Abstract
Mitochondria are responsible for maintaining cellular energy levels, and play a major role in regulating homeostasis, which ensures physiological function from the molecular to whole animal. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is the major protein deacetylase of mitochondria. SIRT3 serves as a nutrient sensor; under conditions of mild metabolic stress, SIRT3 activity is increased. Within the mitochondria, SIRT3 regulates every complex of the electron transport chain, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and urea cycles, as well as the mitochondria membrane potential, and other free radical scavengers. This article reviews the role of SIRT3 in regulating homeostasis, and thus physiological function. We discuss the role of SIRT3 in regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), ATP, immunological function and mitochondria dynamics.

Abstract
Stem cells persist throughout the lifespan to repair and regenerate tissues due to their unique ability to self-renew and differentiate. Here we reflect on the recent discoveries in stem cells that highlight a mitochondrial metabolic checkpoint at the restriction point of the stem cell cycle. Mitochondrial activation supports stem cell proliferation and differentiation by providing energy supply and metabolites as signaling molecules. Concomitant mitochondrial stress can lead to loss of stem cell self-renewal and requires the surveillance of various mitochondrial quality control mechanisms. During aging, a mitochondrial protective program mediated by several sirtuins becomes dysregulated and can be targeted to reverse stem cell aging and tissue degeneration, giving hope for targeting the mitochondrial metabolic checkpoint for treating tissue degenerative diseases.

Abstract
Objective In this prospective observational study, we aimed to investigate the serum levels of sirtuin (SIRT)3 in epilepsy patients and its association with the severity of the disease. Methods This prospective observational study included 203 patients with symptomatic epilepsy and 100 healthy controls who visited our hospital from November 2019 to November 2022. The severity of the disease in epilepsy patients was assessed using the National Hospital Seizure Severity Scale (NHS3). We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure the serum levels of SIRT3, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein in all patients. In addition, the cognitive function of all study participants was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). All data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The MOCA scores of the epilepsy patients were significantly lower compared to the healthy volunteers (P < 0.05). The serum SIRT3 levels were decreased significantly in patients with refractory epilepsy (183.16 ± 17.22 pg/mL) compared to non-refractory epilepsy patients (199.00 ± 18.68 pg/mL). In addition, serum SIRT3 levels were negatively correlated with the inflammatory factors IL-6 (Pearson's correlation -0.221, P = 0.002) and NHS score (Pearson's correlation -0.272, P < 0.001) of epilepsy patients, while positively correlated with MOCA scores (Pearson's correlation 0.166, P = 0.018). Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that serum SIRT3 could be used to diagnose epilepsy, as well as refractory epilepsy. Finally, logistic regression analysis showed that SIRT3 (OR = 1.028, 95%CI: 1.003-1.054, P = 0.028), IL-6 (OR = 0.666, 95%CI: 0.554-0.800, P < 0.001), IL-1β (OR = 0.750, 95%CI: 0.630-0.894, P = 0.001), and NHS3 (OR = 0.555, 95%CI: 0.435-0.706, P < 0.001) were risk factors for refractory epilepsy. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that serum SIRT3 levels were significantly decreased in epilepsy patients and further decreased in patients with refractory epilepsy. This study might provide new therapeutic targets and comprehensive treatment strategies for epilepsy patients.

Abstract
Dietary polyphenol consumption is associated with a wide range of neuroprotective effects by improving mitochondrial function and signaling. Consequently, the use of polyphenol supplementation has been investigated as an approach to prevent neurodevelopmental diseases during gestation; however, the data obtained are still very inconclusive, mostly because of the difficulty of choosing the correct doses and period of administration to properly prevent neurodegenerative diseases without undermining normal brain development. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effect of naringin supplementation during the third week of gestation on mitochondrial health and signaling in the cerebellum of 21-day-old offspring. The offspring born to naringin-supplemented dams displayed higher mitochondrial mass, membrane potential, and superoxide content in the cerebellum without protein oxidative damage. Such alterations were associated with dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) downregulation, whereas the sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) levels were strongly upregulated. Our findings suggest that high dietary polyphenol supplementation during gestation may reduce mitochondrial fission and affect mitochondrial dynamics even 3 weeks after delivery via SIRT3 and p-AKT. Although the offspring born to naringin dams did not present neurobehavioral defects, the mitochondrial alterations elicited by naringin may potentially interfere during neurodevelopment and need to be further investigated.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is considered as an important environmental risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Excessive exposure to Mn can damage various neural cells and affect the neurogenesis, resulting in neurological dysfunction. However, the specific mechanisms of Mn exposure affecting neurogenesis have not been well understood, including compositional changes and heterogeneity of various neural cells. Zebrafish have been successfully used as a neurotoxicity model due to its homology with mammals in several key regions of the brain, as well as its advantages such as small size. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of zebrafish brains from normal and Mn-exposed groups. Our results suggested that low levels of Mn exposure activated neurogenesis in the zebrafish brain, including promoting the proliferation of neural progenitor cells and differentiation to newborn neurons and oligodendrocytes, while high levels of Mn exposure inhibited neurogenesis and neural function. Mn could affect neurogenesis through specific molecular pathways. In addition, Mn regulated intercellular communication and affected cellular communication in neural cells through specific signaling pathways. Taken together, our study elucidates the cellular composition of the zebrafish brain and adds to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in Mn-induced neurogenesis damage.

