Neuroprotection by 4R-cembranoid against Gulf War Illness-related chemicals is mediated by ERK, PI3K, and CaMKII pathways.
Gulf War Illness (GWI) has been consistently linked to exposure to pyridostigmine (PB), N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), permethrin (PER), and traces of sarin. In this study, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP, sarin surrogate) and the GWI-related chemicals were found to reduce the number of functionally active neurons in rat hippocampal slices. These findings confirm a link between GWI neurotoxicants and N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA)-mediated excitotoxicity, which was successfully reversed by Edelfosine (a phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ3) inhibitor) and Flupirtine (a KCNQ/M (Kv7) channel agonist). To test whether 4R-cembranoid (4R), a nicotinic α7 acetylcholinesterase receptor (α7AChR) modulator known for its neuroprotective properties, can restore hippocampal neurons from glutamate-induced neurotoxicity, we exposed rat hippocampal slices with DFP for 10 min followed by 60 min treatment with 4R. We investigated the 4R mechanisms of neuroprotection after preincubation with LY294002, PD98059, and KN-62. The inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1/2), and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) abrogated the protective effect of 4R against DFP-induced neurotoxicity. In separate experiments, after incubation with DFP, followed by 4R for 1 hr., cellular extracts were prepared for Western blotting of phospho-Akt, phospho-GSK3β, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, CaMKII and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Our results show that DFP induces neuronal dysfunction by dephosphorylation, while 4R restores the phosphorylation of Akt, GSK3, ERK1/2, CREB, and CaMKII. Moreover, our proteomics analysis supported the notion that 4R activates additional signaling pathways related to enhancing neuronal signaling, synaptic plasticity, and apoptotic inhibition to promote cell survival against DFP, offering biomarkers for developing treatment against GWI.
期刊介绍:
Neuropharmacology publishes high quality, original research and review articles within the discipline of neuroscience, especially articles with a neuropharmacological component. However, papers within any area of neuroscience will be considered. The journal does not usually accept clinical research, although preclinical neuropharmacological studies in humans may be considered. The journal only considers submissions in which the chemical structures and compositions of experimental agents are readily available in the literature or disclosed by the authors in the submitted manuscript. Only in exceptional circumstances will natural products be considered, and then only if the preparation is well defined by scientific means. Neuropharmacology publishes articles of any length (original research and reviews).
