DJ‐1 is an oxidative stress sensor that localizes to the mitochondria when the cell is exposed to oxidative stress. DJ‐1 mutations that result in gene deficiency are linked to increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). Activation of microglial stress conditions that are linked to PD may result in neuronal death. We postulated that DJ‐1 deficiency may increase microglial neurotoxicity. We found that down‐regulation of DJ‐1 in microglia using an shRNA approach increased cell sensitivity to dopamine as measured by secreted pro‐inflammatory cytokines such as IL‐1β and IL‐6. Furthermore, we discovered that DJ‐1‐deficient microglia had increased monoamine oxidase activity that resulted in elevation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide leading to increased dopaminergic neurotoxicity. Rasagaline, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor approved for treatment of PD, reduced the microglial pro‐inflammatory phenotype and significantly reduced neurotoxicity. Moreover, we discovered that DJ‐1‐deficient microglia have reduced expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), previously suggested as a risk factor for pro‐inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. Further studies of DJ‐1‐mediated cellular pathways in microglia may contribute useful insights into the development of PD providing future avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and its pathogenesis is closely associated with oxidative stress. Deposition of aggregated α‐synuclein (α‐Syn) occurs in familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson's disease. Here, we studied the effect of oligomeric α‐Syn on one of the major markers of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, in primary co‐cultures of neurons and astrocytes. We found that oligomeric but not monomeric α‐Syn significantly increases the rate of production of reactive oxygen species, subsequently inducing lipid peroxidation in both neurons and astrocytes. Pre‐incubation of cells with isotope‐reinforced polyunsaturated fatty acids (D‐PUFAs) completely prevented the effect of oligomeric α‐Syn on lipid peroxidation. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation with D‐PUFAs further protected cells from cell death induced by oligomeric α‐Syn. Thus, lipid peroxidation induced by misfolding of α‐Syn may play an important role in the cellular mechanism of neuronal cell loss in Parkinson's disease.

The oxidation of a key cysteine residue (Cys106) in the parkinsonism‐associated protein DJ‐1 regulates its ability to protect against oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Cys106 interacts with a neighboring protonated Glu18 residue, stabilizing the Cys106‐SO2? (sulfinic acid) form of DJ‐1. To study this important post‐translational modification, we previously designed several Glu18 mutations (E18N, E18D, E18Q) that alter the oxidative propensity of Cys106. However, recent results suggest these Glu18 mutations cause loss of DJ‐1 dimerization, which would severely compromise the protein's function. The purpose of this study was to conclusively determine the oligomerization state of these mutants using X‐ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, thermal stability analysis, circular dichroism spectroscopy, sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation, and cross‐linking. We found that all of the Glu18 DJ‐1 mutants were dimeric. Thiol cross‐linking indicates that these mutant dimers are more flexible than the wild‐type protein and can form multiple cross‐linked dimeric species due to the transient exposure of cysteine residues that are inaccessible in the wild‐type protein. The enhanced flexibility of Glu18 DJ‐1 mutants provides a parsimonious explanation for their lower observed cross‐linking efficiency in cells. In addition, thiol cross‐linkers may have an underappreciated value as qualitative probes of protein conformational flexibility.

S‐allyl cysteine activates the Nrf2‐dependent antioxidant response and protects neurons against ischemic injury in vitro and in vivo 下载免费PDF全文

Stroke is a devastating clinical condition for which an effective neuroprotective treatment is currently unavailable. S‐allyl cysteine (SAC), the most abundant organosulfur compound in aged garlic extract, has been reported to possess neuroprotective effects against stroke. However, the mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects remain poorly defined. The present study tests the hypothesis that SAC attenuates ischemic neuronal injury by activating the nuclear factor erythroid‐2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2)‐dependent antioxidant response in both in vitro and in vivo models. Our findings demonstrate that SAC treatment resulted in an increase in Nrf2 protein levels and subsequent activation of antioxidant response element pathway genes in primary cultured neurons and mice. Exposure of primary neurons to SAC provided protection against oxygen and glucose deprivation‐induced oxidative insults. In wild‐type (Nrf2+/+) mice, systemic administration of SAC attenuated middle cerebral artery occlusion‐induced ischemic damage, a protective effect not observed in Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2?/?) mice. Taken together, these findings provide the first evidence that activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant response by SAC is strongly associated with its neuroprotective effects against experimental stroke and suggest that targeting the Nrf2 pathway may provide therapeutic benefit for the treatment of stroke.

Methyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (MβCD) is a reagent that depletes cholesterol and disrupts lipid rafts, a type of cholesterol‐enriched cell membrane microdomain. Lipid rafts are essential for neuronal functions such as synaptic transmission and plasticity, which are sensitive to even low doses of MβCD. However, how MβCD changes synaptic function, such as N‐methyl‐d ‐aspartate receptor (NMDA‐R) activity, remains unclear. We monitored changes in synaptic transmission and plasticity after disrupting lipid rafts with MβCD. At low concentrations (0.5 mg/mL), MβCD decreased basal synaptic transmission and miniature excitatory post‐synaptic current without changing NMDA‐R‐mediated synaptic transmission and the paired‐pulse facilitation ratio. Interestingly, low doses of MβCD failed to deplete cholesterol or affect α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPA‐R) and NMDA‐R levels, while clearly reducing GluA1 levels selectively in the synaptosomal fraction. Low doses of MβCD decreased the inhibitory effects of NASPM, an inhibitor for GluA2‐lacking AMPA‐R. MβCD successfully decreased NMDA‐R‐mediated long‐term potentiation but did not affect the formation of either NMDA‐R‐mediated or group I metabotropic glutamate receptor‐dependent long‐term depression. MβCD inhibited de‐depression without affecting de‐potentiation. These results suggest that MβCD regulates GluA1‐dependent synaptic potentiation but not synaptic depression in a cholesterol‐independent manner.

Mitochondrial glutathione (GSH) is a key endogenous antioxidant and its maintenance is critical for cell survival. Here, we generated stable NSC34 motor neuron‐like cell lines over‐expressing the mitochondrial GSH transporter, the 2‐oxoglutarate carrier (OGC), to further elucidate the importance of mitochondrial GSH transport in determining neuronal resistance to oxidative stress. Two stable OGC cell lines displayed specific increases in mitochondrial GSH content and resistance to oxidative and nitrosative stressors, but not staurosporine. Inhibition of transport through OGC reduced levels of mitochondrial GSH and resensitized the stable cell lines to oxidative stress. The stable OGC cell lines displayed significant up‐regulation of the anti‐apoptotic protein, B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‐2). This result was reproduced in parental NSC34 cells by chronic treatment with GSH monoethylester, which specifically increased mitochondrial GSH levels. Knockdown of Bcl‐2 expression decreased mitochondrial GSH and resensitized the stable OGC cells to oxidative stress. Finally, endogenous OGC was co‐immunoprecipitated with Bcl‐2 from rat brain lysates in a GSH‐dependent manner. These data are the first to show that increased mitochondrial GSH transport is sufficient to enhance neuronal resistance to oxidative stress. Moreover, sustained and specific enhancement of mitochondrial GSH leads to increased Bcl‐2 expression, a required mechanism for the maintenance of increased mitochondrial GSH levels.

Overactivation of NR2B‐containing NMDA receptors through entorhinal–hippocampal connection initiates accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau in rat hippocampus after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion 下载免费PDF全文

Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) induces secondary damages in the hippocampus that is remote from primary ischemic regions. Tau hyperphosphorylation is an important risk for neurodegenerative diseases. Increased tau phosphorylation has been identified in ischemic cortex, but little is known regarding the changes in the hippocampus. We showed that unilateral transient MCAO induced accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau and concurrent dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase‐3β at Ser 9 in the ipsilateral hippocampus. These MCAO‐induced changes were not reproduced when glutamatergic inputs from the entorhinal cortex to the hippocampus were transected; however, the changes were mimicked by intrahippocampal N‐methyl‐d ‐aspartate (NMDA) administration. Inhibition of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B, but not NR2A activity in the hippocampus attenuated the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau and spatial cognitive impairment in MCAO rats. Together, our data suggest that overactivation of NR2B‐containing NMDARs through entorhinal–hippocampal connection plays an important role in the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau in the hippocampus following MCAO. Glycogen synthase kinase‐3β is an important protein kinase involved in NMDARs‐mediated tau hyperphosphorylation. This study indicates that early inhibition of NR2B‐containing NMDARs may represent a potential strategy to prevent or delay the occurrence of post‐stroke dementia.

Monoamine neurotransmitters should be immediately removed from the synaptic cleft to avoid excessive neuronal activity. Recent studies have shown that astrocytes and neurons are involved in monoamine removal. However, the mechanism of monoamine transport by astrocytes is not entirely clear. We aimed to elucidate the transporters responsible for monoamine transport in 1321N1, a human astrocytoma‐derived cell line. First, we confirmed that 1321N1 cells transported dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine in a time‐ and dose‐dependent manner. Kinetics analysis suggested the involvement of low‐affinity monoamine transporters, such as organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 and 3 and plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT). Monoamine transport in 1321N1 cells was not Na+/Cl? dependent but was inhibited by decynium‐22, an inhibitor of low‐affinity monoamine transporters, which supported the importance of low‐affinity transporters. RT‐PCR assays revealed that 1321N1 cells expressed OCT3 and PMAT but no other neurotransmitter transporters. Another human astrocytoma‐derived cell line, U251MG, and primary human astrocytes also exhibited the same gene expression pattern. Gene‐knockdown assays revealed that 1321N1 and primary human astrocytes could transport monoamines predominantly through PMAT and partly through OCT3. These results might indicate that PMAT and OCT3 in human astrocytes are involved in monoamine clearance.

