Abstract
From studies of individual families to global collaborative efforts, the NLRP3 inflammasome is now recognized to be a key regulator of innate immunity. Activated by a panoply of pathogen-associated and endogenous triggers, NLRP3 serves as an intracellular sensor that drives carefully coordinated assembly of the inflammasome, and downstream inflammation mediated by IL-1 and IL-18. Initially discovered as the cause of the autoinflammatory spectrum of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), NLRP3 is now also known to play a role in more common diseases including cardiovascular disease, gout, and liver disease. We have seen cohesion in results from clinical studies in CAPS patients, ex vivo studies of human cells and murine cells, and in vivo murine models leading to our understanding of the downstream pathways, cytokine secretion, and cell death pathways that has solidified the role of autoinflammation in the pathogenesis of human disease. Recent advances in our understanding of the structure of the inflammasome have provided ways for us to visualize normal and mutant protein function and pharmacologic inhibition. The subsequent development of targeted therapies successfully used in the treatment of patients with CAPS completes the bench to bedside translational loop which has defined the study of this unique protein.

Abstract
NLRP3 inflammasome, an intracellular multiprotein complex, can be activated by a range of pathogenic microbes or endogenous hazardous chemicals. Its activation results in the release of cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18, as well as Gasdermin D which eventually causes pyroptosis. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is under strict control and regulation by numerous pathways and mechanisms. Its excessive activation can lead to a persistent inflammatory response, which is linked to the onset and progression of severe illnesses. Recent studies have revealed that the subcellular localization of NLRP3 changes significantly during the activation process. In this review, we review the current understanding of the molecular mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, focusing on the subcellular localization of NLRP3 and the associated regulatory mechanisms. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic transportation, activation, and degradation processes of NLRP3.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of enzymes that cleave acyl groups from lysine residues of histone and non-histone proteins. There are 18 human HDAC isoforms with different cellular targets and functions. Among them, HDAC6 was found to be overexpressed in different types of cancer. However, when used in monotherapy, HDAC6 inhibition by selective inhibitors fails to show pronounced anti-cancer effects. The HDAC6 enzyme also addresses non-histone proteins like α-tubulin and cortactin, making it important for cell migration and angiogenesis. Recently, the NLRP3 inflammasome was identified as an important regulator of inflammation and immune responses and, importantly, HDAC6 is critically involved the activation of the inflammasome. We herein report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a library of selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Starting from the previously published crystal structure of MAIP-032 in complex with CD2 of zHDAC6, we performed docking studies to evaluate additional possible interactions of the cap group with the L1-loop pocket. Based on the results we synthesized 13 novel HDAC6 inhibitors via the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three component reaction as the key step. Compounds 8k (HDAC1 IC50: 5.87 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.024 μM; selectivity factor (SF1/6): 245) and 8m (HDAC1 IC50: 3.07 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.026 μM; SF1/6: 118) emerged as the most potent and selective inhibitors of HDAC6 and outperformed the lead structure MAIP-032 (HDAC1 IC50: 2.20 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.058 μM; SF1/6: 38) both in terms of inhibitory potency and selectivity. Subsequent immunoblot analysis confirmed the high selectivity of 8k and 8m for HDAC6 in a cellular environment. While neither 8k and 8m nor the selectivity HDAC6 inhibitor tubastatin A showed antiproliferative effects in the U-87 MG glioblastoma cell line, compound 8m attenuated cell migration significantly in wound healing assays in U-87 MG cells. Moreover, in macrophages compounds 8k and 8m demonstrated significant inhibition of LPS-induced IL1B mRNA expression and TNF release. These findings suggest that our imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-capped HDAC6 inhibitors may serve as promising candidates for the development of drugs to effectively treat NLRP3 inflammasome-driven inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background and Objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and irreversible condition characterized by the deposition of extracellular matrix resulting from repetitive damage to the alveolar epithelium. These injuries, along with dysregulated wound repair and fibroblast dysfunction, lead to continuous tissue remodeling and fibrosis, eventually resulting in end-stage pulmonary fibrosis. Currently, there is no specific pharmacological treatment available for IPF. The role of inflammation in the development of IPF is still a topic of debate, and it is sometimes considered incidental to fibrosis. Over the past decade, macrophages have emerged as significant contributors to the pathogenesis of fibrosis. M1 macrophages are responsible for wound healing following alveolar epithelial injury, while M2 macrophages are involved in resolving wound repair and terminating the inflammatory response in the lungs. Various studies provide evidence that M2-like macrophages contribute to the abnormal fibrogenesis. In recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding macrophage polarization and its role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a member of the HDAC family with two functional deacetylase structural domains and a ubiquitin-binding zinc finger structural domain (ZnF-BUZ), plays a crucial role in pulmonary fibrosis. This article explores the role of HDAC6 in pulmonary fibrosis and evaluates its potential as a treatment approach for IPF. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Service System (CBMdisc) and Web of Science were searched to obtain researches, published in English and Chinese, until July 2023. The search was performed using specific keywords such as Histone deacetylase 6, HDAC6, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF, fibrosis. Key Content and Findings HDAC6 has diverse effects on physiological processes, including the NLRP3 inflammasome, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, the TGFβ-PI3K-AKT pathway, macrophage polarization and TGF-β-Smad signaling pathway, due to its unique structure. HDAC6 has been found to enhance the inflammatory response and fibrosis of lung tissues, contributing to the development of IPF. Conclusions In the future, HDAC6 inhibitors are expected to play a crucial role in the treatment of fibrotic disorders and should be studied further deserves to pursue in future research.

