyte MQC, which involve mitochondrial redox, biogenesis, dynamics, and mitophagy, is associated with OA pathogenesis and can be regulated by the chondroprotective molecules 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). Moreover, AMPK and SIRT3 regulate each other, and their expression and activity are always consistent in chondrocytes, which suggests the existence of an AMPK-SIRT3 positive feedback loop (PFL). Although the precise mechanisms are not fully elucidated and need further validation, the current literature indicates that this AMPK-SIRT3 PFL regulates OA development and progression, at least partially by mediating chondrocyte MQC. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of AMPK-SIRT3 PFL-mediated chondrocyte MQC in OA pathogenesis might yield new ideas and potential targets for subsequent research on the OA pathomechanism and therapeutics.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) ranks second among the most common neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive and selective loss of dopaminergic neurons. Various cross-species preclinical models, including cellular models and animal models, have been established through the decades to study the etiology and mechanism of the disease from cell lines to nonhuman primates. These models are aimed at developing effective therapeutic strategies for the disease. None of the current models can replicate all major pathological and clinical phenotypes of PD. Selection of the model for PD largely relies on our interest of study. In this review, we systemically summarized experimental PD models, including cellular and animal models used in preclinical studies, to understand the pathogenesis of PD. This review is intended to provide current knowledge about the application of these different PD models, with focus on their strengths and limitations with respect to their contributions to the assessment of the molecular pathobiology of PD and identification of the therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Abstract
Heart failure causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The underlying mechanisms and pathological changes associated with heart failure are exceptionally complex. Despite recent advances in heart failure research, treatment outcomes remain poor. The sirtuin family member sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) is involved in several key biological processes, including ATP production, catabolism, and reactive oxygen species detoxification. In addition to its role in metabolism, SIRT3 regulates cell death and survival and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Emerging evidence also shows that SIRT3 can protect cardiomyocytes from hypertrophy, ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac fibrosis, and impaired angiogenesis. In this review article, we summarize the recent advances in SIRT3 research and discuss the role of SIRT3 in heart failure. We also discuss the potential use of SIRT3 as a therapeutic target in heart failure.

Abstract
Numerous pathological changes of subcellular structures are characteristic hallmarks of neurodegeneration. The main research has focused to mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomal networks as well as microtubular system of the cell. The sequence of specific organelle damage during pathogenesis has not been answered yet. Exposition to rotenone is used for simulation of neurodegenerative changes in SH-SY5Y cells, which are widely used for in vitro modelling of Parkinson´s disease pathogenesis. Intracellular effects were investigated in time points from 0 to 24 h by confocal microscopy and biochemical analyses. Analysis of fluorescent images identified the sensitivity of organelles towards rotenone in this order: microtubular cytoskeleton, mitochondrial network, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomal network. All observed morphological changes of intracellular compartments were identified before alphaS protein accumulation. Therefore, their potential as an early diagnostic marker is of interest. Understanding of subcellular sensitivity in initial stages of neurodegeneration is crucial for designing new approaches and a management of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of Sirt3 gene knockout on Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mice. METHODS The animal model of AD was established by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose and brain-localized injection of amyloid β-protein (Aβ)1-40 in wild type C57BL/6 mice and Sirt3 gene knockout mice. Morris water maze, Y maze and tail suspension test were used to assess the cognitive function and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Aβ deposition in the hippocampus was detected by immunofluorescent staining. Western blotting analysis was conducted to detect the expression of related proteins in the brain. Mouse cortical primary neurons were cultured and AD cell model was established. MTT assay was used to detect cell viability after modeling. RESULTS Behavioral results showed that cognitive deficits were found in wide type mice after induction of AD as its prolonged escape latency (P<0.05) and decreased crossing number of platform and target zone duration (all P<0.05); while the knockout of Sirt3 alleviated cognitive deficit induced by AD (all P<0.05). Aβ immunofluorescence staining showed that the deposition of Aβ in the hippocampal region and expression of cleaved caspase 3 in the brain in Sirt3 knockout mice was reduced compared with that of wild type mice (all P<0.05). The expression of LC3-Ⅱ and P62 increased after AD was induced in wild type mice, while the autophagy in Sirt3 knockout mice was activated as the increase expression of LC3-Ⅱ and decrease expression of P62 (all P<0.05). In the AD cell model, the results of MTT assay were consistent with the animal experiments, and the protective effect of Sirt3 knockdown was eliminated after the treatment of the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The knockdown of Sirt3 shows a protective effect on AD induced by D-galactose and Aβ1-40 in mice, which may be related to its function of activating autophagy.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive. Current thinking suggests that the activation of microglia and the subsequent release of inflammatory factors, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), are involved in the pathogenesis of PD. P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) is a member of the P2X superfamily of ion channels activated by ATP. To study the possible effect of the ATP-P2X4R signal axis on IL-6 in PD, lentivirus carrying the P2X4R-overexpression gene or empty vector was injected into the substantia nigra (SN) of rats, followed by treatment of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or saline 1 week later. The research found the relative expression of P2X4R in the 6-OHDA-induced PD rat models was notably higher than that in the normal. And P2X4R overexpression could upregulate the expression of IL-6, reduce the amount of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the SN of PD rats, suggesting that P2X4R may mediate the production of IL-6 to damage DA neurons in the SN. Our data revealed the important role of P2X4R in modulating IL-6, which leads to neuroinflammation involved in PD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Sirtuins are class III histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes that target both histone and non-histone substrates. They are linked to different brain functions and the regulation of different isoforms of these enzymes is touted to be an emerging therapy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The level of sirtuins affects brain health as many sirtuin-regulated pathways are responsible for the progression of NDs. Certain sirtuins are also implicated in aging, which is a risk factor for many NDs. In addition to SIRT1-3, it has been suggested that the less studied sirtuins (SIRT4-7) also play critical roles in brain health. This review delineates the role of each sirtuin isoform in NDs from a disease centric perspective and provides an up-to-date overview of sirtuin modulators and their potential use as therapeutics in these diseases. Furthermore, the future perspectives for sirtuin modulator development and their therapeutic application in neurodegeneration are outlined in detail, hence providing a research direction for future studies.

