Coeloglossum viride var. bracteatum extract attenuates staurosporine induced neurotoxicity by restoring the FGF2-PI3K/Akt signaling axis and Dnmt3.

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated the antioxidant activity of Coeloglossum viride var. bracteatum extract (CE) in rat cortical neurons and in mice with chemically induced cognitive impairment. In this work, we established a staurosporine (STS)-induced toxicity model to decipher the neuroprotective mechanisms of CE. We found that CE protected cell viability and neurite integrity in STS-induced toxicity by restoring the levels of FGF2 and its associated PI3K/Akt signaling axis. LY294002, a pan-inhibitor of PI3K, antagonized the activity of CE, although its-mediated restoration of FGF2 was unaffected. In addition, CE restored levels of Bcl-2/Caspase-3, PKCα/CaM pathway, and Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, two methyltransferases that contribute to de novo DNA methylation. The Dnmts inhibitor 5-azacytidine impaired CE-mediated restoration of Dnmt3 or CaM, as well as the transition of DNA methylation status on the Dnmt3 promoter. These results reveal potential mechanisms that could facilitate the study and application of CE as a neuroprotective agent.

Neuroprotective effects of a Coeloglossum viride var. Bracteatum extract in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:The excessive release and accumulation of glutamate in the brain is known to be associated with excitotoxicity. CE, an extract derived from the plant Coeloglossum viride var. Bracteatum, exerted neuroprotective effects against amyloid toxicity and oxidative stress in cortical neurons. The aims of this study are to examine whether CE also attenuates glutamate neurotoxicity in rat primary cultured cortical neurons and to determine the effect of CE in vivo. According to the results of MTT, LDH release, and TUNEL assays, the CE treatment significantly reduced glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the protective effects of CE were blocked by an Akt inhibitor, LY294002, suggesting that the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway is involved in the neuroprotective effects of CE. In addition, CE might regulate the PKC-GluA2 axis to prevent neuronal apoptosis. CE also protected against dopaminergic neuronal loss in a mouse model of MPTP-induced PD. Based on our results, CE exerted neuroprotective effects both in vitro and in vivo, thus providing a potential therapeutic target for the treatment or prevention of neurodegeneration.

Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb Extract Inhibits HSV-1 Infection by Regulating ER Stress and Apoptosis.

Project description:Herpes simplex Type 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic virus that infects the peripheral and central nervous system. Usually, after primary infection in epithelial cells, HSV-1 migrates retrograde to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), where it establishes a latent infection. HSV-1 can remain latent in the nervous system, and its reactivation in the brain can rarely cause acute HSV-1 encephalitis, often a life-threatening condition, or asymptomatic reactivations that could lead to neuronal damage and ultimately neurodegenerative disorders. Acyclovir and related nucleoside analogs have been used as therapeutic agents for HSV-1 infection, but resistance to the drug can arise, and the protective effect of HSV-1 on brain cells is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need for research into safe and effective new antiviral agents that can protect brain cells from the damage that is caused by HSV-1 infection. Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb. (VBT) is widely distributed in Korea and China, and has pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activity. Studies on the antiviral effect of VBT on HSV-1 infection have not been reported so far. Therefore, we sought to determine the HSV-1 antiviral effect and molecular mechanism of VBT at the cellular level. We confirmed that VBT repressed the VP16 and IE genes in both Vero and SK-N-SH cells. We also found that the generation of HSV-1 virions was inhibited by VBT treatment. VBT inhibited the activities of the HSV-1-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stressors PERK, ATF4, and CHOP. We confirmed that VBT inhibited the activity of apoptosis factors by regulating the expression of death receptor (DR) after HSV-1 infection. As HSV-1 is closely associated with brain diseases, the study of the antiviral drug effects and mechanism of VBT is meaningful. Further studies using animal models of infection will also be performed to determine the potential of VBT as an antiviral agent.

Isoliquiritigenin Alleviates Semen Strychni-Induced Neurotoxicity by Restoring the Metabolic Pathway of Neurotransmitters in Rats.

