SIRT1 and SIRT2 Modulators: Potential Anti-Inflammatory Treatment for Depression?

ABSTRACT: Depression is a psychiatric disorder that has a significant health burden on patients and their families. Unfortunately, the current antidepressant medications that mainly target monoamine neurotransmitters have limited efficacy. Recent evidence has indicated that neuroinflammation participates in the genesis and development of depression, and interacts with other factors involved in depression. Therefore, exploring effective anti-inflammatory medications could be beneficial for the development of new treatment options for depression. Sirtuins are a unique class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺)-dependent deacetylases, which have seven members that can affect multiple downstream targets by deacetylation activity. Among these seven members, SIRT1 and SIRT2 have been shown to participate in the pathophysiology of inflammation in numerous studies. Thus, in this short article, we review the association of SIRT1 and SIRT2 activity and depression, and evidence of the effects of SIRT1 and SIRT2 modulators on inflammation in vitro and depressive-like behaviours in vivo.

Project description:Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is clinical manifestation of chronic inflammatory progressive pathological process of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries. IHD is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. The question is whether it is possible to improve and direct the therapeutic treatment of IHD patients in the treatment of the inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic leasions.A prospective, comparative, analytica,clinically applicable, open-type study was performed. The study was conducted on 80 subjects with controlled biohumoral markers: troponin, CK, CK MB, BNP; markers of atherogenesis: LDL and homocystein; inflammatory markers: CRP, amyloid, cytokines IL-2, IL-6,TNF-alpha. The experimental group of 38 respondents had in addition to the conventional IHD treatment with: ampicillin (which included organosulfur compounds), cyancobalamin, vitamin B complex (B1, B2 and B6) and folacin. A control group of 42 respondents did not have this additional treatment.Major adverse cardic events (MACE) such as postinfarctic angina pectoris and repeated infarction, need for surgical interventions of myocardial revascularization, signs of cardiac insufficiency and death were observed during the one-year period. There was no correlation between the IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, as well as CK, CKMB and troponin and MACE in one-year follow-up. There was a strong positive correlation between MACE and CRP (p = 0,0002) and amyloid (p = 0,0005) as inflamatory markers; a strong positive correlation between MACE and homocysteine as an atherogenic marker (p = 0,0002, and amoderate positive correlation between MACE and BNP (p = 0.0403) as ischemic marker and marker of cardiac insufficiency. The echocardiographically monitored systolic function showed a moderate difference in the groups with average higher values in the experimantal group (p = 0.0282).The applied treatment exhibited a moderate positive effect on the systolic function of LV and significantly reduced the MACE in the work compared to the control group (p <0.0001), and demonstrated a potential anti-inflammatory effect.

Project description:Marantodes pumilum (Primulaceae) has been used in Malaysian folk medicine to help women regain strength after delivery and for "sickness in the bones." It was previously revealed that its extracts inhibited xanthine oxidase (XO) activity in vitro. The leaves and roots of M. pumilum var. alata (MPA), var. pumila (MPP), and var. lanceolata (MPL) were individually extracted in ethanol (80%). The anti-hyperuricemic activity was initially assessed by XO inhibition with a spectrophotometric in vitro assay. The most active extract was further investigated on hyperuricemic rat model induced by potassium oxonate to determine serum uric acid levels and liver XO effect. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was carried out on monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e., interleukin (IL)1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) secretion using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and ELISA technique, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)secretion using radioimmunoassay. The active extract was then investigated on gout-induced inflammation with MSU crystals to determine pro-inflammatory cytokines and PGE2 secretion levels in the synovial fluid of rat knee joint. Quantitative analysis using validated HPLC was performed on the extracts to determine presence of bioactive flavonoids. The findings revealed that extract of MPP leaves gave the highest inhibitory activity on XO (IC50 130.5 μg/mL) compared to other extracts tested. However, all extracts possessed significantly lower activity compared to allopurinol (IC50 0.13 μg/mL). Oral administration of MPP leaf extract (200 mg/kg) significantly reduced serum uric acid level in hyperuricemic rats in time-dependent manner to the baseline level and it was as effective as allopurinol (5 mg/kg). The extract also inhibited liver XO activity (25%) compared to allopurinol (45%). In vitro anti-inflammatory assay showed that extract of MPP roots inhibited MSU crystals-induced secretion of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, and PGE2 with IC50 values of 36, 25, 38, 18, and 46 μg/mL, respectively. Oral administration of the MPP root extract (200 mg/kg) significantly decreased IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2 levels in rat's synovial fluid as effective as indomethacin. There were no significant body weight changes of all experimental animals. MPP extracts showed presence of myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol. Myricetin was detected with values of 0.2 and 0.6 mg/g for root and leaf extracts, respectively. The anti-hyperuricemic of MPP leaf and anti-inflammatory of MPP root indicated that MPP may be promising for complementary therapy of gout.