Mitochondrial impairment, decreased sirtuin activity and protein acetylation in dorsal root ganglia in Friedreich Ataxia models. Cell Mol Life Sci 2023; 81:12. [PMID: 38129330 PMCID: PMC10739563 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-023-05064-4] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Friedreich ataxia (FA) is a rare, recessive neuro-cardiodegenerative disease caused by deficiency of the mitochondrial protein frataxin. Mitochondrial dysfunction, a reduction in the activity of iron-sulfur enzymes, iron accumulation, and increased oxidative stress have been described. Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons are among the cellular types most affected in the early stages of this disease. However, its effect on mitochondrial function remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we found that in primary cultures of DRG neurons as well as in DRGs from the FXNI151F mouse model, frataxin deficiency resulted in lower activity and levels of the electron transport complexes, mainly complexes I and II. In addition, altered mitochondrial morphology, indicative of degeneration was observed in DRGs from FXNI151F mice. Moreover, the NAD+/NADH ratio was reduced and sirtuin activity was impaired. We identified alpha tubulin as the major acetylated protein from DRG homogenates whose levels were increased in FXNI151F mice compared to WT mice. In the mitochondria, superoxide dismutase (SOD2), a SirT3 substrate, displayed increased acetylation in frataxin-deficient DRG neurons. Since SOD2 acetylation inactivates the enzyme, and higher levels of mitochondrial superoxide anion were detected, oxidative stress markers were analyzed. Elevated levels of hydroxynonenal bound to proteins and mitochondrial Fe2+ accumulation was detected when frataxin decreased. Honokiol, a SirT3 activator, restores mitochondrial respiration, decreases SOD2 acetylation and reduces mitochondrial superoxide levels. Altogether, these results provide data at the molecular level of the consequences of electron transport chain dysfunction, which starts negative feedback, contributing to neuron lethality. This is especially important in sensory neurons which have greater susceptibility to frataxin deficiency compared to other tissues.

Abstract
Microglial activation and subsequent inflammatory responses are critical processes in aggravating secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Pterostilbene (3', 5'-dimethoxy-resveratrol) features antioxidant and anti-inflammation properties and has been proven neuroprotective. In this study, we aimed to explore whether Pterostilbene could attenuate neuroinflammation after experimental ICH, as well as underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, a collagenase-induced ICH in mice was followed by intraperitoneal injection of Pterostilbene (10 mg/kg) or vehicle once daily. PTE-treated mice performed significantly better than vehicle-treated controls in the neurological behavior test after ICH. Furthermore, our results showed that Pterostilbene reduced lesion volume and neural apoptosis, and alleviated blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage and brain edema. RNA sequencing and subsequent experiments showed that ICH-induced neuroinflammation and microglial proinflammatory activities were markedly suppressed by Pterostilbene treatment. With regard to the mechanisms, we identified that the anti-inflammatory effects of Pterostilbene relied on remodeling mitochondrial dynamics in microglia. Concretely, Pterostilbene reversed the downregulation of OPA1, promoted mitochondrial fusion, restored normal mitochondrial morphology, and reduced mitochondrial fragmentation and superoxide in microglia after OxyHb treatment. Moreover, conditionally deleting microglial OPA1 in mice largely countered the effects of Pterostilbene on alleviating microglial inflammation, BBB damage, brain edema and neurological impairment following ICH. In summary, we provided the first evidence that Pterostilbene is a promising agent for alleviating neuroinflammation and brain injury after ICH in mice, and uncovered a novel regulatory relationship between Pterostilbene and OPA1-mediated mitochondrial fusion.

Abstract
An increasing number of studies have suggested that oxidative stress and inflammation play momentous roles in acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Honokiol, a bioactive biphenolic phytochemical substance, is known for its strong anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, and it served as an activator of sirtuin3 (SIRT3) in the present study. The purposes of the study were to explore the effects of honokiol on APE rats and investigate whether the function of honokiol is mediated by SIRT3 activation. In the study, the rats received a right femoral vein injection of dextran gel G-50 particles (12 mg/kg) to establish the APE model and were subsequently administered honokiol and/or a selective SIRT3 inhibitor 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (3-TYP; 5 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. The results showed that SIRT3 activation by honokiol attenuated the loss in lung function, ameliorated the inflammatory response and oxidative damage, and inhibited apoptosis in lung tissues of the rats with APE but that this was reversed by 3-TYP. In addition, we found that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway might be activated by honokiol but restrained by 3-TYP. These results indicated that honokiol was capable of suppressing the adverse effects of APE and that this was diminished by SIRT3 suppression, implying that activation of SIRT3 might serve as a therapeutic method for APE.

