【ABSTRACT】Objective:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder which is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) aggradation in the brain and impairment of cognitive function.Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is a redox regulating protein,and plays roles in resisting the oxidative stress and protecting neurons.Our previous study found that Trx-1 improved the cognitive function of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) mice.Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) is an antiulcer drug and induces the expression of Trx-1 in vivo and in vitro.However,whether Trx-1 improves cognitive functions in mice of APP/PS1 or GGA protects SH-SY5Y cells from cytotoxicity induced by Aβ is still unknown.The objective of present is to investigate the roles of Trx-1 and GGA in inhibiting neurotoxicity of Aβ.Methods:We used MTT assay to test the cell viability induced by Aβ(25-35)and western blot to detect the expression of Trx-1 in SH-SY5Y cells.Trx-1 overexpression transgenic mice were hybridized with APP/PS1 transgenic mice to get control,Trx-1,Tx-1/APP/PS1 and APP/PS1 mice.Then we used Morris water maze,high plus maze and object recognition test to detect the cognitive function of different kinds of mice.We also used RT-PCR and western blot to test the mRNA level and expression of Trx-1,APP,PS1 and Aβ.Results:In our present study,we demonstrated that Aβ(25-35)decreased the cell viability and the expression of Trx-1 in SH-SY5Y cells.The cell viability and the expression of Trx-1 were reversed by GGA.Our results showed that the escape latency in APP/PS1 mice was longer when compared with the Trx-1/APP/PS1 mice in Morris water maze and high plus maze.Whereas navigational experiments in Morris water maze result showed that the total number of crossings and the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant were significantly decreased in APP/PS1 mice when compared to Trx-1/APP/PS1 mice.Object recognition test the discrimination index was significantly decreased in APP/PS1 mice when compared with Trx-1/APP/PS1 mice.The mRNA levels and the expression of APP,PS1 and Aβ were decreased in Trx-1/APP/PS1 mice when compared to APP/PS1 mice.Conclusion:These results suggest that GGA protects SH-SY5Y cells from cytotoxicity induced by Aβ(25-35)and restored the expression of Trx-1.Trx-1 overexpression improves cognitive function of APP/PS1 mice.Trx-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the clinical management of AD.

【ABSTRACT】Backgrounds:Chinese yam is a traditional Chinese medicine.It has many benefits for people,such as antidiarrhea,anti-inflammation,antidiabetic,hypocholesterolemia,antioxidation,antitumor,and immunomodulation.The mucus of the fresh yam could induce itch in the skin,however,the pruritus compound in yam is very unclear.Objective:1) To isolate and purify the pruritus compounds from fresh Chinese yam;2) To test the activity of the pruritus compound-allantoin;3) To study the cellular mechanism of allantoin-induced itching.Methods:We extracted allantoin crystal from fresh Chinese yam using suspension drop method.Multidimensional chromatographic separation methods including membrane filtration,ion exchange chromatography,C18 reverse phase chromatography,silica column and preparation liquid phase,mass spectrometry analysis were used to purify the active compounds.Scratch numbers of mice were used to evaluate the degree of pruritus induced by allantoin in behavior tests.We cultured DRG neurons from Pirt-GCaMP3 heterozygotes examined their responses to allantoin using calcium imaging techniques.We also examined the electrophysiological characteristics of the neurons induced by allantoin using whole cell recording.Results:We got the allantoin crystal by simple ethanol extraction.The content of allantoin extracted from yam (origin from Jiaozuo,Henan) is about 3.567 mg·g-1.Our results show that allantoin could induce more scratch numbers in mice than control group.Allantoin also directly activated DRG neurons to induce calcium influx and inward current.Conclusion:This is the first time to obtain allantoin crystal from fresh yam.Allantoin is widely found in many natural plants,but the effect of allantoin on DRG neurons and animal itching behavior was the first time.Our research shows that allantoin not only activated small DRG neurons,but also caused itch in mice.Allantoin could induce the itching behavior of mice,which not only help us understand the cause of yam to induce itch,more importantly,we found a natural itch causing compound.This discovery will have implications for our future research on the mechanism of itch.

【ABSTRACT】 We previously reported that nucleotide binding oligomerization domaincontaining protein (NOD) 2 was involved in the inflammatory responses to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) insult.However,the mechanism by which NOD2 participates in brain ischemic injury and the regulation of NOD2 in the process are still obscure.Increased β-arrestin 2(ARRB2) expression was observed in microglia following cerebral I/R in wild type mice besides the upregulation of NOD2 and TRAF6.Stimulation of NOD2 by muramyl dipeptide (MDP)in BV2 cells induced the activation of NF-κB by the phosphorylation of p65 subunit and the degradation of IκBα.Meanwhile,the protein level of COX-2,the protein expression and activity of MMP-9 were significantly increased in BV2 cells after administration of MDP.Furthermore,overexpression of ARRB2 significantly suppressed the inflammation induced by MDP,silence of ARRB2 significantly enhanced the inflammation induced by MDP in BV2 cells.In addition,we observed endogenous interaction of TRAF6 and ARRB2 after stimulation of MDP or cerebral I/R insult,indicating ARRB2 negatively regulates NOD2-triggered inflammatory signaling pathway by associating with TRAF6 in microglia after cerebral I/R injury.Finally,the in vivo study clearly confirmed that ARRB2 negatively regulated NOD2-induced inflammatory response,as ARRB2 deficiency exacerbated stroke outcomes and aggravated the NF-κB signaling pathway induced by NOD2 stimulation after cerebral I/R injury.These findings revealed ARRB2 negatively regulated NOD2 signaling pathway through the association with TRAF6 in cerebral I/R injury.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Suicide is highly-prevalent and the most serious outcome in major depressive disorder (MDD),yet the disturbances in neural functional system that confer suicide risk remain obscure.In this study,we seek to investigate the neural functional differences between healthy participants with suicidal ideal (SI) MDD patients.Methods:Seventy-seven healthy controls (HC) and 124 well-matched MDD patients with different degrees of SI were recruited.Based on suicide factors of 17-items Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17),We divided MDD patients into four groups,MDD_0 (n=55),MDD patients without SI;MDD_1 (n=41),MDD patients with mild SI,MDD_2 (n=20),MDD patients with moderate SI,MDD_3 (n=8),MDD patients with severe SI.Bilateral hippocampus were selected to construct hippocampus memory functional connectivity networks (HFCN).One-way ANCOVA was applied to investigate the difference in HFCN between different level of SI patients with MDD and HC.Furthermore,the correlation analyses were conducted to identify the correlation between HFCN and HAMD-17 scores in the SI groups.Results:Compared with CN subjects,MDD patients showed severer SI.We found significant group differences on the bilateral HFCN in bilateral supramarginal gyrus(SMG),right middle prefrontal cortex (mPFC),orbital frontal cortex (OFC),angular cortex,as well as left middle temporal gyrus (MTG),superior parietal gyrus (SPG),and precuneus.Interestingly,an inverted U-shaped modulation was showed in the right mPFC (control system),right IPG,left SPG and SMG,while U-shaped modulations were found in the right hippocampus.The correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between the HAMD-17 scores and functional connectivity of the right hippocampus with the right mPFC area in the SI groups(r= -2.12,P=0.018).Conclusion:Our study manifested a nonlinear modulation of interacting between suicide ideal and depression on brain function.These findings expand our understanding of the functional neural basis of different level of SI in MDD patients and will help to reveal the pathophysiology underlying suicidality in patients with MDD.

【ABSTRACT】Objective:MicroRNA 9 (miR-9) has been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) via regulate the major triggers of depression.However,it is unclear how miR-9 dysregulation mediates the effects of neural circuits associated with emotional regulation in MDD patients.Methods and materials:Forty unmedicated MDD patients and 34 demographically-matched healthy controls (HC) were recruited and conducted a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment,resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) scan,and the miR-9 level from the peripheral blood was obtained.Bilateral amygdala were selected to construct the amygdala functional connectivity (AFC)network.Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the neural substrates of miR-9,depression,and environment factors,which reflected by the Childhood Trauma events Questionnaires (CTQ),as well as their interactive effects on the AFC network in MDD patients.In addition,mediation analysis was employed to explore whether intrinsic AFC network mediates the association among CTQ,miR-9 and depression severity in MDD patients.Support vector classifier (SVC) model of machine learning was used to distinguish the MDD patients from HC.Results:MiR-9 level was significantly increased in MDD subjects,compared to HC.Higher miR-9 levels in MDD patients are negatively correlated to Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17)scores and CTQ scores.Interestingly,interactive effects among CTQ,miR-9,and HAMD-17,on bilateral AFC networks in MDD patients,were primarily located in fronto-limbic network.These identified brain regions linked with increased miR-9 levels were also associated with severer depression symptoms and maltreat in childhood.Furthermore,mediation analysis suggested that amygdala connectivity strength involved in the fronto-limbic system mediated the relationship among CTQ,miR-9 and depression severity in MDD patients.Particularly,SVC model of miR-9 for MDD diagnosis represented a good power of differentiating mild and moderate MDD patients from HC subjects (an area under the curve of 0.82).Conclusion:We demonstrated that miR-9 played a crucial role in the occurrence of depression associated with adverse environmental factors.Also,miR-9 dysregulation in MDD patients was associated with brain dysfunction in fronto-limbic network (the key network for emotional regulation and memory),which could mediate the relationship among adverse environmental factors,miR-9,and depression.Notably,miR-9 may consider as a potential biomarker for distinguishing mild and moderate MDD from HC.These results deepen our understanding of the pathophysiology of MDD,and provide new insight into the objective index of early diagnosis of depression.

