Abstract
Heart failure is a condition where reduced levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) affect energy supply in myocardial cells. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) plays a crucial role as a coenzyme for electron transfer in energy metabolism. Decreased NAD+ levels in myocardial cells lead to inadequate ATP production and increased susceptibility to heart failure. Researchers are exploring ways to increase NAD+ levels to alleviate heart failure. Targets such as sirtuin2 (sirt2), sirtuin3 (sirt3), Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and diastolic regulatory proteins are being investigated. NAD+ supplementation has shown promise, even in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). By focusing on NAD+ as a central component of energy metabolism, it is possible to improve myocardial activity, heart function, and address energy deficiency in heart failure.

Chamgordani MK, Bardestani A, Ebrahimpour S, Esmaeili A. In diabetic male Wistar rats, quercetin-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have an effect on the SIRT1/p66Shc-mediated pathway related to cognitive impairment. BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2023; 24:81. [PMID: 38129872 PMCID: PMC10734159 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-023-00725-3] [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: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Quercetin (QC) possesses a variety of health-promoting effects in pure and in conjugation with nanoparticles. Since the mRNA-SIRT1/p66Shc pathway and microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the oxidative process, we aimed to compare the effects of QC and QC-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (QCSPIONs) on this pathway. METHODS Through the use of the chemical coprecipitation technique (CPT), SPIONs were synthesized, coated with dextran, and conjugated with quercetin. Adult male Wistar rats were given intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin to look for signs of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The animals were randomized into five groups: the control group got deionized water (DI), free QC solution (25 mg/kg), SPIONs (25 mg/kg), and QCSPIONs (25 mg/kg), and all groups received repeat doses administered orally over 35 days. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to assess the levels of miR-34a, let-7a-p5, SIRT1, p66Shc, CASP3, and PARP1 expression in the hippocampus of diabetic rats. RESULTS In silico investigations identified p66Shc, CASP3, and PARP1 as targets of let-7a-5p and miR-34a as possible regulators of SIRT1 genes. The outcomes demonstrated that diabetes elevated miR-34a, p66Shc, CASP3, and PARP1 and downregulated let-7a-5p and SIRT1 expression. In contrast to the diabetic group, QCSPIONs boosted let-7a-5p expression levels and consequently lowered p66Shc, CASP3, and PARP1 expression levels. QCSPIONs also reduced miR-34a expression, which led to an upsurge in SIRT1 expression. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that QCSPIONs can regulate the SIRT1/p66Shc-mediated signaling pathway and can be considered a promising candidate for ameliorating the complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia-induced aberrant glucose metabolism is a causative factor of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. The pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK)-lactic acid axis is regarded as a critical link between metabolic reprogramming and the pathogenic process of neurological disorders. However, its role in diabetic neuropathy remains unclear. Here, we found that PDK1 and phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) were obviously increased in high glucose (HG)-stimulated primary neurons and Neuro-2a cell line. Acetyl-coA, a central metabolic intermediate, might enhance PDK1 expression via histone H3K9 acetylation modification in HG condition. The epigenetic regulation of PDK1 expression provided an available negative feedback pattern in response to HG environment-triggered mitochondrial metabolic overload. However, neuronal PDK1 was decreased in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Our data showed that the expression of PDK1 also depended on the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) transcriptional activation under the HG condition. However, HIF-1 was significantly reduced in the hippocampus of diabetic mice, which might explain the opposite expression of PDK1 in vivo. Importantly, overexpression of PDK1 reduced HG-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and neuronal apoptosis. Enhancing PDK1 expression in the hippocampus ameliorated STZ-induced cognitive impairment and neuronal degeneration in mice. Together, our study demonstrated that both acetyl-coA-induced histone acetylation and HIF-1 are necessary to direct PDK1 expression, and enhancing PDK1 may have a protective effect on cognitive recovery in diabetic mice. Schematic representation of the protective effect of PDK1 on hyperglycemia-induced neuronal injury and memory loss. High glucose enhanced the expression of PDK1 in an acetyl-coA-dependent histone acetylation modification to avoid mitochondrial metabolic overload and ROS release. However, the decrease of HIF-1 may impair the upregulation of PDK1 under hyperglycemia condition. Overexpression of PDK1 prevented hyperglycemia-induced hippocampal neuronal injury and memory loss in diabetic mice.

