[PMID: 38836002 PMCID: PMC11148868 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1307319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Migraines affect one billion individuals globally, with a higher occurrence among young adults and women. A significant survey in the United States indicated that 17.1% of women and 5.6% of men suffer from migraines. This study seeks to investigate the potential connection between NLRP3 and MMP9 in migraine pathology. Methods The research involved searching databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Proquest, with the search concluding on March 31, 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, PICO data were collected, focusing exclusively on animal models induced by Nitroglycerine (10 mg/kg), while excluding clinical studies. Results The study, originally registered in Prospero Reg. No. CRD42022355893, conducted bias analysis using SYRCLE's RoB tool and evaluated author consensus using GraphPad v9.5.1. Out of 7,359 search results, 22 papers met the inclusion criteria. Inter-rater reliability among reviewers was assessed using Cohen's kappa statistics. Conclusion This review summarizes 22 preclinical studies on Nitroglycerin (NTG), NLRP3, MMP9, and related biomarkers in migraine. They reveal that NTG, especially at 10 mg/kg, consistently induces migraine-like symptoms in rodents by activating NLRP3 inflammasome and stimulating proinflammatory molecule production.

Abstract
Cancer, a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled cell development, kills millions of people globally. The WHO reported over 10 million cancer deaths in 2020. Anticancer medications destroy healthy and malignant cells. Cancer treatment induces neuropathy. Anticancer drugs cause harm to spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nerve somatosensory neurons, causing chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. The chemotherapy-induced mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain are not fully understood. However, neuroinflammation has been identified as one of the various pathways associated with the onset of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. The neuroinflammatory processes may exhibit varying characteristics based on the specific type of anticancer treatment delivered. Neuroinflammatory characteristics have been observed in the spinal cord, where microglia and astrocytes have a significant impact on the development of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The patient's quality of life might be affected by sensory deprivation, loss of consciousness, paralysis, and severe disability. High cancer rates and ineffective treatments are associated with this disease. Recently, histone deacetylases have become a novel treatment target for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain may be treated with histone deacetylase inhibitors. Histone deacetylase inhibitors may be a promising therapeutic treatment for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. Common chemotherapeutic drugs, mechanisms, therapeutic treatments for neuropathic pain, and histone deacetylase and its inhibitors in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain are covered in this paper. We propose that histone deacetylase inhibitors may treat several aspects of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, and identifying these inhibitors as potentially unique treatments is crucial to the development of various chemotherapeutic combination treatments.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are essential components of all eukaryotic membranes. The bioactive sphingolipid molecule, Sphingosine 1-Phosphate (S1P), regulates various important biological functions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of S1P signaling pathway in various immune cell functions under different pathophysiological conditions including bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and cancer. We covered the aspects of S1P pathways in NOD/TLR pathways, bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and tumor immunology. This implies that targeting S1P signaling can be used as a strategy to block these pathologies. Our current understanding of targeting various components of S1P signaling for therapeutic purposes and the present status of S1P pathway inhibitors or modulators in disease conditions where the host immune system plays a pivotal role is the primary focus of this review.

Abstract
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as well as the leading cause of mortality in patients. Previous studies revealed that S1P level is elevated in plasma samples of SLE patients and murine lupus models. FTY720, targeting S1P receptors, exhibited therapeutic effects in improving the nephritis symptoms of lupus mouse models. However, few studies have discussed the potential relevance of S1P/S1PR to the pathogenesis of LN. Macrophages have been shown to be an important causative agent of renal inflammation, while the pro-inflammatory M1-type promotes kidney injury and inflammation during LN. Importantly, macrophages express various S1P receptors, and how they respond to S1P in the setting of LN remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the level of S1P in the lupus MRL/lpr mice and explored the ensuing interaction of macrophages and S1P. We found that S1P level was elevated in the MRL/lpr mice with a subsequent enhancement of the S1PR1 expression, and blocking S1PR1 by FTY720, the nephritis symptoms of MRL/lpr mice were improved. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that elevated S1P level increase the M1-type macrophage accumulation. And the in-vitro studies proved that S1P/S1PR1 was involved in the promotion of macrophage polarization towards M1 type through activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings confer a novel role to macrophage S1PR1 and provide a new perspective for targeting S1P during LN.