【ABSTRACT】Objective:Clinical reports have shown that increased blood pressure variability can lead to decreased learning and memory,but the mechanism is still unclear.Based on the dysfunction of blood-brain barrier is one of the mechanisms of learning and memory disorder,we hypothesize that the mechanism of learning and memory impairment caused by elevated blood pressure variability is related to abnormal blood-brain barrier function.Method:The rat model of increased blood pressure variability was established by sinoaortic denervation (SAD)in rats.Morris Water Maze was used to evaluate learning and memory ability of rats.Then the blood-brain barrier function was evaluated by the permeability of Evans blue and FITC-dextran.Results:Compared with sham-operated (Sham) rats,the escape latency of Morris Water Maze was significantly extended in rats two,four,eight and sixteen weeks after SAD(P<0.05,P<0.01).Similarly,the blood-brain barrier permeability in SAD group was markedly increased than that in Sham group (P<0.05,P<0.01) from two weeks to sixteen weeks after SAD.Additionally,Western blot result showed that,compared with Sham group,occludin expression was lower in SAD group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion:Increased blood pressure variability leads to learning and memory dysfunction in rats and this dysfunction may be associated with the impaired blood-brain barrier function.

【ABSTRACT】 A synthetic cathinones,α-pyrrolidinopentiophenone (α-PVP),is commonly identified in abused “bath salt” preparations.It has been reported that people who consumed α-PVP sometimes lose consciousness,develop difficulty breathing,and,in the worst case,die.The molecular and behavior aspects of α-PVP have been characterized.However,the other analogs of α-PVP have not received the same attention and little is known about how structural modification of α-PVP influences the abuse liability.The current study aims to characterize the behavioral pharmacology of three pyrrolidinylated second-generation cathinones:α-PVP,4-chloro-αpyrrolidinopentiophenone (4cl-α-PVP) and 4-chloro-α-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone (4cl-α-PPP).The rewarding effects of these drugs were assessed in rats using self-administration model.The discriminative stimulus effects of these compounds were tested in rats trained to discriminate either heoin or methamphetamine.Both 4cl-α-PVP and a-PVP produced self-administration in an inverted U-shaped dose effect,whereas 4cl-α-PPP did not produce self-administration.α-PVP fully substituted for the discriminative stimulus effects of both heroin and methamphetamine,whereas 4cl-α-PVP substituted partly for the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine only,and 4cl-α-PPP couldn’t substitute for the discriminative stimulus effects of both heroin and methamphetamine.These findings suggest that 4cl-α-PVP and α-PVP are likely to be recreationally used and have potential for addiction and abuse,but 4cl-α-PPP may not.

【ABSTRACT】Objective:Depression is one of the major disease and becomes a public medical health problem worldwide.Current antidepressant drugs typically require weeks to months before a response to the treatment can be observed in the patients with major depressive disorders (MDD).Therefore,development of novel agents that produce a rapid antidepressant response represents a major unmet medical need for the treatment of MDD.Recently,several studies indicate that Orexin antagonists,and in particular selective OxR1 (Orexin-1 receptor) antagonists,can reduce drug-seeking at doses that have minimal effects on natural reward-seeking behavior.With respect to the potential use of orexin receptor antagonists for anxiety and depression,we proposed the use of OxR1 antagonist (SB-334867) in the treatment of depressive disorder.We observed the effects of SB-334867 on behavioral stress reactivity and the plasma levels of ACTH and cortisol in social defeat mouse depression model,confirming that SB-334867 can improve the anxiety-like behavior of socially failing mice by modulating the HPA axis.Methods:The social defeat mouse(C57 BL/6J) model was prepared according to the method of Tatsuhiko Goto et al.,and SB-334867 (2 mg·kg-1) was injected through the tail vein.Elevated O maze test and Social Avoidance Test were performed on the social defeat mouse,and the plasma levels of ACTH and cortisol were detected by Elisa.Besides,Western blot was used to detect the changes of Orexin-A and Orexin-1 receptor in the hypothalamus.Results:The social interaction ratio (SI ratio) illustrated that the depression animal model induced by modified chronic social defeat stress is reliable.The SI ratio of the model group,the vehicle group and the drug-administered group were significantly lower than those of the control group;however,after 14 days of intravenous injection of SB-334867,the SI ratio of the mice in the drug-administered group was significantly higher than that in the model group and the vehicle group.The percentage of time spent on the open arms of the elevated O-maze test in the model group,the vehicle group,and the drug-administered group after model establishment was significantly lower than that in the control group,but the percentage of time spent on the open arms of the elevated O-maze test in mice treated with SB-334867 was significantly higher than that in the model group and the vehicle group.Western blot results showed that Orexin-A and Orexin-1 receptor in the hypothalamus of the model group,the vehicle group and the drug-administered group were significantly higher than that of the control group.There were significantly increase of plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels after mice were submitted to chronic social defeat stress as compared to the control mice.Compared with the model group and the vehicle group,subchronic administration of SB-334867 decreased of plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels.Conclusion:By using a depression animal model induced by modified chronic social defeat stress,we found an abnormal increase in the expression of Orexin-A and Orexin-1 receptor in the hypothalamus of social defeat mice.Subchronic administration of SB-334867 can improve the social disorder behavior and anxiety-like behavior caused by mild chronic social defeat stress;meanwhile,subchronic administration of SB-334867 restored stress-induced disturbances in the HPA axis.Therefore,we hypothesized that SB-334867 improved the abnormality of the HPA axis by inhibiting Orexin-1 receptor,and ultimately alleviated the anxiety-like behavior of social defeat mice.

