Abstract Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induced by sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a key factor involved in cognitive dysfunction (CD). Increasing evidence has shown that atractylon (ATR) has anti-inflammatory effects. However, it remains unclear if ATR has a protective effect against SDB-induced nerve cell injury and CD. So, in the present study, CIH-exposed mice and CIH-induced BV2 cells were used to mimic SDB. The results showed that ATR treatment decreased CIH-induced CD and the expression of inflammatory factors in the hippocampal region by suppression of M1 microglial activation and promotion of M2 microglial activation. Also, ATR treatment promoted sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) expression. Down-regulation of SIRT3 decreased the protective effect of ATR against CIH-induced microglial cell injury. Furthermore, in vitro detection found that SIRT3 silencing suppressed ATR-induced M2 microglial activation after exposure to CIH conditions. Taken together, these results indicate that ATR treatment prevents SDB-induced CD by inhibiting CIH-induced M1 microglial activation, which is mediated by SIRT3 activation.

Background. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) often have cardiac insufficiency mainly due to hypoxia/reperfusion injury caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Inflammation and oxidative stress are involved in the cardiovascular events of OSAHS patients. Studies have found that myofibrillation regulator-1 (MR-1) participates in the pathological process of OSAHS-induced myocardial injury, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Methods. We used a CIH-induced rat model to simulate the process of OSAHS disease. Indices of myocardial injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress were detected using quantitative PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). After administration of adenoassociated viral vector (AAV) encoding silencing RNA against MR-1, we examined expression of the classic antioxidant stress pathway protein NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) using western blotting. Results. We found that levels of serum inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were increased, and we further observed disturbance of the oxidative stress system, in which the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) was enhanced in CIH-induced rats. Subsequently, we detected that expression of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was slightly increased, while the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap-1) was significantly increased in the CIH model. Interestingly, after administration of silencing MR-1 AAV, the elevated levels of inflammatory factors were reduced, and the disordered oxidative stress system was corrected. Additionally, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was distinctly increased, but the high expression of Keap-1 was decreased. Conclusions. Our research results demonstrate that silencing MR-1 rescued the myocardium the injury from inflammatory and oxidative stress in CIH-induced rats by administration of the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
