Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that peritoneal fibrosis induced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) is linked to oxidative stress. However, there are currently no effective interventions for peritoneal fibrosis. In the present study, we explored whether adding caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) to peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF) improved peritoneal fibrosis caused by PD and explored the molecular mechanism. We established a peritoneal fibrosis model in Sprague-Dawley rats through intraperitoneal injection of PDF and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Rats in the PD group showed increased peritoneal thickness, submesothelial collagen deposition, and the expression of TGFβ1 and α-SMA. Adding CAPE to PDF significantly inhibited PD-induced submesothelial thickening, reduced TGFβ1 and α-SMA expression, alleviated peritoneal fibrosis, and improved the peritoneal ultrafiltration function. In vitro, peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) treated with PDF showed inhibition of the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway, mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, overproduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased ATP synthesis, and induction of mesothelial-mesenchymal transition (MMT). CAPE activated the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, reducing mitochondrial ROS generation, and maintaining ATP synthesis. However, the beneficial effects of CAPE were counteracted by an AMPK inhibitor and siSIRT1. Our results suggest that CAPE maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by upregulating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway, which alleviates oxidative stress and MMT, thereby mitigating the damage to the peritoneal structure and function caused by PD. These findings suggest that adding CAPE to PDF may prevent and treat peritoneal fibrosis.

Abstract
The globus pallidus externus (GPe) is a central component of the basal ganglia circuit, receiving strong input from the indirect pathway and regulating a variety of functions, including locomotor output and habit formation. We recently showed that it also acts as a gatekeeper of cocaine-induced behavioral plasticity, as inhibition of parvalbumin-positive cells in the GPe (GPe PV ) prevents the development of cocaine-induced reward and sensitization. However, the molecular and circuit mechanisms underlying this function are unknown. Here we show that GPe PV cells control cocaine reward and sensitization by inhibiting GABAergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr GABA ), and ultimately, selectively modulating the activity of ventral tegmental area dopamine (VTA DA ) cells projecting to the lateral shell of the nucleus accumbens (NAcLat). A major input to GPe PV cells is the indirect pathway of the dorsomedial striatum (DMS D 2 ), which receives DAergic innervation from collaterals of VTA DA →NAcLat cells, making this a closed-loop circuit. Cocaine likely facilitates reward and sensitization not directly through actions in the GPe, but rather in the upstream DMS, where the cocaine-induced elevation of DA triggers a depression in DMS D 2 cell activity. This cocaine-induced elevation in DA levels can be blocked by inhibition of GPe PV cells, closing the loop. Interestingly, the level of GPe PV cell activity prior to cocaine administration is correlated with the extent of reward and sensitization that animals experience in response to future administration of cocaine, indicating that GPe PV cell activity is a key predictor of future behavioral responses to cocaine. Single nucleus RNA-sequencing of GPe cells indicated that genes encoding voltage-gated potassium channels KCNQ3 and KCNQ5 that control intrinsic cellular excitability are downregulated in GPe PV cells following a single cocaine exposure, contributing to the elevation in GPe PV cell excitability. Acutely activating channels containing KCNQ3 and/or KCNQ5 using the small molecule carnosic acid, a key psychoactive component of Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary) extract, reduced GPe PV cell excitability and also impaired cocaine reward, sensitization, and volitional cocaine intake, indicating its potential as a therapeutic to counteract psychostimulant use disorder. Our findings illuminate the molecular and circuit mechanisms by which the GPe orchestrates brain-wide changes in response to cocaine that are required for reward, sensitization, and self-administration behaviors.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common and fatal cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity, mortality and very poor prognosis worldwide. SAH can induce a complex series of pathophysiological processes, and the main factors affecting its prognosis are early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). The pathophysiological features of EBI mainly include intense neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, neuronal cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction and brain edema, while DCI is characterized by delayed onset ischemic neurological deficits and cerebral vasospasm (CVS). Despite much exploration in people to improve the prognostic outcome of SAH, effective treatment strategies are still lacking. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that natural compounds of plant origin have unique neuro- and vascular protective effects in EBI and DCI after SAH and long-term neurological deficits, which mainly include inhibition of inflammatory response, reduction of oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis, and improvement of blood-brain barrier and cerebral vasospasm. The aim of this paper is to systematically explore the processes of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in SAH, and to summarize natural compounds as potential targets for improving the prognosis of SAH and their related mechanisms of action for future therapies.

