Hdac Inhibition

Inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been shown to reduce inflammation and white matter damage after various forms of brain injury via modulation of microglia/macrophage polarization. Previously we showed that the HDAC inhibitor scriptaid could attenuate white matter injury (WMI) after ICH. To access whether modulation of microglia/macrophage polarization might underlie this protection, we investigated the modulatory role of HDAC2 in microglia/macrophage polarization in response to WMI induced by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and in primary microglia and oligodendrocyte co-cultures. HDAC2 activity was inhibited via conditional knockout of the Hdac2 gene in microglia or via administration of scriptaid. Conditional knockout of the Hdac2 gene in microglia and HDAC inhibition with scriptaid both improved neurological functional recovery and reduced WMI after ICH. Additionally, HDAC inhibition shifted microglia/macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype and reduced proinflammatory cytokine secretion after ICH in vivo. In vitro, a transwell co-culture model of microglia and oligodendrocytes also demonstrated that the HDAC inhibitor protected oligodendrocytes by modulating microglia polarization and mitigating neuroinflammation. Moreover, we found that scriptaid decreased the expression of pJAK2 and pSTAT1 in cultured microglia when stimulated with hemoglobin. Thus, HDAC inhibition ameliorated ICH-mediated neuroinflammation and WMI by modulating microglia/macrophage polarization.

Repressor Complex

Cardiac hypertrophy is often associated with the activation of signaling pathways that perpetuate altered calcium efflux and influx. One gene that is upregulated and contributes to altered intracellular calcium concentrations and worsening contractility during cardiac hypertrophy is the Sodium Calcium Exchanger ( Ncx1 ). Molecular studies implicate histone deacetylases (HDACs) in possibly regulating the expression of this gene. Our recent work reveals that HDAC1, HDAC5 and Sin3a interact and are recruited to the Ncx1 promoter through the Nkx2.5 transcription factor. Interestingly, we observed greater associated/interaction of the HDAC1-HDAC5/Sin3a repressor complex upon broad HDAC inhibition. Taken together, we hypothesized that HDAC inhibition, stabilizes an HDAC1-HDAC5/Sin3a repressor complex during cardiac hypertrophy. We addressed this hypothesis by treating isolated adult cardiomyocytes with class specific HDAC inhibitors since HDAC1 is a Class I HDAC and HDAC5 is a Class IIa HDAC. Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) revealed a greater association of repressor complex molecules in the presence of Entinostat, a Class I HDAC inhibitor compared to both non-treated control and TSA, a broad HDAC inhibitor (n=3). These works show enhanced recruitment Sin3a (co-repressor) at the proximal promoter of NCX1 as demonstrated by Chromatin-Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) (n=3). To test whether these observations translated into in vivo models, we subjected mice to transaortic constriction (TAC) to induce hypertrophy. In this model, Co-IP revealed results that similar to our in vitro studies with greater immuno- detection of repressor complex component, Sin3a after immune-precipitation with HDAC1. Furthermore, our ChIP data showed a greater PCR product amplification of proximal Ncx1 promoter, from experimental groups that were subjected to Entinostat (n=3). Our cumulative data suggests that Class I HDAC inhibition stabilizes a repressor complex on the Ncx1 promoter that hinders hypertrophy- mediated Ncx1 upregulation. Class specific HDAC inhibition may be useful in the stabilization and repression of aberrantly expressed genes that contribute to poor clinical outcomes in cardiac hypertrophy.