Xu X, Li C, Zou J, Liu L. MiR-34a targets SIRT1 to reduce p53 deacetylation and promote sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia-induced neuronal autophagy and apoptosis in neonatal mice. Exp Neurol 2023; 368:114482. [PMID: 37467842 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114482] [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: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
This study is to investigate the function of miR-34a and interactions between miR-34a, SIRT1, and p53 in sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and autophagy in neonatal mice. A mouse model was established by inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and injected with genetic reagents, followed by tests of learning and memory abilities and histological staining of the hippocampus. CCK-8 and AnnexinV/PI staining respectively measured the survival and apoptosis rates of primary hippocampal neurons cultured with sevoflurane. The expression levels of miR-34a, SIRT1, p53, Ac-p53, and autophagy- or apoptosis-related proteins were measured. Sevoflurane impaired the learning and memory abilities of mice, increased TUNEL-positive cells in their hippocampus, and hindered the survival of hippocampal neurons. Sevoflurane increased miR-34a, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and reduced SIRT1 and p62. MiR-34a overexpression promoted sevoflurane-induced neural damage, whereas SIRT1 inhibition or p53 upregulation counteracted the neuroprotection of miR-34a knockdown. SIRT1 was a target of miR-34a and promoted p53 deacetylation. MiR-34a promotes sevoflurane-stimulated neuronal apoptosis and autophagy in neonatal mice by inhibiting SIRT1 expression and subsequent p53 deacetylation.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common nerve disorder of diabetes. The aim of this study was to explore the protective effects of tropisetron in DPN. Type 1 diabetes was created by a single injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, ip). Tropisetron (3 mg/kg, ip) was administered daily for 2 weeks. Our analysis showed that nerve fibers and their myelin sheaths were thinned with decreased myelinated fiber number in diabetic animals. The intensity of Bcl-2 staining decreased and the intensity of Bax staining increased in the sciatic nerves of diabetic rats by using immunohistochemical staining. Furthermore, diabetes significantly increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-β (TNFα and IL-1β) and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in sciatic nerves of rats. However, intraperitoneal injection of tropisetron significantly reversed these alterations induced by diabetes. These findings suggest that tropisetron attenuates diabetes-induced peripheral nerve injury through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, and may provide a novel therapeutic strategy to ameliorate the process of peripheral neuropathy in diabetes.

Abstract
Chemo fog is one of the most serious health concerns encountered by cancer survivors receiving doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy. Oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis and impairment of synaptic plasticity are regarded as the key factors implicated in DOX-induced cognitive impairment. This research aimed to assess the possible neuroprotective effect of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) against DOX-induced neurotoxicity. Forty-eight rats were divided into four groups (12 rats/group): control group, CeNPs group (received oral CeNPs solution (35 mg/kg) daily for 4 weeks), and DOX group (were administered DOX intraperitoneally (2 mg/kg, once/week for 4 weeks)) and DOX+ CeNPs group. The findings revealed that CeNPs mitigated behavioral alterations in DOX-induced cognitive deficit. Additionally, CeNPs alleviated the histopathological abnormalities in hippocampus and ameliorated DOX-induced neuroinflammation by downregulating the expression of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL6. In addition, CeNPs antagonized the apoptosis through reducing the protein expression of cytochrome c and caspase 3. In addition, it stimulated the antioxidant defense, as indicated by upregulating the expression of the Nrf2, HO-1 and PGC-1α genes. CeNPs improved synaptic plasticity via acting on the BDNF. These actions were related through the modification of SIRT-1 expression. Based on the aforementioned results, CeNPs antagonized the doxorubicin-induced neurodegeneration by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects, alongside its SIRT-1 mediated mechanisms.