【ABSTRACT】Background:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases characterized with a gradual loss of midbrain substantia nigra(SN) dopamine (DA) neurons.An excessive evidence demonstrated that microglia-mediated inflammation might be involved in the pathogenesis of PD.Thus,inhibition of neuroinflammation might possess a promising potential for PD treatment.Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloids(DNLA),an active component extracted from the Dendrobium nobile Lindl presents amounts of pharmacological properties,such as anti-inflammation,anti-oxidant,and anti-aging.Recent studies show DNLA produced neuroprotection against brain dysfunction.However,the mechanisms underlying DNLA-exerted DA neuroprotection are fully illuminated.Objective:To research the protective effects of Dendrobium nobile Lindl (DNLA) on dopaminergic(DA) neuronal injury induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA).Methods:In the present study,6-OHDA-induced rat midbrain DA neuronal damage were applied to investigate the neuroprotective effects of DNLA.The rats were randomly divided into control,DNLA (10 mg·kg-1),6-OHDA (8 ug),6-OHDA+DNLA (10 mg·kg-1) groups.Rats were received a single 6-OHDA unilateral injection into the SN pars compacts,after 14 daily intragastric administration of DNLA,rats’ behavior was analyzed by Rotarod test.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and anti-OX42,then observed the quantitative changes of DA neurons.In addition,primary rat midbrain neuron-glia co-cultures were performed to explore the mechanisms underlying DNLA-mediated DA neuroprotection,primary neuronglia cultures were performed on the ventral midbrain tissues of 14~15 days gestational age SD rats.The cultures were randomly divided into control,DNLA (25 ng·L-1),6-OHDA (40 μmoL),6-OHDA+DNLA (25 ng·L-1) groups.DA neuronal lesion and the activation of microglia in the substantia nigra were tested by immunocytochemical staining with anti-TH antibody and anti-OX-42 antibody.The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and nitric oxide (NO) in the culture supernatant were measured with Griess reagent and enzyme link immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:In vivo data showed that DNLA significantly attenuated 6-OHDA-induced DA neuronal loss and subsequent animal behavior changes,then significantly reduced microglia activation.In vitro data showed that DNLA protected DA neurons from 6-OHDA-induced DA neuronal damage and inhibited microglia activation and pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α,IL-1β,NO) production.Conclusion:DNLA could protect DA neurons against 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity both in vivo and in vitro.These findings suggest that DNLA might hold potential therapeutic effects on PD.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:In Parkinson’s disease (PD),loss of striatal dopaminergic (DA)terminals and degeneration of DA neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) are associated with inflammation.Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domaincontaining protein (NOD)2,one of the first discovered NOD-like receptors,plays an important role in inflammation.However,the role of NOD2 has not been elucidated in PD.Methods:NOD2 mRNA and protein expression in the SN and the striatum of C57BL/6 mice treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) was measured.We next investigated the potential contribution of the NOD2-dependent pathway to 6-OHDA-induced DA degeneration using NOD2-deficient (NOD2-/-) mice.Assays examining DA degeneration and inflammation include HPLC,Western blot,immunohistochemistry,TUNEL staining,and cytometric bead array.To further explore a possible link between NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and NOD2 signaling in PD,microglia were transfected with shRNA specific to NOX2 in vitro and apocynin were given to mice subjected to 6-OHDA and muramyl dipeptide (MDP)striatal injection.Results:The expression of NOD2 was upregulated in an experimental PD model induced by the neurotoxin 6-OHDA.NOD2 deficiency resulted in a protective effect against 6-OHDA-induced DA degeneration and neuronal death,which was associated with the attenuated inflammatory response.Moreover,silencing of NOX2 in microglia suppressed the expression of NOD2 and the inflammatory response induced by 6-OHDA and attenuated the toxicity of conditioned medium from 6-OHDA or MDP-stimulated microglia to neuronal cells.Furthermore,apocynin treatment inhibited NOD2 upregulation and DA degeneration in the SN of WT mice induced by 6-OHDA and MDP.Conclusion:This study provides the direct evidence that NOD2 is related to 6-OHDA-induced DA degeneration through NOX2-mediated oxidative stress,indicating NOD2 is a novel innate immune signaling molecule participating in PD inflammatory response.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:As a complex psychiatric disorder,schizophrenia is interpreted as a“dysconnection” syndrome,which is linked to abnormal integrations in between distal brain regions[1].Recently,neuroimaging has been widely adopted to investigate how schizophrenia affects brain networks.Furthermore,some studies reported frequency dependence of the abnormalities of functional network in schizophrenia[2].In previous study based on graph theory,functional connectivity strength (FCS),a voxel-wise data-driven method,is used to investigate functional integration among brain regions in various frequency bands[3].The current study aimed to assess the difference of frequency-specific whole brain dynamic functional connectivity in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:In the current study,96 patients with schizophrenia and 121 gender and aged-matched healthy controls were recruited.Resting state functional images were performed on 3-T MRI scanner.Within four different frequency bands,we assessed whole brain static and dynamic functional connectivity strength (dFCS) respectively.Four frequency bands are included:slow-5:0.01-0.027 Hz,slow-4:0.027-0.073 Hz,slow-3:0.073-0.198 Hz,slow-2:0.198-0.25 Hz[4].At each frequency band,firstly,we calculated the static FCS map of each subject(f),and then using sliding windows analysis,we divided the whole time series into n non-overlapping temporal windows (100 s,interval 10 s),then we defined the dynamic index of a voxel k as[5]:

Where ftis the FCS of the k at the time window t,t = 1,2,…n.Furthermore,individual voxelwise static and dynamic FCS maps were standardized to z-scores,and spatially smoothed(FWHM=6 mm).Subsequently,the voxel-wise dynamic FCS maps was compared between patients and controls through two-sample t-test.FDR correction (P<0.05) was used for multiple comparisons.Results:Overall altered dynamic FCS of schizophrenic subjects was revealed across the four frequency bands (Fig.1).In slow-5,schizophrenic subjects showed increased dFCS within cerebellum and basal ganglia network (thalamus and caudate),while decreased dFCS in sensorimotor network and auditory network,such as posterior insula and superior temporal gyrus.Meanwhile,in slow-4,schizophrenic subjects showed increased dFCS in cerebellum,orbitofrontal gyrus and middle occipital gyrus,and reduced dFCS mainly in the visual network.Furthermore,increased dFCS in cerebellum and limbic system,such as orbital frontal cortex,were observed in slow-3,as well as decreased dFCS in sensorimotor and visual area of schizophrenia.There was no difference of schizophrenic subjects in slow-2 compared to healthy controls.Conclusion:These results revealed altered dFCS in cerebellum,basal ganglia,sensorimotor,visual networks and limbic system in schizophrenia.Many brain areas showed significant difference in specific frequency bands.Especially,in the BG network,some brain regions of schizophrenic patients exhibited enhanced dynamic FCS at low frequency (slow-5),while reduced dynamic FCS at high frequency (slow-3).Our findings suggest that the abnormalities of dFCS in schizophrenia is dependent on the frequency band and may provide potential implications for exploring the neuropathological mechanism of schizophrenia.

【ABSTRACT】Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD),a common subtype of personality disorder characterized by irresponsible behavior often leading to criminal behavior,has heritability.In current study,we found SNP rs10420324 in the 1st intron of CACNG8,the gene encoding transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein γ-8 (TARP γ-8),is associated with ASPD in a male prisoner sample in Chinese Han people.The distribution of rs10420324G is significantly higher in ASPD subjects relative to the normal healthy males.Using a reporter molecule in which the sequence covering rs10420324 were fused to the N-terminal of GFP protein,we found the expression level of the reporting GFP protein,mRNA and pre-mRNA relied on the rs10420324 variants.Furthermore,in 120 fore-cortical brain samples from a Chinese Han brain library,the expression level of TARP γ-8 was associated with the SNP rs10420324.The SNP is located in a guanine-rich region.We found it modulated the conformation and stability of a local G-quadruplex DNA structure,which appeared to regulate the transcription of TARP γ-8.Using TARP γ-8 knockout mice,we found that the decrease of TARP γ-8 lead to abnormal social behaviors and aggression.Therefore,the AMPA receptor auxiliary subunit TARP γ-8 contributes to a risk factor for ASPD.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:The only FDA-approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke is tissue plasminogen activator,and the discovery of novel therapeutic targets is critical.Here,we found ORM,an acute phase protein mainly produced by the liver,might act as a treatment candidate for ischemic stroke.Our aim is to explore the role and underlying mechanism of ORM in ischemic stroke.Methods:Ischemic stroke was set up by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice.Brain microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3) were exposed to oxygen-glucose-deprivation(OGD) for 4 h and then treated with 10 μg·mL-1of ORM for another 4 h.Purified ORM was injected via tail vein 0.5 h before,immediately,or 1 h,3 h,4.5 h and 6 h after MCAO in C57BL/6 mice,and infarct size was detected 24 h after surgery by TCC staining.ORM subtypes were determined by real-time PCR,and also pro-inflammatory factors,including IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α,24 h after surgery.Cerebrovascular permeability was evaluated by Evans blue staining and immunofluorescence.Briefly,22 h after MCAO,2% Evans Blue dye (0.1 mL·g-1) was injected via the tail vein.2 h later,the brain was rapidly harvested,detecting Evans blue staining and immunofluorescence results.Blood-brain barrier-associated proteins expression of ZO-1,claudin-5,occludin VE-cadherin and caveolin-1 were detected by immunoblotting.Oxidative stress was clarified by ELISA.Cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity were detected by ELISA,TUNEL and flowcytometry.Results:The results showed that ORM2 is the dominant subtype in mice normal brain tissue.After middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO),the level of ORM2 is significantly increased in the ischemic penumbra compared to the contralateral normal brain tissue,while ORM1 knockout did not affect infarct size.Exogenous ORM could significantly decrease infarct size and neurological deficit score.Inspiringly,the best administration timepoint was at 4.5 h and 6 h after MCAO.ORM treatment could significantly reduce the area of Evans blue staining in MCAO mice,and the content of Evans blue in the supernatant of ischemic penumbra homogenyates.ORM could improve blood-brain barrier-associated proteins expression,MCAO significantly decreased the junction protein expression of ZO-1,claudin-5,occludin and VE-cadherin,while significantly increased the endocytic transport protein level of caveolin-1 in the ischemic penumbra.Exogenous ORM administration could significantly reverse these changes,Similar results were obtained in OGD-treated bEnd3 cell.Meanwhile,ORM could significantly alleviate inflammation by inhibiting the mRNA levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α,and reduce oxidative stress by improving the balance of MDA and SOD.ORM treatment also significantly reduced cell apoptosis and the activity of caspase-3 in the ischemic area of MCAO mice and OGD-treated bEnd.3 cells.Conclusion:In general,our studies identified ORM as a novel protein involved in the development of ischemic stroke.It can effectively protect against ischemic stroke,especially with the relative longer time window.Considering ORM is classified as a protective protein in ischemic stroke,its elevation may represent a negative feedback mechanism.Due to its protective role at multiple levels,ORM might be a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Calcium-permeable cation channel TRPV2 is expressed in various regions of the brain.Lack of selective inhibitors makes it difficult to study the function of TRPV2.We discovered TRP subtype-selective inhibitors (TRPV2 inhibitors) and investigated the role of TRPV2 in the brain.Methods:We discovered TRPV2 inhibitors using a strategy combining structural and evolutionary information,and tested the inhibitory effects of compounds by electrophysiology.In whole-cell voltage clamp experiments on HEK293T cells transiently transfected with TRPV2,we recorded and analyzed the compounds’ inhibitory effects.Results:We unveiled three ligand-binding sites of TRPV2 and compounds that bind to these sites.Structural optimization of the best-hit compound provided a potent selective TRPV2 inhibitor,SET2.Residues Phe467,Gln525,and Leu470 stabilized the orientation of the SET2 pyrimidine group in the transmembrane pocket.None of TRPV1,TRPV3,or TRPV4 was sensitive to SET2.Conclusion:We optimized the best hit and developed a highly potent selective antaonist SET2.The molecular basis and subtype-selective inhibition mechanism were quantitatively characterized and experimentally verified.