Abstract
An NAD+-dependent deacetylase called Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is involved in the metabolic processes of the mitochondria, including energy generation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative stress. Sirt3 activation can slow down or prevent mitochondrial dysfunction in response to neurodegenerative disorders, demonstrating a strong neuroprotective impact. The mechanism of Sirt3 in neurodegenerative illnesses has been elucidated over time; it is essential for neuron, astrocyte, and microglial function, and its primary regulatory factors include antiapoptosis, oxidative stress, and the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), may benefit from a thorough and in-depth investigation of Sirt3. In this review, we primarily cover Sirt3's role and its regulation in the nerve cells and the connection between Sirt3 and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a neurological complication after surgery, is common among the elderly in particular. Maternal expression gene 3 (MEG3) is a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that contributes to glial cell activation and inflammation. We aim to further explore its role in POCD. Mice were induced with sevoflurane anesthesia and underwent orthopedic surgery to establish a POCD model. BV-2 microglia activation was induced by lipopolysaccharide. The overexpressed lentiviral plasmid lv-MEG3 and its control were injected into mice. pcDNA3.1-MEG3, has-miR-106a-5p mimic, and its negative control were transfected into BV-2 cells. The expressions of has-miR-106a-5p MEG3 and Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in rat hippocampus and BV-2 cells were quantitatively detected. Levels of SIRT3, TNF-α, and IL-1β were detected by western blot, levels of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA, and expression of GSH-Px, SOD, and MDA by kits. The targeting relationship between MEG3 and has-miR-106a-5p was confirmed using bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter assay. LncRNA MEG3 was down-regulated in POCD mice, whereas has-miR-106a-5 levels were up-regulated. Overexpression of MEG3 could attenuate cognitive dysfunction and inflammatory response in POCD mice, inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress in BV-2 cells, and promote has-miR-106a through competitive binding with has-miR-106a-5-5 expression of target gene SIRT3. Overexpression of has-miR-106a-5p had a reverse effect on overexpression of MEG3 functioning on lipopolysaccharide-induced BV-2 cells. LncRNA MEG3 could inhibit the inflammatory response and oxidative stress via has-miR-106a-5p/SIRT3, thereby reducing POCD, which might be a potential biological target for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical POCD.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme used in redox reactions, energy metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis. NAD+ is also required as a cofactor by nonredox NAD+-dependent enzymes. Hundreds of enzymes that consume NAD+ have been identified. The NAD+-consuming enzymes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as signal transduction, DNA repair, cellular senescence, and stem cell (SC) homeostasis. In this review, we discussed how different types of NAD+-consuming enzymes regulate SC functions and summarized current research on the roles of the NAD+ consumers in SC homeostasis. We hope to provide a more global and integrative insight to the mechanism and intervention of SC homeostasis via the regulation of the NAD+-consuming enzymes.

Abstract
Background Postoperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a common central nervous system (CNS) complication that might increase the morbidity and mortality of elderly patients after anesthesia/surgery. Neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and synaptic dysfunction are closely related to cognitive dysfunction, an important clinical feature of PND. Transcranial near-infrared laser (TNIL) is regarded as an effective treatment for cognitive-related diseases by improving mitochondrial function and alleviating neuroinflammation and oxidative stress damage. Materials and methods Aged male C57BL/6 mice underwent a carotid artery exposure procedure under isoflurane anesthesia. We treated PND-aged mice for three consecutive days (4 h post-operation, 1-laser) with 810 nm continuous wave (CW) laser 18 J/cm2 at 120 mW/cm2. The post-treatment evaluation included behavioral tests, RTq-PCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blot. Results The results demonstrated that TNIL improved PND and the levels of synaptic function-associated proteins such as post-synaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), synaptophysin (SYP), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Besides, neuroinflammatory cytokine levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β as well as microglia activation and oxidative stress damage were attenuated after TNIL treatment in aged mice with PND. Further investigation suggested that TNIL relieved oxidative stress response by activating the SIRT3/AMPK/Nrf2 pathway. Conclusion Transcranial near-infrared laser improved cognitive impairment in aged mice with PND, which may be a promising therapeutic for PND.

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

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

Abstract
Silent information regulators, sirtuins (SIRTs), are a family of enzymes which take part in major posttranslational modifications of proteins and contribute to multiple cellular processes, including metabolic and energetic transformations, as well as regulation of the cell cycle. Recently, SIRTs have gained increased attention as the object of research because of their multidirectional activity and possible role in the complex pathomechanisms underlying human diseases. The aim of this study was to review a current literature evidence of SIRTs' role in the physiology and pathology of the central nervous system (CNS). SIRTs have been demonstrated to be crucial players in the crosstalk between neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and metabolic alterations. The elucidation of SIRTs' role in the background of various CNS diseases offers a chance to define relevant markers of their progression and promising candidates for novel therapeutic targets. Possible diagnostic and therapeutic implications from SIRTs-related investigations are discussed, as well as their future directions and associated challenges.