Abstract
Sphingolipids, which are components of cellular membranes and organ tissues, can be synthesized or degraded to modulate cellular responses according to environmental cues, and the balance among the different sphingolipids is important for directing immune responses, regardless of whether they originate, as intra- or extracellular immune events. Recent progress in multiomics-based analyses and methodological approaches has revealed that human health and diseases are closely related to the homeostasis of sphingolipid metabolism, and disease-specific alterations in sphingolipids and related enzymes can be prognostic markers of human disease progression. Accumulating human clinical data from genome-wide association studies and preclinical data from disease models provide support for the notion that sphingolipids are the missing pieces that supplement our understanding of immune responses and diseases in which the functions of the involved proteins and nucleotides have been established. In this review, we analyze sphingolipid-related enzymes and reported human diseases to understand the important roles of sphingolipid metabolism. We discuss the defects and alterations in sphingolipid metabolism in human disease, along with functional roles in immune cells. We also introduce several methodological approaches and provide summaries of research on sphingolipid modulators in this review that should be helpful in studying the roles of sphingolipids in preclinical studies for the investigation of experimental and molecular medicines.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid mediator that exerts a variety of biological functions, including immune, cardiovascular, and neurological regulation as well as tumor promotion, through high-affinity G protein-coupled receptors (S1P1-5). It has been reported that circulating S1P levels remain higher in patients with psoriasis than in healthy individuals and that circulating S1P levels do not decrease after anti-TNF-α treatment in those patients. The S1P-S1PR signaling system plays an important role in inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation, regulating lymphocyte migration, and promoting angiogenesis, thus contributing to the regulation of psoriasis pathogenesis. Here, we review the mechanisms by which S1P-S1PR signaling affects the development of psoriasis and the available clinical/preclinical evidence for targeting S1P-S1PR in psoriasis. S1P-S1PR signaling mechanisms may partially explain the link between psoriasis and its comorbidities. Although the detailed mechanisms remain to be elucidated, S1P may be a new target for future psoriasis remission.

Nuclear SPHK2/S1P induces oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation via promoting p53 acetylation in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. Cell Death Dis 2023; 9:12. [PMID: 36653338 PMCID: PMC9847446 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01320-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
A bulk of evidence identified that macrophages, including resident alveolar macrophages and recruited macrophages from the blood, played an important role in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the molecular mechanisms of macrophages-induced acute lung injury (ALI) by facilitating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses remain unclear. Herein, we noticed that the levels of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), SPHK2 and activated NLRP3 inflammasome were higher in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of ARDS patients than that in healthy volunteers. Similar observations were recapitulated in LPS-treated RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells. After exposure to LPS, the SPHK2 enzymatic activity, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mtROS were significantly upregulated in macrophages. Moreover, knockdown SPHK2 via shRNA or inhibition SPHK2 could prominently decrease LPS-induced M1 macrophage polarization, oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Further study indicated that upregulated SPHK2 could increase nuclear sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels and then restrict the enzyme activity of HDACs to facilitate p53 acetylation. Acetylation of p53 reinforced its binding to the specific region of the NLRP3 promoter and drove expression of NLRP3. In the in vivo experiments, it was also observed that treating with Opaganib (ABC294640), a specific SPHK2 inhibitor, could observably alleviate LPS-induced ALI, evidencing by lowered infiltration of inflammatory cells, increased M2 macrophages polarization and reduced oxidative damage in lung tissues. Besides, SPHK2 inhibition can also decrease the accumulation of acetylated p53 protein and the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Taken together, our results demonstrated for the first time that nuclear S1P can regulate the acetylation levels of non-histone protein through affecting HDACs enzyme activities, linking them to oxidative stress and inflammation in response to environmental signals. These data provide a theoretical basis that SPHK2 may be an effective therapeutic target of ARDS.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a complex, chronic, immunologically mediated disease which involves skin and joints. Psoriasis is commonly connected with numerous other diseases such as liver diseases, metabolic syndrome, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease. Interestingly, comorbidities of psoriasis are an attention-grabbing issue. Additionally, it can cause impairment of quality of life and may be associated with depressive disorders. Altered levels of ceramides in psoriatic skin may lead to anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative states, consequently leading to an over-proliferation of keratinocytes and the development of skin lesions. The pathophysiology of psoriasis and its comorbidities is not fully understood yet. Sphingolipids (including ceramides) and their disturbed metabolism may be the link between psoriasis and its comorbidities. Overall, the goal of this review was to discuss the role of sphingolipid disturbances in psoriasis and its comorbidities. We searched the PubMed database for relevant articles published before the beginning of May 2022. The systematic review included 65 eligible original articles.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by sustained inflammation and progressive fibrosis, is highly prevalent and can eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease. However, current treatments to slow CKD progression are limited. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a product of sphingolipid catabolism, is a pleiotropic mediator involved in many cellular functions, and drugs targeting S1P signaling have previously been studied particularly for autoimmune diseases. The primary mechanism of most of these drugs is functional antagonism of S1P receptor-1 (S1P1) expressed on lymphocytes and the resultant immunosuppressive effect. Here, we documented the role of local S1P signaling in perivascular cells in the progression of kidney fibrosis using primary kidney perivascular cells and several conditional mouse models. S1P was predominantly produced by sphingosine kinase 2 in kidney perivascular cells and exported via spinster homolog 2 (Spns2). It bound to S1P1 expressed in perivascular cells to enhance production of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines upon injury, leading to immune cell infiltration and subsequent fibrosis. A small-molecule Spns2 inhibitor blocked S1P transport, resulting in suppression of inflammatory signaling in human and mouse kidney perivascular cells in vitro and amelioration of kidney fibrosis in mice. Our study provides insight into the regulation of inflammation and fibrosis by S1P and demonstrates the potential of Spns2 inhibition as a treatment for CKD and potentially other inflammatory and fibrotic diseases that avoids the adverse events associated with systemic modulation of S1P receptors.

