1 Introduction

Microglia are resident immune cells in the brain and playa pivotal role in immune surveillance They are activated indiverse neurological diseases including encephalitis strokeParkinsonrsquos disease and Alzheimerrsquos disease resulting in thesubsequent inflammatory cascade [1] It is undisputable thatinflammation is beneficial for homeostasis restoration andtissue repair by means of clearing pathogens and harmfulcell components However excessive inflammation causesdamage to brain tissues and exacerbates the initial insultTherefore the magnitude of microglia activation must betightly controlled to avoid the collateral tissue damage andto regulate the progression of neurological diseases [2 3]

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are conserved metallo-proteases which aim to remove acetyl groups from lysineresidues of targeted proteins In accordance with their struc-tural diversity HDACs are divided into four subtypes Class I(HDAC1 HDAC2 HDAC3 andHDAC8) Class II consistingof IIa (HDAC4 HDAC5 HDAC7 and HDAC9) and IIb(HDAC6 and HDAC10) Class III (a family of sirtuins) andClass IV (HDAC11) [4] Together with histone acetylases(HATs) HDACs regulate acetylation level of histones (H3H2AK5 H4K5 H4K12 H2B H4K8 and H4K16) as well assome other proteins (p65 and myocyte enhancer factor 2)[5] Recently several studies proposed that HDAC inhibitorsare involved in modulating innate immune activity [6 7] andcould be potentially applied in various human diseases [8]

However previous used broad-spectrum HDAC inhibi-tors target several HDACs and it is difficult to define exactrole of each subtype Additionally clinical trials with pan-HDACi in cancer patients suffered undesired effects includ-ing increased susceptibility to pneumonia thrombocytope-nia anorexia [9] Thus it is necessary to focus on the specificHDAC inhibitor

HDAC3 is themost widely expressedHDACs in the brain[10] and is thought to play a role in Huntington [4] SCA [11]and dementia diseases [12] HDAC3-deficient macrophagespossessed decreased ability to activate inflammatory geneexpression in response to LPS stimulation [13] Concomi-tantly HDAC3 was found to be an epigenomic brake inmacrophage alternative activation [14] while inflammationrepressive repertoire of HDAC3 in primary microglia islargely unknown RGFP966 is a selective HDAC3 inhibitorwith an IC50 of 008120583M and no effective inhibition of otherHDACs at concentrations up to 15 120583M and could cross brainblood barrier when administrated peripherally [15] Pharma-cological inhibition of HDAC3 may bring more evidencesand prosperities for clinical applications This insight nowgives us the opportunity to study possible inflammatoryconsequences of HDAC3 in central nervous system

In this issue we used protein mass spectrometry toprofile global molecular alterations in primary microgliaexposed toRGFP966 exploring a potential signaling pathwaythroughwhichHDAC3 specific inhibitor RGFP966 regulatedinflammation

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

HDAC3 is themost widely expressedHDACs in the brain[10] and is thought to play a role in Huntington [4] SCA [11]and dementia diseases [12] HDAC3-deficient macrophagespossessed decreased ability to activate inflammatory geneexpression in response to LPS stimulation [13] Concomi-tantly HDAC3 was found to be an epigenomic brake inmacrophage alternative activation [14] while inflammationrepressive repertoire of HDAC3 in primary microglia islargely unknown RGFP966 is a selective HDAC3 inhibitorwith an IC50 of 008120583M and no effective inhibition of otherHDACs at concentrations up to 15 120583M and could cross brainblood barrier when administrated peripherally [15] Pharma-cological inhibition of HDAC3 may bring more evidencesand prosperities for clinical applications This insight nowgives us the opportunity to study possible inflammatoryconsequences of HDAC3 in central nervous system

In this issue we used protein mass spectrometry toprofile global molecular alterations in primary microgliaexposed toRGFP966 exploring a potential signaling pathwaythroughwhichHDAC3 specific inhibitor RGFP966 regulatedinflammation