Abstract
Both basic pathomechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease and some premises for stipulating a possible preventive role of some sirtuins, especially SIRT1 and SIRT3, protective against Alzheimer’s disease-related pathology, are discussed in this article. Sirtuins can inhibit some processes that underlie Alzheimer’s disease-related molecular pathology (e.g., neuroinflammation, neuroinflammation-related oxidative stress, Aβ aggregate deposition, and neurofibrillary tangle formation), thus preventing many of those pathologic alterations at relatively early stages of their development. Subsequently, the authors discuss in details which mechanisms of sirtuin action may prevent the development of Alzheimer’s disease, thus promoting brain homeostasis in the course of aging. In addition, a rationale for boosting sirtuin activity, both with allosteric activators and with NAD+ precursors, has been presented.

Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a channel that opens at the inner mitochondrial membrane under conditions of stress. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial deacetylase known to play a major role in stress resistance and a regulatory role in cell death. This systematic review aims to elucidate the role of Sirt3 in mPTP inhibition. Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched up to May 2020. Original studies that investigated the relationship between Sirt3 and mPTP were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study characteristics, methods and outcomes. A total of 194 articles were found. Twenty-nine articles, which met criteria were included in the systematic review. Twenty-three studies provided evidence of the inhibitory effect of Sirt3 on the mPTP aperture. This review summarizes up-to-date evidence of the protective and inhibitory role of Sirt3 through deacetylating Cyclophilin D (CypD) on the mPTP aperture. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of this effect in disease.

Abstract
Background Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial NAD+‐dependent deacetylase, has received much attention for its effect on metabolism and aging. However, the role of SIRT3 in periodontal disease remains unknown. Objective This study aimed to investigate the functional role of SIRT3 in age‐related periodontal disease and underlying mechanisms. Methods Sixteen mice were randomly assigned into four groups: the young wild type (WT), the aged WT, the young SIRT3‐knockout (KO), and the aged SIRT3‐KO. SIRT3 and cyclophilin D (CypD) expression and protein lysine acetylation levels in alveolar bones were detected by western blot. The bone architecture and the distance of CEJ‐ABC were assessed using micro‐CT and HE staining. The osteoclast number was observed through tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Mitochondrial morphology in SIRT3 knockdown MC3T3‐E1 osteoblastic cells was analyzed by Immunofluorescence staining. In gingival tissues, the NAD+/NADH ratio was measured, and oxidative stress was detected by MitoSOX staining, HO‐1 staining, and MnSOD expression. Mitochondrial biogenesis was measured by PGC‐1α expression and oxygen consumption rate (OCR). Results In parallel with the imbalanced NAD+/NADH ratio, the SIRT3 expression was significantly decreased in the alveolar bones of the aged mice, accompanied by a global elevation of protein acetylation levels. The aged SIRT3‐KO group showed the highest rate of bone resorption and the largest number of TRAP‐positive osteoclasts among the four groups. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species level was up‐regulated in the young and the aged SIRT3‐KO groups. SIRT3 deficiency promoted mitochondrial fission and increased the CypD expression. Furthermore, the lack of SIRT3 reduced the PGC‐1α expression in gingival tissues and exhibited a significant reduction in maximal OCR. Conclusion Reduced SIRT3 abundance contributes to aged‐related periodontal disease via the exacerbation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, which is associated with memory deficit and global cognitive decline. Age is the greatest risk factor for AD and, in recent years, it is becoming increasingly appreciated that aging-related neuroinflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of AD. The presence of β-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the primary pathological hallmarks of AD; defects which can then activate a cascade of molecular inflammatory pathways in glial cells. Microglia, the resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS), are the major triggers of inflammation; a response which is typically intended to prevent further damage to the CNS. However, persistent microglial activation (i.e., neuroinflammation) is toxic to both neurons and glia, which then leads to neurodegeneration. Growing evidence supports a central role for sirtuins in the regulation of neuroinflammation. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases that modulate a number of cellular processes associated with inflammation. This review examines the latest findings regarding AD-associated neuroinflammation, mainly focusing on the connections among the microglial molecular pathways of inflammation. Furthermore, we highlight the biology of sirtuins, and their role in neuroinflammation. Suppression of microglial activity through modulation of the sirtuin activity has now become a key area of research, where progress in therapeutic interventions may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening is critical to mitochondrial apoptosis during ischemic injury. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial deacetylase known to play a major role in stress resistance and cell death. Our previous studies have shown that Sirt3 activates superoxide dismutase 2 and forkhead box O3a to reduce cellular reactive oxygen species. However, it is unclear the interaction between Sirt3 and mPTP and the roles they play in ischemic stroke. We used the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, a mouse model of stroke, to examine Sirt3 and mPTP-related protein levels. We then applied lentivirus packaged Sirt3 overexpression in HT22 cells, a mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line, to investigate the underlying mechanism. We found Sirt3 protein level was decreased in the penumbra area in MCAO mice, along with an increase in mPTP related proteins, namely voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) and adenine nucleotide translocator 1 (ANT1). Sirt3 overexpression suppressed the increase in VDAC1, ANT1 and cleaved caspase 3 that were induced by the serum and glucose deprivation (SGD) condition. Our studies suggest that ischemic injury induced mPTP opening and apoptosis by reducing Sirt3. It helps to identify new therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
As the brain-resident innate immune cells, reactive microglia are a major pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the exact role of microglia is still unclear in AD pathogenesis. Here, using metabolic profiling, we show that microglia energy metabolism is significantly suppressed during chronic Aβ-tolerant processes including oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis via the mTOR-AKT-HIF-1α pathway. Pharmacological activation of TRPV1 rescues Aβ-tolerant microglial dysfunction, the AKT/mTOR pathway activity, and metabolic impairments and restores the immune responses including phagocytic activity and autophagy function. Amyloid pathology and memory impairment are accelerated in microglia-specific TRPV1-knockout APP/PS1 mice. Finally, we showed that metabolic boosting with TRPV1 agonist decreases amyloid pathology and reverses memory deficits in AD mice model. These results indicate that TRPV1 is an important target regulating metabolic reprogramming for microglial functions in AD treatment.

