Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) disorders are one of the leading health problems today, accounting for a large proportion of global morbidity and mortality. Most these disorders are characterized by high levels of oxidative stress and intense inflammatory responses in degenerated neuronal tissues. While extensive research has been conducted on CNS diseases, but few breakthroughs have been made in treatment methods. To date, there are no disease-modifying drugs available for CNS treatment, underscoring the urgent need for finding effective medications. Bee venom (BV), which is produced by honeybee workers' stingers, has been a subject of interest and study across various cultures. Over the past few decades, extensive research has focused on BV and its therapeutic potentials. BV consists a variety of substances, mainly proteins and peptides like melittin and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Research has proven that BV is effective in various medical conditions, including pain, arthritis and inflammation and CNS disorders such as Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge concerning the therapeutic effects of BV and its primary compounds on various CNS diseases. Additionally, we aim to shed light on the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects.

A computational biology approach to identify potential protein biomarkers and drug targets for sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Cell Signal 2023; 112:110915. [PMID: 37838312 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110915] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons. The sporadic ALS (sALS) is a multigenic disorder and the complex mechanisms underlying its onset are still not fully delineated. Despite the recent scientific advancements, certain aspects of ALS pathogenic targets need to be yet clarified. The aim of the presented study is to identify potential genetic biomarkers and drug targets for sALS, by analysing gene expression profiles, presented in the publicly available GSE68605 dataset, of motor neurons cells obtained from sALS patients. We used different computational approaches including differential expression analysis, protein network mapping, candidate protein biomarker (CPB) identification, elucidation of the role of functional modules, and molecular docking analysis. The resultant top ten up- and downregulated genes were further used to construct protein-protein interaction network (PPIN). The PPIN analysis resulted in identifying four CPBs (namely RIOK2, AKT1, CTNNB1, and TNF) that commonly overlapped with one another in network parameters (degree, bottleneck and maximum neighbourhood component). The RIOK2 protein emerged as a potential mediator of top five functional modules that are associated with RNA binding, lipoprotein particle receptor binding in pre-ribosome, and interferon, cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Furthermore, molecular docking analysis revealed that cyclosporine exhibited the highest binding affinity (-8.6 kJ/mol) with RIOK2, and surpassed the FDA-approved ALS drugs, such as riluzole and edaravone. This suggested that cyclosporine may serve as a promising candidate for targeting RIOK2 downregulation observed in sALS patients. In order to validate our computational results, it is suggested that in vitro and in vivo studies may be conducted in future to provide a more detailed understanding of ALS diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic intervention.

Reduction of excessive unfolded protein response by 4-phenylbutyric acid may mitigate procymidone-induced testicular damage in mice by changing the levels of circRNA Scar and circZc3h4. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 197:105689. [PMID: 38072544 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105689] [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: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Procymidone (PCM) exposure below the no-observed-effect level triggers changes in circRNA Scar and circZc3h4 and overactivation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in mice, culminating in testicular injury. The 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA) is known to stabilize proteins and reduce the UPR. This study employed an in vitro system in which mouse testes were cultured with 1 × 10-5 M PCM and varying concentrations (0, 20, 40, and 80 mM) of 4-PBA; 4-week-old male mice were subsequently treated with 100 mg/kg/d PCM (suspended in corn oil) and/or 100 mg/kg/d 4-PBA for 21 d, consecutively. The treatments were as follows: the negative control (NC) group was orally administered corn oil; the positive control (PC) group was orally administered PCM; the 4-PBA group was intraperitoneally injected with 4-PBA; the 4-PBA-I group was orally administered PCM and 4-PBA simultaneously; the 4-PBA-II group received daily administration of 4-PBA 24 h prior to PCM; and the 4-PBA-III group was intraperitoneally injected with 4-PBA for 7 d after 21 d of PCM administration. However, the 4-PBA intervention groups showed no considerable changes in the overall or testicular appearance of mice. In vitro, 4-PBA inhibited the PCM-induced testicular injury, with the most significant effect observed at 80 mM. In vivo, the 4-PBA-III group exhibited the best in vivo effects. Our findings indicate that 4-PBA conferred testicular protection by decreasing PCM-induced circRNA Scar, elevating circZc3h4, and suppressing UPR both in vitro and in vivo. It has been hypothesized that 4-PBA mitigates testicular damage by reducing excessive UPR levels.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease in which the motor neuron circuitry displays progressive degeneration, affecting mostly the motor neurons in the brain and in the spinal cord. There are no effective cures, albeit three drugs, riluzole, edaravone, and AMX0035 (a combination of sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol), have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, with limited improvement in patients. There is an urgent need to build better and more effective treatment strategies for ALS. Since the disease is very heterogenous, numerous approaches have been explored, such as targeting genetic mutations, decreasing oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, enhancing mitochondrial function and protein degradation mechanisms, and inhibiting neuroinflammation. In addition, various chemical libraries or previously identified drugs have been screened for potential repurposing in the treatment of ALS. Here, we review previous drug discovery efforts targeting a variety of cellular pathologies that occur from genetic mutations that cause ALS, such as mutations in SOD1, C9orf72, FUS, and TARDP-43 genes. These mutations result in protein aggregation, which causes neuronal degeneration. Compounds used to target cellular pathologies that stem from these mutations are discussed and comparisons among different preclinical models are presented. Because the drug discovery landscape for ALS and other motor neuron diseases is changing rapidly, we also offer recommendations for a novel, more effective, direction in ALS drug discovery that could accelerate translation of effective compounds from animals to patients.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 196:105631.