Abstract
Integration of omics data and deciphering the mechanism of a biological regulatory network could be a promising approach to reveal the molecular mechanism involved in the progression of complex diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Despite having an overlapping mechanism in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), the exact mechanism and signaling molecules behind them are still unknown. Further, the acetylation mechanism and histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes provide a positive direction toward studying the shared phenomenon between AD and PD pathogenesis. For instance, increased expression of HDACs causes a decrease in protein acetylation status, resulting in decreased cognitive and memory function. Herein, we employed an integrative approach to analyze the transcriptomics data that established a potential relationship between AD and PD. Data preprocessing and analysis of four publicly available microarray datasets revealed 10 HUB proteins, namely, CDC42, CD44, FGFR1, MYO5A, NUMA1, TUBB4B, ARHGEF9, USP5, INPP5D, and NUP93, that may be involved in the shared mechanism of AD and PD pathogenesis. Further, we identified the relationship between the HUB proteins and transcription factors that could be involved in the overlapping mechanism of AD and PD. CREB1 and HINFP were the crucial regulatory transcription factors that were involved in the AD and PD crosstalk. Further, lysine acetylation sites and HDAC enzyme prediction revealed the involvement of 15 and 27 potential lysine residues of CREB1 and HINFP, respectively. Our results highlighted the importance of HDAC1(K292) and HDAC6(K330) association with CREB1 and HINFP, respectively, in the AD and PD crosstalk. However, different datasets with a large number of samples and wet lab experimentation are required to validate and pinpoint the exact role of CREB1 and HINFP in the AD and PD crosstalk. It is also possible that the different datasets may or may not affect the results due to analysis parameters. In conclusion, our study potentially highlighted the crucial proteins, transcription factors, biological pathways, lysine residues, and HDAC enzymes shared between AD and PD at the molecular level. The findings can be used to study molecular studies to identify the possible relationship in the AD-PD crosstalk.

Abstract
Exercise training exerts protective effects against diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate whether exercise training could attenuate diabetic renal injury via regulating endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) production. First, C57BL/6 mice were allocated into the control, diabetes, exercise, and diabetes + exercise groups. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Treadmill exercise continued for four weeks. Second, mice was allocated into the control, diabetes, H2 S and diabetes + H2 S groups. H2 S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) was intraperitoneally injected once daily for four weeks. STZ-induced diabetic mice exhibited glomerular hypertrophy, tissue fibrosis and increased urine albumin levels, urine protein- and albumin-to-creatinine ratios, which were relieved by exercise training. Diabetic renal injury was associated with apoptotic cell death, as evidenced by the enhanced caspase-3 activity, the increased TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling -positive cells and the reduced expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, all of which were attenuated by exercise training. Exercise training enhanced renal sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression in diabetic mice, accompanied by an inhibition of the p53-#ediated pro-apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, exercise training restored the STZ-mediated downregulation of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and the reduced renal H2 S production. NaHS treatment restored SIRT1 expression, inhibited the p53-mediated pro-apoptotic pathway and attenuated diabetes-associated apoptosis and renal injury. In high glucose-treated MPC5 podocytes, NaHS treatment inhibited the p53-mediated pro-apoptotic pathway and podocyte apoptosis in a SIRT1-dependent manner. Collectively, exercise training upregulated CBS/CSE expression and enhanced the endogenous H2 S production in renal tissues, thereby contributing to the modulation of the SIRT1/p53 apoptosis pathway and improvement of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Neuroprotective effect of astaxanthin-s-allyl cysteine diester (AST-SAC) against high glucose (HG)-induced oxidative stress in in vitro and cognitive decline under diabetes conditions in in vivo has been explored. Pretreatment of AST-SAC (5, 10 and 15 μM) dose-dependently preserved the neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y) viability against HG toxicity through i) decreasing oxidative stress (decreasing reactive oxygen species generation and increasing endogenous antioxidants level); ii) protecting mitochondrial function [oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes activity and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)]; and iii) decreasing p53 level thereby subsequently decreasing the level of apoptotic marker proteins. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were orally administered AST-SAC (1 mg/kg/day) for 45 days in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. AST-SAC administration prevented the loss of spatial memory in DM rats as determined using the novel object location test. AST-SAC administration alleviated the DM-induced injury in brain such as increased cholinesterases activity, elevated oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Altogether, the results from the present study demonstrated that AST-SAC averted the neuronal apoptosis and preserved the cognitive function against HG toxicity under DM conditions.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the principal manifestations of metabolic syndrome and its prevalence with modern lifestyle is increasing incessantly. Chronic hyperglycemia can induce several vascular complications that were referred to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality in DM. Although several therapeutic targets have been identified and accessed clinically, the imminent risk of DM and its prevalence are still ascending. Substantial pieces of evidence revealed that histone deacetylase (HDAC) isoforms can regulate various molecular activities in DM via epigenetic and post-translational regulation of several transcription factors. To date, 18 HDAC isoforms have been identified in mammals that were categorized into four different classes. Classes I, II, and IV are regarded as classical HDACs, which operate through a Zn-based mechanism. In contrast, class III HDACs or Sirtuins depend on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) for their molecular activity. Functionally, most of the HDAC isoforms can regulate β cell fate, insulin release, insulin expression and signaling, and glucose metabolism. Moreover, the roles of HDAC members have been implicated in the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and other pathological events, which substantially contribute to diabetes-related vascular dysfunctions. Therefore, HDACs could serve as the potential therapeutic target in DM towards developing novel intervention strategies. This review sheds light on the emerging role of HDACs/isoforms in diabetic pathophysiology and emphasized the scope of their targeting in DM for constituting novel interventional strategies for metabolic disorders/complications.