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

Abstract
Aging is a dynamic and progressive process that begins at conception and continues until death. This process leads to a decrease in homeostasis and morphological, biochemical and psychological changes, increasing the individual’s vulnerability to various diseases. The growth in the number of aging populations has increased the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, impairment of the central nervous system and dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease, whose main risk factor is age, leading to an increase of the number of individuals who need daily support for life activities. Some theories about aging suggest it is caused by an increase of cellular senescence and reactive oxygen species, which leads to inflammation, oxidation, cell membrane damage and consequently neuronal death. Also, mitochondrial mutations, which are generated throughout the aging process, can lead to changes in energy production, deficiencies in electron transport and apoptosis induction that can result in decreased function. Additionally, increasing cellular senescence and the release of proinflammatory cytokines can cause irreversible damage to neuronal cells. Recent reports point to the importance of changing lifestyle by increasing physical exercise, improving nutrition and environmental enrichment to activate neuroprotective defense mechanisms. Therefore, this review aims to address the latest information about the different mechanisms related to neuroplasticity and neuronal death and to provide strategies that can improve neuroprotection and decrease the neurodegeneration caused by aging and environmental stressors.

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

Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent enzymes that have a predominant role in neurodegenerative disorders and also regulate the inflammatory process, protein aggregation, etc. The relation between Sirtuins with that of the nervous system and neurodegeneration are widely studied consequently. Sirtuins have a strong role in metabolic syndrome in mitochondria also. The activities of Sirtuins can be altered by using small molecules that would be developed into drugs and it is proven that manipulation of SIRT1 activity influences neurodegenerative disease models. They are especially thrilling since using small molecules, which would be developed into a drug, it is feasible to alter the activities of sirtuins. Different functions of Sirtuins are depended upon their subcellular localization. In this review paper, we are discussing different Sirtuins, differential expression of sirtuins, and expression of sirtuin in the brain and briefly about sirtuin3 (SIRT3).

Gastrodin Regulates the Notch Signaling Pathway and Sirt3 in Activated Microglia in Cerebral Hypoxic-Ischemia Neonatal Rats and in Activated BV-2 Microglia. Neuromolecular Med 2020; 23:348-362.

Abstract
In response to hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD), microglia activation and its mediated inflammation contribute to neuronal damage. Inhibition of over-activated microglia is deemed to be a potential therapeutic strategy. Our previous studies showed that gastrodin efficiently depressed the neuroinflammation mediated by activated microglia in HIBD neonatal rats. The underlying mechanisms through which gastrodin acts on activated microglia have not been fully elucidated. This study is designed to determine whether gastrodin would regulate the Notch signaling pathway and Sirtuin3 (Sirt3), which are implicated in regulating microglia activation. The present results showed that gastrodin markedly suppressed the expression of members of Notch signaling pathway (Notch-1, NICD, RBP-JK and Hes-1) in activated microglia both in vivo and in vitro. Conversely, Sirt3 expression was enhanced. In BV-2 microglia treated with a γ-secretase inhibitor of Notch pathway- DAPT, the expression of RBP-JK, Hes-1, and NICD was suppressed in activated microglia. Treatment with DAPT and gastrodin further decreased NICD and Hes-1 expression. Sirt3 expression was also decreased after DAPT treatment. However, Sirt3 expression in activated BV-2 microglia given a combined DAPT and gastrodin treatment was not further increased. In addition, combination of DAPT and Gastrodin cumulatively decreased tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression. The results suggest that gastrodin regulates microglia activation via the Notch signaling pathway and Sirt3. More importantly, interference of the Notch signaling pathway inhibited Sirt3 expression, indicating that Sirt3 is a downstream gene of the Notch signaling pathway. It is suggested that Notch and Sirt3 synergistically regulate microglia activation such as in TNF-α production.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a challenging and disabling condition particularly in the secondary progressive (SP) phase of this disease. The available treatments cannot ameliorate or stop disease progression in this phase, and there is an urgent need to focus on effective therapies and the molecular pathways involved SPMS. Given the significant impact of neurodegeneration, autoimmunity and metabolic alterations in MS, focusing on the molecules that target these different pathways could help in finding new treatments. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+ dependent epigenetic and metabolic regulators, which have critical roles in the physiology of central nervous system, immune system and metabolism. Based on these facts, SIRTs are crucial candidates of therapeutic targets in MS and collecting the information related to MS disease for each SIRT individually is noteworthy and highlights the lack of investigation in each part. In this review we summarized the role of different sirtuins as key regulator in neurodegeneration, autoimmunity and metabolism pathways. We also clarify the rationale behind selecting SIRTs as therapeutic targets in MS disease by collecting the researches showing alteration of these proteins in human samples of MS patients and animal model of MS, and also the improvement of modeled animals after SIRT-directed treatments.

