[PMID: 38465865 PMCID: PMC10936596 DOI: 10.1080/15592294.2024.2326868] [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: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress and neuronal dysfunction caused by intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) can lead to secondary injury. The m6A modification has been implicated in the progression of ICH. This study aimed to investigate the role of the m6A reader YTHDC2 in ICH-induced secondary injury. ICH models were established in rats using autologous blood injection, and neuronal cell models were induced with Hemin. Experiments were conducted to overexpress YTH domain containing 2 (YTHDC2) and examine its effects on neuronal dysfunction, brain injury, and neuronal ferritinophagy. RIP-qPCR and METTL3 silencing were performed to investigate the regulation of YTHDC2 on nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4). Finally, NCOA4 overexpression was used to validate the regulatory mechanism of YTHDC2 in ICH. The study found that YTHDC2 expression was significantly downregulated in the brain tissues of ICH rats. However, YTHDC2 overexpression improved neuronal dysfunction and reduced brain water content and neuronal death after ICH. Additionally, it reduced levels of ROS, NCOA4, PTGS2, and ATG5 in the brain tissues of ICH rats, while increasing levels of FTH and FTL. YTHDC2 overexpression also decreased levels of MDA and Fe2+ in the serum, while promoting GSH synthesis. In neuronal cells, YTHDC2 overexpression alleviated Hemin-induced injury, which was reversed by Erastin. Mechanistically, YTHDC2-mediated m6A modification destabilized NCOA4 mRNA, thereby reducing ferritinophagy and alleviating secondary injury after ICH. However, the effects of YTHDC2 were counteracted by NCOA4 overexpression. Overall, YTHDC2 plays a protective role in ICH-induced secondary injury by regulating NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy.

Lian J, Liu W, Hu Q, Zhang X. Succinylation modification: a potential therapeutic target in stroke. Neural Regen Res 2024; 19:781-787. [PMID: 37843212 PMCID: PMC10664134 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.382229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Ischemic cell death triggered by the compromised supply of blood oxygen and glucose is one of the major pathophysiology of stroke-induced brain injury. Impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism is observed minutes after stroke and is closely associated with the progression of neuropathology. Recently, a new type of post-translational modification, known as lysine succinylation, has been recognized to play a significant role in mitochondrial energy metabolism after ischemia. However, the role of succinylation modification in cell metabolism after stroke and its regulation are not well understood. We aimed to review the effects of succinylation on energy metabolism, reactive oxygen species generation, and neuroinflammation, as well as Sirtuin 5 mediated desuccinylation after stroke. We also highlight the potential of targeting succinylation/desuccinylation as a promising strategy for the treatment of stroke. The succinylation level is dynamically regulated by the nonenzymatic or enzymatic transfer of a succinyl group to a protein on lysine residues and the removal of succinyl catalyzed by desuccinylases. Mounting evidence has suggested that succinylation can regulate the metabolic pathway through modulating the activity or stability of metabolic enzymes. Sirtuins, especially Sirtuin 5, are characterized for their desuccinylation activity and have been recognized as a critical regulator of metabolism through desuccinylating numerous metabolic enzymes. Imbalance between succinylation and desuccinylation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of stroke. Pharmacological agents that enhance the activity of Sirtuin 5 have been employed to promote desuccinylation and improve mitochondrial metabolism, and neuroprotective effects of these agents have been observed in experimental stroke studies. However, their therapeutic efficacy in stroke patients should be validated.