Proinflammatory Responses

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) elicits destruction of both gray and white matter, which is exacerbated by secondary proinflammatory responses. Although white matter injury (WMI) is strongly correlated with poor neurological status, the maintenance of white matter integrity is poorly understood, and no current therapies protect both gray and white matter. One candidate approach that may fulfill this role is inhibition of class I/II histone deacetylases (HDACs). Here we demonstrate that the HDAC inhibitor Scriptaid protects white matter up to 35 d after TBI, as shown by reductions in abnormally dephosphorylated neurofilament protein, increases in myelin basic protein, anatomic preservation of myelinated axons, and improved nerve conduction. Furthermore, Scriptaid shifted microglia/macrophage polarization toward the protective M2 phenotype and mitigated inflammation. In primary cocultures of microglia and oligodendrocytes, Scriptaid increased expression of microglial glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β), which phosphorylated and inactivated phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), thereby enhancing phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/Akt signaling and polarizing microglia toward M2. The increase in GSK3β in microglia and their phenotypic switch to M2 was associated with increased preservation of neighboring oligodendrocytes. These findings are consistent with recent findings that microglial phenotypic switching modulates white matter repair and axonal remyelination and highlight a previously unexplored role for HDAC activity in this process. Furthermore, the functions of GSK3β may be more subtle than previously thought, in that GSK3β can modulate microglial functions via the PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and preserve white matter homeostasis. Thus, inhibition of HDACs in microglia is a potential future therapy in TBI and other neurological conditions with white matter destruction.

Abstract Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can induce excess accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequently cause severe white matter injury. The process of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) differentiation is orchestrated by microglia and astrocytes, and ROS also drives the activation of microglia and astrocytes. In light of the potent ROS scavenging capacity of ceria nanoparticles (CeNP), we aimed to investigate whether treatment with CeNP ameliorates white matter injury by modulating ROS-induced microglial polarization and astrocyte alteration. Methods: ICH was induced in vivo by collagenase VII injection in mice. Mice were administered with PLX3397 for depleting microglia. Primary microglia and astrocytes were used for in vitro experiments. Transmission electron microscopy analysis and immunostaining were performed to verify the positive effects of CeNP in remyelination and OPC differentiation. Flow cytometry, real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence and western blotting were used to detect microglia polarization, astrocytes alteration and the underlying molecular mechanisms.Results: CeNP treatment strongly inhibited ROS-induced NF-κB p65 translocation in both microglia and astrocytes, and significantly decreased the expression of M1 microglia and A1 astrocyte. Furthermore, we found that CeNP treatment promoted remyelination and OPC differentiation at 7 days and 21 days post ICH, and such effects were alleviated after microglial depletion. Interestingly, we also found that the number of mature oligodendrocytes was moderately enhanced in ICH + CeNP + PLX3397 treated mice compared to the ICH + Vehicle + PLX3397 group. Therefore, astrocytes might participate in the pathophysiological process. The subsequent phagocytosis assay indicated that A1 astrocyte highly expressed C3, which could bind with microglia C3aR and hinder microglial engulfment of myelin debris. This result further replenished the feedback mechanism from astrocytes to microglia. Conclusion: The present study reveals a new mechanism in white matter injury after ICH: ICH induces M1 microglia and A1 astrocyte through ROS-induced NF-κB p65 translocation that hinders OPC maturation. Subsequently, A1 astrocytes inhibit microglial phagocytosis of myelin debris via an astrocytic C3-microglial C3aR axis. Polyethylene glycol-CeNP treatment inhibits this pathological process and ultimately promotes remyelination. Such findings enlighten us that astrocytes and microglia should be regarded as a functional unit in future works.

Introduction: Astrocytes play broad roles in the Central nervous system, and are involved in the regulation of cerebral metabolism and blood flow. Normal astrocytes (A2) protect against oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, but unhealthy astrocytes (A1) may release deleterious factors. Oligodendrocytes (OLGs) differentiate from oligodendrocyte-precursor-cells (OPCs) for myelination in white matter, but OPC were vulnerable for ischemia. Therefore, differentiation is impaired when white matter injury occurs in a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model. Thus, we examined the effects of the interaction between astrocyte and oligodendrocyte lineage cells on myelination focused on mitochondrial migration. Method: A microcoil was applied to the bilateral common carotid arteries in male C57BL/6 mice as an in vivo cerebral chronic hypoperfusion model (BCAS model). A nonlethal concentration of CoCl 2 was added to the primary cell culture from the postnatal rat cortex and incubated in vitro. Results: White matter injury progressed in the BCAS model as myelin decreased. The numbers of OPCs and astrocytes increased after the operation, whereas that of OLGs decreased at day 28. Increased astrocytes were mainly A1 type, and A2 type were decreased. OPC differentiation was disrupted under the stressed conditions in the cell culture, but improved after administration of astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM), but injured ACM couldn’t improve maturation. Incubate with CoCl 2 change astrocyte A2 to A1, and mitochondrial migration also reduced. Trkβ agonist could change astrocyte A1 to A2 even in hyperperfused condition, and also help OPC maturation via mitochondrial migration and drug effect in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions: The reduction in incrementing A1 astrocytes protect white matter injury. and Trkβ agonist may play an important role in the impairment under chronic ischemic conditions. Mitochondrial migration could be a broad therapeutic strategy for cerebrovascular disorders.