Abstract
Procymidone (PCM) below the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) has previously been proven to induce ovarian and uterine damage in adolescent mice due to its raised circRNA Scar, decreased circZc3h4, and overactivated unfolded protein response (UPR). Also, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) inhibits histone deacetylase and endoplasmic reticulum stress, reduces UPR, improves metabolism, and ensures homeostasis within the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, 20, 40 and 80 mM of 4-PBA were utilized respectively to intervene the damage caused by 1.0 × 10-5 M PCM to ovaries and uterus in vitro culture. Besides, 100 mg/kg /d 4-PBA was intraperitoneally injected to female adolescent mice before, during and after oral administration of 100 mg/kg /d PCM for prevention and cure to observe tissue changes in the ovaries and uteri, and levels of circRNA Scar, circZc3h4 and UPR members. Our findings demonstrated that in vitro experiments, all doses of 4-PBA could inhibit ovarian and uterine damage caused by PCM, and the effect of 80 mM was especially noticeable. In the in vivo experiments, the best results were obtained when PCM was given with simultaneous 4-PBA intervention, i.e., minimal ovarian and uterine damage. Both in vivo and in vitro, 4-PBA in the ovary and uterus resulted in decreased circRNA Scar levels, increased circZc3h4 abundance, and moderately elevated levels of UPR members. So, it is suggested that 4-PBA moderately activates UPR, partially or completely antagonizing the elevated circRNA Scar and decreased circZc3h4 and consequently preventing PCM-induced ovarian and uterine damage effectively in adolescent mice.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disorder with currently no cure. Central to the cellular dysfunction associated with this fatal proteinopathy is the accumulation of unfolded/misfolded superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in various subcellular locations. The molecular mechanism driving the formation of SOD1 aggregates is not fully understood but numerous studies suggest that aberrant aggregation escalates with folding instability of mutant apoSOD1. Recent advances on combining organelle-targeting therapies with the anti-aggregation capacity of chemical chaperones have successfully reduce the subcellular load of misfolded/aggregated SOD1 as well as their downstream anomalous cellular processes at low concentrations (micromolar range). Nevertheless, if such local aggregate reduction directly correlates with increased folding stability remains to be explored. To fill this gap, we synthesized and tested here the effect of 9 ER-, mitochondria- and lysosome-targeted chemical chaperones on the folding stability of truncated monomeric SOD1 (SOD1bar) mutants directed to those organelles. We found that compound ER-15 specifically increased the native state stability of ER-SOD1bar-A4V, while scaffold compound FDA-approved 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA) decreased it. Furthermore, our results suggested that ER15 mechanism of action is distinct from that of PBA, opening new therapeutic perspectives of this novel chemical chaperone on ALS treatment.
