Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a prevalent diabetes mellitus (Feldman et al., 2017) complication and the primary reason for amputation. Meanwhile, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that broadly participate in DPN development. However, the correlation of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) with DPN remains unclear. In this study, we were interested in the role of XIST in the modulation of DPN progression. Significantly, our data showed that the expression of XIST and sirtuin1 (SIRT1) was inhibited, and the expression of microRNA-30d-5p (miR-30d-5p) was enhanced in the trigeminal sensory neurons of the diabetic mice compared with the normal mice. The levels of LC3II and Beclin-1 were inhibited in the diabetic mice. The treatment of high glucose (HG) reduced the XIST expression in Schwann cells. The apoptosis of Schwann cells was enhanced in the HG-treated cells, but the overexpression of XIST could block the effect in the cells. Moreover, the levels of LC3II and Beclin-1 were reduced in the HG-treated Schwann cells, while the overexpression of XIST was able to reverse this effect. The HG treatment promoted the production of oxidative stress, while the XIST overexpression could attenuate this result in the Schwann cells. Mechanically, XIST was able to sponge miR-30d-5p and miR-30d-5p-targeted SIRT1 in the Schwann cells. MiR-30d-5p inhibited autophagy and promoted oxidative stress in the HG-treated Schwann cells, and SIRT1 presented a reversed effect. MiR-30d-5p mimic or SIRT1 depletion could reverse XIST overexpression-mediated apoptosis and autophagy of the Schwann cells. Thus, we concluded that XIST attenuated DPN by inducing autophagy through miR-30d-5p/SIRT1 axis. XIST and miR-30d-5p may be applied as the potential targets for DPN therapy.

Background: Paclitaxel-induced painful neuropathy is a major dose-limiting side effect and can persist for up to two years after completing treatment that greatly affects both the course of chemotherapy and quality of life in cancer patients. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ belongs to a family of nuclear receptors known for their transcriptional and regulatory roles in metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress. However, the role of PPAR-γ activation on paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain is not yet known. Objective: To investigate whether pioglitazone, a PPAR-γ agonist reduce paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain and to elucidate underlying mechanisms. Methodology: Peripheral neuropathy was induced by administration of paclitaxel (2 mg/kg per injection) intraperitoneally on four alternate days (days 0, 2, 4, 6). Thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia were assessed and the markers of inflammation and nitroso-oxidative stress were estimated. Results: Pioglitazone did not induce hypoalgesia and had no effect on locomotor activity. Repeated oral administration of pioglitazone (10 and 20 mg/kg,) for 2 weeks started 14 days after paclitaxel injection markedly attenuated paw withdrawal responses to thermal (hyperalgesia) and mechanical (allodynia) stimuli. Further, pioglitazone administration significantly reduced elevated level of pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, in both the dorsal root ganglia and the spinal cord accompanied by marked decrease in oxidative stress parameters as well as increase in activity of antioxidant defense enzyme, superoxide dismutase, in the spinal cord after paclitaxel injection. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrate that pioglitazone, a PPAR-γ agonist exerted antinociceptive effect in paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain through inhibiting neuroimmune inflammation in both the periphery and spinal cord and by reducing nitroso-oxidative stress in spinal cord. Our findings strongly suggest pharmacological activation of PPAR-g as a promising therapeutic target in paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy and provide rationale for the clinical evaluation.

Palmitic acid (PA), a long-chain saturated fatty acid, might activate innate immune cells. PA plays a role in chronic liver disease, diabetes and Crohn’s disease, all of which are associated with impaired intestinal permeability. We investigated the effect of PA, at physiological postprandial intestinal concentrations, on gut epithelium as compared to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ethanol, using an in vitro gut model, the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 grown on transwell inserts. Cytotoxicity and oxidative stress were evaluated; epithelial barrier integrity was investigated by measuring the paracellular flux of fluorescein, and through RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence of tight junction (TJ) and adherens junction (AJ) mRNAs and proteins, respectively. In PA-exposed Caco-2 monolayers, cytotoxicity and oxidative stress were not detected. A significant increase in fluorescein flux was observed in PA-treated monolayers, after 90 min and up to 360 min, whereas with LPS and ethanol, this was only observed at later time-points. Gene expression and immunofluorescence analysis showed TJ and AJ alterations only in PA-exposed monolayers. In conclusion, PA affected intestinal permeability without inducing cytotoxicity or oxidative stress. This effect seemed to be faster and stronger than those with LPS and ethanol. Thus, we hypothesized that PA, besides having an immunomodulatory effect, might play a role in inflammatory and functional intestinal disorders in which the intestinal permeability is altered.

Abstract Background Oxidative stress in hepatocytes was important pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Autophagy was a cellular process that can remove damaged organelles under oxidative stress, and thus presented a potential therapeutic target against NASH. This work aimed to investigate whether autophagy was participated in the protective effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on palmitic acid (PA)-induced oxidative stress in hepatocytes and the underlying mechanism. Methods HepG2 and HHL-5 cell lines were pretreated with DHM (20 μM) for 2 h, followed by PA (0.2 mM) treatment for 16 h. The oxidative stress was assessed by the quantification of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial ROS (mtROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial ultrastructural analyses. The protein expressions of SIRT3, LC3I/II, P62 and ATG4B, as well as the acetylation of AGT4B were determined by western blotting using HepG2 and HepG2/ATG4B± cells with heterozygous knockout of ATG4B. Results Exposure to PA resulted in increased intracellular ROS and mtROS, decreased MMP and aggravated mitochondrial injury in HepG2 cells, which were notably attenuated by DHM treatment. DHM-induced inhibition of oxidative stress was associated with the induction of autophagy, characterized by upregulated ATG4B and LC3 II as well as downregulated P62 levels. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of DHM on PA-induced autophagy arrest and oxidative stress were eliminated when pretreated with a SIRT3 inhibitor 3-TYP or conducted in HepG2/ATG4B± cells, suggesting that SIRT3 and ATG4B were involved in DHM-induced benefits. Moreover, DHM treatment increased the protein expression of SIRT3 and SIRT3-dependent deacetylation of ATG4B in HepG2 cells. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that DHM attenuated PA-induced oxidative stress in hepatocytes through induction of autophagy, which was mediated through the increased expression of SIRT3 and SIRT3-mediated ATG4B deacetylation following DHM treatment.