Abstract
Chronic pain reduces the quality of life and ability to function of individuals suffering from it, making it a common public health problem. Neuroinflammation which is mediated by the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in the spinal cord participates and modulates chronic pain. A chronic inflammatory pain mouse model was created in the current study by intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into C57BL/6J left foot of mice. Following CFA injection, the mice had enhanced pain sensitivities, decreased motor function, increased spinal inflammation and activated spinal astrocytes. Emodin (10 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally into the mice for 3 days. As a result, there were fewer spontaneous flinches, higher mechanical threshold values and greater latency to fall. Additionally, in the spinal cord, emodin administration reduced leukocyte infiltration level, downregulated protein level of IL-1β, lowered histone deacetylase (HDAC)6 and NLRP3 inflammasome activity and suppressed astrocytic activation. Emodin also binds to HDAC6 via four electrovalent bonds. In summary, emodin treatment blocked the HDAC6/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, suppresses spinal inflammation and alleviates chronic inflammatory pain.

Abstract
Cancer‑induced bone pain (CIBP) is characterized as moderate to severe pain that negatively affects the daily functional status and quality of life of patients. When cancer cells metastasize and grow in bone marrow, this activates neuroinflammation in the spinal cord, which plays a vital role in the generation and persistence of chronic pain. In the present study, a model of CIBP was constructed by inoculating of MRMT‑1 rat breast carcinoma cells into the medullary cavity of the tibia in male Sprague‑Dawley rats. Following two weeks of surgery, CIBP rats exhibited damaged bone structure, increased pain sensitivity and impaired motor coordination. Neuroinflammation was activated in the spinal cords of CIBP rats, presenting with extensive leukocyte filtration, upregulated cytokine levels and activated astrocytes. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) works as a therapeutic target for chronic pain. The intrathecal injection of the HDAC6 inhibitor tubastatin A (TSA) in the lumbar spinal cord resulted in decreased spinal inflammatory cytokine production, suppressed spinal astrocytes activation and reduced NOD‑like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activity. Consequently, this effect alleviated spontaneous pain and mechanical hyperalgesia and recovered motor coordination in CIBP rats. It was demonstrated by immunoprecipitation assay that TSA treatment reduced the interaction between HDAC6 and NLRP3. Cell research on C6 rat glioma cells served to verify that TSA treatment reduced HDAC6 and NLRP3 expression. In summary, the findings of present study indicated that TSA treatment alleviated cancer‑induced bone pain through the inhibition of HDAC6/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in the spinal cord.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2023; 117:105906.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease represents a neurodegenerative condition characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons within the Substantia Nigra pars compacta (SNpc), resulting in diminished dopamine levels in the striatum (STR) and chronic neuroinflammation. Recent investigations have proposed the neuroprotective potential of the endocannabinoid system in neurodegenerative disorders. β-caryophyllene (BCP) is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to its activation of the type 2 cannabinoid receptor. This study aimed to assess the neuroprotective impact of BCP on dopaminergic neurons, with a particular focus on inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. METHODS A model of hemiparkinsonism, induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), served as the experimental framework. Motor function was evaluated using the cylinder test, and inflammasome inhibition was determined by assessing the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in both the SNpc and STR through ELISA analysis. Furthermore, the evaluation of oxidative stress was facilitated by quantifying malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the same regions. RESULTS BCP treatment demonstrated significant improvements in motor dysfunction, as assessed by the cylinder test (p=0.0011) and exhibited a neuroprotective effect on dopaminergic neurons within the SNpc (p=0.0017), as well as nerve fibers in the STR (p=0.0399). In terms of its ability to inhibit the inflammasome, BCP led to decreased expression levels of NLRP3 (p=0.0401 in STR and p = 0.0139 in SNpc), caspase-1 (p=0.0004 in STR), and MDA (p=0.0085 in STR and p=0.0414 in SNpc). CONCLUSION These results point to BCP's potential in mitigating the motor deficit, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and attenuating lipid peroxidation induced by 6-OHDA.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been implicated in cardiac diseases, while the role of HDAC6 in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains obscure. The in silico analyses predicted potential association of HDAC6 with autophagy-related genes and DCM. Thus, we evaluated the functional relevance of HDAC6 in DCM in vivo and in vitro. We developed a rat model in vivo and a cell model in vitro by doxorubicin (DOX) induction to simulate DCM. HDAC6 expression was determined in myocardial tissues of DCM rats. DCM rats exhibited elevated HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression as compared to sham-operated rats. We knocked HDAC6 down and/or overexpressed NLRP3 in vivo and in vitro to characterize their roles in cardiomyocyte autophagy. It was established that shRNA-mediated HDAC6 silencing augmented cardiomyocyte autophagy and suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thus ameliorating cardiac injury in myocardial tissues of DCM rats. Besides, in DOX-injured cardiomyocytes, HDAC6 silencing also diminished NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell apoptosis but enhanced cell autophagy, whereas ectopic NLRP3 expression negated the effects of HDAC6 silencing. Since HDAC6 knockdown correlates with enhanced cardiomyocyte autophagy and suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation through an interplay with NLRP3, it is expected to be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for DCM. 1. HDAC6 was up-regulated in DCM rats. 2. HDAC6 knockdown promoted cardiomyocyte autophagy to relieve cardiac dysfunction. 3. HDAC6 knockdown inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome and promoted cardiomyocyte autophagy. 4. Silencing HDAC6 promoted autophagy and repressed apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. 5. This study provides novel therapeutic targets for DCM.

