Article Abstract

Intervertebral discs (IVDs) are rhythmic tissues that experience daily low-load recovery. Notably, aging and abnormal mechanical stress predispose IVDs to degeneration due to dysrhythmia-induced disordered metabolism. Meanwhile, Rev-erbα acts as a transcriptional repressor in maintaining biorhythms and homeostasis; however, its function in IVD homeostasis and degeneration remains unclear. This study assessed the relationship between low Rev-erbα expression levels and IVD degeneration. Rev-erbα deficiency accelerated needle puncture or aging-induced IVD degeneration, characterized by increased extracellular matrix (ECM) catabolism and nucleus pulposus (NP) cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, Rev-erbα knockdown in NP cells aggravated rhIL1β-induced NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, exacerbating the imbalanced ECM and NP cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation mitigated Rev-erbα deficiency and needle puncture-induced IVD degeneration. Particularly, Rev-erbα mediated the transcriptional repression of the NLRP3 inflammasome via the ligand heme-binding of nuclear receptor co-repressor (NCoR) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) complex. Thus, the increased expression of Rev-erbα in NP cells following short-term rhIL1β treatment failed to inhibit NLRP3 transcription in vitro owing to heme depletion. Pharmacological activation of Rev-erbα in vivo and in vitro alleviated IVD degeneration by altering the NLRP3 inflammasome. Taken together, targeting Rev-erbα may be a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating IVD degeneration and its related diseases.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Delayed tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis, which has a restrictive therapeutic time window within 4.5 h following ischemic stroke (IS), increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and subsequent neurotoxicity. Studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome activation reversely regulated by the PGC-1α leads to microglial polarization and pyroptosis to cause damage to nerve cells and the blood-brain barrier.

Through bioinformatics screening, we previously found that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) expression, an mA demethylase, was higher in patients with heart failure than in the normal population. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which ALKBH5 regulates heart failure. We established a myocardial infarction (MI)-induced heart failure model in rats in vivo and an in vitro hypoxia model using rat primary cardiac fibroblasts (RCFs).

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), is one of the leading causes of low back pain. Inflammation is considered to be the main pathophysiological process of IVDD. The nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses are critically involved in the progression of IVDD.

HDAC10 switches NLRP3 modification from acetylation to ubiquitination and attenuates acute inflammatory diseases.

Background: The NOD-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome is at the signaling hub center to instigate inflammation in response to pathogen infection or oxidative stress, and its tight control is pivotal for immune defense against infection while avoiding parallel intensive inflammatory tissue injury. Acetylation of NLRP3 is critical for the full activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, while the precise regulation of the acetylation and deacetylation circuit of NLRP3 protein remained to be fully understood.

Methods: The interaction between histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) and NLRP3 was detected by immunoprecipitation and western blot in the HDAC10 and NLRP3 overexpressing cells.