Abstract
EndMT has an important effect on metastasis and progression of tumor. This work will elucidate the effect of miR-494 on EndMT and development of HCC. Therefore, the differential miRNA expression among non-tumorous, para-tumorous and tumorous tissues was analyzed. Moreover, luciferase activities of SIRT3 3′UTR treated with miR-494 were determined. Then human hepatoma cell lines were dealt with mimics or inhibitors of miR-494, migration and proliferation ability were assessed. The expression of SIRT3 and markers of mesenchymal cell were analyzed. The influences of miR-494 on development of HCC through inducing EndMT by targeting SIRT3 and TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathways in hepatoma cell lines were investigated. Xenograft mice were used to explore the potential roles of miR-494 on EndMT and development of HCC in vivo. Our results showed that, compared with non-tumorous tissues, 17 miRNAs were upregulated and 3 miRNAs were down-regulated in tumor tissues. In tumor tissues, the miR-494 expression level was much more than the expression of para-tumorous and non-tumorous tissues. MiR-494 suppressed SIRT3 expression, additionally enhanced expression of mesenchymal cell markers, while exerted effects on cell proliferation and migration of hepatoma cell lines. Moreover, the antagomir of miR-494 could protect against development process in xenogarft murine model. In conclusions, our work demonstrated that miR-494 targeted to SIRT3, and was a crucial mediator of EndMT and development of HCC through regulating SIRT3/TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway. It suggested that aim at SIRT3/TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway through suppressing the miR-494 expression level, was a feasible therapy strategy for HCC.

Abstract
Microglia activation-mediated neuroinflammation plays an important role in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, effects of microglia activation on dopaminergic neuronal cell (DAC) fate are still poorly understood. The objective of this study was to explore the neurotoxic effects of microglia activation-mediated oxidative injury in DACs and its possible mechanisms. In the present study, microglia-DACs co-culture systems (murine BV-2 and MN9D cells, or primary microglia and mesencephalic neurons) were used to display the crosstalk between both cell types. The cytotoxicity of lipopolysaccharide-induced microglia activation led to the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, increased cell apoptosis rate, reduced number of DACs, concomitant to cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Molecular mechanisms of apoptosis caused by microglia activation-induced oxidative injury included the increased opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and enhanced membrane potential depolarization in MN9D cells, down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax, caspase-3 expression in DACs. In addition, microglia activation made a significant reduction of SIRT3 and superoxide dismutase 2 gene expression in DACs. Taken together, these data imply that microglia activation promotes cell apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway and decreases SIRT3 expression in DACs, which may provide some support for PD progression promoted by neuroinflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury is a complex pathophysiologic process associated with high morbidity and mortality. We have demonstrated elsewhere that diabetes mellitus aggravated ischemia-induced lung injury. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are drivers of diabetic lung ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, the pathways that mediate these events are unexplored. In this study using a high-fat diet-fed model of streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes in rats, we determined the effect of hydrogen sulfide on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury with a focus on Sirtuin3 signaling. METHODS Rats with type 2 diabetes were exposed to GYY4137, a slow release donor of hydrogen sulfide with or without administration of the Sirtuin3 short hairpin ribonucleic acid plasmid, and then subjected to a surgical model of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the lung (n = 8). Lung function, oxidative stress, inflammation, cell apoptosis, and mitochondrial function were measured. RESULTS Compared with nondiabetic rats, animals with type 2 diabetes at baseline exhibited significantly decreased Sirtuin3 signaling in lung tissue and increased oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction (P < .05 each). In addition, further impairment in Sirtuin3 signaling was found in diabetic rats subjected to this model of lung ischemia-reperfusion. Simultaneously, the indexes showed further aggravation. Treatment with hydrogen sulfide restored Sirtuin3 expression and decreased lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in animals with type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving lung functional recovery, decreasing oxidative damage, suppressing inflammation, ameliorating cell apoptosis, and preserving mitochondrial function (P < .05). Conversely, these protective effects were largely reversed in Sirtuin3 knockdown rats. CONCLUSION Impaired lung Sirtuin3 signaling associated with type 2 diabetic conditions was further attenuated by an ischemia-reperfusion insult. Hydrogen sulfide ameliorated reperfusion-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction via activation of Sirtuin3 signaling, thereby decreasing lung ischemia-reperfusion damage in rats with a model of type II diabetes.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, there are seven members of the sirtuin protein family (SIRT1-7). SIRT1, SIRT6, and SIRT7 catalyze posttranslational modification of proteins in the nucleus, SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 are in the mitochondria and SIRT2 is in the cytosol. SIRT1 can deacetylate the transcription factor SOX2 and regulate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) reprogramming through the miR-34a-SIRT1-p53 axis. SIRT2 can regulate the function of pluripotent stem cells through GSK3β. SIRT3 can positively regulate PPAR gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) expression during the differentiation of stem cells. SIRT4 has no direct role in regulating reprogramming but may have the potential to prevent senescence of somatic cells and to facilitate the reprogramming of iPSCs. SIRT5 can deacetylate STAT3, which is an important transcription factor in regulating pluripotency and differentiation of stem cells. SIRT6 can enhance the reprogramming efficiency of iPSCs from aged skin fibroblasts through miR-766 and increase the expression levels of the reprogramming genes including Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog through acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56. SIRT7 plays a regulatory role in the process of mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), which has been suggested to be a crucial process in the generation of iPSCs from fibroblasts. In this review, we summarize recent findings of the roles of sirtuins in the metabolic reprogramming and differentiation of stem cells and discuss the bidirectional changes in the gene expression and activities of sirtuins in the commitment of differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and reprogramming of somatic cells to iPSCs, respectively. Thus, understanding the molecular basis of the interplay between different sirtuins and mitochondrial function will provide new insights into the regulation of differentiation of stem cells and iPSCs formation, respectively, and may help design effective stem cell therapies for regenerative medicine. Impact statement This is an extensive review of the recent advances in our understanding of the roles of some members of the sirtuins family, such as SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, and SIRT6, in the regulation of intermediary metabolism during stem cell differentiation and in the reprogramming of somatic cells to form induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This article provides an updated integrated view on the mechanisms by which sirtuins-mediated posttranslational protein modifications regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, bioenergetics, and antioxidant defense in the maintenance and differentiation of stem cells and in iPSCs formation, respectively.