Inflamm Res 2023; 72:1919-1932. [PMID: 37725105 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-023-01794-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nafamostat mesilate (NM), a synthetic broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor, has been commonly used for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) and other inflammatory-associated diseases in some East Asia countries. Although the potent inhibitory activity against inflammation-related proteases (such as thrombin, trypsin, kallikrein, plasmin, coagulation factors, and complement factors) is generally believed to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of NM, the precise target and molecular mechanism underlying its anti-inflammatory activity in AP treatment remain largely unknown. METHODS The protection of NM against pancreatic injury and inhibitory effect on the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation were investigated in an experimental mouse model of AP. To decipher the molecular mechanism of NM, the effects of NM on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity and NF-κB mediated NLRP3 inflammasome priming were examined in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed THP-1 cells. Additionally, the potential of NM to block the activity of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and disrupt the association between HDAC6 and NLRP3 was also evaluated. RESULTS NM significantly suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the pancreas, leading to a reduction in pancreatic inflammation and prevention of pancreatic injury during AP. NM was found to interact with HDAC6 and effectively inhibit its function. This property allowed NM to influence HDAC6-dependent NF-κB transcriptional activity, thereby blocking NF-κB-driven transcriptional priming of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, NM exhibited the potential to interfere the association between HDAC6 and NLRP3, impeding HDAC6-mediated intracellular transport of NLRP3 and ultimately preventing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. CONCLUSIONS Our current work has provided valuable insight into the molecular mechanism underlying the immunomodulatory effect of NM in the treatment of AP, highlighting its promising application in the prevention of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated inflammatory pathological damage.

Abstract
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an important regulator of inflammation and immune responses. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been implicated in the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in mouse cells, however, the role in human immune cells remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effect of HDAC6 deficiency on NLRP3-mediated interleukin (IL)-1β release using proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTAC) technology. We designed an HDAC6 PROTAC (A6) composed of the pan-HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and the E3 ligase ligand thalidomide and a control PROTAC (non-degrading control, nc-A6) that binds to HDAC6 but lacks the ability to induce HDAC6 degradation. A6 but not nc-A6 reduced HDAC6 levels in THP-1 macrophages without affecting cell viability. PROTAC A6 and nc-A6 significantly reduced the release of IL-1β in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that HDAC6 deficiency is not necessary for inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated IL-1β release. We found that inhibition of the catalytic domain with HDAC inhibitor SAHA or the specific HDAC6 inhibitor tubastatin A is sufficient to reduce IL-1β release indicating that the enzymatic activity of HDAC6 is critical for NLRP3 inflammasome function. Mechanistically, the observed effects of HDAC6 inhibition on NLRP3-mediated inflammatory responses could be attributed to its interaction with Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Tubastatin A did not affect IL-1β levels when added after TLR-mediated priming. Collectively, our findings indicate that HDAC6 inhibitors show potent anti-inflammatory activity and suppress IL-1β release by human macrophages, independent of NLRP3 assembly and activation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, resulting in motor and non-motor symptoms. Although levodopa is the primary medication for PD, its long-term use is associated with complications such as dyskinesia and drug resistance, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. Recent research has highlighted the potential of targeting opioid and cannabinoid receptors as innovative strategies for PD treatment. Modulating opioid transmission, particularly through activating µ (MOR) and δ (DOR) receptors while inhibiting κ (KOR) receptors, shows promise in preventing motor complications and reducing L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. Opioids also possess neuroprotective properties and play a role in neuroprotection and seizure control. Similar to this, endocannabinoid signalling via CB1 and CB2 receptors influences the basal ganglia and may contribute to PD pathophysiology, making it a potential therapeutic target. In addition to opioid and cannabinoid receptor targeting, the NLRP3 pathway, implicated in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, emerges as another potential therapeutic avenue for PD. Recent studies suggest that targeting this pathway holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for PD management. This comprehensive review focuses on neuromodulation and novel therapeutic approaches for PD, specifically highlighting the targeting of opioid and cannabinoid receptors and the NLRP3 pathway. A better understanding of these mechanisms has the potential to enhance the quality of life for PD patients.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is involved in the regulation of protein aggregation and neuroinflammation, but its role in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains controversial. In this study, Hdac6-/- mice were generated by CRISPR-Cas9 technology for exploring the effect of HDAC6 on the pathological progression of PD. We found that male Hdac6-/- mice exhibit hyperactivity and certain anxiety. In the acute 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mice, though motor injury was slightly alleviated by HDAC6 deficiency, dopamine (DA) depletion in the striatum, the decrease in the number of DA neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and the reduction in DA neuronal terminals were not affected. In addition, activation of glial cells and the expression of α-synuclein, as well as the levels of apoptosis-related proteins in the nigrostriatal pathway, were not changed in MPTP-injected wild-type and Hdac6-/- mice. Therefore, HDAC6 deficiency leads to moderate alterations of behaviors and Parkinson's disease pathology in mice.

