Project description:BackgroundResolution of inflammation is an active and dynamic process after surgery. Maresin 1 (MaR1) is one of a growing number of specialised pro-resolving lipids biosynthesised by macrophages that regulates acute inflammation. We investigated the effects of MaR1 on postoperative neuroinflammation, macrophage activity, and cognitive function in mice.MethodsAdult male C57BL/6 (n=111) and Ccr2RFP/+Cx3cr1GFP/+ (n=54) mice were treated with MaR1 before undergoing anaesthesia and orthopaedic surgery. Systemic inflammatory changes, bone healing, neuroinflammation, and cognition were assessed at different time points. MaR1 protective effects were also evaluated using bone marrow derived macrophage cultures.ResultsMaR1 exerted potent systemic anti-inflammatory effects without impairing fracture healing. Prophylaxis with MaR1 prevented surgery-induced glial activation and opening of the blood-brain barrier. In Ccr2RFP/+Cx3cr1GFP/+ mice, fewer infiltrating macrophages were detected in the hippocampus after surgery with MaR1 prophylaxis, which resulted in improved memory function. MaR1 treatment also reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cell surface markers and cytokines by in vitro cultured macrophages. MaR1 was detectable in the cerebrospinal fluid of older adults before and after surgery.ConclusionsMaR1 exerts distinct anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects through regulation of macrophage infiltration, NF-κB signalling, and cytokine release after surgery. Future studies on the use of pro-resolving lipid mediators may inform novel approaches to treat neuroinflammation and postoperative neurocognitive disorders.

Project description:Background: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), a postoperative cognitive dysfunction occurs more often in the elderly. The etiology of PND remains largely elusive. This study aims to understand the etiology in a mouse model with tibial fracture (a surgical trauma), by examining the transcriptome-wide response of hippocampus, a brain region that is tightly associated with memory formation. Methods: Mice at age of 7~8 months were randomly divided into two groups, surgery (tibial fracture) group and control (sham) group. At day (d) 1 after the surgical operation, hippocampal tissues were isolated and then subjected to RNA extraction and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Findings: Levels of respiratory complex related genes are significantly decreased in the brain of mice subjected to surgery. Consequently, the activities of multiple respiratory complexes and respiratory chain function is decreased in the hippocampus of mice with surgical operation. Interpretation: We here propose a novel mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction in PND etiology, and also provide a potential therapeutic target for PND.

Project description:For many of the versatile functions of polysaccharides as natural ingredients in human foods, the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities of fucoidan, partly owing to its high sulfate content, attracted extensive attention in its potential application in cancer therapy as well as in prevention of neurodegeneration. In this study, we characterized the impact of long-term supplementation of Undaria pinnatifida-derived fucoidan on the gene expression and immune cell abundance in mouse PBMCs. Despite the significantly increased Th17 cells and activated NK cells, naïve B cells were substantially reduced in the PBMCs in fucoidan mice. Fucoidan supplementation induced prominent expression changes in genes associated with Th1/Th2 cell differentiation. Although fucoidan displayed a remarkable anti-inflammatory capacity in our mouse models, perioperative administration of fucoidan failed to show any noticeable beneficiary effect in relieving synaptic and cognitive dysfunction at the acute phase after surgery, which was believed to cause neurocognitive impairment by inducing neuroinflammation. Comparing with that of the mice with control diet, mitigated microglia activities including neuronal surveillance and phagocytosis were also observed in mice with perioperative administration of fucoidan. In addition, no influence on either basal level or surgery-induced oxidative stress was observed in mice with fucoidan supplementation. Given the complex features of inflammation as the first response to various detrimental situations, we proposed that the anti-inflammation potential of fucoidan was likely to induce an immune-suppressive change in the postoperative mouse brain and conferred unfavorable environment for the neurocognitive recovery at least at the acute phase after surgery.

Project description:Perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) is emerging as a significant complication of surgery in elderly patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of PND are not well known. Here we applied microarray analysis to identify circular RNAs (circRNAs) in hippocampus from a mouse model of PND and control mice. Then, the dysregulated circRNAs were confirmed via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then, Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed to probe the vital functions of dysregulated genes.

Project description:Perioperative neurocognitive disorders are common in elderly patients who have undergone surgical procedures. Neuroinflammation induced by microglial activation is a hallmark of these neurological disorders. Acetate can suppress inflammation in the context of inflammatory diseases. We employed an exploratory laparotomy model with isoflurane anesthesia to study the effects of acetate on perioperative neurocognitive disorders in aged mice. Neurocognitive function was assessed with open-field tests and Morris water maze tests 3 or 7 days post-surgery. Acetate ameliorated the surgery-induced cognitive deficits of aged mice and inhibited the activation of IBA-1, a marker of microglial activity. Acetate also reduced expression of inflammatory proteins (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6), oxidative stress factors (NADPH oxidase 2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and reactive oxygen species), and signaling molecules (nuclear factor kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase) in the hippocampus. BV2 microglial cells were used to verify the anti-inflammatory effects of acetate in vitro. Acetate suppressed inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-treated BV2 microglial cells, but not when GPR43 was silenced. These results suggest that acetate may bind to GPR43, thereby inhibiting microglial activity, suppressing neuroinflammation, and preventing memory deficits. This makes acetate is a promising therapeutic for surgery-induced neurocognitive disorders and neuroinflammation.