SIRT3 activator honokiol ameliorates surgery/anesthesia-induced cognitive decline in mice through anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory in hippocampus. CNS Neurosci Ther 2018; 25:355-366. [PMID: 30296006 DOI: 10.1111/cns.13053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2018] [Revised: 07/27/2018] [Accepted: 07/31/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Increasing evidence indicates that neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress play two pivotal roles in cognitive impairment after surgery. Honokiol (HNK), as an activator of Sirtuin3 (SIRT3), has potential multiple biological functions. The aim of these experiments is to evaluate the effects of HNK on surgery/anesthesia-induced cognitive decline in mice. METHODS Adult C57BL/6 mice received a laparotomy under sevoflurane anesthesia and HNK or SIRT3 inhibitor (3-TYP) treatment. Cognitive function and locomotor activity of mice were evaluated using fear conditioning test and open field test on postoperative 1 and 3 days. Neuronal apoptosis in CA1 and CA3 area of hippocampus was examined using TUNEL assay. And Western blot was applied to measure the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and SIRT3/SOD2 signaling-associated proteins in hippocampus. Meanwhile, SIRT3 positive cells were calculated by immunohistochemistry. The mitochondrial membrane potential, malondialdehyde (MDA), and mitochondrial radical oxygen species (mtROS) were detected using standard methods. RESULTS Honokiol attenuated surgery-induced memory loss and neuronal apoptosis, decreased neuroinflammatory response, and ameliorated oxidative damage in hippocampus. Notably, surgery/anesthesia induced an obviously decrease in hippocampal SIRT3 expression, whereas the HNK increased SIRT3 expression and thus decreased the acetylation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). However, 3-TYP treatment inhibited the HNK's rescuing effects. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that activation of SIRT3 by honokiol may attenuate surgery/anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment in mice through regulation of oxidative stress and neuroinflammatory in hippocampus.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) can accumulate in a variety of cell types or tissues and exert biological effects, which have been demonstrated to induce apoptosis in hepatoblastoma cells. However, the role and molecular mechanisms of SWNHs remain unclear. The mitochondrion is an important subcellular structure and may contribute to apoptosis that is induced by SWNHs in hepatoblastoma cells. To address this question, the mitochondrial function of HepG2 or L02 cells that were treated with SWNHs was examined. The results indicated that SWNHs were able to decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential and suppress the activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase. Secondly, HepG2 cells and L02 cells were treated with SWNHs in vivo and in vitro. The expression of mitochondrial-associated proteins [acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 1, Bax, cytochrome C (CYT-C), sodium channel epithelial 1α subunit, sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and voltage-dependent anion channel 1] was analyzed by western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. The results revealed that SWNH treatment was able to alter the expression of multiple mitochondrial apoptotic pathway-associated proteins in HepG2 cells. SWNH treatment was able upregulate the expression of SIRT3, CYT-C and VDAC1 and downregulate the expression of AceCS2, but it had a more stable effect on SIRT3. However, similar findings were not observed in L02 cells. Therefore, the data from the present study indicated that SWNHs might be used as a safe anticancer agent, where it is able to trigger mitochondrial dysfunction-induced apoptosis by upregulating SIRT3 expression in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
AIMS Sirt3 is one member of the NAD+ -dependent protein deacetylase family and plays crucial roles in diverse aspects of mammalian biological function. Then the role of Sirt3 on ischemia stroke is unknown. METHODS To examine the effect of Sirt3 on ischemic stroke, we performed transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) in adult male Sirt3 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. RESULTS The level of Sirt3 in infarct region is decreased after ischemic stroke. In addition, we found that Sirt3 KO mice showed worse neurobehavioral outcome compared with WT mice, accompanied by decreased neurogenesis and angiogenesis as shown by the reduction in number of DCX+ /BrdU+ cells, NeuN+ /BrdU+ cells, and CD31+ /BrdU+ cells in the perifocal region during recovery phase after ischemic stroke. Furthermore, Sirt3 deficiency reduced the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), AKT, and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) signaling pathways. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that Sirt3 is beneficial to neurovascular and functional recovery following chronic ischemic stroke.