Abstract
Targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for anti-inflammation and related biological pathways, including inflammatory events associated with the brain. In this study, in order to develop brain-permeable HDAC6 inhibitors for anti-neuroinflammation, we report here the design, synthesis, and characterization of a number of N-heterobicyclic analogues that can inhibit HDAC6 with high specificity and strong potency. Among our analogues, PB131 exhibits potent binding affinity and selectivity against HDAC6, with an IC50 value of 1.8 nM and more than 116-fold selectivity over other HDAC isoforms. In addition, PB131 shows good brain penetration, binding specificity, and reasonable biodistribution through our positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies of [18F]PB131 in mice. Furthermore, we characterized the efficacy of PB131 on regulating neuroinflammation using the mouse microglia model BV2 cells in vitro and the LPS-induced inflammation mouse model in vivo. These data not only indicate the anti-inflammatory activity of our novel HDAC6 inhibitor PB131, but also strengthen the biological functions of HDAC6 and further extend the therapeutic approach inhibiting HDAC6. Our findings show that PB131 displays good brain permeability, high specificity, and strong potency toward inhibiting HDAC6 and is a potential HDAC6 inhibitor for inflammation-related disease treatment, especially neuroinflammation.

Abstract
The inter-neuronal communication occurring in extensively branched neuronal cells is achieved primarily through the microtubule (MT)-mediated axonal transport system. This mechanistically regulated system delivers cargos (proteins, mRNAs and organelles such as mitochondria) back and forth from the soma to the synapse. Motor proteins like kinesins and dynein mechanistically regulate polarized anterograde (from the soma to the synapse) and retrograde (from the synapse to the soma) commute of the cargos, respectively. Proficient axonal transport of such cargos is achieved by altering the microtubule stability via post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers, core components constructing the MTs. Occurring within the lumen of MTs, K40 acetylation of α-tubulin via α-tubulin acetyl transferase and its subsequent deacetylation by HDAC6 and SIRT2 are widely scrutinized PTMs that make the MTs highly flexible, which in turn promotes their lifespan. The movement of various motor proteins, including kinesin-1 (responsible for axonal mitochondrial commute), is enhanced by this PTM, and dyshomeostasis of neuronal MT acetylation has been observed in a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is the second most common neurodegenerative condition and is closely associated with impaired MT dynamics and deregulated tubulin acetylation levels. Although the relationship between status of MT acetylation and progression of PD pathogenesis has become a chicken-and-egg question, our review aims to provide insights into the MT-mediated axonal commute of mitochondria and dyshomeostasis of MT acetylation in PD. The enzymatic regulators of MT acetylation along with their synthetic modulators have also been briefly explored. Moving towards a tubulin-based therapy that enhances MT acetylation could serve as a disease-modifying treatment in neurological conditions that lack it.

HDAC Inhibitors Alleviate Uric Acid-Induced Vascular Endothelial Cell Injury by Way of the HDAC6/FGF21/PI3K/AKT Pathway. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2023; 81:150-164.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Uric acid (UA) accumulation triggers endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) plays a vital role in regulating the pathological processes of various diseases. However, the influence of HDAC inhibitor on UA-induced vascular endothelial cell injury (VECI) remains undefined. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effect of HDACs inhibition on UA-induced vascular endothelial cell dysfunction and its detailed mechanism. UA was used to induce human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury. Meanwhile, potassium oxonate-induced and hypoxanthine-induced hyperuricemia mouse models were also constructed. A broad-spectrum HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) or selective HDAC6 inhibitor TubastatinA (TubA) was given to HUVECs or mice to determine whether HDACs can affect UA-induced VECI. The results showed pretreatment of HUVECs with TSA or HDAC6 knockdown-attenuated UA-induced VECI and increased FGF21 expression and phosphorylation of AKT, eNOS, and FoxO3a. These effects could be reversed by FGF21 knockdown. In vivo, both TSA and TubA reduced inflammation and tissue injury while increased FGF21 expression and phosphorylation of AKT, eNOS, and FoxO3a in the aortic and renal tissues of hyperuricemia mice. Therefore, HDACs, especially HDAC6 inhibitor, alleviated UA-induced VECI through upregulating FGF21 expression and then activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. This suggests that HDAC6 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for treating UA-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is defined as an injury resulting from a disturbance in the dynamic equilibrium of the redox environment due to the overproduction of active/radical oxygen exceeding the antioxidative ability of the body. This is a key step in the development of various diseases. Oxidative stress is modulated by different factors and events, including the modification of histones, which are the cores of nucleosomes. Histone modification includes acetylation and deacetylation of certain amino acid residues; this process is catalyzed by different enzymes. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique deacetylating protease that also catalyzes the deacetylation of different nonhistone substrates to regulate various physiologic processes. The intimate relationship between HDAC6 and oxidative stress has been demonstrated by different studies. The present paper aims to summarize the data obtained from a mechanistic study of HDAC6 and oxidative stress to guide further investigations on mechanistic characterization and drug development.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain (NP) is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities and currently lacks effective treatment. Prior research has shown that HDAC6 plays a crucial role in pain sensitization, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. HDAC6 inhibitors have been found to alleviate mechanical allodynia caused by inflammation and peripheral nerve damage. In this study, we investigated the cellular mechanisms of HDAC6 in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Our findings indicate that HDAC6 expression in the spinal cord (SC) is upregulated in a time-dependent manner following chronic constriction injury (CCI). HDAC6 is primarily expressed in neurons and microglia in the spinal cord. CCI-induced HDAC6 production was abolished by intrathecal injection of a microglia inhibitor. ACY-1215, a specific HDAC6 inhibitor, significantly reduced CCI-induced mechanical allodynia, but not thermal hyperalgesia. ACY-1215 also inhibited neuron activation and suppressed CCI-induced pyroptosis and neuroinflammatory responses. In summary, our results suggest that HDAC6 contributes to the development and maintenance of NP through neuronal activation and neuroinflammation. HDAC6 may be a promising target for treating NP.