Carnosic acid mitigates doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity: Evidence from animal and cell model investigations. IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES 2024; 27:425-438. [PMID: 38419896 PMCID: PMC10897553 DOI: 10.22038/ijbms.2023.71508.15544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Utilization of doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapy medication is limited due to its cardiotoxic effects. Carnosic acid exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, besides cytoprotective effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of carnosic acid to protect rat hearts and the MCF7 cell line against cardiotoxicity induced by DOX. Materials and Methods The study involved the classification of male Wistar rats into seven groups: 1) Control 2) DOX (2 mg/kg, every 48h, IP, 12d), 3-5) Carnosic acid (10, 20, 40 mg/kg/day, IP, 16d)+ DOX, 6) Vitamin E (200 mg/kg, every 48h, IP, 16d)+ DOX 7) Carnosic acid (40 mg/kg/day, IP, 16d). Finally, cardiac histopathological alterations, ECG factors, carotid blood pressure, left ventricular function, heart-to-body weight ratio, oxidative (MDA, GSH), inflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α), plus apoptosis (caspase 3, 8, 9, Bcl-2, Bax) markers were evaluated. DOX toxicity and carnosic acid ameliorative effect were evaluated on MCF7 cells using the MTT assay. Results DOX augmented the QRS duration, QA, RRI, STI, and heart-to-body weight ratio, and reduced HR, LVDP, Min dP/dt, Max dP/dt, blood pressure, boosted MDA, TNF-α, IL1-β, caspase 3,8,9, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, decreased GSH content, caused fibrosis, necrosis, and cytoplasmic vacuolization in cardiac tissue but carnosic acid administration reduced the toxic effects of DOX. The cytotoxic effects of DOX were not affected by carnosic acid at concentrations of 5 and 10 μM. Conclusion Carnosic acid as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substance is effective in reducing DOX-induced damage by enhancing antioxidant defense and modifying inflammatory signal pathway activity and can be used as an adjunct in treating DOX cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Small graphene oxide (s-GO) nanosheets reversibly downregulate central nervous system (CNS) excitatory synapses, with potential developments as future therapeutic tools to treat neuro-disorders characterized by altered glutamatergic transmission. Excitotoxicity, namely cell death triggered by exceeding ambient glutamate fueling over-activation of excitatory synapses, is a pathogenic mechanism shared by several neural diseases, from ischemic stroke to neurodegenerative disorders. In this work, CNS cultures were exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) to mimic ischemic stroke in vitro, and it is show that the delivery of s-GO following OGD, during the endogenous build-up of secondary damage and excitotoxicity, improved neuronal survival. In a different paradigm, excitotoxicity cell damage was reproduced through exogenous glutamate application, and s-GO co-treatment protected neuronal integrity, potentially by directly downregulating the synaptic over-activation brought about by exogenous glutamate. This proof-of-concept study suggests that s-GO may find novel applications in therapeutic developments for treating excitotoxicity-driven neural cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is an intractable medical problem linked with to high morbidity and mortality all over the worldglobally. The prognosis of advanced acute lung injury remains persistently poor due to its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Despite advancements in medical research, the its prognosis of advanced ALI remains persistently poor due to unclear underlying mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the protective effects of silencing information regulator 1 (SIRT1) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injuryALI and to reveal its underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Male Sprague--Dawley rats were divided grouped into 4 groupsfour: normal saline group (group NS), lipopolysaccharide group (group L), SIRT1 activator SRT1720-pretreated group (group S), and SIRT1 inhibitor EX527- pretreated group (group E). Rats They were intranasally dripped with LPS to establish the model of ALI modelsacute lung injury respectively. We investigated the effect of SIRT1 on acute lung injury by analysing We analyzed the CT images of the rat lungs and used, HE staining, lung wet-to-dry ratio, inflammatory factor expression, lung injury marker expression, immunohistochemistry, and related mRNA expression to determine the effect of SIRT1 on ALI. RESULTS Our results show that LPS induction produced resulted in acute lung injury, ALI and disrupting disrupted normal SIRT1 expression, which led to the overexpression of STAT3, TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6 and suppression of Cav-1 expression. Upregulation The upregulation of Cav-1 protein and mRNA following the administration of an SIRT1 agonist resulted in reduced lung injury. SRT1720 pretreatment was closely associated with reduced expressions of STAT3,TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6. ALI lung injury was more severeworsened after administration of SIRT1 inhibitors, and the changes in the above indicators were reversed. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that SIRT1 may protect against LPS-induced acute lung injuryALI via by counteracting inflammatory remissionion, and this protective effect might may be mediated by suppressing STAT3 to activate the expression ofinduce Cav-1 expression.