Abstract
To explore the effects of copper (Cu) on energy metabolism and AMPK-mTOR pathway-mediated autophagy in kidney, a total of 240 one-day-old broiler chickens were randomized into four equal groups and fed on the diets with different levels of Cu (11, 110, 220, and 330 mg/kg) for 49 d. Results showed that excess Cu could induce vacuolar degeneration and increase the number of autophagosomes in kidney, and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level and mRNA levels of energy metabolism-related genes were decreased with the increasing dietary Cu level. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence showed that the positive expressions of Beclin1 and LC3-II were mainly located in cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells and increased significantly with the increasing levels of Cu. The mRNA levels of Beclin1, Atg5, LC3-I, LC3-II, Dynein and the protein levels of Beclin1, Atg5, LC3-II/LC3-I and p-AMPKα1/AMPKα1 were markedly elevated in treated groups compared with control group (11 mg/kg Cu). However, the mRNA and protein levels of p62 and p-mTOR/mTOR were significantly decreased with the increasing levels of Cu. These results suggest that impaired energy metabolism induced by Cu may lead to autophagy via AMPK-mTOR pathway in kidney of broiler chickens.

Pivotal Role of Fyn Kinase in Parkinson's Disease and Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia: a Novel Therapeutic Target? Mol Neurobiol 2020; 58:1372-1391.

Abstract
The exact etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains obscure, although many cellular mechanisms including α-synuclein aggregation, oxidative damage, excessive neuroinflammation, and dopaminergic neuronal apoptosis are implicated in its pathogenesis. There is still no disease-modifying treatment for PD and the gold standard therapy, chronic use of levodopa is usually accompanied by severe side effects, mainly levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Hence, the elucidation of the precise underlying molecular mechanisms is of paramount importance. Fyn is a tyrosine phospho-transferase of the Src family nonreceptor kinases that is highly implicated in immune regulation, cell proliferation and normal brain development. Accumulating preclinical evidence highlights the emerging role of Fyn in key aspects of PD and LID pathogenesis: it may regulate α-synuclein phosphorylation, oxidative stress-induced dopaminergic neuronal death, enhanced neuroinflammation and glutamate excitotoxicity by mediating key signaling pathways, such as BDNF/TrkB, PKCδ, MAPK, AMPK, NF-κB, Nrf2, and NMDAR axes. These findings suggest that therapeutic targeting of Fyn or Fyn-related pathways may represent a novel approach in PD treatment. Saracatinib, a nonselective Fyn inhibitor, has already been tested in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease, and novel selective Fyn inhibitors are under investigation. In this comprehensive review, we discuss recent evidence on the role of Fyn in the pathogenesis of PD and LID and provide insights on additional Fyn-related molecular mechanisms to be explored in PD and LID pathology that could aid in the development of future Fyn-targeted therapeutic approaches.