【ABSTRACT】Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease characterized by the autoimmune attack of oligodendrocytes (OLs),leading to demyelination and progressive functional deficits.The pathological hallmarks of MS are inflammation,immunization,demyelination and axonal injury,which appear throughout the CNS and are most easily recognized in white matter.CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2),which is expressed by both inflammatory myeloid cells and OLs in the CNS,is a member of the chemokine receptor family and primarily modulates immune coordination and inflammation.CXCR2 is a developmental molecule known to orchestrate the migration,proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the developing brain.CXCR2 increases in chronic demyelinating disease,marking it as a potential pharmacological target of MS.Objective:To study a CXCR2 antagonist,compound 2,for its therapeutic efficacy in MS and investigate the mechanisms involved in its remyelinating effect.Methods:Co-incubated compound 2 with primary cultured OPCs to investigate whether it can directly act on OPCs and to study whether it promotes differentiation and maturation of OPCs.Cuprizone (CPZ) is a copper ion chelating agent that can cause oxidative stress and destroy the myelin sheath.After intoxication for 6 weeks with 0.2% CPZ feed,C57/BL mice were orally administered compound 2 at doses of 25,50,and 100 mg/kg or the positive control drug cyclosporin A (CyA) 70 mg/kg twice per day for 9 consecutive days without CPZ.Then,we evaluated the exercise ability and neurological function of mice by roller test and neurological function score,and detected the key markers in the process of myelination both in vitro and in vivo,included Ki67,Olig2 and Caspr.Based on this,we use transcriptome analysis to further study the mechanism of compound 2.Results:The results showed that compound 2 significantly promoted OPCs proliferation and differentiation,as indicated by the decreased expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)and A2B5,and the increased expression of myelin basic protein (MBP).Further examination of CPZ-intoxicated mice suggested that compound 2 ameliorated neurological impairment and improved motor function.Additionally,in the demyelinated lesions of CPZ-intoxicated mice treated with compound 2,OPCs proliferation was more vigorous and myelin repair was more efficient compared with tissues from untreated mice.Subsequent investigation of the underlying mechanisms identified that upon inhibition of CXCR2,compound 2 activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling,thereby upregulating Ki67,transcription factor 2 (Olig2) and Caspr expression,ultimately promoting OPCs differentiation and enhancing remyelination in MS.Conclusion:In this manuscript,we reported that compound 2 could act directly on OPCs and result in a promotion in the morphological changes associated with proliferation and differentiation of OPCs.And the treatment of compound 2 could improve motor behavior and alleviate neurological impairment,and thereafter enhanced myelin repair and remyelination in a MS mouse model caused by CPZ challenge.Our results demonstrated CXCR2 as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of chronic demyelinating diseases such as MS.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Vascular risk factors (VRFs) might increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contribute to neurodegenerative processes.The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the accumulating effects of VRFs contributes to gray matter volume and cognitive function and also examine the mediation effect of cortical atrophy linking the VRFs and cognition in AD spectrum population.Methods:We selected 30 AD patients,41 patients with LMCI,52 patients with EMCI,and 69 cognitively normal (CN) subjects from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 1 database.All participants completed vascular risk factor acquisition,including fMRI scans,T1 MRI scans,and cognitive function assessment (MMSE and ADAS-Cog scores).ANOVA was used to examine group differences of VRF scores across all subjects.Partial correlation analysis was employed to detect the association between VRFs and cognition.Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to examine main effects of VRFs and cognitive function on the gray matter volume.In addition,mediation analysis was employed to explore whether cortical atrophy mediates the association between VFR and cognition in AD spectrum.Results:We found that subjects with higher VRFs suffered cognitive decline and severe cortical atrophyespecially in right ventromedial prefrontal cortex and medial temporal gyrus.Furthermore,VRFs and cognitive function presented some overlapped brain regions,such as the right temporal gyrus,prefrontal cortex,left superior parietal gyrus and angular gyrus.More importantly,mediation analysis identified that these cortical atrophy mediated the relationship between VRF and cognition in AD spectrum.Conclusions:These findings extend our understanding ofVRFs accounted for cortical atrophy and cognitive decline in AD spectrum.And the mediation analysis demonstrated that cortical atrophy mediated the association between VFR and cognition in AD spectrum.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Clinical studies have shown that increased blood pressure variability can lead to learning and memory impairment,but the mechanism is not clear.Based on previous studies,target organ damage caused by increased blood pressure variability is closely related to inflammation,and learning and memory impairment is also closely related to inflammation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Therefore,we hypothesize that the learning and memory impairment caused by increased blood pressure variability is related to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.Methods:Male SD rats underwent sinoaortic denervation (SAD) to establish an animal model of increased blood pressure variability.Morris water maze,and passive avoidance trial were used to evaluate learning and memory ability.Western blotting was used to analyze protein changes in the hippocampus.Results:Sixteen weeks after SAD operation,compared with

the Sham group rats,in the Morris water maze experiment,SAD rats showed significant long escape latency (P<0.05),obviously decreased number of times of crossing platform (P<0.05);In the passive avoidance trial experimental,the escape latency was decreased significantly (P<0.05),the dark time and number of errors was increased markedly (P<0.05) in SAD rats.Moreover,Western blot result indicated that,the levels of Pro-IL-18,mature-IL-18,Pro-IL-1beta,mature-IL-1beta,NLRP3,ASC,Pro-caspase-1 and caspase-1P20 of SAD rats was increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01) .Conclusions:The mechanism of learning and memory impairment induced by increased blood pressure variability in rats may be related to the activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome.