Abstract
HDAC6 has emerged as a molecular target to treat neurodegenerative disorders, due to its participation in protein aggregate degradation, oxidative stress process, mitochondrial transport, and axonal transport. Thus, in this work we have designed a set of 485 compounds with hydroxamic and bulky-hydrophobic moieties that may function as HDAC6 inhibitors with a neuroprotective effect. These compounds were filtered by their predicted ADMET properties and their affinity to HDAC6 demonstrated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The combination of in silico with in vitro neuroprotective results allowed the identification of a lead compound (FH-27) which shows neuroprotective effect that could be due to HDAC6 inhibition. Further, FH-27 chemical moiety was used to design a second series of compounds improving the neuroprotective effect from 2- to 10-fold higher (YSL-99, YSL-109, YSL-112, YSL-116 and YSL-121; 1.25 ± 0.67, 1.82 ± 1.06, 7.52 ± 1.78, 5.59 and 5.62 ± 0.31 µM, respectively). In addition, the R enantiomer of FH-27 (YSL-106) was synthesized, showing a better neuroprotective effect (1.27 ± 0.60 µM). In conclusion, we accomplish the in silico design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of hydroxamic acid derivatives with neuroprotective effect as suggested by an in vitro model.

Abstract
Neurological diseases (NDs), featured by progressive dysfunctions of the nervous system, have become a growing burden for the aging populations. N-Deacetylase and N-sulfotransferase 3 (NDST3) is known to catalyze deacetylation and N-sulfation on disaccharide substrates. Recently, NDST3 is identified as a novel deacetylase for tubulin, and its newly recognized role in modulating microtubule acetylation and lysosomal acidification provides fresh insights into ND therapeutic approaches using NDST3 as a target. Microtubule acetylation and lysosomal acidification have been reported to be critical for activities in neurons, implying that the regulators of these two biological processes, such as the previously known microtubule deacetylases, histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), could play important roles in various NDs. Aberrant NDST3 expression or tubulin acetylation has been observed in an increasing number of NDs, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD), schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting that NDST3 is a key player in the pathogenesis of NDs and may serve as a target for development of new treatment of NDs.

TFEB acetylation promotes lysosome biogenesis and ameliorates Alzheimer's disease-relevant phenotypes in mice. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102649. [PMID: 36441024 PMCID: PMC9694136 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Lysosomes are one of the major centers for regulating cargo degradation and protein quality control. Transcription factor EB (TFEB)-promoted lysosome biogenesis enhances lysosome-mediated degradation and alleviates neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanisms underlying TFEB modification and activation are still poorly understood. Here, we report essential roles of TFEB acetylation in TFEB nuclear translocation and lysosome biogenesis, which are independent of TFEB dephosphorylation. By screening small molecules, we find that Trichostatin A (TSA), the pan-inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB. TSA enhances the staining of cells by LysoTracker Red and increases the expression of lysosomal and autophagic genes. We identify four novel acetylated lysine residues in TFEB, which are important for TFEB nuclear translocation and lysosome biogenesis. We show that TFEB acetylation is regulated by HDACs (HDAC5, HDAC6, and HDAC9) and lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), including ELP3, CREBBP, and HAT1. During TSA-induced cytosol-to-nucleus translocation of TFEB, acetylation is independent of TFEB dephosphorylation, since the mTORC1- or GSK3β-related phosphorylation sites on TFEB are still phosphorylated. Administration of TSA to APP/PS1 mice increases the expression of lysosomal and autophagic genes in mouse brains and also improves memory. Accordingly, the β-amyloid plaque burden is decreased. These results show that the acetylation of TFEB, as a novel mechanism of TFEB activation, promotes lysosome biogenesis and alleviates the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Our results also suggest that HDAC inhibition can promote lysosome biogenesis, and this may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and disorders related to HDAC hyperactivation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-associated neurodegenerative motor disorder, which is mainly caused by dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra. This study aimed to evaluate the function and the underlying molecular mechanism of itaconate in PD. PD models were established in vivo and in vitro using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), respectively. Pole and rotarod tests were applied to evaluate the motor coordination of mice. The expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in MPTP-induced mice and the MPP+ revulsive PD cell model were detected using Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The inflammatory factors level was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in substantia nigra, striatum, and SH-SY5Y cells were analyzed. Moreover, the apoptosis of MPP+ revulsive SH-SY5Y cells was determined using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining and flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis- and Nod-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-associated proteins was measured using Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Itaconate attenuated motor deficits of MPTP-induced PD mice. Itaconate inhibited dopamine neuronal damage, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis in MPTP-caused PD mice and the MPP+ revulsive PD cell model. Additionally, itaconate notably repressed the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. This research demonstrated that itaconate could attenuate neuroinflammation and exert dopamine neuroprotection in PD through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
In this study, we report the first highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor with hydrazide as the zinc-binding group (ZBG), which displays superior pharmacokinetic properties to the current hydroxamic acid inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship study reveals that ethyl group substituent hydrazide-based ZBG and cap group with more substantial rigidity and larger volume increase the HDAC6 selectivity of designed compounds. Representative inhibitor 35m exhibits potent HDAC6 inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.019 μM. To our surprise, 35m establishes significant improvement in the pharmacokinetic property with much higher AUC0-inf (10292 ng·h/mL) and oral bioavailability (93.4%) than hydroximic acid-based HDAC6 inhibitors Tubastatin A and ACY-1215. Low-dose 35m remarkably decreases LPS-induced IL-1β release both in vitro and in vivo by blocking the activation of NLRP3, indicating that 35m can be a potential orally active therapeutic agent for the treatment of NLRP3-related diseases.

