    Abstract Cellular identity, developmental reorganization, genomic structure modulation, and susceptibility to diseases are determined by epigenomic regulation by multiple signaling interplay. Here we demonstrate that elovanoids (ELVs), mediators derived from very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs, n-3, C > 28), and their precursors in neurons in culture overcome the damage triggered by oligomeric amyloid-beta (OAβ), erastin (ferroptosis-dependent cell death), or other insults that target epigenomic signaling. We uncover that ELVs counteract damage targeting histones H3K9 and H3K27 methylation and acetylation; tau hyperphosphorylation (pThr181, pThr217, pThr231, and pSer202/pThr205 (AT8)); senescence gene programming (p16INK4a, p27KIP, p21CIP1, and p53); DNA methylation (DNAm) modifying enzymes: TET (DNA hydroxymethylase), DNA methyltransferase, DNA demethylase, and DNAm (5mC) phenotype. Moreover, ELVs revert OAβ-triggered telomere length (TL) attrition as well as upregulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression fostering dendrite protection and neuronal survival. Thus, ELVs modulate epigenomic resiliency by pleiotropic interrelated signaling.

    Abstract The onset of neurodegenerations and nervous system injury both trigger cell signaling perturbations that lead to damage of neuronal circuits and synapic connections, as well as protective signaling that aims to halt disease onset. Here we review recent findings that support the role of the docosanoid mediator neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) as an early response or sentinel during the initial phase of nervous system damage. NPD1 is derived from docosahexaenoic acid that is selectively concentrated and retained in the nervous system. The protein misfolding triggers the biosynthesis of NPD1 which in turn downregulates pathways that lead to cell death and changes the outcome to cell survival. Proteotoxic stress as a result of protein misfolding is a widespread event in many neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, mechanisms and mediators such as NPD1 that curtail consequences of these events are of interest as leads in the search for novel preventive and or therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Palmitic, linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids were used as substrates to study fatty acid activation in the mouse brain and liver during postnatal development. Long-chain acyl coenzyme A synthetase showed peak activity during the period of rapid oligodendroglial proliferation and myelination. In brain, activation of linoleic and arachidonic acids was highest, followed by palmitic and docosahexaenoic acids. In liver, no appreciable change in enzyme activity was seen during the period of development studied. Palmitic and arachidonic acids showed the highest rate of activation, followed by docosahexaenoic acid. These ontogenic data suggest the presence of a single long-chain acyl coenzyme A synthetase in brain.

    Abstract Discharge prescriptions for heart failure (HF) patients may not adhere to the clinical practice guidelines. This study aimed to assess the impact of the clinical pharmacist as a member of a multidisciplinary team on the quality of prescribing to HF patients at discharge from a Critical Care Unit (CCU) in Egypt. This was a retrospective cohort study of HF patients discharged from the CCU between January 2013 and December 2017. Guideline Adherence Index (GAI-3) was used to assess guideline-directed prescribing at discharge. Multidisciplinary care was introduced to the CCU on 1 January 2016. The study included 284 HF patients, mean (±SD) age 66.7 ± 11.5 years, 53.2% male. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction affected 100 patients (35.2%). At discharge, loop diuretics were prescribed to 85.2% of patients; mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to 54.9%; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers to 51.4%; and β-blockers to 29.9%. Population Guideline Adherence Index (GAI-3) was 45.5%. High-GAI was prescribed to 136 patients (47.9%). Patients with High-GAI were younger; less affected by chronic kidney disease and had fewer comorbidities than those without High-GAI. Prescription of β-blocker increased (24.1% vs. 38.6%,

    Abstract The safe and effective management of pain is a critical healthcare and societal need. The potential for misuse and addiction associated with opioids, nephrotoxicity, and gastrointestinal damage from chronic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, as well as acute liver injury from paracetamol (ApAP) overdose, are unresolved challenges. To address them, we developed a non-opioid and non-hepatotoxic small molecule, SRP-001. Compared to ApAP, SRP-001 is not hepatotoxic as it does not produce N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone-imine (NAPQI) and maintains hepatic tight junction integrity at high doses. SRP-001 has comparable analgesia in pain models, including the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) inflammatory von Frey. Both induce analgesia via N-arachidonoylphenolamine (AM404) formation in the midbrain periaqueductal grey (PAG) nociception area, with SRP-001 generating higher amounts of AM404 than ApAP. Single-cell transcriptomics of PAG uncovered that SRP-001 and ApAP also share modulation of pain-related gene expression and cell signaling pathways, including the endocannabinoid, mechanical nociception, and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) pathways. Both regulate the expression of key genes encoding FAAH, 2-AG, CNR1, CNR2, TRPV4, and voltage-gated Ca2+ channel. Interim Phase 1 trial results demonstrate SRP-001's safety, tolerability, and favorable pharmacokinetics (NCT05484414). Given its non-hepatotoxicity and clinically validated analgesic mechanisms, SRP-001 offers a promising alternative to ApAP, NSAIDs, and opioids for safer pain treatment.