Abstract
The subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an important cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. As a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase, silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) is a multipotent molecule involved in many pathophysiological processes. A growing number of studies have demonstrated that Sirt1 activation may exert positive effects on SAHs by regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. Thus, Sirt1 agonists may serve as potential therapeutic drugs for SAHs. In this review, we summarized the current state of our knowledge on the relationship between Sirt1 and SAHs and provided an updated overview of the downstream molecules of Sirt1 in SAHs.

Abstract
Carnosic acid is a diterpenoid abundantly present in plants belonging to the genus Rosmarinus and Salvia of the family Lamiaceae, accounting for their application in traditional medicine. The diverse biological properties of carnosic acid that include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic activities have instigated studies on its mechanistic role, providing further insights into its potential as a therapeutic agent. Accumulating evidence has established the relevance of carnosic acid as a neuroprotective agent exhibiting therapeutic efficacy in combatting neuronal-injury-induced disorders. The physiological importance of carnosic acid in the mitigation of neurodegenerative disorders is just beginning to be understood. This review summarizes the current data on the mode of action through which carnosic acid exerts its neuroprotective role that may serve to strategize novel therapeutic approaches for these debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Carnosic acid (CA) and carnosol (CAR) are two major diterpenes of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis). They possess a phenolic structural moiety and are endowed with the power to remove cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) either through direct scavenging reaction or indirectly through upregulation of antioxidant defences. Hand in hand with these activities are their multiple biological effects and therapeutic potential orchestrated through modulating various signalling pathways of inflammation, including the NF-κB, MAPK, Nrf2, SIRT1, STAT3 and NLRP3 inflammasomes, among others. Consequently, they ameliorate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6), adhesion molecules, chemokines and prostaglandins. These anti-inflammatory mechanisms of action as a therapeutic link to various effects of these compounds, as in many other natural products, are scrutinised.

Abstract
Stroke is a fatal cerebral vascular disease with a high mortality rate and substantial economic and social costs. ROS production and neuroinflammation have been implicated in both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke and have the most critical effects on subsequent brain injury. SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family, plays a crucial role in modulating a wide range of physiological processes, including apoptosis, DNA repair, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. Targeting SIRT1 to reduce ROS and neuroinflammation might represent an emerging therapeutic target for stroke. Therefore, we conducted the present review to summarize the mechanisms of SIRT1-mediated oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in stroke. In addition, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the effect of compounds and natural drugs on SIRT1 signaling related to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in stroke. We believe that our work will be helpful to further understand the critical role of the SIRT1 signaling pathway and will provide novel therapeutic potential for stroke treatment.

Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles responsible for cellular energy production. Besides, regulating energy homeostasis, mitochondria are responsible for calcium homeostasis, signal transmission, and the fate of cellular survival in case of injury and pathologies. Accumulating reports have suggested multiple roles of mitochondria in neuropathologies, neurodegeneration, and immune activation under physiological and pathological conditions. Mitochondrial dysfunction, which occurs at the initial phase of brain injury, involves oxidative stress, inflammation, deficits in mitochondrial bioenergetics, biogenesis, transport, and autophagy. Thus, development of targeted therapeutics to protect mitochondria may improve functional outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). In this review, we summarize mitochondrial dysfunction related to TBI and ICH, including the mechanisms involved, and discuss therapeutic approaches with special emphasis on past and current clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Many therapies designed to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and improve neurological outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have failed, likely because of targeting only one element of what has proven to be a multifactorial disease. We previously demonstrated that initiating hypoxic conditioning before SAH (hypoxic preconditioning) provides powerful protection against DCI. Here, we expanded upon these findings to determine whether hypoxic conditioning delivered at clinically relevant time points after SAH (hypoxic postconditioning) provides similarly robust DCI protection. Methods and Results In this study, we found that hypoxic postconditioning (8% O2 for 2 hours) initiated 3 hours after SAH provides strong protection against cerebral vasospasm, microvessel thrombi, and neurological deficits. By pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) using EX527 and global Sirt1-/- mice, respectively, we demonstrated that this multifaceted DCI protection is SIRT1 mediated. Moreover, genetic overexpression of SIRT1 using Sirt1-Tg mice, mimicked the DCI protection afforded by hypoxic postconditioning. Finally, we found that post-SAH administration of resveratrol attenuated cerebral vasospasm, microvessel thrombi, and neurological deficits, and did so in a SIRT1-dependent fashion. Conclusions The present study indicates that hypoxic postconditioning provides powerful DCI protection when initiated at clinically relevant time points, and that pharmacologic augmentation of SIRT1 activity after SAH can mimic this beneficial effect. We conclude that conditioning-based therapies administered after SAH hold translational promise for patients with SAH and warrant further investigation.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2020; 13:3821-3830. [PMID: 33116729 PMCID: PMC7585782 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s276184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of impaired renal function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Mogroside IIIE (MG IIIE), a cucurbitane-type compound isolated from Siraitia grosvenorii, in high glucose (HG)-induced podocytes and the possible mechanisms. METHODS MPC-5 cells were cultured under normal glucose or HG conditions. After treatment with MG IIIE, cell viability was examined using a cell counting kit-8 assay. The contents of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress-related markers were determined using the corresponding kits. Additionally, apoptosis of MPC-5 cells was determined using flow cytometry assay and the levels of apoptosis-associated proteins were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Moreover, the expression of proteins in AMPK/SIRT1 signaling was tested and the compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, was used to study whether the effects of MG IIIE on HG-induced MPC-5 cells were mediated by activation of the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway. RESULTS MG IIIE elevated the cell viability of HG-induced MPC-5 cells, reduced the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and decreased the levels of oxidative stress-related markers. What's more, the apoptosis of podocytes induced by HG was inhibited after MG IIIE intervention, accompanied by the upregulated expression of Bcl-2 and downregulated expression of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9. It was also found that MG IIIE could activate the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling, but compound C inhibited this pathway and reversed the inhibitory effects of MG IIIE on inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in HG-stimulated podocytes. CONCLUSION MG IIIE can alleviate HG-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of podocytes by the activation of AMPK-SIRT1 signaling.

Irisin alleviates pulmonary epithelial barrier dysfunction in sepsis-induced acute lung injury via activation of AMPK/SIRT1 pathways. Biomed Pharmacother 2019; 118:109363. [PMID: 31545277 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2019.109363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 87] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alveolar epithelial barrier dysfunction in response to inflammatory reaction contributes to pulmonary edema in acute lung injury(ALI).Irisin,a newly-found myokine,exerts the anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to investigate the protective effects of irisin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALIin vivo and in vitro, and to explore its underlying mechanism. METHODS Male SD rats and A549 cells were divided into 4 groups: control group, LPS group, Irisin pretreated group, and Irisin/Compound C(a special inhibitor of AMPK)-treated group. The ALI model was established by intravenous injection of LPS in rats, and LPS challenge in A549 cells. Pulmonary specimens were harvested for microscopic examination of the pathological changes, and the expression of AMPK,SIRT1,NF-κB, p66Shc and caspase-3 in lung tissues. The pulmonary permeability were examined by wet/dry lung weight ratio(W/D) and lung permeability index(LPI). The apoptotic index, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), monocyte chemoattractant activating protein-1 (MCP-1), tight junctions (occludin,ZO-1) were determined both in lung tissue and A549 cells. RESULTS Irisin alleviated lung histological changes and decreased pulmonary microvascular permeability in LPS-induced rats. Irisin up-regulated the expression of occludin, ZO-1,AMPK,SIRT1, down-regulated the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β,MCP-1,NF-κB, p66Shc caspase-3, and decreased the apoptotic index in LPS-induced rats and A549 cells. All these protective effects of irisin could be reversed by Compound C. CONCLUSION Irisin improved LPS-induced alveolar epithelial barrier dysfunction via suppressing inflammation and apoptosis, and this protective effect might be mediated by activating AMPK/SIRT1 pathways.