Phenotypic Shift

Mononuclear phagocytes are a population of multi-phenotypic cells and have dual roles in brain destruction/reconstruction. The phenotype-specific roles of microglia/macrophages in traumatic brain injury (TBI) are, however, poorly characterized. In the present study, TBI was induced in mice by a controlled cortical impact (CCI) and animals were killed at 1 to 14 days post injury. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) and immunofluorescence staining for M1 and M2 markers were performed to characterize phenotypic changes of microglia/macrophages in both gray and white matter. We found that the number of M1-like phagocytes increased in cortex, striatum and corpus callosum (CC) during the first week and remained elevated until at least 14 days after TBI. In contrast, M2-like microglia/macrophages peaked at 5 days, but decreased rapidly thereafter. Notably, the severity of white matter injury (WMI), manifested by immunohistochemical staining for neurofilament SMI-32, was strongly correlated with the number of M1-like phagocytes. In vitro experiments using a conditioned medium transfer system confirmed that M1 microglia-conditioned media exacerbated oxygen glucose deprivation–induced oligodendrocyte death. Our results indicate that microglia/macrophages respond dynamically to TBI, experiencing a transient M2 phenotype followed by a shift to the M1 phenotype. The M1 phenotypic shift may propel WMI progression and represents a rational target for TBI treatment.

Background/Aims: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a critical role in the regulation of gene transcription, cardiac development, and diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the inhibition of HDACs improves cardiac remodeling and its underlying mechanisms in a mouse myocardial infarction (MI) model. Methods: The HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA, 0.1 mg/kg/day) was administered via daily intraperitoneal injections for 8 consecutive weeks after MI in C57/BL mice. Echocardiography and tissue histopathology were used to assess cardiac function. Cultured neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs) were subjected to simulated hypoxia in vitro. Autophagic flux was measured using the tandem fluorescent mCherry-GFP-LC3 assay. Western blot was used to detect autophagic biomarkers. Results: After 8 weeks, the inhibition of HDACs in vivo resulted in improved cardiac remodeling and hence better ventricular function. MI was associated with increased LC3-II expression and the accumulation of autophagy adaptor protein p62, indicating impaired autophagic flux, which was reversed by TSA treatment. Cultured NRCFs exhibited increased cell death after simulated hypoxia in vitro. Increased cell death was associated with markedly increased numbers of autophagosomes but not autolysosomes, as assessed by punctate dual fluorescent mCherry-green fluorescent protein tandem-tagged light chain-3 expression, indicating that hypoxia resulted in impaired autophagic flux. Importantly, TSA treatment reversed hypoxia-induced impaired autophagic flux and led to a 40% decrease in cell death. This was accompanied by improved mitochondrial membrane potential. The beneficial effects of TSA therapy were abolished by RNAi intervention targeting LAMP2; likewise, in vivo delivery of chloroquine abolished the TSA-mediated cardioprotective effects. Conclusion: Our results provide evidence that the HDAC inhibitor TSA prevents cardiac remodeling after MI and is dependent on restoring autophagosome processing of cardiac fibroblasts.

Underlying Mechanisms

Fertility is dependent on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a product of gonadotrope cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and intra-pituitary activins are regarded as the primary drivers of FSH synthesis and secretion. Both stimulate expression of the FSH beta subunit gene (Fshb), although the underlying mechanisms of GnRH action are poorly described relative to those of the activins. There is currently no consensus on how GnRH regulates Fshb transcription, as results vary across species and between in vivo and in vitro approaches. One of the more fully developed models suggests that the murine Fshb promoter is tonically repressed by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and that GnRH relieves this repression, at least in immortalized murine gonadotrope-like cells (LβT2 and αT3-1). In contrast, we observed that the class I/II HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) robustly inhibited basal, activin A-, and GnRH-induced Fshb mRNA expression in LβT2 cells and in primary murine pituitary cultures. Similar results were obtained with the class I specific HDAC inhibitor, entinostat, whereas two class II-specific inhibitors, MC1568 and TMP269, had no effects on Fshb expression. Collectively, these data suggest that class I HDACs are positive, not negative, regulators of Fshb expression in vitro and that, contrary to earlier reports, GnRH may not stimulate Fshb by inhibiting HDAC-mediated repression of the gene.

