BackgroundIn aviation and aerospace missions, personnel and astronauts are subjected to brief episodes of +Gz acceleration, resulting in overload stress that adversely affects the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. This mechanical stress disrupts hemodynamic balance, tissue oxygenation, and physiological homeostasis. Increasing evidence links this stressor to hepatic injury; as the primary organ for drug metabolism, liver dysfunction may alter the expression and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes and the pharmacokinetic profiles of circadian rhythm-regulating medications, such as modafinil. This study systematically evaluates the effects of repeated brief + Gz exposure on hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes and modafinil pharmacokinetics using a murine model.MethodsA mouse model was established using a 7-day continuous +15 Gz exposure regimen. The anti-fatigue effect of modafinil under + Gz and sleep deprivation conditions was assessed using the Morris water maze. Modafinil plasma concentration was analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to determine pharmacokinetic parameters. Transcriptomic sequencing, RT-qPCR, Western blot, and enzyme activity assays were employed to comprehensively evaluate the expression of hepatic drug metabolism-related genes and the expression/activity of the key enzyme Cyp3a11.Results+Gz exposure impaired spatial learning and memory in mice, showing a synergistic negative effect with 24-h sleep deprivation. Modafinil intervention significantly ameliorated these cognitive deficits, indicating retained anti-fatigue efficacy under acceleration stress. +Gz exposure induced mild hepatic dysfunction (elevated ALT/AST). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a reduced peak plasma concentration (Cmax), along with significantly prolonged mean residence time (MRT) and elimination half-life (t1/2z) of modafinil in the +Gz group, characterizing a pattern of “delayed absorption-impaired clearance”. Transcriptomic analysis showed that + Gz exposure significantly downregulated the transporter Slc17a9 and Ugt2b37, while upregulating Slc25a34/Slc25a47, Abcg5/Abcg8, and the metabolizing enzymes Cyp2b10 and Cyp2c38. Modafinil partially reversed these alterations. The key finding was that + Gz exposure did not alter the mRNA or protein expression levels of Cyp3a11, the principal enzyme responsible for modafinil metabolism, but significantly suppressed its enzymatic activity.ConclusionBrief repeated + Gz stress reprograms the hepatic drug-metabolizing gene expression profile, potentially affecting the metabolism of various drugs in the unique conditions of aerospace environments. Importantly, it functionally inhibits the activity of the key metabolic enzyme Cyp3a11, without altering its expression, resulting in characteristic changes in modafinil pharmacokinetics.
This study aimed to elucidate the dynamic impact of acute hypobaric hypoxia (HH) on the pharmacokinetics of modafinil (MOD) and its association with liver injury and regulation of the key metabolizing enzyme Cyp3a11. A mouse model combining acute HH (simulating 5000 m) with 24 hours sleep deprivation was established. MOD was administered by gavage. Assessments included the Morris water maze test, high-performance liquid chromatography pharmacokinetic analysis, serum alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase measurement, hepatic H&E staining, and analysis of Cyp3a11 expression via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry assays. HH exacerbated cognitive deficits, which were ameliorated by MOD. It induced biphasic pharmacokinetic alterations: accelerated absorption (higher early plasma concentration) but impeded elimination (increased area under the plasma concentration-time curve, prolonged mean residence time, and decreased apparent clearance). These changes correlated with time-dependent liver responses: after 1 hour HH, alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase transiently decreased with compensatory Cyp3a11 upregulation but no significant histopathological damage; after 24 hours HH, progressive liver injury (inflammation, vacuolation, and necrosis) developed alongside significant suppression of Cyp3a11 expression. While MOD retains cognitive-enhancing efficacy under HH, its pharmacokinetics are markedly altered. The shift from accelerated absorption to delayed elimination is closely associated with HH-induced biphasic regulation of hepatic Cyp3a11 and progressive liver injury, indicating a need for optimized dosing strategies in HH scenarios. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study reveals how high-altitude hypoxia alters modafinil's pharmacokinetics and efficacy via hepatic Cyp3a11 regulation, offering critical insights for optimizing drug use in hypobaric hypoxia environments.