2 Materials and Methods

21 Primary Microglia Culture and Treatment Primarymicroglia cells were prepared from C57BL6 mice bornwithin 24 hours as previously described Briefly cerebralcortex tissue was digested in TrypLE for 10 minutes at 37∘CThen Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) (Hyclone USA)supplemented with 10 fetal bovine serum (FBS) (BiologicalIndustries Israel) 100UmL penicillin and 100 ugmL strep-tomycinwas used to terminate digestionAfterwards the cellswere centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5minutes resuspended andseeded in the 75 cm2 flasks After 36ndash48 hours the culturemedia were replaced by Dulbeccorsquos Modified Eagle Media(DMEM) (HycloneUSA)with 10FBS 100UmLpenicillinand 100 ugmL streptomycin At day 11ndash13 microglia cellswere suspended and obtained by shaking the flasks at 180 rpmfor 10min at 37∘C The mature microglia cells were seededinto plates at a density of 2 times 105cm2 and placed for 36ndash48 hours before further treatment RGFP966 (Selleckchem)was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make 55mMstock solution In purified enzyme assays inhibition IC50values of RGFP966 for HDAC1 HDAC2 and HDAC3 weregt15 120583Mgt15 120583M and 008 120583M[15 16] Primarymicroglia cellswere pretreated with DMSO or RGFP966 at a concentrationof 15 120583M for an hour Then LPS (Sigma-Aldrich USA) wasadded to the culture media at a dose of 500 ngmL Proteins

mRNA and supernatant were collected for proteomic anal-ysis western blotting CBA and Q-PCR at indicated timepoints

22 Proteomic Analysis Proteomic analysis was performedby AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 mass spectrometer (ABSCIEX USA) equipped with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) system Proteins(200120583g) of four samples were resolved on 10 SDS polyacry-lamide gels The gels were stained with Coomassie Blue G-250 for 1 hour and then cut into blocks after distaining inultrapure H

2O The gel blocks were digested using trypsin

and peptides were extracted from them After being driedand redissolved the peptides were analyzedThemass spectrawere annotated against the Uniprot proteome databaseBy means of the Software DAVID coupled with STRING(version 100) the Gene Ontology analysis KEGG pathwayanalysis and protein-protein interactions were completed

23 Real-Time PCR As described previously Trizol reagent(InvitrogenUSA)was used for the total RNA extraction frommicroglia cells and then RNA was reverse-transcribed intocDNA with a PrimeScript RT reagent Kit (Takara DalianChina) The quantitative measurements were performed onan ABI 7500 PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems USA)with a SYBR green Kit (Takara Dalian China) Relative geneexpressions were normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase (GAPDH) and mRNA expression levels werepresented as fold changes versus DMSO group The primers(Invitrogen) used are as follows

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

combating microglia activation and inflammatory responsein neurological diseases

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

functional microglia activation We first stained primarycultured microglia with CD1632 as shown in Figure 8(a)microglia demonstrated bipolar shape in intact status whilein LPS stimulation group microglia enlarged and grew lotsof branches The fluorescence intensity of CD1632 was sig-nificantly decreased in LPS + RGFP966-treated group (Fig-ure 8(c)) We then detected classical inflammatory cytokinesin the supernatants of cultured cells exposed to LPS for 1 h2 h 3 h 8 h 12 h and 24 h with or without RGFP966 Weobserved profound inhibition of IL-6 (Figure 8(d)) (24 h15230 plusmn 5213 pgmL in RGFP966 + LPS versus 25538 plusmn8741 pgmL in DMSO + LPS 119901 = 0012) and TNF-120572(Figure 8(e)) (12 h 5189 plusmn 1613 pgmL in RGFP966 + LPSversus 17241 plusmn 4716 pgmL in DMSO + LPS 119901 lt 000124 h 7332 plusmn 2436 pgmL in RGFP966 + LPS versus 20977 plusmn1091 pgmL in DMSO + LPS 119901 lt 0001) secretion byRGFP966 Additionally STAT3 and STAT5 were two funda-mental signaling pathways governing inflammatory responsein various neurological diseases [17] In order to found out themechanism responsible for its anti-inflammatory responses

