Ageing Res Rev 2024; 98:102323. [PMID: 38734147 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102323] [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: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the main driving mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD). Oxidative stress has been associated with inflammation in the intervertebral disc, cellular senescence, autophagy, and epigenetics of intervertebral disc cells. It and the above pathological mechanisms are closely linked through the common hub reactive oxygen species(ROS), and promote each other in the process of disc degeneration and promote the development of the disease. This reveals the important role of oxidative stress in the process of IDD, and the importance and great potential of IDD therapy targeting oxidative stress. The efficacy of traditional therapy is unstable or cannot be maintained. In recent years, due to the rise of materials science, many bioactive functional materials have been applied in the treatment of IDD, and through the combination with traditional drugs, satisfactory efficacy has been achieved. At present, the research review of antioxidant bioactive materials in the treatment of IDD is not complete. Based on the existing studies, the mechanism of oxidative stress in IDD and the common antioxidant therapy were summarized in this paper, and the strategies based on emerging bioactive materials were reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycolytic inhibition via 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) has potential therapeutic benefits for a range of diseases, including cancer, epilepsy, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and COVID-19, but the systemic effects of 2DG on gene function across different tissues are unclear. METHODS This study analyzed the transcriptional profiles of nine tissues from C57BL/6J mice treated with 2DG to understand how it modulates pathways systemically. Principal component analysis (PCA), weighted gene co-network analysis (WGCNA), analysis of variance, and pathway analysis were all performed to identify modules altered by 2DG treatment. RESULTS PCA revealed that samples clustered predominantly by tissue, suggesting that 2DG affects each tissue uniquely. Unsupervised clustering and WGCNA revealed six distinct tissue-specific modules significantly affected by 2DG, each with unique key pathways and genes. 2DG predominantly affected mitochondrial metabolism in the heart, while in the small intestine, it affected immunological pathways. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that 2DG has a systemic impact that varies across organs, potentially affecting multiple pathways and functions. The study provides insights into the potential therapeutic benefits of 2DG across different diseases and highlights the importance of understanding its systemic effects for future research and clinical applications.

Abstract
SCOPE N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) play important roles in cognitive functions. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the metabolic impact of regio- and stereo-specific positioning of n-3 PUFAs in dietary triacylglycerols. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats in a state of mild n-3 PUFA deficiency are fed daily with 360 mg triacylglycerols containing DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) at sn (stereospecific numbering)-1, 2, or 3 positions and 18:0 at remaining positions, or an equal amount of tristearin for 5 days. Groups fed with n-3 deficient diet and normal n-3 adequate diet are included as controls. The metabolic profiles of the brain and liver are studied using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance)-based metabolomics. Several metabolites of significance in membrane integrity and neurotransmission, and glutamate, in particular, are significantly lower in the brain of the groups fed with sn-1 and sn-3 DHA compared to the sn-2 DHA group. Further, the tristearin and DHA groups show a lower lactate level compared to the groups fed on normal or n-3 deficient diet, suggesting a prominent role of C18:0 in regulating energy metabolism. CONCLUSION This study sheds light on the impact of stereospecific positioning of DHA in triacylglycerols and the role of dietary stearic acid on metabolism in the brain and liver.

Abstract
Exercise, an intervention with wide-ranging effects on the whole body, has been shown to delay aging. Due to aging and exercise as modulator of metabolism, a picture of how exercise delayed D-galactose (D-gal)-induced aging in a time-resolved manner was presented in this paper. The mapping of molecular changes in response to exercise has become increasingly accessible with the development of omics techniques. To explore the dynamic changes during exercise, the serum of rats and D-gal-induced aging rats before, during, and after exercise was analyzed by untargeted metabolomics. The variation of metabolites was monitored to reveal the specific response to D-gal-induced senescence and exercise in multiple pathways, especially the basal amino acid metabolism, including glycine serine and threonine metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. The homeostasis was disturbed by D-gal and maintained by exercise. The paper was expected to provide a theoretical basis for the study of anti-aging exercise.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which can cause progressive deterioration of motor function causing muscle stiffness, tremor, and bradykinesia. In this review, we hope to describe approaches that can improve the life of PD patients through modifications of energy metabolism. RECENT FINDINGS The main pathological features of PD are the progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and the production of Lewy bodies. Abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) leading to the formation of Lewy bodies is closely associated with neuronal dysfunction and degeneration. The main causes of PD are said to be mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, and abnormal protein aggregation. Presence of abnormal energy metabolism is another cause of PD. Many studies have found significant differences between neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic decompensation, which has become a biological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. SUMMARY In this review, we highlight the relationship between abnormal energy metabolism (Glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism) and PD. Improvement of key molecules in glucose metabolism, fat metabolism, and amino acid metabolism (e.g., glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, triglycerides, and levodopa) might be potentially beneficial in PD. Some of these metabolic indicators may serve well during the diagnosis of PD. In addition, modulation of these metabolic pathways may be a potential target for the treatment and prevention of PD.

