[PMID: 28704930 PMCID: PMC5535992 DOI: 10.3390/ijms18071502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2017] [Revised: 07/06/2017] [Accepted: 07/10/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the neuropathology associated with status epilepticus (SE) and is implicated in the development of epilepsy. While excitotoxic mechanisms are well-known mediators affecting mitochondrial health following SE, whether hyperactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) also contributes to SE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction remains to be examined. Here we first evaluated the temporal evolution of poly-ADP-ribosylated protein levels in hippocampus following kainic acid-induced SE as a marker for PARP-1 activity, and found that PARP-1 was hyperactive at 24 h following SE. We evaluated oxidative metabolism and found decreased NAD+ levels by enzymatic cycling, and impaired NAD+-dependent mitochondrial respiration as measured by polarography at 24 h following SE. Stereological estimation showed significant cell loss in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 subregions 72 h following SE. PARP-1 inhibition using N-(6-Oxo-5,6-dihydro-phenanthridin-2-yl)- N,N-dimethylacetamide (PJ-34) in vivo administration was associated with preserved NAD+ levels and NAD+-dependent mitochondrial respiration, and improved CA1 neuronal survival. These findings suggest that PARP-1 hyperactivation contributes to SE-associated mitochondrial dysfunction and CA1 hippocampal damage. The deleterious effects of PARP-1 hyperactivation on mitochondrial respiration are in part mediated through intracellular NAD+ depletion. Therefore, modulating PARP-1 activity may represent a potential therapeutic target to preserve intracellular energetics and mitochondrial function following SE.

Neurological and histological consequences induced by in vivo cerebral oxidative stress: evidence for beneficial effects of SRT1720, a sirtuin 1 activator, and sirtuin 1-mediated neuroprotective effects of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition. PLoS One 2014; 9:e87367.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase and sirtuin 1 are both NAD+-dependent enzymes. In vitro oxidative stress activates poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, decreases NAD+ level, sirtuin 1 activity and finally leads to cell death. Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase hyperactivation contributes to cell death. In addition, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibition restores NAD+ level and sirtuin 1 activity in vitro. In vitro sirtuin 1 induction protects neurons from cell loss induced by oxidative stress. In this context, the role of sirtuin 1 and its involvement in beneficial effects of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibition were evaluated in vivo in a model of cerebral oxidative stress induced by intrastriatal infusion of malonate in rat. Malonate promoted a NAD+ decrease that was not prevented by 3-aminobenzamide, a poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibitor, at 4 and 24 hours. However, 3-aminobenzamide increased nuclear SIRT1 activity/expression ratio after oxidative stress. Malonate induced a neurological deficit associated with a striatal lesion. Both were reduced by 3-aminobenzamide and SRT1720, a sirtuin 1 activator, showing beneficial effects of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibition and sirtuin 1 activation on oxidative stress consequences. EX527, a sirtuin 1 inhibitor, given alone, modified neither the score nor the lesion, suggesting that endogenous sirtuin 1 was not activated during cerebral oxidative stress. However, its association with 3-aminobenzamide suppressed the neurological improvement and the lesion reduction induced by 3-aminobenzamide. The association of 3-aminobenzamide with SRT1720, the sirtuin 1 activator, did not lead to a better protection than 3-aminobenzamide alone. The present data represent the first demonstration that the sirtuin 1 activator SRT1720 is neuroprotective during in vivo cerebral oxidative stress. Furthermore sirtuin 1 activation is involved in the beneficial effects of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibition after in vivo cerebral oxidative stress.

