{"title":"Progesterone may be a regulator and B12 could be an indicator of the proximal D4Z4 repeat methylation status on 4q35ter","authors":"Ceren Hangul,&nbsp;Filiz Ozcan,&nbsp;Sule Darbas,&nbsp;Hilmi Uysal,&nbsp;Ayse Filiz Koc,&nbsp;Sibel Berker Karauzum","doi":"10.1111/jnc.16196","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jnc.16196","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) has a hypomethylation-related epigenetic background and exhibits a different course in male and female patients. The differences between males and females have been linked to the levels of sex hormones. This study is the first to investigate the possible effect of these hormones on methylation status. We hypothesized that the levels of sex-related hormones, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin might be associated with the methylation status of the proximal part of the D4Z4. We also investigated the effect of fT3, folic acid, and vitamin B12 levels. We collected blood from 28 FSHD patients and 28 controls. DNA was extracted from each individual for bisulfite methylation analysis and serum was separated for biochemical analysis of estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, fT3, folic acid, and B12 analysis. Methylation analysis was specified to the DR1, 5P regions and the proximal region covering both DR1 and 5P. Methylation levels were compared between FSHD patients and controls. The correlation of methylation levels with estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, fT3, folic acid, and B12 was investigated. We found that the 5P region and the proximal region were significantly hypomethylated in FSHD patients compared to the controls, but not the DR1 region. Male patients exhibited a significant reduction in DNA methylation compared to male controls. Older FSHD patients exhibited a notable decrease in fT3 levels and hypomethylation of the 5P region. Analyses of each CpG revealed seven hypomethylated positions that were significantly different from the control group. Two of the positions demonstrated a correlation with progesterone in the control group. With the exception of one position, the methylation levels were inversely correlated with vitamin B12 in FSHD patients. The results of our study indicate that the methylation of the proximal D4Z4 region, particularly at specific positions, may be associated with progesterone. In addition, vitamin B12 may be an indicator of hypomethylation. We suggest that examining position-specific methylations may be a useful approach for the development of epigenetic treatment modalities.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":16527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnc.16196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141893615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite not being a core diagnostic feature, some aetiological theories place atypical attention at the centre of autism development. Drugs used to treat attention dysfunction are therefore increasingly prescribed to autistic patients, though currently off-label with uncertain efficacy. We utilised a rodent-translated touchscreen test of sustained attention in mice carrying an autism-associated R451C mutation in the neuroligin-3 gene (<i>Nlgn3</i>^R451C). In doing so, we replicated their cautious but accurate response profile and probed it using two widely prescribed attention-modulating drugs: methylphenidate (MPH) and atomoxetine (ATO). In wild-type mice, acute administration of MPH (3 mg/kg) promoted impulsive responding at the expense of accuracy, while ATO (3 mg/kg) broadly reduced impulsive responding. These drug effects were absent in <i>Nlgn3</i>^R451C mice, other than a small reduction in blank touches to the screen following ATO administration. The absence of drug effects in <i>Nlgn3</i>^R451C mice likely arises from their altered behavioural baseline and underlying neurobiology, highlighting caveats to the use of classic attention-modulating drugs across disorders and autism subsets. It further suggests that altered dopaminergic and/or norepinephrinergic systems may drive behavioural differences in the <i>Nlgn3</i>^R451C mouse model of autism, supporting further targeted investigation.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":16527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141875135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to hypothalamic orexin, other brain nuclei are involved in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Quite a lot of studies focus on elucidating orexin-induced regulation of sleep–wake states and modulation of neuronal electrophysiological properties in several brain regions. Here, we summarize that the orexinergic neurons exhibit spontaneous firing activity which is associated with the states of sleep–wake cycle. Orexin mainly exerts postsynaptic excitatory effects on multiple brain nuclei associated with the process of sleep and wakefulness.

