    Abstract Carbamathione (Carb), an NMDA glutamate receptor partial antagonist, has potent neuroprotective functions against hypoxia- or ischemia-induced neuronal injury in cell- or animal-based stroke models. We used PC-12 cell cultures as a cell-based model and bilateral carotid artery occlusion (BCAO) for stroke. Whole-cell patch clamp recording in the mouse retinal ganglion cells was performed. Key proteins involved in apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and heat shock proteins were analyzed using immunoblotting. Carb is effective in protecting PC12 cells against glutamate- or hypoxia-induced cell injury. Electrophysiological results show that Carb attenuates NMDA-mediated glutamate currents in the retinal ganglion cells, which results in activation of the AKT signaling pathway and increased expression of pro-cell survival biomarkers, e.g., Hsp 27, P-AKT, and Bcl2 and decreased expression of pro-cell death markers, e.g., Beclin 1, Bax, and Cleaved caspase 3, and ER stress markers, e.g., CHOP, IRE1, XBP1, ATF 4, and eIF2α. Using the BCAO animal stroke model, we found that Carb reduced the brain infarct volume and decreased levels of ER stress markers, GRP 78, CHOP, and at the behavioral level, e.g., a decrease in asymmetric turns and an increase in locomotor activity. These findings for Carb provide promising and rational strategies for stroke therapy.

    Abstract The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Division of Applied Regulatory Science (DARS) moves new science into the drug review process and addresses emergent regulatory and public health questions for the Agency. By forming interdisciplinary teams, DARS conducts mission-critical research to provide answers to scientific questions and solutions to regulatory challenges. Staffed by experts across the translational research spectrum, DARS forms synergies by pulling together scientists and experts from diverse backgrounds to collaborate in tackling some of the most complex challenges facing FDA. This includes (but is not limited to) assessing the systemic absorption of sunscreens, evaluating whether certain drugs can convert to carcinogens in people, studying drug interactions with opioids, optimizing opioid antagonist dosing in community settings, removing barriers to biosimilar and generic drug development, and advancing therapeutic development for rare diseases. FDA tasks DARS with wide ranging issues that encompass regulatory science; DARS, in turn, helps the Agency solve these challenges. The impact of DARS research is felt by patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and fellow regulators. This article reviews applied research projects and initiatives led by DARS and conducts a deeper dive into select examples illustrating the impactful work of the Division.

    Abstract Oxidative damage is believed to play a major role in the etiology of many age-related diseases and the normal aging process. We previously reported that sulindac, a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor and FDA approved anti-inflammatory drug, has chemoprotective activity in cells and intact organs by initiating a pharmacological preconditioning response, similar to ischemic preconditioning (IPC). The mechanism is independent of its COX inhibitory activity as suggested by studies on the protection of the heart against oxidative damage from ischemia/reperfusion and retinal pigmented endothelial (RPE) cells against chemical oxidative and UV damage

    Abstract New findings: What is the topic of this review? Although the mammalian brain is exquisitely sensitive to hypoxia, some turtles survive complete anoxia by decreasing metabolic demand to match reduced energy supply. These animal models may help to elucidate neuroprotective mechanisms and reveal novel therapeutic targets for diseases of oxygen deprivation. What advances does it highlight? The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are part of the suite of adaptive responses to anoxia that are modulated by adenosine, a 'retaliatory metabolite' released in early anoxia. In anoxic turtle neurons, upregulation of pro-survival Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and suppression of the p38MAPK and JNK pathways promote cell survival, as does the anoxic- and post-anoxic upregulation of the antioxidant methionine sulfoxide reductase. Mammalian neurons undergo rapid degeneration when oxygen supply is curtailed. Neuroprotective pathways are induced during hypoxia/ischaemia, but their analysis is complicated by concurrent pathological events. Survival mechanisms can be investigated in anoxia-tolerant freshwater turtle species, which survive oxygen deprivation and post-anoxic reoxygenation by entrance into a state of reversible hypometabolism. Many energy-demanding processes are suppressed, including ion flux and neurotransmitter release, whereas cellular protective mechanisms, including certain mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), are upregulated. This superfamily of serine/threonine kinases plays a significant role in vital cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, stress adaptation and apoptosis in response to external stimuli. Here, we report that neuronal survival relies on robust co-ordination between the major signalling cascades, with upregulation of the pro-survival Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and suppression of the p38MAPK and JNK pathways. Other protective responses, including the upregulation of heat shock proteins and antioxidants, allow the turtle brain to abrogate potential oxidative stress upon reoxygenation.

    Abstract In order to adapt to low oxygen it is necessary first to be able to detect hypoxia, then to initiate the appropriate defense mechanisms. There are two basic detectors: molecular sensors that are directly linked to gene regulation and metabolic indicators that are triggered when the cell goes into a state of energy imbalance. The molecular responses to oxygen deprivation are characterized in a variety of cell types and include activation of oxygen sensors, signaling through specific promoter elements and subsequent downstream adaptations. Many of the components are highly conserved across species. In the brain, the most hypoxic vulnerable of all vertebrate tissues, low oxygen quickly results in a fall in ATP and a consequent increase in adenosine. Both changes act as metabolic indicators of cellular energy crisis and effect mechanisms to reduce metabolic demand. Important lessons on the potential scope of such mechanisms can be provided by the anoxic tolerant turtle brain. Anoxia provokes an early release of adenosine which mediates channel arrest, causes a reduction in K(+) efflux and Ca(2+) influx, and inhibits excitatory neurotransmitter release. There is a differential expression between normoxic and anoxic turtle brains of transcripts encoding the immediate early gene products c-fos and c-jun, the HSP-70 and the apoptosis regulators bcl-2 and bax.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of mortality, disability, and long-term care burden in the United States, with women comprising the majority of AD diagnoses. While AD-related dementia is associated with tau and amyloid beta accumulation, concurrent derangements in cerebral blood flow have been observed alongside these proteinopathies in humans and rodent models. The homeostatic production of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) becomes uncoupled in AD which leads to decreased NO-mediated vasodilation and oxidative stress via the production of peroxynitrite (ONOO-∙) superoxide species. Here, we investigate the role of the novel protein arginine methyltransferase 4 (PRMT4) enzyme function and its downstream product asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) as it relates to NOS dysregulation and cerebral blood flow in AD. ADMA (type-1 PRMT product) has been shown to bind NOS as a noncanonic ligand causing enzymatic dysfunction. Our results from RT-qPCR and protein analyses suggest that aged (9-12 months) female mice bearing tau- and amyloid beta-producing transgenic mutations (3xTg-AD) express higher levels of PRMT4 in the hippocampus when compared to age- and sex-matched C57BL6/J mice. In addition, we performed studies to quantify the expression and activity of different NOS isoforms. Furthermore, laser speckle contrast imaging analysis was indicative that 3xTg-AD mice have dysfunctional NOS activity, resulting in reduced production of NO metabolites, enhanced production of free-radical ONOO-, and decreased cerebral blood flow. Notably, the aforementioned phenomena can be reversed via pharmacologic PRMT4 inhibition. Together, these findings implicate the potential importance of PRMT4 signaling in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's-related cerebrovascular derangement.