【ABSTRACT】Risk-based decision making is the selection of a behavior option when its potential value and the probability in redeeming its value are already known.Both anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and orbital frontal cortex (OFC) participate in risk-based decision making.However,whether ACC and OFC play different roles and how they cooperate in this process remains unclear.In this study,by using probability-discounting task paradigm and multiple channel recordings,we simultaneously recorded the neuronal discharges and local filed potential in ACC and OFC when the rat was performing the risk-based decision-making task.We found that both ACC and OFC contained three types of neurons exhibiting specific discharging patterns,including prediction neurons,action + award neurons,and award neurons.Particularly,ACC and OFC prediction neurons exhibit different discharging patterns between risky and conservative choices and between the different probabilities of large/risky award.It means that they were both sensitive to the information about the probability of award.We also find rhythmic oscillation in the ACC and OFC exhibit specific coherent activities among the different probabilities of large/risky award at decision-making point.The tendency of low-risky blocks (50% block and 100%block) increased sharply before pressing,while rose slowly in 50% block and keep the baseline level in 100% block.Moreover,the average coherence showed that the average coherence was no significant difference in low-probability blocks but showed significant difference in highprobability blocks.These findings provide the first evidence of different roles of ACC and OFC in risky decision making and reveals the functional connection between the two brain areas during risk-based decision making.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is a promising strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke.However,the side effects of nausea and vomiting from the current PDE4 inhibitors have limited their clinical applications.FCPR03 is a novel PDE4 inhibitor with little emetic potential.This study aimed to investigate the effects of FCPR03 on neuronal injury after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and the underlying signaling pathway.Methods:The effects of FCPR03 on cellular apoptosis,intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS),and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were evaluated in HT-22 neuronal cells and cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD).The impact of FCPR03 on brain injury,neurological scores and behavioral performance was investigated in rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).The protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitor MK-2206 and β-catenin siRNA were used to investigate the underlying pathways.Results:FCPR03 dose-dependently protected against OGD-induced cellular apoptosis in both HT-22 cells and cortical neurons.The levels of MMP and ROS were also restored by FCPR03.FCPR03 increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT,glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β),and β-catenin.Interestingly,the role of FCPR03 was reversed by MK-2206 and β-catenin siRNA.Consistently,FCPR03 reduced the infarct volume and improved neurobehavioral outcomes in rats following MCAO.Moreover,FCPR03 increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT,GSK3β and β-catenin within the ischemic penumbra of rats following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Conclusion:Taken together,FCPR03 has therapeutic potential in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.The neuroprotective effects of FCPR03 are mediated through activation of the AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:Chronic neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD).During the process of neuroinflammation,over-activated microglia release many pro-inflammatory factors,which eventually induce neurodegeneration.Inhibition of excessive microglial activation is regarded as a promising strategy for PD treatment.Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase and its role is mostly reported to be related to tumors.Recently,some reports indicated that Src is a central mediator in multiple signaling pathways including neuroinflammation.Objective:The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the role of Src in microglial regulation and neuroinflammation.Methods:The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -stimulated BV-2 microglia in vitro model and the classic 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) -induced in vivo PD model were applied to evaluate the effect of Src inhibition on neuroinflammation,neuron survival and PD motor symptom.Western blot analysis was used to measure the protein expression.Immunocytochemistry assay was used to measure the protein expression and cell morphology.Immunohistochemistry assay was used to observe pathological change.qRT-PCR analysis was used to measure the mRNA expression.Griess method was used to measure NO concentration in cell cultures.The rotarod test is used to measure coordinated motor skills.Results:The results showed that inhibition of Src could significantly relieve microgliosis and decrease levels of inflammatory factors both in vitro and in vivo.Src inhibition significantly reduced protein expressions of iNOS and COX2 and decrease mRNA expressions of TNF-α,and IL-6 in both LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia and MPTP-treated mice.We also found that Src is critical for microglia to exert neurotoxic effect.SH-SY5Y cell viability was dramatically reduced after incubating with conditioned medium from LPS-treated BV2 cells,and the morphological change of SH-SY5Y cells could be observed.Src inhibition could partially block the effect of neurotoxicity mediated by LPS-stimulated microglia.Besides,inhibition of Src function could reduce the loss of dopaminergic neurons and improve the motor behavior of the MPTP-treated mice.TH-positive neurons in SNpc showed a significant reduction in MPTP-treated mice,which was prevented by PP2 treatment.The mRNA and protein level of TH significantly decreased in SNpc of MPTP-induced PD model mice,and Src inhibitor administration markedly increased TH expression.As for behavior test,our findings revealed that behavioral dysfunction had occurred 7 days post MPTP injection.Compared with control group,MPTP treated mice stayed less time on the rod during all the 3 tests.At day 7,the performance of Src inhibitor treated mice had no improvement,but it enhanced significantly in the tests at day 10 and 12.Conclusion:This study not only verified the critical role of Src tyrosine kinase in neuroinflammation,but also further proved that interfering neuroinflammation is beneficial for PD treatment.More importantly,this study shed a light on the hypothesis that Src tyrosine kinase might be a potential therapeutic target for PD and other neuroinflammation-related diseases.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Stroke is the second common cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability.During ischemic stroke,energy depletion induces anoxic depolarization and excitotoxicity in neurons characterized by progressive cell death and development of permanent local brain damage.Ischemic stroke is unmet medical need,representing a major challenge of how to develop an effective stroke drug therapy.Over the past twenty years,all the NMDA receptor antagonists aimed at stroke treatment have completely failed in clinical trials.This outcome strongly suggests that the neuronal excitotoxicity is likely mediated by the non-NMDA mechanism.Voltage-gated KCNQ/Kv7/M- potassium channel is important in regulating neuronal excitability by stabilizing the resting membrane potential.The aim of this study was to test any neuroprotective effect of KCNQ channel openers on ischemic injury in mice.Methods:Mouse model of ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) was established by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(tMCAO).Neurologic deficit scores and infarct volume measurement were assessed.Open field,accelerating rotarod and grip strength were performed to assess neurological deficit behavior.The model of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced injury in mouse primary culture of cortical neurons was used.Cell viability was determined by measuring the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the number of viable cells was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) after OGD injury.Immunofluorescence staining was used for evaluating expression of KCNQ2 subunits in cultured cortical neurons before and after OGD injury.The whole-cell clamp recordings of cortical neurons after OGD injury were carried out.Results:The tMCAO led to rapid,predictable and consistently sized necrotic brain lesions and behavioral deficits.Administration of KCNQ channel openers 30 min before surgery significantly decreased neurological scores and brain infarct size in male Kunming mice (8~10 weeks) at 24 h after tMCAO.The following behavioral test results support the histological finding.Administration of Kv7 opener retagabine (10 mg·kg-1) or SCR2862 (1 mg·kg-1) improved the track length and speed of mice in open filed task,and increased the latency that mice stayed on an accelerating rotarod.The grip strength of affected side forelimb was also enhanced by KCNQ channel openers.Furthermore,neurons incubated with KCNQ channel openers 1 h before OGD exposure showed an increased cell vitality through decreased release of LDH when subjected to OGD injury for 20 min.Electrophysiological recordings showed that OGD exposure for 10 min caused significant depolarization of cortical neurons with decreased in AP amplitude and firing rates.The depolarization of membrane potential was blocked by Kv7 channel openers,retagabine at 10 µmol·L-1or SCR2862 compound at 1 µmol·L-1.Conclusions:An obvious improvement in the reduction of brain injury and functional impairment was observed in mouse model of ischemic injury after administration of KCNQ channel openers.Activation of Kv7 channel function also exhibited protective effects on OGD induced injury in primary cultured cortical neurons.The mechanism maybe that KCNQ channel openers blocked the depolarization after OGD in primary cortical neurons and declined the excitability of damaged neurons.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:To establish a skin photoaging (SP) mouse model using female Kunming (KM) mice and compare the level of oxygen free radicals in the skin of normal mice with that in mice treating with melatonin liposome,so as to discuss the pharmacological activity of melatonin liposome.Methods:Skin aging includes endogenous aging and exogenous aging.Endogenous aging,also known as intrinsic aging or time aging,is an irreversible process,which is only controlled by time and genetic information.Exogenous aging refers to the degeneration of the skin caused by environmental factors.Among many environmental factors,ultraviolet (UV) is the leading one,which is also known as photoaging.It is a kind of skin aging disease that can be prevented or treated.Therefore,the research on anti-aging in the research field generally refers to the research on anti-skin exogenous aging (photoaging).In this study,long wave ultraviolet (UVA)combined with medium wave ultraviolet (UVB) were used as the light source,and KM mice were used as experimental animals to prepare the skin exogenous photoaging model.Based on this model,the skin was coated with melatonin flexible liposomes for treatment.The macroscopic evaluation of dorsal skin,tensile test and weight measurement were employed to evaluate skin hydration and the degree of skin elasticity,and to explore the protective effect of melatonin flexible liposomes on light skin aging model mice induced by UV.In order to further study the mechanism of melatonin flexible liposome against skin photoaging,we further analyzed the activities of a series of antioxidant enzymes,including superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT),and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the mouse skin tissues by biochemical quantitative analysis.In addition,this study also observed and analyzed the degree of irregular epidermal hyperplasia,the morphology,content and distribution of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in animals through the experimental method of HE staining,and made an overall evaluation on the changes of skin histology.Results:The results showed that melatonin flexible liposome could significantly improve UV-induced skin dryness,flabbiness,coarse and deep wrinkles,nodules,pigmentation spots,and leather-like appearance.In addition,it could significantly shorten the recovery time after skin stretching,suggesting that melatonin flexible liposome can significantly increase skin hydration,maintain skin elasticity,and maintain the skin macroscopic normal characterization.The results showed that melatonin flexible liposome could significantly increase the activity of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT in skin tissue of photoaging mice,significantly reduce the content of MDA.At the same time,histopathological results showed that melatonin flexible liposome could significantly improve the deformability of skin structure caused by UV (especially the distortion and fracture of collagen fiber and elastic fiber),and maintain the normal distribution of collagen fiber and elastic fiber.It is suggested that the external application of melatonin flexible liposome can reverse the skin photoaging damage caused by repeated UV radiation via the antioxidant effect.Conclusion:In this study,it was found that melatonin flexible liposome could significantly increase the elasticity of animal skin and maintain the macroscopic normal characterization of skin through in vivo anti-aging experiments.According to the further exploration of the mechanism,it was found that the skin coated with melatonin flexible liposome could play an anti-aging role through anti-oxidation.It is suggested that melatonin flexible liposome has potential efficacy in preventing skin photoaging.This study is beneficial to the development and application of melatonin flexible liposome in anti-aging diseases in the future,and provides a reference and basis for the development of melatonin cosmetics.