Surface clustering of vesicular proteins has been proposed to act as a ‘pre-assembly’ mechanism for endocytosis that ensures high-fidelity retrieval of SV cargo. Here, we used single-molecule imaging to examine the nanoclustering of synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) and synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in hippocampal neurons. Syt1 forms surface nanoclusters through the interaction of its C2B domain with SV2A, which are sensitive to mutations in this domain (Syt1^K326A/K328A) and SV2A knockdown. SV2A co-clustering with Syt1 is reduced by blocking SV2A's cognate interaction with Syt1 (SV2A^T84A). Surprisingly, impairing SV2A-Syt1 nanoclustering enhanced the plasma membrane recruitment of key endocytic protein dynamin-1, causing accelerated Syt1 endocytosis, altered intracellular sorting and decreased trafficking of Syt1 to Rab5-positive endocytic compartments. Therefore, SV2A and Syt1 are segregated from the endocytic machinery in surface nanoclusters, limiting dynamin recruitment and negatively regulating Syt1 entry into recycling SVs.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":16527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnc.16186","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141875138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation is recommended in preterm infants to lower the risk of ROP, however, with no significant improvement in visual acuity. Reasonably, this could be as a result of the non-consideration of PUFA metabolizing enzymes. We hypothesize that abnormal metabolism of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway may contribute to severe stages of ROP. The present study investigated the AA-metabolizing enzymes in ROP pathogenesis by a targeted gene expression analysis of blood (severe ROP = 70, No/Mild = 56), placenta (preterm placenta = 6, full term placenta = 3), and human primary retinal cell cultures and further confirmed at the protein level by performing IHC in sections of ROP retina. The lipid metabolites were identified by LC–MS in the vitreous humor (VH; severe ROP = 15, control = 15). Prostaglandins D2 (<i>p</i> = 0.02), leukotrienes B5 (<i>p</i> = 0.0001), 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (<i>p</i> = 0.01), and lipid-metabolizing enzymes of the AA pathway such as <i>CYP1B1</i>, <i>CYP2C8</i>, <i>COX2</i>, and <i>ALOX15</i> were significantly upregulated while <i>EPHX2</i> was significantly (0.04) downregulated in ROP cases. Genes involved in hypoxic stress, angiogenesis, and apoptosis showed increased expression in ROP. An increase in the metabolic intermediates generated from the AA metabolism pathway further confirmed the role of these enzymes in ROP, while metabolites for <i>EPHX2</i> activity were low in abundance. Inflammatory lipid intermediates were higher compared to anti-inflammatory lipids in VH and showed an association with enzyme activity. Both the placenta of preterm infants who developed ROP and hypoxic retinal cultures showed a reduced expression of <i>EPHX2</i>. These findings suggested a strong involvement of <i>EPHX2</i> in regulating retinal neovascularization and inflammation. The study results underscore the role of arachidonic acid metabolism in the development of ROP and as a potential target for preventing vision loss among preterm-born infants.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":16527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141788406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The homeostatic iron regulatory gene (HFE) has been at the forefront of these studies given the role of the H63D variant (H67D in mice) in increasing brain iron load. Despite iron's role in oxidative stress production, H67D mice have shown robust protection against neurotoxins and improved recovery from intracerebral hemorrhage. Previous data support the notion that H67D mice adapt to the increased brain iron concentrations and hence develop a neuroprotective environment. This adaptation is particularly evident in the lumbar spinal cord (LSC) and ventral midbrain (VM), both relevant to neurodegeneration. We studied C57BL6/129 mice with homozygous H67D compared to WT HFE. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze dopaminergic (in the VM) and motor (in the LSC) neuron population maturation in the first 3 months. Immunoblotting was used to measure protein carbonyl content and the expression of oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Seahorse assay was used to analyze metabolism of mitochondria isolated from the LSC and VM. Finally, a Nanostring transcriptomic analysis of genes relevant to neurodegeneration within these regions was performed. Compared to WT mice, we found no difference in the viability of motor neurons in the LSC, but the dopaminergic neurons in H67D mice experienced significant decline before 3 months of age. Both regions in H67D mice had alterations in oxidative phosphorylation complex expression indicative of stress adaptation. Mitochondria from both regions of H67D mice demonstrated metabolic differences compared to WT. Transcriptional differences in these regions of H67D mice were related to cell structure and adhesion as well as cell signaling. Overall, we found that the LSC and VM undergo significant and distinct metabolic and transcriptional changes in adaptation to iron-related stress induced by the H67D HFE gene variant.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":16527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnc.16171","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141788405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was achieved through a scoping review methodology identifying several key regions of supraspinal pain circuitry where glycine signaling is involved.

The identical leucine-to-proline (L16P) amino acid substitution in PMP22 is carried by the Trembler J (TrJ) mouse and is found in CMT1E patients presenting with early-onset disease. Peripheral nerves of patients diagnosed with CMT1E display a complex and varied histopathology, including Schwann cell hyperproliferation, abnormally thin myelin, axonal degeneration, and subaxonal morphological changes. Here, we have taken an unbiased data-independent analysis (DIA) mass spectrometry (MS) approach to quantify proteins from nerves of 3-week-old, age and genetic strain-matched wild-type (Wt) and heterozygous TrJ mice. Nerve proteins were dissolved in lysis buffer and digested into peptide fragments, and protein groups were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS). A linear model determined statistically significant differences between the study groups, and proteins with an adjusted p-value of less than 0.05 were deemed significant. This untargeted proteomics approach identified 3759 quality-controlled protein groups, of which 884 demonstrated differential expression between the two genotypes. Gene ontology (GO) terms related to myelin and myelin maintenance confirm published data while revealing a previously undetected prominent decrease in peripheral myelin protein 2. The dataset corroborates the described pathophysiology of TrJ nerves, including elevated activity in the proteasome-lysosomal pathways, alterations in protein trafficking, and an increase in three macrophage-associated proteins. Previously unrecognized perturbations in RNA processing pathways and GO terms were also discovered. Proteomic abnormalities that overlap with other human neurological disorders besides CMT include Lafora Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Overall, this study confirms and extends current knowledge on the cellular pathophysiology in TrJ neuropathic nerves and provides novel insights for future examinations.