J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 2010; 61:319-28.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) maintains genomic integrity by repairing DNA strand breaks, however over-activation of PARP following neural tissue injury is hypothesized to cause neuronal death. Therefore, PARP inhibitors have potential for limiting neural injury under certain conditions. A reliable method for assessing PARP activity in brain is critical for development of novel inhibitors with CNS activity. We developed the PARP In Situ Activity (PISA) assay to provide a direct, quantitative assessment of CNS PARP activity in vitro or in vivo. METHODS The assay utilized brain sections from rats with striatal kainic acid (KA) lesions and 3H- or biotinylated NAD+ as the substrate to assess PARP activity. Following optimization of the assay, it was used to assess in vitro and in vivo efficacy of known and novel PARP inhibitors. The assay also was used to assess PARP activity in male and female gonad-intact and ovariectomized rats. RESULTS Using 3H-NAD+ as the substrate, PARP activity was greater (p<0.01) in tissue from KA-lesioned vs. non-lesioned rats. Using biotinylated NAD+ it was revealed that PARP activity was present ipsilateral to the KA injection site, and labeling was blocked by incubation with excess unlabeled NAD+ or PARP inhibitors. The PARP inhibitor, 3-aminobenzamide and several novel inhibitors reduced (p<0.01) polymerase activity in vitro. Furthermore, the inhibitor MRLSD303 reduced (p<0.001) PARP activity in vivo in both male and female rats. Finally, administration of the novel PARP inhibitor MRLIT115 dose-dependently reduced (p<0.001) polymerase activity in vivo. DISCUSSION The PISA assay provides a direct, quantitative method for assessing PARP activity in vitro and provides critical information on factors underlying in vivo efficacy of chemical inhibitors including brain penetration and target engagement. These findings support use of the PISA assay as a screening tool for testing efficacy of PARP inhibitors in brain.

Abstract
Malaria is one of the most important global health problems, potentially affecting more than one third of the world's population. Cerebral malaria (CM) is a deadly complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. In this review, we discuss some of the principal pathogenic events that have been described in murine models of the disease and relate them to the human condition. One of the earliest events in CM pathogenesis appears to be a mild increase in the permeability to protein of the blood-brain barrier. Recent studies have shown a role for CD8+T cells in mediating damage to the microvascular endothelium and this damage can result in the leakage of cytokines, malaria antigens and other potentially harmful molecules across the blood-brain barrier into the cerebral parenchyma. We suggest that this, in turn, leads to the activation of microglia and the activation and apoptosis of astrocytes. The role of hypoxia in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria is also discussed, with particular reference to the local reduction of oxygen consumption in the brain as a consequence of vascular obstruction, to cytokine-driven changes in glucose metabolism, and to cytopathic hypoxia. Interferon-gamma, a cytokine known to be produced in malaria infection, induces increased expression, by microvascular endothelial cells, of the haem enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, the first enzyme in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. Enhanced indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression leads to increased production of a range of biologically active metabolites that may be part of a tissue protective response. Damage to astrocytes may result in reduced production of the neuroprotectant molecule kynurenic acid, leading to a decrease in its ratio relative to the neuroexcitotoxic molecule quinolinic acid, which might contribute to some of the neurological symptoms of cerebral malaria. Lastly, we discuss the role of other haem enzymes, cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and haem oxygenase-1, as potentially being components of mechanisms that protect host tissue against the effects of cytokine- and leukocyte-mediated stress induced by malaria infection.

Abstract
Excessive activation of non-NMDA receptors, AMPA and kainate, contributes to neuronal degeneration in acute and progressive pathologies, possibly including schizophrenia. Because 5-HT(1A) receptor agonists have neuroprotective properties (e.g., against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity), we compared the effects of the antipsychotics, clozapine, ziprasidone and aripiprazole, that are partial agonists at 5-HT(1A) receptor, with those of haloperidol, which is devoid of 5-HT(1A) agonist properties, on kainic acid (KA)-induced striatal lesion volumes, in C57Bl/6N mice. The involvement of 5-HT(1A) receptors was determined by antagonist studies with WAY100635, and data were compared with those obtained using the potent and high efficacy 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, F13714. Intra-striatal KA lesioning and measurement of lesion volumes using cresyl violet staining were carried out at 48 h after surgery. F13714, antipsychotics or vehicle were administered ip twice, 30 min before and 3 1/2 h after KA injection. WAY100635 (0.63 mg/kg) or vehicle were given sc 30 min before each drug injection. Clozapine (2 x 10 mg/kg), ziprasidone (2 x 20 mg/kg) and aripiprazole (2 x 10 mg/kg) decreased lesion volume by 61%, 59% and 73%, respectively. WAY100635 antagonized the effect of ziprasidone and of aripiprazole but only slightly attenuated that of clozapine. In contrast, haloperidol (2 x 0.16 mg/kg) did not affect KA-induced lesion volume. F13714 dose-dependently decreased lesion volume. The 61% decrease of lesion volume obtained with F13714 (2 x 0.63 mg/kg) was antagonized by WAY100635. WAY100635 alone did not affect lesion volume. These results show that 5-HT(1A) receptor activation protects against KA-induced striatal lesions and indicate that some atypical antipsychotic agents with 5-HT(1A) agonist properties may protect against excitotoxic injury, in vivo.

