Herein, we found that CuCl<sub>2</sub> (300 μM in SH-SY5Y cells or 100 μM in cortical neurons) determined apoptotic cell death, that was counteracted by the class IV HDs inhibitor Mocetinostat (MOCE) and by the HAT-p300 inhibitor C646, but not by the class I and II HDs inhibitors. Interestingly, HD11 and HAT-p300 protein levels increased after both 12 and 24 h of CuCl<sub>2</sub> exposure and their silencing partially limited CuCl<sub>2</sub>-neurodetrimental effect. Furthermore, in CuCl<sub>2</sub>-treated cells the transcriptional factor Sp4 co-localized with HD11 on the promoter of anti-apoptotic gene BCL-W, determining histone H3 hypo-acetylation, a marker of gene repression. Contrarily, Sp1 co-localized with HAT-p300 on the pro-apoptotic gene BAX, determining histone H4 hyper-acetylation, a hallmark of transcriptional activation. In addition, siRNA against Sp4 prevented HD11 binding on BCL-W promoter and its consequent down-regulation, whereas Sp1 knocking-down, by reducing HAT-p300 interaction on BAX gene promoter counteracted its up-regulation. Importantly, while the single knocking-down of Sp1, Sp4, HD11 and HAT-p300 partially mitigated CuCl<sub>2</sub>-induced cell death, the double-transfection of siRNAs for Sp1 and Sp4, or for HD11 and HAT-p300, completely reverted the neurotoxic effect of CuCl<sub>2</sub>.

Inflammatory pain was induced in eight-week-old Sprague Dawley rats using complete Freund adjuvant (CFA), while controls received saline.

Mechanical nociception was assessed weekly using the Von Frey test. Dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens core were measured through microdialysis during the final 1.5 months of ethanol exposure in the second cohort. Due to experimental limitations animals underwent microdialysis at different time points after alcohol was firstly introduced, this was done in a balanced manner by alternating sex and group. After a month of alcohol exposure, rats showed no differences in alcohol consumption. However, from the second month until the end, rats exhibited a non-sex-dependent decrease in alcohol intake, significantly lower in CFA-animals.

Moreover, low mechanical nociception was maintained until the end of the experiment in CFA-animal.

However, in particular, the mechanism of the effect of inhalation aromatherapy on the olfactory mucosa (OM) of the nasal cavity at the peripheral level, the first step in olfactory detection, where olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) relay information to brain for signal processing, remains unclear. Here, we examined the roles of inhalation aromatherapy with compound essential oils derived from Bergamot, Peppermint and Rosa rugose on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression and explored potential therapeutic targets in the peripheral OM. We found that inhalation aromatherapy effectively ameliorated CUMS-induced depression and olfactory dysfunction in rats. Strikingly, inhalation aromatherapy improved pathological changes, significantly reduced apoptosis levels, and promoted olfactory neurogenesis in the OM, which may contribute to the beneficial effects on the olfactory function of depressed rats. Further, inhalation aromatherapy significantly may reverse inflammation levels in the OM through Sirt1/FKBP5/GR/NF-κB signaling pathway, and prevented neuroinflammation in other parts of the olfactory system such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which may play a role in the olfactory impairments in rats with depression.

To elucidate this further, we conducted the NOR test combined with pharmacology, chemogenetics, optogenetics, and <em>ex vivo</em> electrophysiology in male C57BL/6J mice. Chemogenetic inhibition of mPFC excitatory neurons suppressed nicotine-induced enhancement of object recognition memory, whereas their activation alone was sufficient to enhance memory.

Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings with optogenetic stimulation revealed that PRH pyramidal neurons received monosynaptic and glutamatergic inputs from the mPFC. Chemogenetic suppression of mPFC neurons projecting to the PRH blocked the nicotine-induced enhancement of object recognition memory, whereas activation of these neurons alone was sufficient to enhance memory. To achieve precise temporal control, optogenetic inhibition of the mPFC-PRH pathway during the training session blocked the effects of nicotine, and its activation alone enhanced memory. Furthermore, unilateral intra-mPFC nicotine infusion enhanced object recognition memory, and this effect was suppressed by ipsilateral intra-PRH infusion of an α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist.

Esketamine, a commonly used anesthetic, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects by restoring gut microbiome dysbiosis. In this study, we investigated the impact of esketamine on nociceptive sensitivity in a mouse model of CIPN and explored the potential involvement of the gut microbiome. In mice treated with oxaliplatin, repeated esketamine doses (in contrast to a single dose) significantly improved the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). Western blot and qPCR analyses further revealed that repeated esketamine administration markedly reduced microglial activation and neuroinflammation in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), underscoring its potent anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, fecal 16S rRNA analysis indicated that esketamine partially restored the abnormal gut microbiota composition (β-diversity). Plasma metabolome analysis showed that repeated esketamine treatment significantly lowered the elevated levels of 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline and restored the reduced levels of (3-exo)-3-[3-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane observed in oxaliplatin-treated mice. In addition, fecal microbiota transplantation from esketamine-treated CIPN mice notably improved both the diminished PWT and DRG neuroinflammation in oxaliplatin-treated mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that repeated esketamine administration may alleviate mechanical allodynia in CIPN mice by modulating neuroinflammation, gut microbiota, and associated metabolites.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":398,"journal":{"name":"Neurochemistry international","volume":"185 ","pages":"Article 105961"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143584167","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}