Background: Sulforaphane (SF, 1-isothiocyanato-4-(methyl-sulfinyl)-butane) is found in broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Methods: we performed a critical review on the antioxidative, chemopreventive and antitumor effects of SF from cruciferous vegetables against prostate cancers and molecular pathways. For a complete and reliable review, primary and secondary resources were used, including original and review articles, books and government documents published until March 2018. Articles that are in duplicity and disconnected are not considered for review. SF is derived from glucoraphanin (4-methyl-sulfinyl-butyl-glucosinate), being one of the most commonly found isothiocyanates in vegetables from Brassica spp., especially in broccoli samples. In vitro studies indicate that SF induces apoptosis in a dependent or non-dependent method of androgens by transcription of tumor suppressor genes, oxidation response and higher expression of phase II enzymes in prostate cancer cells. Sulforaphane also decreases transcription of the nuclear factor kB and antiapoptotic proteins, expression of cyclin D2 and survivin and DNA synthesis, increases Nrf2 gene activity, interferes with genome compacting by inhibition of histone deacetylases and disrupts Hsp90 complexes, which cause cell cycle arrest, mitosis interruption, activation of caspases and mitochondria depolarization. Conclusion: SF and cruciferous vegetables play antioxidative and chemopreventive role, delaying or blocking in vivo carcinogenesis, causing biochemical and epigenetic changes, preventing, delaying, or reversing preneoplastic or advanced prostate lesions, and frequently activating tumor cell death by intrinsic methods of apoptosis. These outcomes encourage the consumption of Brassica specimens, which could be easily achieved by the incorporation of food and vegetables rich in cruciferous isothiocyanates in the diet.

Background: Anti-tumor effect of hydroxamic acid derivatives is largely connected with its properties as efficient inhibitors of histone deacetylases, and other metalloenzymes involved in carcinogenesis. Objective: The work was aimed to (i) determine the anti-tumor and chemosensitizing activity of the novel racemic spirocyclic hydroxamic acids using experimental drug sensitive leukemia P388 of mice, and (ii) determine the structure-activity relationships as metal chelating and HDAC inhibitory agents. Method: Outbreed male rat of 200-220 g weights were used in biochemical experiments. In vivo experiments were performed using the BDF1 hybrid male mice of 22-24 g weight. Lipid peroxidation, Fe (II) -chelating activity, HDAC fluorescent activity, anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activity, acute toxicity techniques were used in this study. Results: Chemosensitizing properties of water soluble cyclic hydroxamic acids (CHA) are evaluated using in vitro activities and in vivo methods and found significant results. These compounds possess iron (II) chelating properties, and slightly inhibit lipid peroxidation. CHA prepared from triacetonamine (1a-e) are more effective Fe (II) ions cheaters, as compared to CHA prepared from 1- methylpiperidone (2a-e). The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity, lipophilicity and acute toxicity were influenced by the length amino acids (size) (Glycine < Alanine < Valine < Leucine < Phenylalanine). All compounds bearing spiro-N-methylpiperidine ring (2a-e) are non-toxic up to 1250 mg/kg dose, while compounds bearing spiro-tetramethylpiperidine ring (1a-e) exhibit moderate toxicity which increases with increasing lipophility, but not excite at 400 mg/kg. Conclusion: It was shown that the use of combination of non-toxic doses of cisplatin (cPt) or cyclophosphamide with CHA in most cases result in the appearance of a considerable anti-tumor effect of cytostatics. The highest chemosensitizing activity with respect to leukemia Р388 is demonstrated by the CHA derivatives of Valine 1c or 2c.