Abstract
To investigate the underlying mechanisms of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and the impairment of medial prefrontal cortex-hippocampus connectivity. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction frequently affects elderly following surgery. The role of inter-brain-region connectivity abnormality after anesthesia and surgery on postoperative cognitive dysfunction development remains unclear. Medial prefrontal cortex-hippocampus connectivity of aged and adult rats was evaluated by injecting neurotracer biotinylated dextranamine (BDA) into bilateral hippocampus 3 days before partial hepatectomy, and biotinylated dextranamine positive cells of medial prefrontal cortex 2 days after hepatectomy were counted. HDAC6 shRNA was injected into medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus bilaterally before hepatectomy or an HDAC6 activity inhibitor Tubastatin A was administered systemically after hepatectomy. Neuroinflammation and HDAC6 down-target ac-tubulin in medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were detected. Learning and memory of rats were evaluated by Barnes Maze task during 2-5 days after surgery and delayed matching-to-place water maze task during 10-23 days after surgery. Compared to the age-matched normal controls, anesthesia and surgery significantly decreased BDA-positive neurons in medial prefrontal cortex of aged rats, but not young adult rats. Local HDAC6 knockdown and systemic HDAC6 inhibition both increased BDA-positive neurons number of medial prefrontal cortex, alleviated learning and memory impairment in the Barnes Maze task and water maze task, decreased HDAC6 expression, inflammatory cytokines, astrocyte and microglial activation, and increased ac-tubulin expression in aged rats which received surgery. Our data indicated that anesthesia and surgery impaired medial prefrontal cortex-hippocampus connectivity and cognition which was associated with HDAC6 overexpression.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide, tubular injury is the driving force during the pathogenesis and progression of DN. Thus, we aim to utilize the connectivity map (CMap) with renal tubulointerstitial transcriptomic profiles of biopsy-proven DN to identify novel drugs for treating DN. Methods: We interrogated the CMap profile with tubulointerstitial transcriptomic data from renal biopsy-proven early- and late-stage DN patients to screen potential drugs for DN. Therapeutic effects of candidate drug were assessed in Murine model of diabetic kidney disease (STZ-induced CD-1 mice), and HK-2 cells and immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs). Results: We identified CAY10603, a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), as a potential drug that could significantly reverse the altered genes in the tubulointerstitial component. In DN patients and mice, upregulation of HDAC6 was mainly observed in renal tubular cells and infiltrated macrophages surrounding the diluted tubules. In both early- and late-onset diabetic mice, daily CAY10603 administration effectively alleviated renal dysfunction and reduced macrophage infiltration, tubular injury and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Mechanistically, CAY10603 suppressed NLRP3 activation in both HK-2 cells and iBMDMs. Conclusion: CAY10603 exhibited therapeutic potential for DN by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in both tubular cells and macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circadian disturbance is a common nonmotor complaint in Parkinson's disease (PD). The molecular basis underlying circadian rhythm in PD is poorly understood. Neuroinflammation has been identified as a key contributor to PD pathology. In this study, we explored the potential link between the core clock molecule Rev-erbα and the microglia-mediated NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in PD pathogenesis. METHODS We first examined the diurnal Rev-erbα rhythms and diurnal changes in microglia-mediated inflammatory cytokines expression in the SN of MPTP-induced PD mice. Further, we used BV2 cell to investigate the impacts of Rev-erbα on NLRP3 inflammasome and microglial polarization induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) and αsyn pre-formed fibril. The role of Rev-erbα in regulating microglial activation via NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathway was then explored. Effects of SR9009 against NLRP3 inflammasome activation, microgliosis and nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in the SN and striatum of MPTP-induced PD mice were studied in detail. RESULTS BV2 cell-based experiments revealed the role of Rev-erbα in regulating microglial activation and polarization through the NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Circadian oscillation of the core clock gene Rev-erbα in the substantia nigra (SN) disappeared in MPTP-induced PD mice, as well as diurnal changes in microglial morphology. The expression of inflammatory cytokines in SN of the MPTP-induced mice were significantly elevated. Furthermore, dopaminergic neurons loss in the nigrostriatal system were partially reversed by SR9009, a selective Rev-erbα agonist. In addition, SR9009 effectively reduced the MPTP-induced glial activation, microglial polarization and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the nigrostriatal system. CONCLUSIONS These observations suggest that the circadian clock protein Rev-erbα plays an essential role in attenuating neuroinflammation in PD pathology, and provides a potential therapeutic target for PD treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease that is increasingly becoming a global threat to the health and life of the elderly worldwide. Although there are some drugs clinically available for treating PD, these treatments can only alleviate the symptoms of PD patients but cannot completely cure the disease. Therefore, exploring other potential mechanisms to develop more effective treatments that can modify the course of PD is still highly desirable. Over the last two decades, histone deacetylases, as an important group of epigenetic targets, have attracted much attention in drug discovery. This review focused on the current knowledge about histone deacetylases involved in PD pathophysiology and their inhibitors used in PD studies. Further perspectives related to small molecules that can inhibit or degrade histone deacetylases to treat PD were also discussed.

