    Abstract Objectives: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in RA pathogenesis. However, specific lncRNAs that regulate gene expression in RA pathogenesis are poorly known. This study was undertaken to characterize a novel lncRNA (lnc-RNU12) that has a lower-than-normal expression level in RA patients.
    Methods: We performed initial genome-wide lncRNA microarray screening in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 28 RA cases and 18 controls. Multiple methods were used to validate the detected associations between lncRNAs and RA. Furthermore, we identified the source and characteristics of the highlighted lncRNAs, detected the target genes, and determined the functional effect on immune cells through lncRNA knock-down in Jurkat T cell lines.
    Results: lnc-RNU12 was downregulated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and T cell subtypes of RA patients and was genetically associated with RA risk. lnc-RNU12 mediates the effect of microbiome alterations on RA risk. Activation of T cells caused low expression of lnc-RNU12. Knock-down of lnc-RNU12 in Jurkat T cells caused cell cycle S-phase arrest and altered the expression of protein-coding genes related to the cell cycle and apoptosis (e.g. c-JUN, CCNL2, CDK6, MYC, RNF40, PKM, VPS35, DNAJB6 and FLCN). Finally, c-JUN and CCNL2 were identified as target genes of lnc-RNU12 at the mRNA and protein expression levels. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays verified the interaction between lnc-RNU12 and the two proteins (c-Jun and cyclin L2) in Jurkat cells.
    Conclusions: Our study suggested that lnc-RNU12 was involved in the pathogenesis of RA by influencing the T cell cycle by targeting c-JUN and CCNL2.

    Abstract Sevoflurane is one of the most widely used anesthetics with recent concerns rising about its pediatric application. The synaptic toxicity and mechanisms underlying its long-term cognition impairment remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression and roles of homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2), a stress activating kinase involved in neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity, and its downstream c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Jun signaling in the long-term toxicity of neonatal Sevoflurane exposure. Our data showed that neonatal Sevoflurane exposure results in impairment of memory, enhancement of anxiety, less number of excitatory synapses and lower levels of synaptic proteins in the hippocampus of adult rats without significant changes of hippocampal neuron numbers. Up-regulation of HIPK2 and JNK/c-Jun was observed in hippocampal granular neurons shortly after Sevoflurane exposure and persisted to adult. 5-((6-Oxo-5-(6-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-1,6-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione trifluoroacetate, antagonist of HIPK2, could significantly rescue the cognition impairment, decrease in long-term potentiation, reduction in spine density and activation of JNK/c-Jun induced by Sevoflurane. JNK antagonist SP600125 partially restored synapse development and cognitive function without affecting the expression of HIPK2. These data, in together, revealed a novel role of HIPK2-JNK/c-Jun signaling in the long-term synaptic toxicity and cognition impairment of neonatal Sevoflurane exposure, indicating HIPK2-JNK/c-Jun cascade as a potential target for reducing the synaptic toxicity of Sevoflurane.

    Abstract As the most abundant marine carotenoid extracted from seaweeds, fucoxanthin is considered to have neuroprotective activity via its excellent antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress is regarded as an important starting factor for neuronal cell loss and necrosis, is one of the causes of Parkinson's disease (PD), and is considered to be the cause of adverse reactions caused by the current PD commonly used treatment drug levodopa (l-DA). Supplementation with antioxidants early in PD can effectively prevent neurodegeneration and inhibit apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons. At present, the effect of fucoxanthin in improving the adverse effects triggered by long-term l-DA administration in PD patients is unclear. In the present study, we found that fucoxanthin can reduce cytotoxicity and suppress the high concentration of l-DA (200 μM)-mediated cell apoptosis in the 6-OHDA-induced PC12 cells through improving the reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential, suppressing ROS over-expression, and inhibiting active of ERK/JNK-c-Jun system and expression of caspase-3 protein. These results were demonstrated by PD mice with long-term administration of l-DA showing enhanced motor ability after intervention with fucoxanthin. Our data indicate that fucoxanthin may prove useful in the treatment of PD patients with long-term l-DA administration.

    Abstract During the development of the sympathetic nervous system, signals from tropomyosin-related kinase receptors (Trks) and p75 neurotrophin receptors (p75) compete to regulate survival and connectivity. During this process, nerve growth factor (NGF)- TrkA signaling in axons communicates NGF-mediated trophic responses in signaling endosomes. Whether axonal p75 signaling contributes to neuronal death and how signaling endosomes contribute to p75 signaling has not been established. Using compartmentalized sympathetic neuronal cultures (CSCGs) as a model, we observed that the addition of BDNF to axons increased the transport of p75 and induced death of sympathetic neurons in a dynein-dependent manner. In cell bodies, internalization of p75 required the activity of JNK, a downstream kinase mediating p75 death signaling in neurons. Additionally, the activity of Rab5, the key GTPase regulating early endosomes, was required for p75 death signaling. In axons, JNK and Rab5 were required for retrograde transport and death signaling mediated by axonal BDNF-p75 in CSCGs. JNK was also required for the proper axonal transport of p75-positive endosomes. Thus, our findings provide evidence that the activation of JNK by p75 in cell bodies and axons is required for internalization to a Rab5-positive signaling endosome and the further propagation of p75-dependent neuronal death signals.

    Abstract Microglia are the primary immune cells of the CNS, contributing to both inflammatory damage and tissue repair in neurological disorder. In addition, emerging evidence highlights the role of homeostatic microglia in regulating neuronal activity, interacting with synapses, tuning neural circuits, and modulating behaviors. Herein, we review how microglia sense and regulate neuronal activity through synaptic interactions, thereby directly engaging with neural networks and behaviors. We discuss current studies utilizing microglial optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches to modulate adult neural circuits. These manipulations of microglia across different CNS regions lead to diverse behavioral consequences. We propose that spatial heterogeneity of microglia-neuron interaction lays the groundwork for understanding diverse functions of microglia in neural circuits and behaviors.

    Abstract Microglia actively survey the brain and dynamically interact with neurons to maintain brain homeostasis. Microglial Gi-protein coupled receptors (Gi-GPCRs) play a critical role in microglia-neuron communications. However, the impact of temporally activating microglial Gi signaling on microglial dynamics and neuronal activity in the homeostatic brain remains largely unknown. In this study, we employed Gi-based Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (Gi-DREADD) to selectively and temporally modulate microglial Gi signaling pathway.