Project description:BackgroundClinical and animal studies demonstrated that neuroinflammation from anesthesia (sevoflurane) is the main contributor to cause perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). Recently, it was reported that microglia respond to hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, which was the target of sevoflurane. Whether HCN channels are involved in the induction of neuroinflammation after sevoflurane exposure is still unclear.ResultsSevoflurane exposure had increased cognitive dysfunction and anxiety-like behaviors in rats. Rats inhaled with sevoflurane had activated microglia and increased neuroinflammation (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) in the hippocampus. RNA sequencing identified 132 DEGs (86 up-regulated and 46 down-regulated DEGs [differentially expressed genes]) in the hippocampus of PND rats. RNA-sequencing also uncovered that sevoflurane exposure down-regulates HCN2 expression. Pathway and process enrichment analysis suggests DEGs are mainly enriched in regulation of system process, positive regulation of glutamate secretion, secretion, regulation of synaptic transmission, regulation of nervous system process, behavior, negative regulation of sodium ion transport, and learning or memory. We validated that sevoflurane exposure can down-regulate the levels of PEX5R/Trip8b (an interaction partner and auxiliary subunit of HCN channels) and HCN1-4 channels in the hippocampus of PND rats. We used immunofluorescence staining to identify that HCN2 co-labels with neurons (Neun), astrocytes (GFAP), and microglia (iba1). We observed that the co-labeling of HCN2 with neurons or microglia decreased in the hippocampus and cortex after sevoflurane exposure. Blocking HCN2 by ZD7288 treatment further activated microglia and aggravated sevoflurane exposure-induced anxiety-like behavior, cognitive impairment, and neuroinflammation.ConclusionsWe concluded that sevoflurane exposure can induce an increased level of neuroinflammation, microglial activation, cognitive dysfunction, and anxiety-like behaviors in rats. HCN2 channel, as the target of sevoflurane action, mediates this process. HCN2 might be a target for the treatment and prevention of sevoflurane-induced PND.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a key complication affecting older individuals after anesthesia and surgery. Failure to translate multiple pharmacological therapies for PND from preclinical studies to clinical settings has necessitated the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) treatment has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases and has the potential to translate basic science into clinical practice. In this study, we investigated the effects and underlying mechanism of hUC-MSCs on PND in aged mice.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> hUC-MSCs were isolated from an infant umbilical cord and identified using flow cytometry and differentiation assays. We established PND model by undergoing aseptic laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia maintaining spontaneous ventilation in 18-month-old male C57BL/6 mice. hUC-MSCs were slowly injected into mice by coccygeal vein before anesthesia. Cognitive function, neuroinflammation, neuroplasticity, endogenous neurogenesis and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were assessed. To determine the mechanisms underlying by which hUC-MSCs mediate their neuroprotective effects in PND, K252a, an antagonist of BDNF receptor, was administered intraperitoneally before surgery. Hippocampal BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway and metabolomic signatures were evaluated.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> hUC-MSC treatment ameliorated the learning and memory impairment in aged mice with PND. The downstream effects were the suppression of neuroinflammatory responses and restoration of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity dysregulation. Interestingly, the level of mature BDNF, but not that of proBDNF, was increased in the hippocampus after hUC-MSC treatment. Further analysis revealed that the improved cognitive recovery and the restoration of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity dysregulation elicited by exposure to hUC-MSCs were, at least partially, mediated by the activation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway. Untargeted metabolomic further identified lipid metabolism dysfunction as potential downstream of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in hUC-MSC-mediated neuroprotection for PND.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Our study highlights the beneficial effects of hUC-MSC treatment on PND and provides a justification to consider the potential use of hUC-MSCs in the perioperative period.</p>

Project description:Pyroptosis is a recently characterized inflammatory form of programmed cell death that is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). Elamipretide (SS-31), a mitochondrial-targeted peptide with multiple pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory activity, has been demonstrated to protect against many neurological diseases. However, the effect of elamipretide on pyroptosis in PND has not been studied. We established an animal model of PND by performing an exploratory laparotomy on mice under isoflurane anesthesia and examined the effects of elamipretide on cognitive function, synaptic integrity, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, and signaling controlling pyroptosis. Our results showed that anesthesia and surgery caused mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal morphology, activation of canonicalnod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-caspase-1 dependent pyroptosis, and downregulation of synaptic integrity-related proteins in the hippocampus in aged mice, thus leading to learning and memory deficits in behavioral tests. Remarkably, treatment with the mitochondrial-targeted peptide elamipretide not only had protective effects against mitochondrial dysfunction but also attenuated surgery-induced pyroptosis and cognitive deficits. Our results provide a promising strategy for the treatment of PND involving mitochondrial dysfunction and pyroptosis.
