Serum metabolomics analysis combined with network pharmacology reveals possible mechanisms of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the treatment of Mongolian medicine Eerdun Wurile basic formula. Biomed Chromatogr 2024; 38:e5858. [PMID: 38501365 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
This study analyzed the endogenous metabolites and metabolic pathways in the serum of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats gavaged with the Eerdun Wurile basic formula (EWB) using metabolomics methods and network pharmacology to explore the possible mechanism of action of the EWB in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). SD rats were divided into the basic formula group, which received the EWB, and the control group, which received equal amounts of distilled water. The blood was collected from the abdominal aorta and analyzed for metabolite profiles using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS). Network pharmacology predicts the targets of the differential metabolites and disease targets; takes the intersection and constructs a "metabolite-disease-target" network; and performs protein-protein interaction, Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses. A total of 56 metabolites were selected for significant differences between the groups, mainly affecting amphetamine addiction, alcoholism, and regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes. A total of 177 potential targets for differential metabolite action in POCD were selected. The PI3K-Akt pathway, the HIF-1 pathway, and the FoxO pathway were in key positions. The studies have shown that EWB could improve POCD through multicomponents, multitargets, and multipathways, providing new possibilities and reference values for the treatment of POCD.

Abstract
GABAA receptors present in extrasynaptic areas mediate tonic inhibition in hippocampal neurons regulating the performance of neural networks. In this study, we investigated the effect of NMDA-induced plasticity on tonic inhibition in somatostatin- and parvalbumin-containing interneurons. Using pharmacological methods and transgenic mice (SST-Cre/PV-Cre x Ai14), we induced the plasticity of GABAergic transmission in somatostatin- and parvalbumin-containing interneurons by a brief (3 min) application of NMDA. In the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration, we measured tonic currents enhanced by specific agonists (etomidate or gaboxadol). Furthermore, in both the control and NMDA-treated groups, we examined to what extent these changes depend on the regulation of distinct subtypes of GABAA receptors. Tonic conductance in the somatostatin-containing (SST+) interneurons is enhanced after NMDA application, and the observed effect is associated with an increased content of α5-containing GABAARs. Both fast-spiking and non-fast-spiking parvalbumin-positive (PV+) cells showed a reduction of tonic inhibition after plasticity induction. This effect was accompanied in both PV+ interneuron types by a strongly reduced proportion of δ-subunit-containing GABAARs and a relatively small increase in currents mediated by α5-containing GABAARs. Both somatostatin- and parvalbumin-containing interneurons show cell type-dependent and opposite sign plasticity of tonic inhibition. The underlying mechanisms depend on the cell-specific balance of plastic changes in the contents of α5 and δ subunit-containing GABAARs.

Abstract
It is known that GABAergic transmission onto pyramidal neurons shows different forms of plasticity. However, GABAergic cells innervate also other inhibitory interneurons and plasticity phenomena at these projections remain largely unknown. Several mechanisms underlying plastic changes, both at inhibitory and excitatory synapses, show dependence on integrins, key proteins mediating interaction between intra- and extracellular environment. We thus used hippocampal slices to address the impact of integrins on long-term plasticity of GABAergic synapses on specific inhibitory interneurons (containing parvalbumin, PV + or somatostatin, SST +) known to innervate distinct parts of principal cells. Administration of RGD sequence-containing peptide induced inhibitory long-term potentiation (iLTP) at fast-spiking (FS) PV + as well as on SST + interneurons. Interestingly, treatment with a more specific peptide GA(C)RRETAWA(C)GA (RRETAWA), affecting α5β1 integrins, resulted in iLTP in SST + and iLTD in FS PV + interneurons. Brief exposure to NMDA is known to induce iLTP at GABAergic synapses on pyramidal cells. Intriguingly, application of this protocol for considered interneurons evoked iLTP in SST + and iLTD in PV + interneurons. Moreover, we showed that in SST + cells, NMDA-evoked iLTP depends on the incorporation of GABAA receptors containing α5 subunit to the synapses, and this iLTP is occluded by RRETAWA peptide, indicating a key role of α5β1 integrins. Altogether, our results revealed that plasticity of inhibitory synapses at GABAergic cells shows interneuron-specificity and show differences in the underlying integrin-dependent mechanisms. This is the first evidence that neuronal disinhibition may be a highly plastic process depending on interneuron type and integrins' activity.

Abstract
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is a serine protease that is expressed in various compartments in the brain. It is involved in neuronal plasticity, learning and memory, and addiction. We evaluated whether tPA, exogenously applied, could influence neuroplasticity within the mouse auditory cortex. We used a frequency-pairing paradigm to determine whether neuronal best frequencies shift following the pairing protocol. tPA administration significantly affected the best frequency after pairing, whereby this depended on the pairing frequency relative to the best frequency. When the pairing frequency was above the best frequency, tPA caused a best frequency shift away from the conditioned frequency. tPA significantly widened auditory tuning curves. Our data indicate that regional changes in proteolytic activity within the auditory cortex modulate the fine-tuning of auditory neurons, supporting the function of tPA as a modulator of neuronal plasticity.