Loss of mitofusin 2 links beta‐amyloid‐mediated mitochondrial fragmentation and Cdk5‐induced oxidative stress in neuron cells 下载免费PDF全文

Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in age‐related degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Maintenance of mitochondrial dynamics is essential for regulating mitochondrial function. Aβ oligomers (AβOs), the typical cause of AD, lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal loss. AβOs have been shown to induce mitochondrial fragmentation, and their inhibition suppresses mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal cell death. Oxidative stress is one of the earliest hallmarks of AD. Cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) may cause oxidative stress by disrupting the antioxidant system, including Prx2. Cdk5 is also regarded as a modulator of mitochondrial fission; however, a precise mechanistic link between Cdk5 and mitochondrial dynamics is lacking. We estimated mitochondrial morphology and alterations in mitochondrial morphology‐related proteins in Neuro‐2a (N2a) cells stably expressing the Swedish mutation of amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is known to increase AβO production. We demonstrated that mitochondrial fragmentation by AβOs accompanies reduced mitofusin 1 and 2 (Mfn1/2) levels. Interestingly, the Cdk5 pathway, including phosphorylation of the Prx2‐related oxidative stress, has been shown to regulate Mfn1 and Mfn2 levels. Furthermore, Mfn2, but not Mfn1, over‐expression significantly inhibits the AβO‐mediated cell death pathway. Therefore, these results indicate that AβO‐mediated oxidative stress triggers mitochondrial fragmentation via decreased Mfn2 expression by activating Cdk5‐induced Prx2 phosphorylation.

Expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors in astrocytes are increased in damaged brains. To clarify the regulatory mechanisms of VEGF receptors, the effects of endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) were examined in rat cultured astrocytes. Expressions of VEGF‐R1 and ‐R2 receptor mRNA were at similar levels, whereas the mRNA expressions of VEGF‐R3 and Tie‐2, a receptor for angiopoietins, were lower. Placenta growth factor, a selective agonist of the VEGF‐R1 receptor, induced phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Phosphorylations of FAK and ERK 1/2 were also stimulated by VEGF‐E, a selective VEGF‐R2 agonist. Increased phosphorylations of FAK and ERK1/2 by VEGF165 were reduced by selective antagonists for VEGF‐R1 and ‐R2. Treatment with ET‐1 increased VEGF‐R1 mRNA and protein levels. The effects of ET‐1 on VEGF‐R1 mRNA were mimicked by Ala1,3,11,15‐ET‐1, a selective agonist for ETB receptors, and inhibited by BQ788, an ETB antagonist. ET‐1 did not affect the mRNA levels of VEGF‐R2, ‐R3, and Tie‐2. Pre‐treatment with ET‐1 potentiated the effects of placenta growth factor on phosphorylations of FAK and ERK1/2. These findings suggest that ET‐1 induces up‐regulation of VEGF‐R1 receptors in astrocytes, and potentiates VEGF signals in damaged nerve tissues.

Drosophila larvae innately show light avoidance behavior. Compared with robust blue‐light avoidance, larvae exhibit relatively weaker green‐light responses. In our previous screening for genes involved in larval light avoidance, compared with control w1118 larvae, larvae with γ‐glutamyl transpeptidase 1 (Ggt‐1) knockdown or Ggt‐1 mutation were found to exhibit higher percentage of green‐light avoidance which was mediated by Rhodopsin6 (Rh6) photoreceptors. However, their responses to blue light did not change significantly. By adjusting the expression level of Ggt‐1 in different tissues, we found that Ggt‐1 in malpighian tubules was both necessary and sufficient for green‐light avoidance. Our results showed that glutamate levels were lower in Ggt‐1 null mutants compared with controls. Feeding Ggt‐1 null mutants glutamate can normalize green‐light avoidance, indicating that high glutamate concentrations suppressed larval green‐light avoidance. However, rather than directly, glutamate affected green‐light avoidance indirectly through GABA, the level of which was also lower in Ggt‐1 mutants compared with controls. Mutants in glutamate decarboxylase 1, which encodes GABA synthase, and knockdown lines of the GABAA receptor, both exhibit elevated levels of green‐light avoidance. Thus, our results elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms mediating green‐light avoidance, which was inhibited in wild‐type larvae.