Swimming training attenuates pancreatic apoptosis through miR-34a/Sirtu in1/P53 Axis in high-fat diet and Streptozotocin-induced Type-2 diabetic rats. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2021; 19:1439-1446. [PMID: 33520845 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-020-00670-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Objective The present study sought to evaluate the miR-34a/Sirtuin1/p53 pro-apoptotic pathway, and reveal its modulation in diabetic rats undergoing swimming exercise. Methods Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. They were inducted to develop diabetes by injection of streptozotocin. After 12 weeks of swimming, the pancreatic tissue of these rats were removed to be evaluated for the expression level of Sitruin1/P53/miR-34a through qPCR. Results Findings indicated a marked rise in the expression of miR-34 and P53 (P < 0.01) as well as a significant decrease in expression of Sitruin1 (P < 0.01) in the diabetic group. In contrast, swimming resulted in a significant decrease in miR-34a expression (P < 0.01), and a prominent rise in the level of Sitruin1 in the swimming-trained-diabetic group (P < 0.01). Additionally, high, moderate and low apoptosis rate were observed in the pancreatic tissue of the diabetic, swimming-trained diabetic, and control groups, respectively. Conclusion Our findings suggested a correlation between pancreatic tissue apoptosis rate and miR-34a/Sitruin1/p53 signaling, that was subject to modulation by training. Graphical abstract

[PMID: 33460662 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Cognitive decline is one of the most challenging issues for cancer survivors undergoing doxorubicin (DOX) based chemotherapy. Oxidative stress and inflammation primarily through tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) are considered the key contributors to DOX-induced chemobrain. Berberine (BBR) has attracted much interest because of its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic actions. This study aimed to evaluate the potential neuroprotective effect of BBR in DOX-induced neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemobrain was induced by DOX i.p. injection at the dose of 2 mg/kg, once/week, for four consecutive weeks. Rats were treated with BBR (100 mg/kg, p.o.) for 5 days/week for four consecutive weeks. KEY FINDINGS BBR significantly attenuated behavioral defects in DOX-induced cognitive impairment. Besides, BBR reversed histopathological abnormalities. Mechanistically, it reversed DOX-induced neuroinflammation by attenuating NF-κB gene and protein expression in addition to diminishing expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-α and IL-1β), as well as apoptotic related factors (Bax, Bcl2 and Bax/Bcl2 ratio). Additionally, BBR activated the anti-oxidative defense via upregulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). BBR improved synaptic plasticity through cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These effects were related through the modulation of Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) expression. SIGNIFICANCE BBR is highlighted to induce neuroprotection against DOX-induced cognitive decline through modulating brain growth factors and imposing an anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative effects.