Abstract
Sleep is an essential process that consolidates memories by modulating synapses through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we report that GABAergic synapses in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons undergo daily rhythmic alterations. Specifically, wake inhibits phasic inhibition, whereas it promotes tonic inhibition compared to sleep. We further utilize a model of chemically induced inhibitory long-term potentiation (iLTP) to examine inhibitory plasticity. Intriguingly, while CA1 pyramidal neurons in both wake and sleep mice undergo iLTP, wake mice have a much higher magnitude. We also employ optogenetics and observe that inhibitory inputs from parvalbumin-, but not somatostatin-, expressing interneurons contribute to dynamic iLTP during sleep and wake. Finally, we demonstrate that synaptic insertion of α5-GABAA receptors underlies the wake-specific enhancement of iLTP at parvalbumin-synapses, which is independent of time of the day. These data reveal a previously unappreciated daily oscillation of inhibitory LTP in hippocampal neurons and uncover a dynamic contribution of inhibitory synapses in memory mechanisms across sleep and wake.

Abstract
GABA-A receptors (GABAARs) are crucial for development and function of the brain. Altered GABAergic transmission is hypothesized to be involved in neurodevelopmental disorders. Recently, we identified Shisa7 as a GABAAR auxiliary subunit that modulates GABAAR trafficking and GABAergic transmission. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here we generated a knock-in (KI) mouse line that is phospho-deficient at a phosphorylation site in Shisa7 (S405) and combined with electrophysiology, imaging and behavioral assays to illustrate the role of this site in GABAergic transmission and plasticity as well as behaviors. We found that expression of phospho-deficient mutants diminished α2-GABAAR trafficking in heterologous cells. Additionally, α1/α2/α5-GABAAR surface expression and GABAergic inhibition were decreased in hippocampal neurons in KI mice. Moreover, chemically induced inhibitory long-term potentiation was abolished in KI mice. Lastly, KI mice exhibited hyperactivity, increased grooming and impaired sleep homeostasis. Collectively, our study reveals a phosphorylation site critical for Shisa7-dependent GABAARs trafficking which contributes to behavioral endophenotypes displayed in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
Obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) is an important cause of impaired memory and cognitive function, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. In the present study, we analyzed the levels of circRNAs in the hippocampus of C57BL/6J mice and evaluated the memory and cognition ability of C57BL/6J mice with HFD using Morris water maze and Y-maze approaches to explore the potential mechanisms linking circRNAs in obesity-associated cognitive impairment. Learning performance showed that HFD-induced obesity mice have impaired memory and cognition. The Arraystar analysis of the hippocampus displayed that HFD-induced obesity leads to the differential expression of circRNAs (DE-circRNAs) in mice. In total, 46 circular RNAs with elevated expression and 10 with decreased expression were identified. Among them, mmu_circRNA_004797 was identified to be significantly downregulated and the expression of mmu_circRNA_21040 was significantly upregulated in the HFD-fed mice, compared with control mice by PCR test. Bioinformatics analysis also showed that the upregulated circRNAs were related to the neuronal function and behavior, and material transport process, while downregulated circRNAs participated in the process of cell response to external stimuli, such as cellular response to nutrient levels. Furthermore, the KEGG pathway analysis showed that the upregulated circRNAs are mainly involved in Axon guidance, calcium signaling pathway, and ErbB signaling pathway. Only a single significant pathway, that is, “protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum”, was observed in the downregulated circRNAs. Finally, we examined the deficits of hippocampal synaptic plasticity and detected the expression of ER stress-related protein. The results showed that ER stress was activated in the hippocampus, and hippocampal synaptic plasticity deficits were displayed. Our results demonstrated that circRNAs were most likely implicated in the predisposition to obesity-associated cognitive impairment.