Abstract
Background Proximal region of chromosome 15 long arm is rich in duplicons that, define five breakpoints (BP) for 15q rearrangements. 15q11.2 microdeletion has been previously associated with developmental delay, mental retardation, epilepsy, autism, schizophrenia and congenital heart defects. The literature on this microdeletion is extensive and confusing, which is a challenge for genetic counselling. Case presentation We have performed prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling of a paternally inherited 15q11.2 microdeletion. In this family, father with normal phenotype and fetus with abnormal phenotype have the same microdeletion. Conclusion Chromosomal microdeletions and microduplications are difficult to detect by conventional cytogenetics, combination of prenatal ultrasound, karyotype analysis, CMA and genetic counseling is helpful for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal microdeletions/microduplications.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by scaly indurated erythema. This disease impairs patients’ quality of life enormously. Pathological findings demonstrate proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes and massive infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is complicated. Among immune cells, dendritic cells play a pivotal role in the development of psoriasis in both the initiation and the maintenance phases. In addition, it has been indicated that macrophages contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis especially in the initiation phase, although studies on macrophages are limited. In this article, we review the roles of dendritic cells and macrophages in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is a key factor for various inflammatory diseases. Here, we provide experimental evidence supporting the regulatory role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), along with the S1P receptor subtype involved and underlying regulatory mechanisms. During the priming stage, S1P induced NLRP3 upregulation in BMDMs only when primed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this event, S1P2, but not S1P1, was involved based on the attenuated NLRP3 upregulation with JTE013 (S1P2 antagonist) or S1P2 knockdown. During the activation stage, S1P induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in LPS-primed BMDMs via caspase-1 activation, interleukin 1β maturation, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) speck formation, and IL-1β secretion. Such NLRP3 inflammasome activation was blocked by either pharmacological inhibition or genetic knockdown of S1P2. NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and ERK1/2 were identified as effector pathways underlying S1P/S1P2 signaling in the regulation of NLRP3 upregulation in LPS-primed BMDMs. Further, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was dependent on the S1P/S1P2 signaling axis in these cells, and the ROS generated regulate NLRP3 inflammasome activation, but not NLRP3 priming. Collectively, our findings suggest that S1P promotes NLRP3 upregulation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in LPS-primed BMDMs via S1P2 and subsequent effector pathways.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathies are characterized by nerves damage and axonal loss, and they could be classified in hereditary or acquired forms. Acquired peripheral neuropathies are associated with several causes, including toxic agent exposure, among which the antineoplastic compounds are responsible for the so called Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). Several clinical features are related to the use of anticancer drugs which exert their action by affecting different mechanisms and structures of the peripheral nervous system: the axons (axonopathy) or the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons cell body (neuronopathy/ganglionopathy). In addition, antineoplastic treatments may affect the blood brain barrier integrity, leading to cognitive impairment that may be severe and long-lasting. CIPN may affect patient quality of life leading to modification or discontinuation of the anticancer therapy. Although the mechanisms of the damage are not completely understood, several hypotheses have been proposed, among which neuroinflammation is now emerging to be relevant in CIPN pathophysiology. In this review, we consider different aspects of neuro-immune interactions in several CIPN preclinical studies which suggest a critical connection between chemotherapeutic agents and neurotoxicity. The features of the neuroinflammatory processes may be different depending on the type of drug (platinum derivatives, taxanes, vinca alkaloids and proteasome inhibitors). In particular, recent studies have demonstrated an involvement of the immune response (both innate and adaptive) and the stimulation and secretion of mediators (cytokines and chemokines) that may be responsible for the painful symptoms, whereas glial cells such as satellite and Schwann cells might contribute to the maintenance of the neuroinflammatory process in DRG and axons respectively. Moreover, neuroinflammatory components have also been shown in the spinal cord with microglia and astrocytes playing an important role in CIPN development. Taking together, better understanding of these aspects would permit the development of possible strategies in order to improve the management of CIPN.