【ABSTRACT】Depression is a public health threat with high suicide rate,and the World Health Organization predicted that it will become the second largest burden of disease in the world by 2020.Although a great progress have been made in illustrating the pathophysiology of depression,many limitations still exist.The clinical antidepressants can only provide 2/3 of these patients with some relief.Cholinergic-adrenergic theory has received more and more attention in recent years,and the central role of different subtypes has also received attention.Objective:To study the role of α4β2 nAChRs in the antidepressant process in CUMS mice and to explore the mechanism preliminarily.Methods:We established a mouse model of chronic mild unpredictable stress (CUMS),and we antagonized Nicotine using the α4β2 subtype acetylcholine receptor specific antagonist DHβE,also,DHβE administration alone group was set up to rule out the effect of DHβE itself on mice at this dose.Subsequently,the depression-related behaviors,neuronal morphological function,neurotransmitter level,receptor expression level and related signaling pathway protein expression in mice of different administration groups were investigated.Results:Nicotine showed significant antidepressant effects in CUMS mice,which could effectively improve the depression and anxiety behaviors of CUMS mice in tail suspension,forced swimming,sucrose preference test,open field experiment,elevated plus maze test.But the behavior changes of Nicotine were antagonized when α4β2 nAChRs were blocked.Meanwhile,Nicotine improved the neurological function,regulated the ACh and NE contents,decreased β2 nAChRs expression,and activated the PKA-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway.And all these effects were weakened when Nicotine was combined with DHβE,in another word,when α4β2 nAChRs were antagonized.Conclusion:It showed that nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists and antagonists were effective

in regulating animal mood both during normal state and after environmental stimulation,and α4β2 nAChRs played an essential role in antidepressant process in CUMS mice.This article will provide theoretical basis and experimental data support of cholinergic receptor-related compounds,and provide a reference for researchers to develop new antidepressants.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:In mammals,almost all physiological and behavioral activities are oscillated ~24 h rhythms by an internal conserved circadian clock.At molecular level,circadian clock depending on a transcriptional/translational feed-back loop.CLOCK and BMAL1,two key transcription factors,heterodimerize and activate transcription of two repressors PERs (PER1,PER2) and CRYs.NAD+-dependent deacylase Sirt1 deacetylates BMAL1 and PER2 to regulate circadian rhythms.Sirt6,another NAD+-dependent deacylase,is also involved in maintenance of circadian rhythms.However,the precise function and targets of Sirt6 on the regulation of circadian clock are elusive.Objective:To investigate the precise mechanism of Sirt6 on the regulation of circadian clock.Methods:The gene expressions of Sirt1 or Sirt6 in mouse different tissues were analyzed by Real-time PCR.For Sirt6 knockdown,small interfering RNA (siRNA)targeting Sirt6 was designed and transient transfection was performed with RNAiMax transfection reagent.Circadian rhythms in bioluminescence from per2::luc in SW1353 cells were recorded in real time using photomultiplier tube (PMT) devices.The capability of Sirt6 to interact with several core clock components in HEK293T cells was assessed by Co-Immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assay.The degradation of PER2 after Sirt6 knockdown was measured by western blotting.Results:(1) Sirt6 is widely distributed in the body,especially highly expression in the hypothalamus and pituitary in brain.(2) SiRNA-mediated depletion of SIRT6 led to significant changes in clock oscillations,with a period lengthening (~113%;P<0.01) and amplitude reduction (~50%;P<0.01).(3) Sirt6 directly interacted with core clock component including BMAL1,CLOCK,and PER2.(4) Sirt6 knockdown repressed the degradation of PER2.Conclusion:In summary,we found that Sirt6 directly interacted with the clock components,i.e.CLOCK,BMAL1 and PER2,to participate in the regulation of circadian clock.Furthermore,Sirt6 regulates the degradation of PER2,which may be the key to its role.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:Although estrogen therapy is the mainstay for management of menopause syndrome,long-term estrogen therapy increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer,stroke,and cardiovascular disease.A search of alternative therapy particularly from herbal medicine is therefore highly desired.Lily-Rehmannia Decoction (LRD,百合地黄汤) is a classic Chinese medicine formula which consists of Bulbus Lilli (百合) and Radix Rehmanniae (地黄)and is often used for the treatment of depression,dysphoria,and insomnia.Here,we examined whether LRD and its components AEBL and AERR (aqueous extract of them),could ameliorate the menopause-associated psychiatric disorders.Methods:Ovariectomized (OVX) mice were treated with 1.8 g·kg-1AELB,2.6 g·kg-1AERR,2.3 g·kg-1LRD or 0.3 mg·kg-1estradiol for 5 weeks.Multiple behavioral paradigms were conducted.Uterus and brain were collected for the measurement of neurotransmitters and their related biomarkers,neurotrophins,and estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ).Results:The three herbal agents showed similar anxiolytic and antidepressant effects with estrogen therapy,which seemed to be achieved via the predominant protection of neurotransmitters,neurotrophins and ERβ receptors in the related brain regions.While estradiol limited OVX-induced weight gains and prevented uterine shrinkage and the drop of serum estrogen level,the herbal agents had no or minor effects on these indices.Moreover,the herbal agents might exert a better safety profile than estrogen therapy because they had minor effects on uterine nerve growth factor (NGF) and ERα expression levels.However,AEBL,but not AERR or LRD,exerted similar effects on the OVX-induced cognitive deficit with estrogen therapy,which was possibly associated with the upregulation of cortical ERα.Conclusions:AEBL is a promising agent that may serve as a novel therapy for reducing menopause-associated neuropsychological disorders.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:The cause of Parkinson disease (PD) is generally not clear,but it is considered to be related to excessive oxidative damage.Therefore,the identification of therapeutic targets and compounds with antioxidant damage is a reasonable strategy to slow down the progress of PD.FCPR16 is a novel phosphodiesterase4 inhibitor with little emetic potential.Our previous studies showed that FCPR16 was an effective compound for blocking 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+)-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells and neurons.However,the detailed mechanisms underlying its protective effect have not been investigated.The level of oxidative stress in neurons is closely related to the balance of mitochondria mass,while autophagy strongly regulates mitochondrial activity in neurons.Our previous study indicated that inhibition of PDE4 or PDE4 knockdown enhanced the activation of autophagy in microglial cells.While whether PDE4 inhibition mediates autophagy in neurons is largely unknown.As described above,autophagy plays a pivotal role in maintaining redox and mitochondrial homeostasis.We were interested in exploring the impact of PDE4 inhibition on autophagy in neurons.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells and neurons was induced with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to mimic Parkinson’s disease cell injury in vitro,and MTT assay was used to investigate the viability effects of FCPR16 (50 μmol·L-1) with or without different autophagy inhibitors on MPP+-injured SH-SY5Y cells.Detection of apoptosis was performed by PI staining fluorescence.Lysosomes are essential in autophagy,so LYT Red Stain was used to detect lysosomes in SY5Y cells and neurons.Cells were exposed to CellROX Deep Red Reagent to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).Mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) measurement was executed by 5,5′,6,6′-tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl- carbocyanineiodide (JC-1).To better detect intracellular autophagy,we used the CYTO-ID Autophagy detection kit to detect the autophagic vacuoles and monitor autophagic flux.The expression of autophagy related proteins and other related signal molecules were demonstrated by Western blot.As relevant indicators of oxidative stress,3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and highly toxic peroxide 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)were detected with 3-NT and 4-HNE ELISA kits.Results:FCPR16 could significantly decrease the expression of p62,an autophagy substrate,at 6 h and 12 h,while FCPR16 enhanced the level of LC3-Ⅱ.Similarly,FCPR16 increased the lysosomes fluorescence and CYTO-ID signal in cells and neurons,while it could be block by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and hydroxychloroquine sulfate(HCQ).Simultaneously,Treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with FCPR16 prevented MPP+-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential(Δψm).Importantly,we also found that FCPR16 phosphorylated and thus activated AMPK in SHSY5Y cells treated with MPP+.In contrast,blockade of the AMPK pathway with compound C blocked the role of FCPR16 in autophagy enhancement.MPP+-induced a significant increase in PI-positive cells,while FCPR16 decreased the ratio of PI positive cells and 3-MA and compound C could block the protective effect.Additionally,FCPR16 reduced MPP+-induced decline of cell viability,and 3-MA and compound C could block the protective effect.Conclusion:Deficits in autophagy have been proven to participate the pathology of PD and targeting autophagic function has been viewed as a potential therapeutic strategy for the clearance of toxic proteins (such as α-synuclein) and of impaired mitochondria.this is the first time that PDE4 inhibition has been shown to induce autophagic enhancement both in SH-SY5Y cells and in primary cultured neurons.In addition,our findings indicate that inhibition of PDE4 by FCPR16 protects against MPP+-induced oxidative stress and cellular injury in SH-SY5Y cells and neurons through the activation of AMPK-dependent autophagy.Taken together,these results show that PDE4 is a promising target for developing novel drugs against neuronal apoptosis and FCPR16 may be a potential compound for the prevention and treatment of PD.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:Alcohol dependence is not only the most common public health problem worldwide,but also the cause of many alcohol-related diseases,yet the mechanisms still remain unclear.Increasing evidence suggests that genetic factors play an important role in alcohol drinking behavior.C57BL/6J (B6) mice innately consume larger amounts of alcohol compared to DBA/2J (DBA) mice,which drink little alcohol.Our recent studies have demonstrated that phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4),an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP (cAMP),is an important target for regulating alcohol consumption.However,it is not known which of the four PDE4 subtypes (A-D) is involved.Previous studies demonstrate that lower levels of cAMP signaling are observed in specific brain regions of alcohol-preferring rodents;inhibition of cAMP signaling increases alcohol consumption,while activation of cAMP signaling in the brain decreases alcohol intake,in particularly brain regions such as the striatum and amygdala.Thus,we hypothesized that PDE4 expression in the brain of B6 and DBA mice is different and relevant to alcohol drinking.Objective:To compare the expression of PDE4 subtypes in the ethanol drinking-related brain regions of B6 and DBA mice and their responses to ethanol drinking in the absence or presence of the PDE4 inhibitor.Methods:Adult male and female B6 and DBA mice were tested for ethanol (7% and 10%,v/v) intake and preference using the twobottle choice.In addition,a separate set of B6 and DBA mice was examined for PDE4 subtype expression levels in the striatum,hippocampus,cerebral cortex,and amygdala of the brain using Western blotting.Further,PDE4 subtype expression in brain regions of B6 mice in response to ethanol drinking was examined.Finally,the PDE4 inhibitor rolipram was administered to B6 mice to detect alcohol drinking behavior changes.Results:1.Differences in ethanol drinking behavior between B6 and DBA mice.Compared to DBA mice,B6 mice did not show significant difference in body weights,sucrose intake and preference,and quinine intake and preference,but their alcohol intake and preference were significantly higher.2.Differences in the expression of PDE4 subtypes in drinking-related brain regions of B6 and DBA mice.Compared to the DBA strain,naive B6 mice showed significant higher expression of PDE4B in the striatum (P<0.05,female),cerebral cortex (P<0.05,female),and amygdala (P<0.05,male;P<0.01,female).3.PDE4B in the drinking-related brain regions of naive and alcohol-drinking B6 mice.Expression of PDE4B in the striatum (P<0.05,female),hippocampus (P<0.05,male and female),cerebral cortex (P<0.05,female),and amygdala (P<0.05,female;P<0.001,male) was significantly increased relative to naive controls.4.Effect of rolipram on alcohol drinking behavior in B6 mice.Rolipram reduced alcohol intake (P<0.05 at 0.5 mg·kg-1;P<0.01 at 1 mg·kg-1) and preference (P<0.05,0.5 and 1 mg·kg-1)without altering the total fluid intake in B6 mice.Conclusion:These results demonstrate that mice with excessive alcohol drinking (such as B6) exhibit higher levels of PDE4B expression in the brain relative to mice innately disliking alcohol (such as DBA);PDE4B expression can be further increased following ethanol consumption.Thus,PDE4B is an important player in the regulation of alcohol consumption.Drugs inhibiting PDE4B can be novel treatments for alcoholism.

