Long-term effects of chronic emotional and pain stress on histone H3 phosphorylation by serine 10 in hippocampal CA3 neurons were examined 24 h, 2 weeks, and 2 months after termination of the stress procedure in 2 rat strains differing by excitability of the nervous system. The low excitable rats with high threshold (HT) of excitability were characterized by a high baseline level of histone H3 phosphorylation in comparison with the high excitable rats with low threshold (LT) of excitability. The long-term emotional and pain stress significantly changed the number of positive immune cells in highly excitable rats: this parameter increased in 24 h and 2 weeks after the stress, but returned to the control level in 2 months. In contrast, stress did not affect histone H3 phosphorylation in low excitable rats. Thus, long-term (up to 2 weeks) changes in histone H3 phosphorylation were reveled in rat hippocampal CA3 neurons, which depended on genetically determined functional status of the nervous system.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease associated with dementia and neuronal impairments in brain. AD is characterized histopathologically by two hallmark lesions: abnormally phosphorylated Tau inside neurons as intracellular NFTs and extracellular accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ). Furthermore, it is unable to clarify the distinction between the brief association between the development and build-up of Aβ and the commencement of illness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the activated core kinases involved in the DNA damage responses (DDR) during ferroptosis of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro and their regulatory effects on ferroptosis.

Methods: Ferroptosis was induced by erastin in induced RPE (iRPE) cells derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), hUCMSCs, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (iPSC-RPE) cells. CCK8 was employed to measure the cell viability.

Cytotoxic DNAs, methylation, histones and histones binding proteins are speculated to induce DNA sensors. Under stressed condition, the antigenic patterns, PAMPs and DAMPs, trigger the hyperactive innate response through DNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, oligonucleotides, histones and mtDNA to initiate cGAMP-STING-IFN I cascade. HSV -1&2, HIV, Varicella- Zoster virus, Polyomavirus, Cytomegalovirus, and KSHV negatively regulate the STING-MAVS-TBK-1/1KKE pathway.