Abstract
To survive in the tumour microenvironment, cancer cells undergo rapid metabolic reprograming and adaptability. One of the key characteristics of cancer is increased glycolytic selectivity and decreased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Apart from ATP synthesis, glycolysis is also responsible for NADH regeneration and macromolecular biosynthesis, such as amino acid biosynthesis and nucleotide biosynthesis. This allows cancer cells to survive and proliferate even in low-nutrient and oxygen conditions, making glycolytic enzymes a promising target for various anti-cancer agents. Oncogenic activation is also caused by the uncontrolled production and activity of glycolytic enzymes. Nevertheless, in addition to conventional glycolytic processes, some glycolytic enzymes are involved in non-canonical functions such as transcriptional regulation, autophagy, epigenetic changes, inflammation, various signaling cascades, redox regulation, oxidative stress, obesity and fatty acid metabolism, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders, and hypoxia. The mechanisms underlying the non-canonical glycolytic enzyme activities are still not comprehensive. This review summarizes the current findings on the mechanisms fundamental to the non-glycolytic actions of glycolytic enzymes and their intermediates in maintaining the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Alzheimer disease (AD) is associated with multiple etiologies and pathological mechanisms, among which oxidative stress (OS) appears as a major determinant. Intriguingly, OS arises in various pathways regulating brain functions, and it seems to link different hypotheses and mechanisms of AD neuropathology with high fidelity. The brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage, mainly because of its unique lipid composition, resulting in an amplified cascade of redox reactions that target several cellular components/functions ultimately leading to neurodegeneration. The present review highlights the "OS hypothesis of AD," including amyloid beta-peptide-associated mechanisms, the role of lipid and protein oxidation unraveled by redox proteomics, and the antioxidant strategies that have been investigated to modulate the progression of AD. Collected studies from our groups and others have contributed to unraveling the close relationships between perturbation of redox homeostasis in the brain and AD neuropathology by elucidating redox-regulated events potentially involved in both the pathogenesis and progression of AD. However, the complexity of AD pathological mechanisms requires an in-depth understanding of several major intracellular pathways affecting redox homeostasis and relevant for brain functions. This understanding is crucial to developing pharmacological strategies targeting OS-mediated toxicity that may potentially contribute to slow AD progression as well as improve the quality of life of persons with this severe dementing disorder.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous, behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders has progressively increased, however, no clear diagnostic markers and specifically targeted medications for autism have emerged. As a result, neurobehavioral abnormalities, neurobiological alterations in ASD, and the development of novel ASD pharmacological therapy necessitate multidisciplinary collaboration. In this review, we discuss the development of multiple animal models of ASD to contribute to the disease mechanisms of ASD, as well as new studies from multiple disciplines to assess the behavioral pathology of ASD. In addition, we summarize and highlight the mechanistic advances regarding gene transcription, RNA and non-coding RNA translation, abnormal synaptic signaling pathways, epigenetic post-translational modifications, brain-gut axis, immune inflammation and neural loop abnormalities in autism to provide a theoretical basis for the next step of precision therapy. Furthermore, we review existing autism therapy tactics and limits and present challenges and opportunities for translating multidisciplinary knowledge of ASD into clinical practice.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a high-incidence and dose-dependent adverse reaction during OXA treatment. Its underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and no effective treatment or prevention therapies are currently available. Here, we employed a data independent acquisition (DIA)-based quantitative proteomic strategy to investigate the global proteome alterations in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissues from mice injected with OXA for different periods. We identified 1128 differentially regulated proteins that were divided into six subclusters according to their alteration trends. Interestingly, these proteins were involved in cellular processes such as cell cycle, ribosomal stress, metabolism, and ion transport. In addition, OXA administration induced abundance changes of ion channels and proteins associated with mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species production. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of diroximel fumarate (DRF), an FDA-approved oral fumarate drug for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Our findings showed that DRF could effectively ameliorate symptoms of OIPN and reduce the level of oxidative stress in mice. Taken together, our study systematically mapped the proteome alteration associated with the neural toxicity of OXA, and the findings could be leveraged to better understand the mechanisms of OIPN and to develop more effect treatment therapies. SIGNIFICANCE: Oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a high-incidence and dose-dependent adverse reaction with unclear mechanism. Here we employed a data independent acquisition (DIA)-based quantitative proteomic strategy to explore the proteome changes in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissues from mice treated by OXA. The findings provided novel insights regarding the mechanisms of OIPN. For example, our data showed that OXA induced a broad disturbance in metabolism, particularly in glycolysis and amino acid metabolism. Additionally, we observed abundance changes of many ion channels and proteins associated with mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species production. Furthermore, this study provided the first evidence for the possibility of repositioning diroximel fumarate (DRF) for treating OIPN.

Abstract
Several neurological diseases share pathological alterations, even though they differ in their etiology. Neuroinflammation, altered brain glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and amyloidosis are biological events found in those neurological disorders. Altered insulin-mediated signaling and brain glucose hypometabolism are characteristic signs observed in the brains of patients with certain neurological diseases, but also others such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and vascular diseases. Thus, significant reductions in insulin receptor autophosphorylation and Akt kinase activity, and increased GSK-3 activity and insulin resistance, have been reported in these neurological diseases as contributing to the decline in cognitive function. Supporting this relationship is the fact that nasal and hippocampal insulin administration has been found to improve cognitive function. Additionally, brain glucose hypometabolism precedes the unmistakable clinical manifestations of some of these diseases by years, which may become a useful early biomarker. Deficiencies in the major pathways of oxidative energy metabolism have been reported in patients with several of these neurological diseases, which supports the hypothesis of their metabolic background. This review remarks on the significance of insulin and brain glucose metabolism alterations as keystone common pathogenic substrates for certain neurological diseases, highlighting new potential targets.