Astragaloside IV Inhibits Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptosis of the Dorsal Root Ganglion in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Rats Through Modulation of the SIRT1/p53 Signaling Pathway. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2021; 14:1647-1661.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglion of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats through the SIRT1/p53 pathway. METHODS Diabetic rat model was induced by high-carbohydrate/high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of STZ. Diabetic rats were divided into three groups (n =16 per group): DPN group, AS-IV group (60mg/kg/d) and α-lipoic acid (ALA) group (60mg/kg/d). Weight and blood glucose levels were monitored every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. DPN was evaluated using the Von Frey Filaments Test and nerve conduction velocity. The dorsal root ganglia of rats were isolated and the pathological changes of mitochondria were observed by electron microscopy. The activity of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex, mitochondrial membrane potential, malonaldehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured. Neural apoptosis was detected using the Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay kit. The cleaved caspase-3, major proteins in the SIRT1/p53 pathway, including SIRT1, acetyl p53, Drp1, BAX, and BCL-2, were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Gene expression of major proteins in the SIRT1/p53 pathway was also detected. RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment, AS-IV and ALA did not significantly affect body weight or fasting glucose levels, but reduced mechanical abnormal pain in DPN and improved nerve conduction velocity. AS-IV and ALA increased the level of GSH and decreased the level of MDA. Both AS-IV and ALA can reduce mitochondrial damage, improve mitochondrial electron transport chain complex activity and mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduce the percentages of positive cells with DNA fragmentation and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein. AS-IV and ALA up-regulated the expression of SIRT1 and down-regulated the expression of acetyl-p53, Drp1 and the ratio of BAX to BCL-2. Changes in gene expression were similar. CONCLUSION AS-IV can reduce the occurrence of mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis by regulating the SIRT1/p53 pathway. It has a similar therapeutic effect as ALA and is therefore a promising drug for the potential treatment of DPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common diseases in the worldwide. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by insulin deficiency and beta cells apoptosis. Tropisetron as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist has positive effects on the inflammation, apoptosis and glucose lowering. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tropisetron on β-cells apoptosis and its possible pathways. METHODS Animals were divided into five equal groups: the control, tropisetron, diabetes, tropisetron-DM and glibenclamide-DM (seven in each group). Tropisetron and glibenclamide were administrated for 2 weeks after type 1 diabetes induction. Real-time PCR, western blot analysis and TUNEL assay were performed. RESULTS We found that tropisetron decreased blood glucose and increased insulin secretion. Protein expression of NF-κB was downregulated, while protein expression of SIRT1 upregulated after tropisetron treatment. Moreover, Bax/Bcl2 ratio decreased in tropisetron-DM group and finally, apoptosis improved in pancreas tissue. CONCLUSIONS It seems that tropisetron administration improves STZ-induced apoptosis and diabetes in the animals. This effect might be resulted from involvement in NF-κB/ SIRT1 pathway.

Abstract
A relatively large number of diabetic patients risk complications of clinical depression that lead to poorer quality of life, however the precise mechanisms for diabetes-associated depression are not fully understood. Links between hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation have been reported in the pathogenesis of diabetes. The present study aimed to elucidate the contribution of NLRP3-mediated apoptotic/pyroptotic neuronal cell death to diabetes-associated depression. We found that depressive-like behavior in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice was associated with hippocampal NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Hyperglycemia increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thus leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in hippocampal neurons. It was found that STZ treatment induced apoptotic and pyroptotic cell death in the hippocampus as evidenced by increases of cleaved caspase 3 positive hippocampal neurons, TUNEL-positive cells, protein levels of p53, Bax, Puma, and the cleaved GSDMD N-terminal fragment, all of which were decreased in NLRP3 deficient mice. Using murine hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22, we found that high glucose induced apoptotic and pyroptotic cell death in a NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent manner in vitro. In addition, NLRP3 deficiency alleviated depressive-like behavior in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Our results suggest that hyperglycemia results in apoptosis and pyroptosis of hippocampal neuron cells in a NLRP3-dependent manner, which was associated with the depressive phenotypes evoked by STZ-induced diabetes. The study identifies a novel function of NLRP3 activation in high glucose-induced neuronal cell death, which sheds further light on the pathogenesis and new therapeutic targets of diabetes-associated depression.