Quercetin is a flavonoid commonly found in various fruits, vegetables, and grains. Studies have demonstrated that quercetin may help protect neuronal cells from damage caused by neurotoxins associated with Parkinson’s disease, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The current study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of quercetin in MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease mouse models and elucidate its mechanistic role in modulating the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into control, MPTP, quercetin, and MPTP + quercetin groups. The protective effects of quercetin on Parkinson’s disease in mice were evaluated using animal behaviour analysis, histopathological examination, and immunofluorescence staining. Subsequently, network pharmacology was utilized to determine the primary target sites of quercetin in Parkinson’s disease. Finally, western blotting and molecular docking techniques were applied to validate the identified targets. Quercetin significantly improved motor deficits in MPTP mice, reduced neuronal atrophy, and preserved TH+ dopaminergic neurons. Western blotting analysis revealed quercetin upregulated anti-inflammatory IL-10 (p < 0.01) and TGF-β (p < 0.01) while suppressing pro-inflammatory IL-1β (p < 0.01) and iNOS (p < 0.01). It activated the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β pathway by increasing phosphorylation of PI3K (p < 0.01), Akt (p < 0.01), and GSK-3β (p < 0.01). Quercetin also elevated anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 (p < 0.01) and reduced pro-apoptotic Bax (p < 0.01) and Caspase-9 (p < 0.01). Molecular docking confirmed strong binding between quercetin and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β (binding energies: −6.44 to −5.24 kcal/mol). Quercetin alleviates Parkinson’s disease pathology by inhibiting neuroinflammation, reducing apoptosis, and activating the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β pathway. These findings underscore its potential as a multi-target therapeutic agent for Parkinson’s disease.
We evaluated the effect of acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) on the heart of early-stage spontaneously hypertensive male rats (SHRs). The rats were classified into a control (ground level; similar to 400 m altitude) group and an SHR-AHH experimental group placed in an animal hypobaric chamber at a simulated altitude of 5500 m for 24 hours (24h). RNA-Seq analysis of the hearts showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were primarily associated with cellular processes, binding, and cell parts. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were linked to the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and metabolic pathways. Protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed that 165 DEGs were implicated in energy metabolism. Subsequently, we performed validation experiments to show that 8 DEGs were closely associated with energy metabolism. Among these genes, Ccna2, Cdc20, Prc1, Kif11, Kif20a, Ube2c, and Melk exhibited downregulated expression, while Cenpa exhibited upregulated expression. Collectively, these results indicated that energy metabolism-associated gene expression in the heart was altered in early-stage hypertension upon AHH exposure.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of acute hypobaric hypoxia (HH) on the anti-fatigue properties of pitolisant and explores the underlying mechanisms. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for expanding its clinical indications and optimizing its use in individuals exposed to HH conditions. Methods: The anti-fatigue effects of pitolisant were evaluated using the water maze, novel object recognition, and rotating rod tests. Drug concentrations and dopamine levels were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Additionally, gene and protein expression levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) were assessed to explore the mechanisms by which HH affects pitolisant's pharmacodynamics. Results: A 40 mg/kg dose of pitolisant significantly improved learning, memory, cognitive, and motor functions in sleep-deprived mice under HH conditions (P < 0.05). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a reduction in pitolisant concentration in the brain under HH conditions. Furthermore, OCT1 protein expression decreased after 1 h and 1 day of HH exposure (P < 0.05), while P-gp expression decreased after 1 h (P < 0.05). Conclusion: HH possibly reduced pitolisant's brain concentration and efficacy by altering the expression of OCT1 and P-gp transporters. A 40 mg/kg dose was necessary for an effective anti-fatigue response. Pitolisant shows potential for supporting circadian rhythm regulation in shift workers and individuals suffering from jet lag. When used under HH conditions, adjusting the dose and frequency may be necessary due to altered pharmacokinetics.
The relationship between circadian rhythm disorders and the development of various diseases appears to be significant, with limited current interventions available. Research literature suggests that hypoxia may influence the expression of clock genes and the shifting of rhythm phases. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the modulation of circadian rhythm through circulating exosomes by hypoxia preconditioning remain unclear. In this study, the mice were exposed to hypobaric conditions, simulating an altitude of 5000 m, for 1 h daily over the course of 1 week in order to achieve hypoxia preconditioning. Compared to the control group, no significant alteration was observed in the concentration, modal size, and mean size of circulating exosomes in hypoxia preconditioning mice. Exosomes derived from hypoxia preconditioning effectively suppressed the expression of Per1, Clock, and Bmal1 in NIH 3T3 cells. The miRNA sequencing analysis revealed miR-34b-3p as a potential regulator of the Clock, resulting in the downregulation of clock gene expression and subsequent promotion of proliferation and migration in NIH 3T3 cells. This study elucidated a novel mechanism of hypoxia preconditioning in the regulation of circadian rhythm, proposing that exosomal miR-34b-3p functions as an unrecognized molecule entity involved in the modulation of circadian rhythm. These findings offer a new avenue for developing protective strategies and therapeutic targets for circadian rhythm disorders.
