Abstract
Heart diseases are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The underlying mechanisms and pathological changes associated with cardiac diseases are exceptionally complex. Highly active cardiomyocytes require sufficient energy metabolism to maintain their function. Under physiological conditions, the choice of fuel is a delicate process that depends on the whole body and organs to support the normal function of heart tissues. However, disordered cardiac metabolism has been discovered to play a key role in many forms of heart diseases, including ischemic heart disease, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and cardiac injury induced by diabetes or sepsis. Regulation of cardiac metabolism has recently emerged as a novel approach to treat heart diseases. However, little is known about cardiac energy metabolic regulators. Histone deacetylases (HDACs), a class of epigenetic regulatory enzymes, are involved in the pathogenesis of heart diseases, as reported in previous studies. Notably, the effects of HDACs on cardiac energy metabolism are gradually being explored. Our knowledge in this respect would facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for heart diseases. The present review is based on the synthesis of our current knowledge concerning the role of HDAC regulation in cardiac energy metabolism in heart diseases. In addition, the role of HDACs in different models is discussed through the examples of myocardial ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and diabetes- or sepsis-induced cardiac injury. Finally, we discuss the application of HDAC inhibitors in heart diseases and further prospects, thus providing insights into new treatment possibilities for different heart diseases.

Abstract
Epigenetics regulates gene expression and has been confirmed to play a critical role in a variety of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoporosis, gout, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and others. The term 'epigenetics' was firstly proposed in 1942 and with the development of technologies, the exploration of epigenetics has made great progresses. There are four main epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodelling, and noncoding RNA (ncRNA), which exert different effects on metabolic diseases. Genetic and non-genetic factors, including ageing, diet, and exercise, interact with epigenetics and jointly affect the formation of a phenotype. Understanding epigenetics could be applied to diagnosing and treating metabolic diseases in the clinic, including epigenetic biomarkers, epigenetic drugs, and epigenetic editing. In this review, we introduce the brief history of epigenetics as well as the milestone events since the proposal of the term 'epigenetics'. Moreover, we summarise the research methods of epigenetics and introduce four main general mechanisms of epigenetic modulation. Furthermore, we summarise epigenetic mechanisms in metabolic diseases and introduce the interaction between epigenetics and genetic or non-genetic factors. Finally, we introduce the clinical trials and applications of epigenetics in metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Brown and beige adipose tissues regulate body energy expenditure through adaptive thermogenesis, which converts energy into heat by oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling. Although promoting adaptive thermogenesis has been demonstrated to be a prospective strategy for obesity control, there are few methods for increasing adipose tissue thermogenesis in a safe and effective way. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a category of epigenetic modifying enzymes that catalyzes deacetylation on both histone and non-histone proteins. Recent studies illustrated that HDACs play an important role in adipose tissue thermogenesis through modulating gene transcription and chromatin structure as well as cellular signals transduction in both deacetylation dependent or independent manners. Given that different classes and subtypes of HDACs show diversity in the mechanisms of adaptive thermogenesis regulation, we systematically summarized the effects of different HDACs on adaptive thermogenesis and their underlying mechanisms in this review. We also emphasized the differences among HDACs in thermogenesis regulation, which will help to find new efficient anti-obesity drugs targeting specific HDAC subtypes.

[PMID: 35606908 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often associated with muscle atrophy. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not well understood. Here, we treated 5/6-nephrectomized (5/6Nx) rats with resveratrol and found that this treatment greatly improves renal function as evidenced by reduced proteinuria and cystatin C. Moreover, resveratrol ameliorates renal fibrosis by reducing transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). Meanwhile, muscle atrophy in these 5/6Nx rats was largely attenuated by resveratrol. Immunoprecipitation revealed that SIRT1 physically interacts with FoxO1 in muscle, and this interaction was weakened in 5/6Nx rats. As a consequence, acetylated FoxO1 was increased in muscle of 5/6Nx rats. The application of resveratrol markedly reverses this trend. These data point out that SIRT1 is a key factor for linking renal disease and muscle atrophy. Indeed, both renal dysfunction and muscle atrophy were further aggravated by 5/6Nx in Sirt1+/- mice. Taken together, our data indicate that SIRT1 plays a pivotal role in muscle atrophy in CKD, and FoxO1 might be a substrate of SIRT1 in this process. Furthermore, resveratrol, together with other agonists of SIRT1, may hold great therapeutic potentials for treating CKD and its related muscle atrophy.

LPS-induced lipid alterations in microglia revealed by MALDI mass spectrometry-based cell fingerprinting in neuroinflammation studies. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2908.

Abstract
Pathological microglia activation can promote neuroinflammation in many neurodegenerative diseases, and it has therefore emerged as a potential therapeutic target. Increasing evidence suggests alterations in lipid metabolism as modulators and indicators in microglia activation and its effector functions. Yet, how lipid dynamics in activated microglia is affected by inflammatory stimuli demands additional investigation to allow development of more effective therapies. Here, we report an extensive matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) whole cell fingerprinting workflow to investigate inflammation-associated lipid patterns in SIM-A9 microglial cells. By combining a platform of three synergistic MALDI MS technologies we could detect substantial differences in lipid profiles of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- stimulated and unstimulated microglia-like cells leading to the identification of 21 potential inflammation-associated lipid markers. LPS-induced lipids in SIM-A9 microglial cells include phosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylcholines (LysoPC), sphingolipids, diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols. Moreover, MALDI MS-based cell lipid fingerprinting of LPS-stimulated SIM-A9 microglial cells pre-treated with the non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid revealed specific modulation of LPS-induced-glycerolipids and LysoPC(18:0) with a significant reduction of microglial inflammation response. Our study introduces MALDI MS as a complementary technology for fast and label-free investigation of stimulus-dependent changes in lipid patterns and their modulation by pharmaceutical agents.

The Potential to Fight Obesity with Adipogenesis Modulating Compounds. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042299.

Abstract
Obesity is an increasingly severe public health problem, which brings huge social and economic burdens. Increased body adiposity in obesity is not only tightly associated with type 2 diabetes, but also significantly increases the risks of other chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver diseases and cancers. Adipogenesis describes the process of the differentiation and maturation of adipocytes, which accumulate in distributed adipose tissue at various sites in the body. The major functions of white adipocytes are to store energy as fat during periods when energy intake exceeds expenditure and to mobilize this stored fuel when energy expenditure exceeds intake. Brown/beige adipocytes contribute to non-shivering thermogenesis upon cold exposure and adrenergic stimulation, and thereby promote energy consumption. The imbalance of energy intake and expenditure causes obesity. Recent interest in epigenetics and signaling pathways has utilized small molecule tools aimed at modifying obesity-specific gene expression. In this review, we discuss compounds with adipogenesis-related signaling pathways and epigenetic modulating properties that have been identified as potential therapeutic agents which cast some light on the future treatment of obesity.