Abstract
SIRT1 exhibits inhibitory effects on microglial activation-induced neurodegeneration. Regulating SIRT1 may become a novel approach for curing neurodegenerative diseases. Protocatechuic acid (PA), a phenolic acid, has anti-neuroinflammatory effects. The effect of PA on SIRT1 in activated microglia remains unknown. Here, we examined whether PA has anti-inflammatory effects against microglial activation-induced neuronal cell death via regulating SIRT1 in microglia. We found that PA inhibited the release of inflammatory mediators in LPS-activated BV2 microglia via the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway and thereby attenuated microglial activation-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. This suggests that SIRT1 mediates the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of PA to ameliorate microglial activation-induced neuron death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has a determinantal effect on human dental pulp stromal cells (hDPSCs), including affecting their longevity and functionality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an essential role in stromal cell behavior; however, the exact mechanism in which circRNAs functions within hDPSCs were undergoing oxidative stress remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the global changes and characteristics of circRNAs in hDPSCs undergoing oxidative stress. METHODS Using an oxidative stress model of hDPSCs, we applied microarray analysis to examine the circRNAs profiles. We confirmed the changes in circRNAs by quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, bioinformatics tools, including a miRcode map, TargetScan, gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, were reconstructed for further assessment. SIRT1 gene and protein expression were tested by qRT-PCR and In Cell-Western analysis. RESULTS We revealed 330 upregulated, and 533 downregulated circRNAs undergoing oxidative stress in hDPSCs and confirmed three circRNAs distinct expressions (hsa_circ_0000257, hsa_circ_0087354, and hsa_circ_0001946) in hDPSCs undergoing oxidative stress by qRT-PCR. GO, and KEGG pathway enrichment revealed the differentially expressed circRNAs might participate in p53 and cell cycle signaling networks associated with oxidative stress. SIRT1 gene and protein expression was reduced in the oxidatively stressed cells (OSC) group compared to untreated cells (UC). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study has provided new insights into circRNAs and a basis for further studies assessing the potential functions of hsa_circ_0000257, hsa_circ_0087354, and hsa_circ_0001946 in oxidatively stressed hDPSCs.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia-induced neuronal apoptosis is one of the important reasons for diabetic neuropathy. Long-time exposure to high glucose accelerates many aberrant glucose metabolic pathways and eventually leads to neuronal injury. However, the underlying mechanisms of metabolic alterations remain unknown. TP53-inducible glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) is an endogenous inhibitor of glycolysis and increases the flux of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) by regulating glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). TIGAR is highly expressed in neurons, but its role in hyperglycemia-induced neuronal injury is still unclear. In this study, we observed that TIGAR and G6PD are decreased in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Correspondingly, in cultured primary neurons and Neuro-2a cell line, stimulation with high glucose induced significant neuronal apoptosis and down-regulation of TIGAR expression. Overexpression of TIGAR reduced the number of TUNEL-positive neurons and prevented the activation of Caspase-3 in cultured neurons. Furthermore, enhancing the expression of TIGAR rescued high glucose-induced autophagy impairment and the decrease of G6PD. Nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1), a negative regulator of autophagy, is also inhibited by overexpression of TIGAR. Inhibition of autophagy abolished the protective effect of TIGAR in neuronal apoptosis in Neuro-2a. Importantly, overexpression of TIGAR in the hippocampus ameliorated STZ-induced cognitive impairment in mice. Therefore, our data demonstrated that TIGAR may have an anti-apoptosis effect via up-regulation of autophagy in diabetic neuropathy.

J Diabetes 2019; 11:563-572. [PMID: 30520247 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.12881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2018] [Revised: 11/19/2018] [Accepted: 11/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment with GABA or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) can preserve pancreatic β-cell mass and prevent diabetes. Recently, we reported that the combination of GABA and sitagliptin (a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that increases endogenous GLP-1) was more effective than either agent alone in reducing drug-induced β-cell damage and promoting β-cell regeneration in mice. However, in human islets, it remains unclear whether GABA and GLP-1 exert similar effects. METHODS To investigate GABA and GLP-1 interactions, human islets or INS-1 cells were treated with GABA and/or exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) in clinical use, and incubated with a cytokine mixture for 24 hours. Cleaved caspase-3 and annexin V binding were measured by western blot and flow cytometry analysis, respectively, to investigate effects on cytokine-induced apoptosis. RESULTS Cytokine-induced apoptosis was reduced by either GABA or exendin-4 alone. This was markedly improved by combining GABA and exendin-4, resulting in a reversal of apoptosis. The combination notably increased Akt pathway signaling. Furthermore, sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and α-Klotho, both reported to have protective effects on β-cells, were increased. Importantly, the combination ameliorated insulin secretion by human β-cells. CONCLUSIONS The combination of GABA and a GLP-1RA exerted additive effects on β-cell survival and function, suggesting that this combination may be superior to either drug alone in the treatment of diabetes.

Suppression of SIRT1 in Diabetic Conditions Induces Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells via RUNX2 Signalling. Sci Rep 2019; 9:878.