Phytother Res 2018; 32:1126-1134.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is the major cause of acute cardiovascular disease worldwide. 14-3-3η protein has been demonstrated to protect myocardium against I/R injury. Luteoloside (Lut), a flavonoid found in many Chinese herbs, exerts myocardial protection effects. However, the mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that the cardioprotective role of Lut is exerted by regulating the 14-3-3η signal pathway. To investigate our hypothesis, an in vitro I/R model was generated in H9C2 cardiomyocytes by anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) treatment. The effects of Lut on cardiomyocytes with A/R injury were assessed by determining the cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase levels, intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP) openness, caspase-3 activity, and apoptosis rate. The effects on protein expression were tested using western blot analysis. Lut attenuated A/R-induced injury to cardiomyocytes by increasing the expression of 14-3-3η protein and cell viability; decreasing levels of lactate dehydrogenase, reactive oxygen species, mPTP openness, caspase-3 activity, and low apoptosis rate were observed. However, the cardioprotective effects of Lut were blocked by AD14-3-3ηRNAi, an adenovirus knocking down the intracellular 14-3-3η expression. In conclusion, to our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that Lut protected cardiomyocytes from A/R-induced injury via the regulation of 14-3-3η signaling pathway.

Ginsenoside Rg1 Decreases Oxidative Stress and Down-Regulates Akt/mTOR Signalling to Attenuate Cognitive Impairment in Mice and Senescence of Neural Stem Cells Induced by D-Galactose. Neurochem Res 2017; 43:430-440. [PMID: 29147958 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-017-2438-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2017] [Revised: 11/09/2017] [Accepted: 11/14/2017] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis plays a pivotal role in learning and memory. The suppression of hippocampal neurogenesis induced by an increase of oxidative stress is closely related to cognitive impairment. Neural stem cells which persist in the adult vertebrate brain keep up the production of neurons over the lifespan. The balance between pro-oxidants and anti-oxidants is important for function and surviving of neural stem cells. Ginsenoside Rg1 is one of the most active components of Panax ginseng, and many studies suggest that ginsenosides have antioxidant properties. This research explored the effects and underlying mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg1 on protecting neural stem cells (NSCs) from oxidative stress. The sub-acute ageing of C57BL/6 mice was induced by subcutaneous injection of D-gal (120 mg kg-1 day-1) for 42 day. On the 14th day of D-gal injection, the mice were treated with ginsenoside Rg1 (20 mg kg-1 day-1, intraperitoneally) or normal saline for 28 days. The study monitored the effects of Rg1 on proliferation, senescence-associated and oxidative stress biomarkers, and Akt/mTOR signalling pathway in NSCs. Compared with the D-gal group, Rg1 improved cognitive impairment induced by D-galactose in mice by attenuating senescence of neural stem cells. Rg1 also decreased the level of oxidative stress, with increased the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in vivo and in vitro. Rg1 furthermore reduced the phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (Akt) and the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and down-regulated the levels of downstream p53, p16, p21 and Rb in D-gal treated NSCs. The results suggested that the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on attenuating cognitive impairment in mice and senescence of NSCs induced by D-gal might be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and the down-regulation of Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Methamphetamine (METH) abuse causes serious health problems worldwide, and long-term use of METH disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, we explored the potential mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in METH-induced BBB endothelial cell damage in vitro and the therapeutic potential of endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitors for METH-induced BBB disruption in C57BL/6J mice. Exposure of immortalized BMVEC (bEnd.3) cells to METH significantly decreased cell viability, induced apoptosis, and diminished the tightness of cell monolayers. METH activated ER stress sensor proteins, including PERK, ATF6, and IRE1, and upregulated the pro-apoptotic protein CHOP. The ER stress inhibitors significantly blocked the upregulation of CHOP. Knockdown of CHOP protected bEnd.3 cells from METH-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, METH elevated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced the dysfunction of mitochondrial characterized by a Bcl2/Bax ratio decrease, mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, and cytochrome c. ER stress release was partially reversed by ROS inhibition, and cytochrome c release was partially blocked by knockdown of CHOP. Finally, PBA significantly attenuated METH-induced sodium fluorescein (NaFluo) and Evans Blue leakage, as well as tight junction protein loss, in C57BL/6J mice. These data suggest that BBB endothelial cell damage was caused by METH-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, which further induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and that PBA was an effective treatment for METH-induced BBB disruption.