Aim High-altitude cardiac injury is a prevalent form of tissue damage resulting from hypobaric hypoxia (HH). MICU1 is a critical modulator of mitochondrial calcium uptake, with significant implications for the regulation of mitochondrial redox homeostasis. This study sought to examine the impact of MICU1 and elucidate the underlying mechanism in myocardial exposed to HH. Methods Loss-and gain-of-function approaches were used to investigate the role of MICU1 in cardiac response to HH. In vitro, the function of MICU1 in the primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes under hypoxia was examined. Results We observed that MICU1 was downregulated in hearts exposed to HH, contributing to myocardial apoptosis. In vitro experiments demonstrated that MICU1 knockdown exacerbated hypoxic cardiomyocyte injury, as evidenced by an increase in apoptotic cells and a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Conversely, overexpression of MICU1 in mice significantly mitigated myocardial injury, leading to enhanced cardiac function and reduced myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in hypobaric hypoxic mice, consistent with the in vitro findings. Further investigations revealed that overexpression of MICU1 inhibited apoptosis by augmenting mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and subsequently enhancing the activity of tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) related enzymes. Lastly, our results suggest that hypoxia-induced downregulation of MICU1 is mediated by the reduction of MAZ expression in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Conclusion Our results suggest that MICU1 plays an important role in myocardial protection subjected to HH, suggesting that enhancing the expression or activity of MICU1 may be a potential pharmacological target to ameliorate myocardial injury at high altitude.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect and its possible mechanism of A-kinase anchored protein 1 (AKAP1) on the myocardial injury induced by highland hypobaric hypoxia. Methods: From January 2021 to May 2022, male C57BL/6 SPF grade mice were divided into wild type control (WT) group and highland hypobaric hypoxia (HH) group with 6 mice in each group. HH group simulated 6000 m altitude with low pressure oxygen chamber for 4 weeks to build the model. Primary myocardial cells of SD rats were divided into normoxia control group and hypoxia experimental group (n=3). Cell models were constructed in a three-gas hypoxia incubator with 1% oxygen concentration for 24 h. AKAP1 protein and mRNA expression in myocardial tissue and cells were detected by western blotting, immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). After myocardial point injection of the AKAP1 or the control adenovirus, the mice were divided into 3 groups (n=6) : WT group, highland hypobaric hypoxia overexpression control group (HH+Ad-Ctrl group) and highland hypobaric hypoxia overexpression experimental group (HH+Ad-AKAP1 group). The cardiac function of mice was detected by noninvasive M-type ultrasonic cardiomotive, myocardial fibrosis was detected by Masson and Sirius Red staining, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was detected by wheat germ agglutinin. After the expression of AKAP1 in primary cardiomyocytes was downregulated by siRNA and upregulated by adenovirus, the cells were divided into three groups (n=3) : normoxia control group, hypoxia interference control group (hypoxia+siCtrl group), hypoxia AKAP1 knockdown group (hypoxia+siAKAP1 group) ; normoxia control group, hypoxia overexpression control group (hypoxia+Ad-Ctrl group), hypoxia AKAP1 overexpression group (hypoxia+Ad-AKAP1 group). Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, AKAP1, apoptosis-related protein and mRNA expression levels were detected by western blotting and qPCR, mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 staining, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen specie (ROS) level was detected by MitoSOX. Results: The expression of AKAP1 in cardiac muscle of HH group was lower than that in the WT group, and the expression of AKAP1 in hypoxia experimental group was lower than that in normoxia control group (P<0.01). Compared with WT group, the left ventricular ejection fraction and fraction shortening of left ventricle in HH+Ad-Ctrl group were decreased (P<0.01), myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy were aggravated (P<0.01), and the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) was decreased, the expressions of BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX), Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were increased (P<0.01). After AKAP1 overexpression, compared with HH+Ad-Ctrl group, the left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fraction shortening were increased in HH+Ad-AKAP1 group (P<0.01), myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy were reduced (P<0.01), and the expression of BCL-2 was increased, the expressions of BAX, Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were decreased (P<0.01). Compared with normoxia control group, the expression of BCL-2 in hypoxia+siCtrl group was decreased, the expressions of BAX, Caspase 3, Caspase 9 were increased, the apoptosis level was increased (P<0.01), the mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased and the production of ROS was increased (P<0.01). After AKAP1 knockdown, compared with hypoxia+siCtrl group, the expression of BCL-2 in hypoxia+siAKAP1 group was decreased, the expressions of BAX, Caspase 3, Caspase 9 were increased, the apoptosis level was increased (P<0.01), mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased, and the production of ROS was increased (P<0.01). After AKAP1 overexpression, compared with hypoxia+Ad-Ctrl group, the expression of BCL-2 in hypoxia+Ad-AKAP1 group was increased, the expressions of BAX, Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were decreased (P<0.05), the apoptosis level was decreased (P<0.01), and the mitochondrial membrane potential was enhanced, and the production of ROS was decreased (P<0.01) . Conclusion: The downregulation of AKAP1 in cardiomyocytes under highland hypobaric hypoxia may lead to the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential and the increase of ROS generation, leading to the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and thus aggravating the myocardial injury at highland hypobaric hypoxia.