Abstract
Vascular calcification is associated with significant morbidity and mortality within diabetes, involving activation of osteogenic regulators and transcription factors. Recent evidence demonstrates the beneficial role of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+ dependant deacetylase, in improved insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, linking hyperglycaemia and SIRT1 downregulation. This study aimed to determine the role of SIRT1 in vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) calcification within the diabetic environment. An 80% reduction in SIRT1 levels was observed in patients with diabetes, both in serum and the arterial smooth muscle layer, whilst both RUNX2 and Osteocalcin levels were elevated. Human vSMCs exposed to hyperglycaemic conditions in vitro demonstrated enhanced calcification, which was positively associated with the induction of cellular senescence, verified by senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity and cell cycle markers p16 and p21. Activation of SIRT1 by SRT1720 reduced Alizarin red staining by a third, via inhibition of the RUNX2 pathway and prevention of senescence. Conversely, inhibition of SIRT1 via Sirtinol and siRNA increased RUNX2 by over 50%. These findings demonstrate the key role that SIRT1 plays in preventing calcification in a diabetic environment, through the inhibition of RUNX2 and senescence pathways, suggesting a downregulation of SIRT1 may be responsible for perpetuating vascular calcification in diabetes.

Abstract
Delayed wound healing in diabetic patients is a serious diabetic complication, resulting in major health problems as well as high mortality and disability. The detailed mechanism still needs to be fully understood. In this study, we aim to investigate potential mechanisms and explore an efficient strategy for clinical treatment of diabetic wound healing. Human umbilical endothelial cells were exposed to hyperglycemia for 4 days, then switched to normoglycemia for an additional 4 days. The cells were harvested for the analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, gene expression and VEGF signaling pathway. Furthermore, the diabetic wound model was established in rats for the evaluation of wound healing rates under the treatment of either ERβ agonist/antagonist or SOD mimetic MnTBAP. Our results show that transient hyperglycemia exposure results in persistent ROS overgeneration after the switch to normoglycemia, along with suppressed expression of ERβ, SOD2, and the VEGF signaling pathway. Either ERβ expression or activation diminishes ROS generation. In vivo experiments with diabetic rats show that ERβ activation or SOD mimetic MnTBAP diminishes ROS generation in tissues and accelerates diabetic wound healing. Transient hyperglycemia exposure induces ROS generation and suppresses ERβ expression, subsequently resulting in SOD2 suppression with additional elevated ROS generation. This forms a positive-feed forward loop for ROS generation with persistent oxidative stress. ERβ expression or activation breaks this loop and ameliorates this effect, thereby accelerating diabetic wound healing. We conclude that ERβ accelerates diabetic wound healing by ameliorating hyperglycemia-induced persistent oxidative stress. This provides a new strategy for clinical treatment of diabetic wound healing based on ERβ activation.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2019; 10:121. [PMID: 30930849 PMCID: PMC6424908 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2019.00121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Accepted: 02/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is an evolutionarily conserved enzymes with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+-dependent deacetylase activity. SIRT1 is involved in a large variety of cellular processes, such as genomic stability, energy metabolism, senescence, gene transcription, and oxidative stress. SIRT1 has long been recognized as both a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor. Its prognostic role in cancers remains controversial. Methods: A meta-analysis of 13,138 subjects in 63 articles from PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was performed to evaluate survival and clinicopathological significance of SIRT1 expression in various cancers. Results: The pooled results of meta-analysis showed that elevated expression of SIRT1 implies a poor overall survival (OS) of cancer patients [Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.566, 95% CI: 1.293-1.895, P < 0.0001], disease free survival (DFS) (HR = 1.631, 95% CI: 1.250-2.130, P = 0.0003), event free survival (EFS) (HR = 2.534, 95% CI: 1.602-4.009, P = 0.0001), and progress-free survival (PFS) (HR = 3.325 95% CI: 2.762-4.003, P < 0.0001). Elevated SIRT1 level was associated with tumor stage [Relative Risk (RR) = 1.299, 95% CI: 1.114-1.514, P = 0.0008], lymph node metastasis (RR = 1.172, 95% CI: 1.010-1.360, P = 0.0363), and distant metastasis (RR = 1.562, 95% CI: 1.022-2.387, P = 0.0392). Meta-regression and subgroup analysis revealed that ethnic background has influence on the role of SIRT1 expression in predicting survival and clinicopathological characteristics of cancers. Overexpression of SIRT1 predicted a worse OS and higher TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis in Asian population especially in China. Conclusion: Our data suggested that elevated expression of SIRT1 predicted a poor OS, DFS, EFS, PFS, but not for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CCS). SIRT1 overexpression was associated with higher tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis. SIRT1-mediated molecular events and biological processes could be an underlying mechanism for metastasis and SIRT1 is a therapeutic target for inhibiting metastasis, leading to good prognosis.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced apoptosis of airway epithelial cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Furthermore, autophagy is closely related to ERS under apoptosis. Here, this study aimed to investigate the role of the reciprocal interaction between autophagy and ERS in the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced apoptosis of human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry analysis. Protein expression was examined by Western blot. The mRNA expression was detected using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The results showed that CSE treatment induced apoptosis, autophagy, and expression of ERS-related proteins in HBE cells. Furthermore, autophagy inhibition by 3-MA significantly decreased protein expression of GRP78, p-PERK, and p-eIF2α and increased CHOP, ATF4, and caspase-4, whereas ERS inhibition by 4-PBA led to autophagy suppression. Moreover, the CSE-induced autophagy was diminished by knockdown of GRP78, PERK, or eIF2α but enhanced by knockdown of ATF4 or CHOP; however, the CSE-induced HBE apoptosis was enhanced by knockdown of GRP78, PERK, or eIF2α but was attenuated by knockdown of ATF4 or CHOP. Additionally, both sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) and melatonin attenuated the CSE-induced apoptosis, enhanced the CSE-induced autophagy, increased GRP78, p-PERK, and p-eIF2α, and decreased CHOP, ATF4, and caspase-4, via SIRT1/ORP150 pathway. Collectively, this study provided evidence about the role of the reciprocal interaction between autophagy and ERS in CSE-induced apoptosis of HBE cells. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 71(1):66-80, 2019.