【ABSTRACT】 Objectives:We intended to describe the reduction of hippocampal subfields volume as well as the changes of regional CBF in individuals at the risk of AD.We hypothesized that combination of hippocampal subfields volumes and regional CBF can acquire higher accuracy than either method alone in discriminating mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients from cognitively normal elderly adults.Methods:44 early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI) patients,50 late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI) patients and 40 healthy controls (HC) underwent sMRI and ASL-MRI scan along with a battery of neuropsychological tests.Hippocampal subfields volume was acquired by institutional specially-design software,with total intracranial volume normalization.Normalized regional and whole-brain voxel-based CBF differences were calculated using voxel-based analysis software.We compared the differences in hippocampal subfields volumes and regional CBF among the three groups.Combined with the results of multidimensional cognitive psychology evaluation,we analyzed the significant correlation between hippocampal subfield volumes and regional CBF with behavioral performance.Finally,Various combinations of these parameters were used to create the Receiver Operating Characteristic curves (ROC) in distinguishing MCI patients from the controls.Results:1.There were statistically significant differences in episodic memory score and executive function score among the three groups.2.The normalized volume of multiple subfields in bilateral hippocampus was significantly lower in LMCI patients than in the controls (P<0.05).3.The normalized volumes of each hippocampus,left DG,right CA2,right CA3 and right DG were significantly positive correlated with performance in episodic memory (P<0.001) and Logical Memory Test-Delay recall(LMT-DR)(P<0.001) in all subjects.4.Left medial frontal gyrus CBF was significantly higher in the EMCI patients than the controls (P<0.01).Right anterior/meddle cingulate gyrus CBF was significantly lower in LMCI patients than the EMCI patients (P<0.01).5.Right anterior cingulate gyrus CBF was significantly positive correlated with performance in Visuospatial function(P=0.003 1) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT) (P=0.002 76) in HC.6.For predicting the LMCI patients,the highest area under curve value was 0.857,by combining normalized right CA3 subfield volume,normalized CBF in the right anterior/middle cingulate gyrus and Left medial frontal gyrus.Conclusion:Regional CBF changes precede the hippocampal subfields atrophy.Both them reflect the cognitive function status of patients at an early stage of AD.Also,they can be used as important biomarkers to evaluate the cognitive impairment.Combination of hippocampal subfield volume and regional CBF could improve the efficacy in early recognition of high-risk individuals of AD.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:To observe the effects of high expression of PDE4B1 in the striatum on ethanol drinking behavior and the cAMP-CREB signaling pathway in mice.Methods:Thirtytwo adult male C57BL/6J mice were used and divided into 4 groups:three of the groups were microinfused with lentiviral vectors containing full-length PDE4B1 or negative control (NC)sequence,or normal saline into bilateral striata (0.7 µL/side,8×108TU·mL-1) according to the following coordinates:AP,-2.5 mm from bregma;ML,±0.5 mm from the midline;DV,-2.7 mm from the dura;the forth group of mice was infused with the same volume of lenti-PDE4B1 into bilateral prefrontal cortices (PFC;AP,-1.5 mm from bregma;ML,±0.5 mm from the midline;DV -1.2 mm from the dura).Two weeks later,alcohol consumption and preference were determined using the two-bottle choice test,followed 30 min later by the open-field test for spontaneous activity.The striatum and cerebral cortex were dissected for biochemical assays,including Western blotting for expressions of PDE4B1 and its downstream signaling molecules such as CREB/pCREB/BDNF/NPY,and ELISA for cAMP levels.Results:Compared to the NCor saline-treated animals,lenti-PDE4B1-treated mice displayed overexpression of PDE4B1 in the striatum and PFC,but only the former showed significant increases in alcohol consumption and preference,in addition to an early increase in locomotor activity.Western blotting also revealed that the expression of the signaling molecules such as pCREB,CREB,BDNF,and NPY was reduced in the striatum,but not significantly changed in the PFC.Consistently,the cAMP levels were reduced in the striatum of lenti-PDE4B1-treated mice.Conclusion:The results provide additional demonstration that PDE4B,in particular its PDE4B1 isoform,plays a unique role in the regulation of ethanol consumption.