Abstract
Background Myocardial dysfunction is the leading cause of early death following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in people with cardiac arrest (CA), which is potentially driven by cell pyroptosis mediated by NOD‐like receptor pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Recently, histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibition was shown to exert effective myocardial protection against regional ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study, we investigated whether tubastatin A, a specific histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor, could improve postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction through the inhibition of NLRP3‐mediated cell pyroptosis and its modulation mechanism. Methods and Results Healthy male white domestic swine were used to establish the model of CA/CPR in vivo, and the H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypoxia/reoxygenation model was used to simulate the CA/CPR process in vitro. Consequently, tubastatin A inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, decreased proinflammatory cytokines production and cell pyroptosis, and increased cell survival after hypoxia/reoxygenation in H9c2 cardiomyocytes in vitro. In addition, tubastatin A increased the acetylated levels of transcription factor EB and its translocation to the nucleus, and its protective effect above was partly abrogated by transcription factor EB short interfering RNA after hypoxia/reoxygenation in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Similarly, tubastatin A promoted cardiac transcription factor EB nuclear translocation, inhibited NLRP3‐mediated cell pyroptosis, and mitigated myocardial dysfunction after CA/CPR in swine. Conclusions The inhibition of histone deacetylase 6 activity by tubastatin A limited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell pyroptosis probably through the enhancement of transcription factor EB signaling, and therefore improved myocardial dysfunction after CA/CPR.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction hold considerable promise for the treatment of PD. Recent reports have highlighted the protective role of urolithin A (UA), a gut metabolite produced from ellagic acid-containing foods such as pomegranates, berries and walnuts, in several neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke. However, the potential role of UA in PD has not been characterized. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanisms for role of UA in 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in cell cultures and mice model of PD. Our results revealed that UA protected against 6-OHDA cytotoxicity and apoptosis in PC12 cells. Meanwhile, administration of UA to 6-OHDA lesioned mice ameliorated both motor deficits and nigral-striatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity. More important, UA treatment significantly attenuated 6-OHDA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in PC12 cells accompanied by enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that UA exerts neuroprotective effects by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis via SIRT1-PGC-1α signaling pathway. Taken together, these data provide new insights into the novel role of UA in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction and suggest that UA may have potential therapeutic applications for PD.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy in both the developed and developing world. Doxorubicin is one of the most commonly used chemotherapies for breast cancer. Unfortunately, up to 60% of survivors report long-term chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction (CICD) characterized by deficits in working memory, processing speed and executive function. Currently, no therapeutic standard for treating CICD exists. Here, we hypothesized that treatment with a blood-brain barrier permeable histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor can successfully reverse long-term doxorubicin-induced cognitive dysfunction. Methods: The puzzle box test and novel object/place recognition test were used to assess cognitive function following a therapeutic doxorubicin dosing schedule in female mice. Mitochondrial function and morphology in neuronal synaptosomes were evaluated using the Seahorse XF24 extracellular flux analyzer and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Hippocampal postsynaptic integrity was evaluated using immunofluorescence. Hippocampal microglia phenotype was determined using advanced imaging techniques and single-nucleus RNA sequencing. Results: A 14-day treatment with a blood-brain barrier permeable HDAC6 inhibitor successfully reversed long-term CICD in the domains of executive function, working and spatial memory. No significant changes in mitochondrial function or morphology in neuronal synaptosomes were detected. Long-term CICD was associated with a decreased expression of postsynaptic PSD95 in the hippocampus. These changes were associated with decreased microglial ramification and alterations in the microglia transcriptome that suggest a stage 1 disease-associated microglia (DAM) phenotype. HDAC6 inhibition completely reversed these doxorubicin-induced alterations, indicating a restoration of microglial homeostasis. Conclusion: Our results show that decreased postsynaptic integrity and a neurodegenerative microglia phenotype closely resembling stage 1 DAM microglia contribute to long-term CICD. Moreover, HDAC6 inhibition shows promise as an efficacious pharmaceutical intervention to alleviate CICD and improve quality of life of breast cancer survivors.

