Inhibition of HDAC6 alleviating lipopolysaccharide-induced p38MAPK phosphorylation and neuroinflammation in mice

Abstract

Context: Researchers in a variety of fields have extensively focused on histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) due to its aggravation of inflammatory reaction. However, relevant studies examining whether HDAC6 could exacerbate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation are still lacking. Objective: We assessed the role of HDAC6 in LPS-induced brain inflammation and used the HDAC6selective inhibitor Tubastatin A (TBSA) to investigate the potential mechanisms further. Materials and methods: Brain inflammation was induced in Kunming (KM) mice via intraperitoneal (I.P.), injection of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 mg/kg), the TBSA (0.5 mg/kg) was delivered via intraperitoneal. The phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and expression of typical inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in both the hippocampus and cortex, were examined by immunoblotting. Nissl staining was used to detect the neuronal damage in the hippocampus and the cortex. Results: About 1 mg/kg LPS via daily intraperitoneal (I.P.) injections for 12 days significantly increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation, TNF-a and IL-6 expression, and neuronal loss. However, 0.5 mg/kg TBSA (three days before LPS treatment) by I.P. injections for 15 days could reverse the above results. Conclusions: This present study provided evidence that TBSA significantly suppressed LPS-induced neuroinflammation and the expression of p-p38. Results derived from our study might help reveal the effective targeting strategies of LPS-induced brain inflammation through inhibiting HDAC6. ARTICLE HISTORY

Alleviation of depression-like behavior in a cystic fibrosis mouse model by Hdac6 depletion

“…Several studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory benefits of HDAC6 inhibition, with two specifically looking at neuronal inflammation. Song et al demonstrate that HDAC6 inhibition prevents inflammation including neuroinflammation in LPS treated mice through a p38-dependent pathway 39 . Tseng et al show the efficacy of Hdac6 depletion in reducing Tau-mediated neuroinflammation 40 .…”

The role of cigarette smoke-induced epigenetic alterations in inflammation

“…Studies on HDAC6 that is activated by CS [42] have shown a positive relationship between HDAC6 and inflammatory response. It has been shown that HDAC6 inhibition confers protective effects against LPS-induced inflammation, as is demonstrated by the reduced production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF - α , IL - 1β , and IL - 6 and decreased leukocyte infiltration [137, 138]. Zhang et al [139] found that You-Gui pills (You-Gui-Wan; YGW) reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL - 4 , IL - 5 , and IL - 13 , by increasing the corresponding activity of HDAC7 , HDAC710 , HDAC11 , and HDAC9 – 11 , suggesting that HDAC7 - and HDAC9 – 11 -induced histone deacetylation of memory T lymphocytes has a protective role against lung inflammation and eosinophilic infiltration.…”

“…In addition, inhibition of the HDAC6 gene could attenuate TNF-and IL-6 expressions via MAPK/ NF-B pathways as suggested in in vivo and in vitro studies (Song et al, 2019;Youn et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2019). UfCPs-induced TNF-and IL-6 expressions are also regulated by both NF-B activation and MAPKs (ERK1/2, p38, and JNK1/2) signaling pathways (Drumm et al, 1998;Totlandsdal et al, 2010).…”