Introduction: Culturing cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells (CVSMCs) in vitro can provide a model for studying many cerebrovascular diseases. This study describes a convenient and efficient method to obtain mouse CVSMCs by enzyme digestion. Methods: Mouse circle of Willis was isolated, digested, and cultured with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to promote CVSMC growth, and CVSMCs were identified by morphology, immunofluorescence analysis, and flow cytometry. The effect of PDGF-BB on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation was evaluated by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay, morphological observations, Western blotting, and flow cytometry. Results: CVSMCs cultured in a PDGF-BB-free culture medium had a typical peak-to-valley growth pattern after approximately 14 days. Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry detected strong positive expression of the cell type-specific markers alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain 11 (SMMHC), smooth muscle protein 22 (SM22), calponin, and desmin. In the CCK-8 assay and Western blotting, cells incubated with PDGF-BB had significantly enhanced proliferation compared to those without PDGF-BB. Conclusion: We obtained highly purified VSMCs from the mouse circle of Willis using simple methods, providing experimental materials for studying the pathogenesis and treatment of neurovascular diseases in vitro. Moreover, the experimental efficiency improved with PDGF-BB, shortening the cell cultivation period.
We evaluated the effect of acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) on the hippocampal region of the brain in early-stage spontaneously hypertensive male rats. The rats were classified into a control (ground level; ~ 400 m altitude) group and an AHH experimental group placed in an animal hypobaric chamber at a simulated altitude of 5500 m for 24 h. RNA-Seq analysis of the brains and hippocampi showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were primarily associated with ossification, fibrillar collagen trimer, and platelet-derived growth factor binding. The DEGs were classified into functional categories including general function prediction, translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis, replication, recombination, and repair. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were primarily associated with relaxin signaling, PI3K-Akt signaling, and amoebiasis pathways. Protein–protein interaction network analysis indicated that 48 DEGs were involved in both inflammation and energy metabolism. Further, we performed validation experiments to show that nine DEGs were closely associated with inflammation and energy metabolism, of which two ( Vegfa and Angpt2 ) and seven ( Acta2, Nfkbia, Col1a1, Edn1, Itga1, Ngfr , and Sgk1 ) genes showed up and downregulated expression, respectively. Collectively, these results indicated that inflammation and energy metabolism-associated gene expression in the hippocampus was altered in early-stage hypertension upon AHH exposure.

BACKGROUND:Myocardial microvascular injury is the key event in early diabetic heart disease. The injury of myocardial microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) is the main cause and trigger of myocardial microvascular disease. Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays an important role in maintaining the normal function, survival and death of endothelial cells. Considering that mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) is a key molecule in mitochondrial calcium regulation, this study aimed to investigate the role of MICU1 in CMECs and explore its underlying mechanisms.METHODS:To examine the role of endothelial MICU1 in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), we used endothelial-specific MICU1ecKO mice to establish a diabetic mouse model and evaluate the cardiac function. In addition, MICU1 overexpression was conducted by injecting adeno-associated virus 9 carrying MICU1 (AAV9-MICU1). Transcriptome sequencing technology was used to explore underlying molecular mechanisms.RESULTS:Here, we found that MICU1 expression is decreased in CMECs of diabetic mice. Moreover, we demonstrated that endothelial cell MICU1 knockout exacerbated the levels of cardiac hypertrophy and interstitial myocardial fibrosis and led to a further reduction in left ventricular function in diabetic mice. Notably, we found that AAV9-MICU1 specifically upregulated the expression of MICU1 in CMECs of diabetic mice, which inhibited nitrification stress, inflammatory reaction, and apoptosis of the CMECs, ameliorated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, and promoted cardiac function. Further mechanistic analysis suggested that MICU1 deficiency result in excessive mitochondrial calcium uptake and homeostasis imbalance which caused nitrification stress-induced endothelial damage and inflammation that disrupted myocardial microvascular endothelial barrier function and ultimately promoted DCM progression.CONCLUSIONS:Our findings demonstrate that MICU1 expression was downregulated in the CMECs of diabetic mice. Overexpression of endothelial MICU1 reduced nitrification stress induced apoptosis and inflammation by inhibiting mitochondrial calcium uptake, which improved myocardial microvascular function and inhibited DCM progression. Our findings suggest that endothelial MICU1 is a molecular intervention target for the potential treatment of DCM.