Abstract
The literature review presented here details recent research involving members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of proteins. Among the 17 recognized members of the family, the human enzyme PARP1 is the most extensively studied, resulting in a number of known biological and metabolic roles. This review is focused on the roles played by PARP enzymes in host-pathogen interactions and in diseases with an associated inflammatory response. In mammalian cells, several PARPs have specific roles in the antiviral response; this is perhaps best illustrated by PARP13, also termed the zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP). Plant stress responses and immunity are also regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. PARPs promote inflammatory responses by stimulating proinflammatory signal transduction pathways that lead to the expression of cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Hence, PARP inhibitors show promise in the treatment of inflammatory disorders and conditions with an inflammatory component, such as diabetes, arthritis, and stroke. These functions are correlated with the biophysical characteristics of PARP family enzymes. This work is important in providing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis of pathogenesis and host responses, as well as in the identification of inhibitors. This is important because the identification of inhibitors has been shown to be effective in arresting the progression of disease.

Abstract
Sirtuins are evolutionarily conserved proteins that use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a co-substrate in their enzymatic reactions. There are seven proteins (SIRT1-7) in the human sirtuin family, among which SIRT1 is the most conserved and characterized. SIRT1 in the brain, in particular, within the hypothalamus, plays crucial roles in regulating systemic energy homeostasis and circadian rhythm. Apart from this, SIRT1 has also been found to mediate beneficial effects in neurological diseases. In this review, we will first summarize how SIRT1 in the brain relates to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and circadian synchronization, and then we discuss the neuroprotective roles of brain SIRT1 in the context of cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
17β-Estradiol (E2) is the major estrogen secreted by the premenopausal ovary and shows dual effects on cell apoptosis under pathological conditions. E2 was previously shown to increase CD38 mRNA and protein expression in myometrial smooth muscle, but its function and mechanism remain largely unknown. Here we investigated the role of E2 in hypoxia-induced apoptosis in mouse airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) and explored the underlying mechanisms. Results showed that E2 significantly increased CD38 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, accompanied with decreased SIRT1 levels in ASMCs. By using primary ASMCs from the wild type (WT) and the smooth muscle-specific CD38 knockout (CD38 KO) mice, we found that the down-regulation of SIRT1 induced by E2 was abolished in CD38 KO AMSCs. E2 promoted the acetylation of p53 in WT cells, and this effect was also diminished in the absence of CD38. In addition, E2 further activated CD38/SIRT1/p53 signal pathway and promoted cell apoptosis during hypoxia. However, these effects were reversed in CD38 KO ASMCs and by the specific SIRT1 activator Resveratrol. We also found that E2 enhanced CD38 expression through estrogen receptor. The data suggested that CD38 is a direct target for E2 which promotes hypoxia-induced AMSC apoptosis through SIRT1/p53 signal pathway.