Project description:Acute neurotoxicity of Semen Strychni can result in sudden death in epilepsy. The detoxification method and mechanism of Semen Strychni acute poisoning have not been clarified. This experiment focused on the mechanism of Semen Strychni neurotoxicity and the alleviation effects of isoliquiritigenin. The rats were intraperitoneally injected with Semen Strychni extract (125 mg/kg), followed by oral administration of isoliquiritigenin (50 mg/kg) for 7 days. FJ-B staining was used to evaluate the degree of injury on hippocampus neurons. The concentration of monoamines, amino acids, and choline neurotransmitters, the Dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) metabolic pathway in the hippocampus, cerebellum, striatum, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, serum, and plasma were detected by LC-MS/MS. The expression of neurotransmitter metabolic enzymes [catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MAO)] and neurotransmitter receptors [glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs) and gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABRs)] were, respectively determined using ELISA and qRT-PCR. The results indicated that Semen Strychni induced neuronal degeneration in the hippocampal CA1 region. Meanwhile, Semen Strychni inhibited the mRNA expression of NMDAR1, NMDAR2A, NMDAR2B, GABRa1, GABRb2 and reduced the level of MAO, which disrupted the DA and 5-HT metabolic pathway. However, isoliquiritigenin reversed these effects. In summary, isoliquiritigenin showed alleviation effects on Semen Strychni-induced neurotoxicity, which could be attributed to restoring neurotransmitters metabolic pathway, most likely through the activation of NMDA receptors.

Anti-Fatigue Activity of a Mixture of Stauntonia hexaphylla (Thunb.) Decaisne and Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb. Fruit Extract.

Project description:Stauntonia hexaphylla (Thunb.) Decaisne and Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb. are commonly used in traditional herbal medicine and food and both exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Herein, hot-water extracts of Stauntonia hexaphylla (Thunb.) Decaisne and Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb. fruits (1:1 mixture) were used to produce a complex extract NET-1601. The anti-fatigue activity of NET-1601 was evaluated in an in vitro oxidative stress model induced by treating C2C12 myotubes with H2O2. An exhaustive swimming test (EST) in vivo model was established using ICR mice. NET-1601-treated C2C12 myotubes (50, 100, and 200 mg/mL) with H2O2-induced oxidative stress displayed significantly increased cell viability and ATP content, but significantly decreased levels of reactive oxygen species. All NET-1601-treated EST models demonstrated significantly higher maximum swimming rates than control mice. Furthermore, serum lactate, lactate dehydrogenase activity, non-esterified fatty acid, and intramuscular glycogen levels were higher in NET-1601-treated mice than in control mice. In addition, mRNA levels of regulatory factors involved in muscle mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation increased upon NET-1601 treatment. Moreover, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, and liver glutathione content, and antioxidant activity were higher in NET-1601-treated mice than in control mice. Reduced malondialdehyde levels indicated that NET-1601 treatment inhibited exercise-induced lipid peroxidation. Together, these results suggest that NET-1601 retains antioxidant enzyme activity during oxidative stress, simultaneously enhancing both muscle function via glycogen and fatty acid oxidation, thereby exerting a positive effect on recovery from fatigue.

Determinants of heritable gene silencing for KRAB-dCas9 + DNMT3 and Ezh2-dCas9 + DNMT3 hit-and-run epigenome editing.

Project description:Precision epigenome editing has gained significant attention as a method to modulate gene expression without altering genetic information. However, a major limiting factor has been that the gene expression changes are often transient, unlike the life-long epigenetic changes that occur frequently in nature. Here, we systematically interrogate the ability of CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenome editors (Epi-dCas9) to engineer persistent epigenetic silencing. We elucidated cis regulatory features that contribute to the differential stability of epigenetic reprogramming, such as the active transcription histone marks H3K36me3 and H3K27ac strongly correlating with resistance to short-term repression and resistance to long-term silencing, respectively. H3K27ac inversely correlates with increased DNA methylation. Interestingly, the dependance on H3K27ac was only observed when a combination of KRAB-dCas9 and targetable DNA methyltransferases (DNMT3A-dCas9 + DNMT3L) was used, but not when KRAB was replaced with the targetable H3K27 histone methyltransferase Ezh2. In addition, programmable Ezh2/DNMT3A + L treatment demonstrated enhanced engineering of localized DNA methylation and was not sensitive to a divergent chromatin state. Our results highlight the importance of local chromatin features for heritability of programmable silencing and the differential response to KRAB- and Ezh2-based epigenetic editing platforms. The information gained in this study provides fundamental insights into understanding contextual cues to more predictably engineer persistent silencing.
