Shu C, Cui H, Peng Y, Wei Z, Ni X, Zheng L, Shang J, Liu F, Liu J. Understanding the molecular pathway of triclosan-induced ADHD-like behaviour: Involvement of the hnRNPA1-PKM2-STAT3 feedback loop. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 191:108966. [PMID: 39167854 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 08/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) is an environmental pollutant. In recent years, there has been increasing level of concern regarding the potential toxicity of TCS in animals and humans, especially its effects on the nervous system. However, whether TCS induces ADHD-like behaviour and the mechanism by which it affects neural function are unclear. The impact of 60 days of continuous exposure to TCS on the behaviour of offspring rats was assessed in this research. According to the results of this study, TCS exposure led to ADHD-like behaviour in offspring rats and activated microglia in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), inducing inflammatory factor release. In vitro studies showed that TCS increased the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, in HMC3 cells. More importantly, we found that TCS regulated the STAT3 pathway by upregulating PKM2 via hnRNPA1. In summary, this study suggested that TCS can induce ADHD-like behaviour in offspring rats and continuously activate HMC3 microglia through the hnRNPA1-PKM2-STAT3 feedback loop, promoting inflammatory cytokine secretion.

Increased Pan-Type, A1-Type, and A2-Type Astrocyte Activation and Upstream Inflammatory Markers Are Induced by the P2X7 Receptor. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8784. [PMID: 39201471 PMCID: PMC11354399 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25168784] [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: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
This study asked whether the P2X7 receptor was necessary and sufficient to trigger astrocyte polarization into neuroinflammatory activation states. Intravitreal injection of agonist BzATP increased gene expression of pan-astrocyte activation markers Gfap, Steap4, and Vim and A1-type astrocyte activation markers C3, Serping1, and H2T23, but also the Cd14 and Ptx3 genes usually associated with the A2-type astrocyte activation state and Tnfa, IL1a, and C1qa, assumed to be upstream of astrocyte activation in microglia. Correlation analysis of gene expression suggested the P2X7 receptor induced a mixed A1/A2-astrocyte activation state, although A1-state genes like C3 increased the most. A similar pattern of mixed glial activation genes occurred one day after intraocular pressure (IOP) was elevated in wild-type mice, but not in P2X7-/- mice, suggesting the P2X7 receptor is necessary for the glial activation that accompanies IOP elevation. In summary, this study suggests stimulation of the P2X7R is necessary and sufficient to trigger the astrocyte activation in the retina following IOP elevation, with a rise in markers for pan-, A1-, and A2-type astrocyte activation. The P2X7 receptor is expressed on microglia, optic nerve head astrocytes, and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the retina, and can be stimulated by the mechanosensitive release of ATP that accompanies IOP elevation. Whether the P2X7 receptor connects this mechanosensitive ATP release to microglial and astrocyte polarization in glaucoma remains to be determined.

Abstract
Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis. It is well known that PKM2 plays a vital role in the proliferation of tumor cells. However, PKM2 can also exert its biological functions by mediating multiple signaling pathways in neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), cognitive dysfunction, ischemic stroke, post-stroke depression, cerebral small-vessel disease, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease (PD), epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and autoimmune diseases. In these diseases, PKM2 can exert various biological functions, including regulation of glycolysis, inflammatory responses, apoptosis, proliferation of cells, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, or pathological autoimmune responses. Moreover, the complexity of PKM2's biological characteristics determines the diversity of its biological functions. However, the role of PKM2 is not entirely the same in different diseases or cells, which is related to its oligomerization, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications. This article will focus on the biological characteristics of PKM2, the regulation of PKM2 expression, and the biological role of PKM2 in neurological diseases. With this review, we hope to have a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of PKM2, which may help researchers develop therapeutic strategies in clinic.

Imbalance in Glucose Metabolism Regulates the Transition of Microglia from Homeostasis to Disease-Associated Microglia Stage 1. J Neurosci 2024; 44:e1563232024.