Abstract
Overactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in response to genotoxic insults can cause cell death by energy deprivation. We previously reported that neurotoxic amounts of kainic acid (KA) injected into the rat striatum produce time-dependent changes in striatal PARP activity in vivo. Here, we have investigated the time-course of KA-induced toxicity and the effects of the PARP inhibitor benzamide on KA, AMPA and NMDA neurotoxicities in vivo, by measuring changes in the volume of the lesion and in NAD+ and ATP levels induced by the intra-striatal injection of these excitotoxins in C57Bl/6N mice. The KA-induced lesion volume was dependent on the amount of toxin injected and the survival time. The lesion was well developed at 48 h and was almost undetectable after one week. KA produced an extensive astrogliosis at one week. Benzamide partially prevented both KA- and NMDA- but not AMPA-induced lesions when measured at 48 h after the treatment. The effects of benzamide appeared to be in part related to changes in energy metabolism, since KA produced decreases in striatal levels of NAD+ and ATP that were partially prevented by benzamide at 48 h and which returned to control levels at one week. NMDA did not affect NAD+ and induced little alteration in ATP levels. Benzamide had no effect on AMPA-induced decreases in either NAD+ or ATP levels at 48 h. These results (1) indicate that PARP overactivation and energy depletion could be responsible in part for the cellular demise during the development of the lesion induced by KA; (2) confirm that PARP is involved in NMDA but not AMPA toxicities; (3) suggest the existence of differences between KA and AMPA-mediated toxicities; and (4) provide further evidence supporting PARP as a novel target for new drug treatments against neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme activated by DNA breaks and serves a role in DNA repair through the formation of polymers (poly(ADP)ribosylation) at sites of DNA damage. PARP-1 is activated by DNA damage in neurons of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex following excessive exposure to glutamate receptor agonists such as NMDA or kainic acid. In addition, recent studies suggest that degradation of PARP-1 occurs in cells that undergo apoptotic versus nonapoptotic forms of cell death. To investigate this process further, we examined the spatiotemporal aspects of excitotoxic injury in the rodent visual cortex by making focal intracerebral injections of kainic acid. These injections resulted in DNA damage, PARP-1 activation, and neuronal cell death over a 5-day period. Rapid neuronal cell injury assessed by Fluoro-Jade staining appeared within hours, but increased TUNEL staining occurred only after 24 h. A dramatic increase in caspase-3 activity, as well as an increase in the number of neurons containing active caspase-3, peaked 2 days after injury. Last, increased PARP-1 immunoreactivity and PARP-1 cleavage reached peak levels 2 to 3 days after delivering the excitotoxin. These findings suggest that increased caspase-3 activity may regulate the degradation of PARP-1 in subsets of cortical neurons during excitotoxic cell death.

Abstract
The full mechanisms underlying neuronal death following excitotoxic insult remain unclear, despite many in vivo and in vitro studies. Recent work has focused on various signaling molecules and pathways, normally strictly regulated, that can trigger death if perturbed. The transcription factor, E2F1 is pivotal in controlling cell death under stress situations. The current study aimed to investigate the role of this transcription factor in modulating neuronal death following kainic acid (KA) treatment of cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells (CGCs). KA-induced death of CGCs was attenuated by the selective KA/AMPA receptor antagonist CNQX, but not MK-801. Such neuronal death was caspase-3-independent and did not activate many known death genes, such as Fas receptor, caspase-8 and p38. However, hyperphosphorylation of Rb showed a transient increase which may lead to activation of E2F1. Indeed E2F1 +/+ and -/- CGCs showed a differential response to KA-mediated toxicity, in that E2F1 -/- neurons were significantly less susceptible to KA compared to E2F1 +/+ neurons, albeit both E2F1 +/+ and -/- neurons expressed similar levels of KA receptors and responded similarly to kainate antagonist, CNQX. Using selective inhibitors to CDKs, such as olomoucine, roscovitine and flavopiridol, and the inhibitor SB203580 to p38 MAPK, we ruled out the possibility that Rb inactivation through hyperphosphorylation was due to either upstream kinases. Therefore activation of Rb/E2F1 pathway appears to involve novel interactions yet to be elucidated.