Neurochem Res 2024; 49:998-1007. [PMID: 38170384 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-023-04095-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
This work aimed to study the role and mechanism of SIRT5 regulation of ferroptosis in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats was prepared using the method of thread occlusion. The ferroptosis inhibitor was injected intraperitoneally while the SIRT5 interfering lentivirus were injected into the brain, and neurological disorders were scored in the rats. TTC staining was used to detect infarct volume, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SIRT5 in tissues. Rat hippocampal neuronal cells H19-7 were transduced with SIRT5 interfering lentivirus and ferroptosis was induced using erastin. The CCK8 detection kit was used to detect cell viability. Commercial kits were used to detect levels of iron ions, ROS, MDA, SOD, and inflammatory factor (TNF-α and IL-6) in brain tissue or cell supernatant. Western blot was used to detect the expression changes of ferroptosis related proteins GPX4, Nrf2, and HO-1 in tissues or cells. Compared with the sham group, the MCAO model group showed higher levels of neurological impairment score, increased cerebral infarction volume, iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. Compared with the MCAO group, the MCAO + fer-1 group exhibited lower levels of neurological impairment scores, cerebral infarction volume, decreased iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. Meanwhile, compared with the MCAO + DMSO/LV-shRNA group, the MCAO + fer-1/LV-shSIRT5 group showed a significant decrease in neurological impairment scores, cerebral infarction volume, iron ions, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels in rats. In vitro experiments have found that LV-shSIRT5 can prevent erastin-induced cell ferroptosis. In summary, SIRT5 regulates ferroptosis through the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling axis to participate in ischemia-reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs)-derived exosomes carrying microRNAs (miRNAs) have promising therapeutic potential in various disorders, including premature ovarian failure (POF). Previous evidence has revealed the low plasma level of miR-22-3p in POF patients. Nevertheless, exosomal miR-22-3p specific functions underlying POF progression are unclarified. METHODS A cisplatin induced POF mouse model and in vitro murine ovarian granulosa cell (mOGC) model were established. Exosomes derived from miR-22-3p-overexpressed hUCMSCs (Exos-miR-22-3p) were isolated. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were utilized for measuring mOGC cell viability and apoptosis. RT-qPCR and western blotting were utilized for determining RNA and protein levels. The binding ability between exosomal miR-22-3p and Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) was verified using luciferase reporter assay. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, ELISA, and TUNEL staining were performed for examining the alteration of ovarian function in POF mice. RESULTS Exos-miR-22-3p enhanced mOGC viability and attenuated mOGC apoptosis under cisplatin treatment. miR-22-3p targeted KLF6 in mOGCs. Overexpressing KLF6 reversed the above effects of Exos-miR-22-3p. Exos-miR-22-3p ameliorated cisplatin-triggered ovarian injury in POF mice. Exos-miR-22-3p repressed ATF4-ATF3-CHOP pathway in POF mice and cisplatin-treated mOGCs. CONCLUSION Exosomal miR-22-3p from hUCMSCs alleviates OGC apoptosis and improves ovarian function in POF mouse models by targeting KLF6 and ATF4-ATF3-CHOP pathway.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a potential therapeutic target for different kinds of pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other conditions. Moreover, identification of SIRT modulators and exploring the functions of these different modulators have prompted increased efforts to discover new small molecules, which can modify SIRT activity. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials have indicated that different interventions might affect the expression of SIRT protein in human samples, and supplementation of SIRT modulators might have diverse impact on physiological function in different participants. In this review, we introduce the history and structure of the SIRT protein family, discuss the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of seven members of the SIRT protein family, elaborate on the regulatory roles of SIRTs in human disease, summarize SIRT inhibitors and activators, and review related clinical studies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the biomarkers implicated in the development of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and potential regulatory pathways. In the transcriptomic data for patients with ICH, we identified DEmiRNAs and DEmRNAs related to hypoxia, inflammation, and their transcription factors (TFs). An ICH-based miRNA-TF-mRNA regulatory network was thus constructed, and four biomarkers (TIMP1, PLAUR, DDIT3, and CD40) were screened for their association with inflammation or hypoxia by machine learning. Following this, SP3 was found to be a transcription factor involved in hypoxia and inflammation, which regulates TIMP1 and PLAUR. From the constructed miRNA-TF-mRNA regulatory network, we identified three axes, hsa-miR-940/RUNX1/TIMP1, hsa-miR-571/SP3/TIMP1, and hsa-miR-571/SP3/PLAUR, which may be involved in the development of ICH. Upregulated TIMP1 and PLAUR were validated in an independent clinical cohort 3 days after ICH onset. According to Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), SP3 was discovered to be important in interleukin signaling and platelet activation for hemostasis. Transcription factor SP3 associated with hypoxia or inflammation plays an important role in development of ICH. This study provides potential targets for monitoring the severity of inflammation and hypoxia in patients with ICH.

[PMID: 34880956 PMCID: PMC8648463 DOI: 10.1155/2021/2826609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Background To further understand the development of the spinal cord, an exploration of the patterns and transcriptional features of spinal cord development in newborn mice at the cellular transcriptome level was carried out. Methods The mouse single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset was downloaded from the GSE108788 dataset. Single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) was conducted on cervical and lumbar spinal V2a interneurons from 2 P0 neonates. Single-cell analysis using the Seurat package was completed, and marker mRNAs were identified for each cluster. Then, pseudotemporal analysis was used to analyze the transcription changes of marker mRNAs in different clusters over time. Finally, the functions of these marker mRNAs were assessed by enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. A transcriptional regulatory network was then constructed using the TRRUST dataset. Results A total of 949 cells were screened. Single-cell analysis was conducted based on marker mRNAs of each cluster, which revealed the heterogeneity of neonatal mouse spinal cord neuronal cells. Functional analysis of pseudotemporal trajectory-related marker mRNAs suggested that pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) and carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) were the core mRNAs in cluster 3. GSVA analysis then demonstrated that the different clusters had differences in pathway activity. By constructing a transcriptional regulatory network, USF2 was identified to be a transcriptional regulator of CEACAM1 and CEACAM5, while KLF6 was identified to be a transcriptional regulator of PSG3 and PSG5. This conclusion was then validated using the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) spinal cord transcriptome dataset. Conclusions This study completed an integrated analysis of a single-cell dataset with the utilization of marker mRNAs. USF2/CEACAM1&5 and KLF6/PSG3&5 transcriptional regulatory networks were identified by spinal cord single-cell analysis.

Butyric Acid Protects Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Adjusting the Treg/Th17 Balance via HO-1/p-STAT3 Signaling. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:733308. [PMID: 34796171 PMCID: PMC8593469 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.733308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Immune regulation plays a vital role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Butyric acid (BA) has immunomodulatory effects in many diseases, but its immunomodulatory effects during renal IRI are still unclear. Our research shows that BA protected against IRI and significantly improved renal IRI in vivo. In vitro studies showed that BA inhibits Th17 cell differentiation and induces Treg cell differentiation. Mechanism studies have shown that heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1)/STAT3 signaling pathway was involved in the inhibitory effect of BA on Th17 cell differentiation. HO-1 inhibitors can significantly rescue the BA-mediated inhibition of Th17 cell differentiation. We confirmed that BA promotes the differentiation of Th17 cells into Treg cells by regulating the pathway and reduces renal IRI.