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

combating microglia activation and inflammatory responsein neurological diseases

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

TLRs are a family of type I transmembrane recep-tors which share the multiple leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)domains in the extracellular space and the similar cytosolicdomains of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors [19] TLRsare considered to recognize the distinct pathogen-associatedmolecular patterns (PAMPs) and endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which then drivea cascade of inflammatory signaling and converge at tran-scription factors nuclear factor-120581B (NF-120581B) [20] MAPK[21 22] and JAKSTAT pathways [23] In addition to TLR236 TLR coreceptorCD36 and regulatory protein SYKwereall decreased by RGFP966 Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) anonreceptor tyrosine kinase is typically regarded as a vital

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

we detected phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and STAT5As shown in Figure 8(b) phosphorylation of STAT3 andSTAT5 increased 2 h after LPS treatment and declined quickly4 h after LPS RGFP966 inhibited not only phosphorylationof STAT3 and STAT5 but also decreased STAT5 expressionlevel whichmay partially contribute to its anti-inflammatoryresponse

4 Discussion

In summary we analyzed the differentially expressed proteinsof LPS-stimulated primary microglia with the treatmentof RGFP966 by proteomics A total of 168 LPS-inducedproteins were significantly reduced by RGFP966 in thisstudy The altered proteins mainly concentrated on thefollowing categories Toll-like receptor signaling pathwayAlzheimerrsquos disease cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway andfunctioned in cellular process immune system process andorganelle For Alzheimerrsquos disease preliminary evidencesdemonstrated inhibition of HDAC3 enzyme in neurons

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic

regulator in adaptive immunity [24] It consists of two tandemSH2 domains and a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain SH2domains selectively bind to the phosphorylated immunore-ceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of immunereceptors such as MyD88 TRAF6 and TRIF transmittinginitiative signals to downstream pathways SYK is found to befundamental for Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and theinhibition of SYK suppresses the release of proinflammatorycytokines [25 26] In this study we detected alterations ofSYK in protein level but not mRNA level We surmisedthat posttranscriptional modification may also contributeto HDAC3rsquos functions Preliminary evidences demonstratethat HDAC family played a role in protein degradation[27] while inadequate time points of mRNA detection couldalso be an explanation for this discrepancy CD36 is a TLRcoreceptor playing a pivotal role in inflammatory responsesinitiated by TLRs [28] Previous researches reported thatCD36 contributed to the recognition of diacylglycerol ligandsby forming CD36-CD14-TLR2-TLR6 complex thus it con-trolled gram-positive bacterial infectionWhat ismore CD36was found to be involved in the formation of TLR4-TLR6heterodimers which induced the production of proinflam-matory cytokines nitric oxide and reactive oxygen speciesin response to endogenous ligands [29] Overall RGFP966demonstrated profound inhibitory effects on TLR signalingpathway and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6 andTNF-120572

HDAC inhibitors have been reported to interfere withthe activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinasesSTAT1 AP-1 or NF-120581B signal transduction pathways [30

31] Here we observed transient STAT3 and STAT5 acti-vation at 2 hours after LPS stimulation which was aheadof the alteration of IL-6 and TNF-120572 Exposed to inflam-matory stimulation STAT35 was phosphorylated by JAKsleading to transcriptional activation Activation of STATselicited the expression of acute-phase proteins as well asa number of cytokines and chemokines including IL-6and TNF-120572 [17] Our study was in keeping with previousstudy inHDAC3 knockoutmacrophage which demonstratedthat HDAC3 knockout impaired STAT1STAT3STAT5 path-ways [13] Figure 9 presented a diagram showing theprotein and protein interactions among proteins Brieflyinitial change of STAT3STAT5 or NF-120581B [5] caused byHDAC3i may further elicit later alterations of TLR sig-naling pathway and proinflammatory cytokines includingIL-6 and TNF-120572 The underlying mechanism for HDAC3in the regulation of STAT3STAT5 is unknown Some evi-dences from Pan-HDAC inhibitors indicated that promoter-associated histone acetylation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 caused byHDACi may further downregulated JAK2STAT3 signaling[32]

In conclusions we identified TLR signaling pathwaymicroglia activation and STAT35 pathway which wereinhibited by RGFP966 Identification of these changes mayprovide valuable clues for the future applications of selectiveHDAC3 inhibitor in the clinic