【ABSTRACT】 Objective:Cynomorium songaricum is a traditional Chinese herb,which could tonify kidney and benefit essence.Our previous studies found the ethyl acetate extract from cynomorium songaricum (ECS) could improve the behavior and morphology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model.In this research,the pharmacological effect and mechanism of ECS on the AD model in vitro based on mitochondrial dynamic balance was studied.Method:1.Testing ECS on survival rate and morphology of these two kinds of model cells:HT22 cells were used to establish AD models with H2O2and Aβ25-35respectively.The cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 method at different concentration and time.The cells were allocated to control,ECS,Aβ,Aβ+ECS,H2O2,H2O2+ECS group.The morphological changes of cells in each group were observed by light microscope.2.ECS effects on mitochondrial dysfunction:After the intervention of ECS on cell models of Aβ and H2O2,the ultrastructural changes of mitochondria were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM);Western Blot was used to detect the expression of mitochondrial kinetics-related proteins of Drp1,p-Drp1(ser 637),Fis1,Mfn1,Mfn2 and Opa1;The cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS) content was measured by flow cytometer;ATP in cells was measured using luminescent fluorescent microplate reader of multi-wavelength measurement system;fluorescence microscope was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP).3.Explore the mechanism of ECS improves mitochondrial dysfunction:Calmodulin phosphatase inhibitor (FK506) was added to different groups,and intracellular calcium expression was detected by fluorescence microscopy;calmodulin phosphatase (CaN),p-Drp1 and Drp1 were detected by Western Blot.Result:1.20 μmol·L-1Aβ was used to establish the model for 24 hours,and 200 μmol·L-1H2O2was used to establish the model for 2 hours.ECS with the concentration of 200 μg·mL-1was used to intervene two models for 24 hours respectively,and the cell survival rate of these two model groups were significantly improved after being intervened by ECS.The morphological changes of cells were observed via optical microscopes,and it was discovered that cell was shrinking in the two models,and neurite retraction as well.After the intervention of ECS,the cells in the model group became normal in morphology,and neurite became longer,and the cells were tightly connected.As shown in TEM,mitochondria were swell,and mitochondrial crista was blurred and irregular in the two model groups,which compared with control group.After the intervention of ECS,the mitochondrial morphology basically returned to normal.ECS could significantly decreased ROS,increased ATP and enhanced MMP in the two models of Aβ and H2O2.Western Blot results showed that the expressions of Drp1 and Fis1 were significantly increased,while p-Drp1/Drp1 were decreased in the Aβ and H2O2model groups compared with the control group.There was no significant difference in the expression of Mfn1,Mfn2 and Opa1 between the model and the control groups.ECS could significantly reduce the expression of Drp1 and Fis1,and increased the p-Drp1/Drp1.3.The results showed that ECS and Calcineurin inhibitors (KF-506) could significantly reduce intracellular calcium expression,decrease the content of Calcineurin (CaN)in the models of Aβ and H2O2,and increase the ratio of p-Drp1/Drp1,thus ensuring the normal function of mitochondria.Conclusion:ECS could improve the cell survival rate in AD models of Aβ and H2O2in vitro and inhibit the expression of CaN,thus decreasing the intracellular calcium concentration and increasing the ratio of p-Drp1/Drp1,and regulates the expression of mitochondrial dynamic related proteins,and maintains the dynamic balance of mitochondria;improves morphology and mitochondrial ultrastructure of model cell;reduces the concentration of ROS and intracellular calcium ions in AD model cells;increases intracellular ATP and MMP,thereby improving mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease.

【ABSTRACT】Depression is a common but serious mental illness,with a huge socioeconomic burden,which adversely affects human mood and cognition.Ginsenosides Rg1,a major bioactive component enriched in ginseng,has potent neuroprotective effect.Chronic restraint stress (CRS)has been proposed as a classical animal model of depression and could mimic the behavioral and physiological symptoms of clinical depression well.In this study,the CRS protocol (6 h·day-1,for 28 days) was utilized to induce depression-like behavior in rats;Ginsenoside Rg1 on chronic restraint stress-induced depression was investigated for the first time.Ginsenoside Rg1 (12.5 μmol·kg-1/i.p) administrated for 2 weeks significantly attenuated depression-like behaviors (anhedonia and behavioral despair) as shown in sucrose preference test and forced swimming tests.Moreover,CRS exposure noticeably altered oxidative parameters,neurotransmitter(5-HT,NE,GABA and Glu)levels in prefrontal cortex as well as corticosterone levels in the serum,while Ginsenoside Rg1 treatment normalized these levels.Meanwhile,Ginsenoside Rg1 treatment significantly upregulated the decreased BDNF and Trkb levels induced by CRS.In conclusion,Ginsenoside Rg1 exerts an antidepressant-like effect in CRS rat possibly by regulating neurotransmitters levels and HPA function,antagonizing oxidative stress and restoring BDNF-TrkB signaling in the prefrontal cortex.This study suggested that Ginsenoside Rg1 may be a new candidate natural therapy for the prevention against stress-induced depression.

【ABSTRACT】 Background:Unrestrained activation of Th1 and Th17 cells is associated with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE),an animal model of multiple sclerosis.While inactivation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1),a GTPase that regulates mitochondrial fission,is known to protect myelin from demyelination and to reduce severity of EAE,its effect on T cells is not yet known.Methods:We investigated the effect of Mdivi-1,a small molecule inhibitor of Drp1,on EAE.Clinical scores,inflammation,demyelination and p-Drp1 expression in the central nervous system (CNS),and T cell responses in both CNS and periphery were determined.Results:Mdivi-1 effectively suppressed EAE severity by reducing demyelination and cellular infiltration in the CNS.Mdivi-1 treatment decreased the phosphorylation of Drp1 (ser616) on CD4+T cells,reduced the numbers of Th1 and Th17 cells and increased Foxp3+regulatory T cells in the CNS.Moreover,Mdivi-1 treatment effectively inhibited IFN-γ+,IL-17+and GM-CSF+CD4+T cells,while it induced CD4+Foxp3+,CD4+IL-10+regulatory T cells in the spleen.Conclusions:Together,our results demonstrate that Mdivi-1 has therapeutic potential in EAE by modulating the balance between Th1/Th17 and regulatory T cells.

【摘要】 目的:妇女进入更年期后由于雌激素水平急剧降低,导致学习记忆水平有所下降,严重影响其晚年的生活质量。去卵巢(OVX)小鼠可以较好模拟更年期认知行为及相关指标的改变,尽管文献对摘除卵巢引起的认知行为改变有所报道,但由于摘除时间长短不一,认知行为学检测结果良莠不齐。近年来在认知障碍模型中关于BDNF/TrkB 信号通路在突触可塑性以及自噬相关蛋白在细胞环境稳态方面的作用研究越来越引起科学工作者的重视。本研究将从行为学和海马相关蛋白的变化对摘除卵巢时长对学习记忆的影响进行研究,以建立稳定的模拟妇女更年期认知功能下降的动物模型,更好的指导后续药效评价及机理研究。方法:对三组7~8 周龄的ICR 小鼠摘除卵巢后分别于术后2W、4W 及8W 进行空场、新物体识别、水迷宫以及避暗实验。行为学检测结束后进行脑组织内海马部分的解剖分离,通过Western blot 的方法对海马组织中的TrkB、ULK 和P62 进行含量测定。结果:研究结果显示,与假手术组(Sham 组)相比,OVX小鼠4W 时在避暗实验中其入暗潜伏期显著降低,错误次数、暗室时间和明室近口区时间显著增加;OVX 小鼠8W 时在新物体识别实验中其相对辨别指数显著降低,水迷宫工作记忆实验的潜伏期显著增加。值得注意的是,OVX 小鼠2W 时各项检测并没有与sham 组表现出显著差异,并且水迷宫定位航行实验的相关检测指标在2W、4W 及8W 均没有表现出显著变化。海马组织的蛋白含量测定结果显示,与Sham 组相比,OVX 小鼠海马中的TrkB 蛋白从术后4W 即发生显著性降低,这一改变在术后8W 仍然存在;而OVX 小鼠海马中的自噬相关蛋白ULK 和P62 均是在术后8W 才表现出显著降低,术后两周的行为学结果和海马相关蛋白并未表现出显著性变化。结论:小鼠卵巢摘除后学习记忆损伤随时间延长逐渐加重,4W 时产生一定程度的记忆受损,8W 时损伤进一步加深,工作记忆受损。该记忆障碍发生的进程可能和神经营养以及自噬通路的先后改变有关。

【ABSTRACT】Objective:To observe the correlation between taurine(Tau)content in mouse brain tissue and the age of growth,and to provide normal reference data for the change of Tau content of brain under different disease state.Methods:We selected SPF level and Kunming species mice,the age range of which was from 1 week to 34 weeks(1 w,2 w,3 w,4 w,5 w,6 w,7 w,8 w,9 w,10 w,15 w,18 w,22 w,26 w,31 w,and 34 w),using the amino acid analyzer A300,continuously measured the content of Tau in the mice brain,and observed the correlation between the level of Tau in the brain tissue of male and female mice and the age of growth.Then we compared the differences of Tau content of male and female mice,and also compared the difference of Tau content in cerebral cortex and hippocampus.Results:The change trend of Tau content in the brain of mice was as follows:Tau content was declining continuously in 1~4 weeks(0.266→0.127 mg),fluctuating in a certain range(0.119→0.158 mg) in 4~26 weeks,and stable in 26~34 weeks(0.110→0.125 mg).Among the 16 time points in this study,compared with the female mouse cortex,the Tau content in the cortex of male mice was lower at 31 weeks.While compared with the hippocampus of female mice,the Tau content in the hippocampus of male mice was lower at 2 weeks and higher at 15 weeks(P<0.05).And compared with male mice hippocampus,the content of Tau in the cortex of male mice was higher at 2 and 22 weeks,and lower at 3,4,6,and 15 weeks.Also compared with the hippocampus of female mice,the content of Tau in the cortex of female mice was higher at 26 weeks,and lower at 2 to 4 and 18 weeks(P<0.05).Conclusions:The Tau content first decreased,then fluctuated,and reached a trough at 4~6 weeks,and remained a low value from 26 weeks.There was no significant difference between Tau content of male and female mice.But compared with hippocampus,the cortical tissue showed significant differences of Tau content before 6 weeks.The reasons and mechanisms for the change of Tau content need to be further studied.