Abstract
Autophagy fights against harmful stimuli and degrades cytosolic macromolecules, organelles, and intracellular pathogens. Autophagy dysfunction is associated with many diseases, including infectious and inflammatory diseases. Recent studies have identified the critical role of the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes activation in the innate immune system, which mediates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β/IL-18 and cleaves Gasdermin D to induce pyroptosis in response to pathogenic and sterile stimuli. Accumulating evidence has highlighted the crosstalk between autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome in multifaceted ways to influence host defense and inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms require further clarification. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a class IIb deacetylase among the 18 mammalian HDACs, which mainly localizes in the cytoplasm. It is involved in two functional deacetylase domains and a ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain (ZnF-BUZ). Due to its unique structure, HDAC6 regulates various physiological processes, including autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome, and may play a role in the crosstalk between them. In this review, we provide insight into the mechanisms by which HDAC6 regulates autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome and we explored the possibility and challenges of HDAC6 in the crosstalk between autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome. Finally, we discuss HDAC6 inhibitors as a potential therapeutic approach targeting either autophagy or NLRP3 inflammasome as an anti-inflammatory strategy, although further clarification is required regarding their crosstalk.

Abstract
A pathophysiological consequence of both type 1 and 2 diabetes is remodelling of the myocardium leading to the loss of left ventricular pump function and ultimately heart failure (HF). Abnormal cardiac bioenergetics associated with mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in the early stages of HF. Key factors influencing mitochondrial function are the shape, size and organisation of mitochondria within cardiomyocytes, with reports identifying small, fragmented mitochondria in the myocardium of diabetic patients. Cardiac mitochondria are now known to be dynamic organelles (with various functions beyond energy production); however, the mechanisms that underpin their dynamism are complex and links to motility are yet to be fully understood, particularly within the context of HF. This review will consider how the outer mitochondrial membrane protein Miro1 (Rhot1) mediates mitochondrial movement along microtubules via crosstalk with kinesin motors and explore the evidence for molecular level changes in the setting of diabetic cardiomyopathy. As HF and diabetes are recognised inflammatory conditions, with reports of enhanced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, we will also consider evidence linking microtubule organisation, inflammation and the association to mitochondrial motility. Diabetes is a global pandemic but with limited treatment options for diabetic cardiomyopathy, therefore we also discuss potential therapeutic approaches to target the mitochondrial-microtubule-inflammatory axis.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential for maintaining homeostasis by catalyzing histone deacetylation. Aberrant expression of HDACs is associated with various human diseases. Although HDAC inhibitors are used as effective chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice, their applications remain limited due to associated side effects induced by weak isoform selectivity. HDAC6 displays unique structure and cellular localization as well as diverse substrates and exhibits a wider range of biological functions than other isoforms. HDAC6 inhibitors have been effectively used to treat cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders without exerting significant toxic effects. Progress has been made in defining the crystal structures of HDAC6 catalytic domains which has influenced the structure-based drug design of HDAC6 inhibitors. This review summarizes recent literature on HDAC6 inhibitors with particular reference to structural specificity and functional diversity. It may provide up-to-date guidance for the development of HDAC6 inhibitors and perspectives for optimization of therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by faulty intracellular transport, cognition, and aggregate regulation. Traditionally, neuroprotection exerted by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi) has been attributed to the ability of this drug class to promote histone acetylation. However, HDAC6 in the healthy CNS functions via distinct mechanisms, due largely to its cytoplasmic localization. Indeed, in healthy neurons, cytoplasmic HDAC6 regulates the acetylation of a variety of non-histone proteins that are linked to separate functions, i.e., intracellular transport, neurotransmitter release, and aggregate formation. These three HDAC6 activities could work independently or in synergy. Of particular interest, HDAC6 targets the synaptic protein Bruchpilot and neurotransmitter release. In pathological conditions, HDAC6 becomes abundant in the nucleus, with deleterious consequences for transcription regulation and synapses. Thus, HDAC6 plays a leading role in neuronal health or dysfunction. Here, we review recent findings and novel conclusions on the role of HDAC6 in neurodegeneration. Selective studies with pan-HDACi are also included. We propose that an early alteration of HDAC6 undermines synaptic transmission, while altering transport and aggregation, eventually leading to neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The neuropathological features of PD are selective and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, deficiencies in striatal dopamine levels, and the presence of intracellular Lewy bodies. Interactions among aging and genetic and environmental factors are considered to underlie the common etiology of PD, which involves multiple changes in cellular processes. Recent studies suggest that changes in lysine acetylation and deacetylation of many proteins, including histones and nonhistone proteins, might be tightly associated with PD pathogenesis. Here, we summarize the changes in lysine acetylation of both histones and nonhistone proteins, as well as the related lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), in PD patients and various PD models. We discuss the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of these changes in PD and highlight that restoring the balance of lysine acetylation/deacetylation of histones and nonhistone proteins is critical for PD treatment. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different KAT/KDAC inhibitors or activators in the treatment of PD models and emphasize that SIRT1 and SIRT3 activators and SIRT2 inhibitors are the most promising effective therapeutics for PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in midbrain substantia nigra is considered to be the main cause of PD. The hallmark of PD pathology is the formation of Lewy bodies and the deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn). The mechanisms responsible for the progressive feature of DA neurodegeneration are not fully illustrated. Recently, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation have received extensive attention as two important entry points in the pathogenesis of PD. The occurrence of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation is usually derived from external influences or changes in internal environment, such as the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, exposure to a toxic environment, and the transformation of systemic inflammation. However, PD never results from a single independent factor and the simultaneous participation of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation contributed to PD development. Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation could potentiate each other to promote progression of PD. In this review, we briefly summarized the conditions of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation and the crosstalk between oxidative stress and neuroinflammation on the development of PD.