Abstract
Microglia undergo two-stage activation in neurodegenerative diseases, known as disease-associated microglia (DAM). TREM2 mediates the DAM2 stage transition, but what regulates the first DAM1 stage transition is unknown. We report that glucose dyshomeostasis inhibits DAM1 activation and PKM2 plays a role. As in tumors, PKM2 was aberrantly elevated in both male and female human AD brains, but unlike in tumors, it is expressed as active tetramers, as well as among TREM2+ microglia surrounding plaques in 5XFAD male and female mice. snRNAseq analyses of microglia without Pkm2 in 5XFAD mice revealed significant increases in DAM1 markers in a distinct metabolic cluster, which is enriched in genes for glucose metabolism, DAM1, and AD risk. 5XFAD mice incidentally exhibited a significant reduction in amyloid pathology without microglial Pkm2 Surprisingly, microglia in 5XFAD without Pkm2 exhibited increases in glycolysis and spare respiratory capacity, which correlated with restoration of mitochondrial cristae alterations. In addition, in situ spatial metabolomics of plaque-bearing microglia revealed an increase in respiratory activity. These results together suggest that it is not only glycolytic but also respiratory inputs that are critical to the development of DAM signatures in 5XFAD mice.

Abstract
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epileptic syndrome. It has been established that due to its complex pathogenesis, a considerable proportion of TLE patients often progress to drug-resistant epilepsy. Ferroptosis has emerged as an important neuronal death mechanism in TLE, which is primarily influenced by lipid accumulation and oxidative stress. In previous studies of ferroptosis, more attention has been focused on the impact of changes in the levels of proteins related to the redox equilibrium and signaling pathways on epileptic seizures. However, it is worth noting that the oxidative-reduction changes in different organelles may have different pathophysiological significance in the process of ferroptosis-related diseases. Mitochondria, as a key organelle involved in ferroptosis, its structural damage and functional impairment can lead to energy metabolism disorders and disruption of the excitatory inhibitory balance, significantly increasing the susceptibility to epileptic seizures. Therefore, secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in the process of ferroptosis could play a crucial role in TLE pathogenesis. This review focuses on ferroptosis and mitochondria, discussing the pathogenic role of ferroptosis-related mitochondrial dysfunction in TLE, thus aiming to provide novel insights and potential implications of ferroptosis-related secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in epileptic seizures and to offer new insights for the precise exploration of ferroptosis-related therapeutic targets for TLE patients.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:15746-15758. [PMID: 38305974 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-31905-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
The transition from paraquat (PQ) to diquat (DQ), both organic dication herbicides, in China has led to significant increases in the number of acute DQ poisoning cases. Case studies have shown that acute DQ poisoning resulted in injury to the central nervous system (CNS), but the mechanism underlying the injury remains to be explored. The present study aimed to investigate how DQ influenced purinergic signaling between astrocytes and microglia and whether extracellular ATP (eATP) was involved in promoting neuroinflammation induced by acute DQ toxicity through the activation of the P2X4/NLRP3 signaling pathway. We constructed a rat model of acute DQ toxicity to observe the pathological changes in hippocampal tissues after DQ exposure and measure the expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the hippocampal tissue. We also established an in vitro co-culture model of C6 astrocytes and BV-2 microglia using transwell chambers, measured the amount of eATP secreted into C6 astrocytes after DQ treatment, and assessed the inflammatory response and changes in the P2X4/NLRP3 signaling pathway in BV-2 microglia. The results showed that the neurons in the hippocampal tissue of rats exhibited loose arrangement, nuclear consolidation, and necrosis after DQ exposure, and IL-1β and TNF-α levels were signification higher in the hippocampal tissue after DQ exposure. DQ exposure to the co-cultured cells induced an increase in ATP secretion from C6 astrocytes as well as a significant increase of P2X4, NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18 expression in BV-2 microglia. In contrast, pretreatment of C6 astrocytes with apyrase (an ATP hydrolase) resulted in a significant decrease of P2X4, NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18 expression in BV-2 microglia. Furthermore, inhibition of P2X4 expression in BV-2 microglia by transfection with si-P2X4 effectively reversed the increase of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18 in BV-2 microglia induced by DQ when co-cultured with C6 astrocytes. These results indicate that astrocytes can activate the P2X4/NLRP3 signaling pathway in microglia through the DQ-induced extracellular release of ATP to promote neuroinflammation in rat hippocampal tissue.