Abstract
For many decades, synaptic plasticity was believed to be restricted to excitatory transmission. However, in recent years, this view started to change, and now it is recognized that GABAergic synapses show distinct forms of activity-dependent long-term plasticity, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Herein, we asked whether signaling mediated by β1 or β3 subunit-containing integrins might be involved in regulating the efficacy of GABAergic synapses, including the NMDA receptor-dependent inhibitory long-term potentiation (iLTP) in the hippocampus. We found that activation of β3 integrin with fibrinogen induced a stable depression, whereas inhibition of β1 integrin potentiated GABAergic synapses at CA1 pyramidal neurons in male mice. Additionally, compounds that interfere with the interaction of β1 or β3 integrins with extracellular matrix blocked the induction of NMDA-iLTP. In conclusion, we provide the first evidence that integrins are key players in regulating the endogenous modulatory mechanisms of GABAergic inhibition and plasticity in the hippocampus.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Epilepsy, schizophrenia, and anxiety are just a few medical conditions associated with dysfunctional inhibitory synaptic transmission. GABAergic synapses are known for their extraordinary susceptibility to modulation by endogenous factors and exogenous pharmacological agents. We describe here that integrins, adhesion proteins, play a key role in the modulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission. Specifically, we show that interference with integrin-dependent adhesion results in a variety of effects on the amplitude and frequency of GABAergic mIPSCs. Activation of β3 subunit-containing integrins induces inhibitory long-term depression, whereas the inhibition of β1 subunit-containing integrins induces iLTP. Our results unveil an important mechanism controlling synaptic inhibition, which opens new avenues into the usage of integrin-aimed pharmaceuticals as modulators of GABAergic synapses.

Abstract
The adapter protein SH2B1 is recruited to neurotrophin receptors, including TrkB (also known as NTRK2), the receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Herein, we demonstrate that the four alternatively spliced isoforms of SH2B1 (SH2B1α-SH2B1δ) are important determinants of neuronal architecture and neurotrophin-induced gene expression. Primary hippocampal neurons from Sh2b1-/- [knockout (KO)] mice exhibit decreased neurite complexity and length, and BDNF-induced expression of the synapse-related immediate early genes Egr1 and Arc. Reintroduction of each SH2B1 isoform into KO neurons increases neurite complexity; the brain-specific δ isoform also increases total neurite length. Human obesity-associated variants, when expressed in SH2B1δ, alter neurite complexity, suggesting that a decrease or increase in neurite branching may have deleterious effects that contribute to the severe childhood obesity and neurobehavioral abnormalities associated with these variants. Surprisingly, in contrast to SH2B1α, SH2B1β and SH2B1γ, which localize primarily in the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, SH2B1δ resides primarily in nucleoli. Some SH2B1δ is also present in the plasma membrane and nucleus. Nucleolar localization, driven by two highly basic regions unique to SH2B1δ, is required for SH2B1δ to maximally increase neurite complexity and BDNF-induced expression of Egr1, Arc and FosL1.

Abstract
Long-term synaptic plasticity is shaped by the controlled reorganization of the synaptic proteome. A key component of this process is local proteolysis performed by the family of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In recent years, considerable progress was achieved in identifying extracellular proteases involved in neuroplasticity phenomena and their protein substrates. Perisynaptic metalloproteinases regulate plastic changes at synapses through the processing of extracellular and membrane proteins. MMP9 was found to play a crucial role in excitatory synapses by controlling the NMDA-dependent LTP component. In addition, MMP3 regulates the L-type calcium channel-dependent form of LTP as well as the plasticity of neuronal excitability. Both MMP9 and MMP3 were implicated in memory and learning. Moreover, altered expression or mutations of different MMPs are associated with learning deficits and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, addiction, or stress response. Contrary to excitatory drive, the investigation into the role of extracellular proteolysis in inhibitory synapses is only just beginning. Herein, we review the principal mechanisms of MMP involvement in the plasticity of excitatory transmission and the recently discovered role of proteolysis in inhibitory synapses. We discuss how different matrix metalloproteinases shape dynamics and turnover of synaptic adhesome and signal transduction pathways in neurons. Finally, we discuss future challenges in exploring synapse- and plasticity-specific functions of different metalloproteinases.

Abstract
It is known that besides synaptic inhibition, there is a persistent component of inhibitory drive mediated by tonic currents which is believed to mediate majority of the total inhibitory charge in hippocampal neurons. Tonic currents, depending on cell types, can be mediated by a variety of GABAA receptor (GABAAR) subtypes but in pyramidal neurons, α5-subunit containing receptors were found to be predominant. Importantly, α5-GABAARs were implicated in both inhibitory and excitatory synaptic plasticity as well as in a variety of cognitive tasks. In the present study, we asked whether the protocol that evokes NMDAR-dependent GABAergic inhibitory long-term potentiation (iLTP) also induces the plasticity of tonic inhibition in hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Our whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that the induction of this type of iLTP is associated with a marked increase in tonic current. By using the specific inverse agonist of α5-containing GABAARs (L-655,709) we provide evidence that this plastic change in tonic current is correlated with an increased proportion of this type of GABAARs. On the contrary, the iLTP induction did not affect the tonic current potentiated by THIP, indicating that the pool of δ subunit-containing GABAARs receptors remains unaffected. We conclude that the α5-GABAARs-dependent plasticity of tonic inhibition is a novel dimension of the neuroplasticity of the inhibitory drive in the hippocampal principal neurons. Overall, α5-containing GABAARs emerge as key players in a variety of plasticity mechanisms operating over a large span of time and spatial scales.
