          Abstract

          Loss of E3 ubiquitin ligase RING finger protein 8 (RNF8) may lead to neuronal DNA damage and apoptosis. In order to expand on our knowledge on the mechanistic basis underlying neuronal death in ischemic stroke, the present study sought to investigate the potential role of E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF8 on ischemic stroke and explore the underlying downstream mechanism. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice and oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in neurons were induced to simulate an ischemic stroke environment. It was found that downregulation of RNF8 and Reelin occurred in MCAO mice and OGD/R-exposed neurons. Silencing of RNF8 enhanced the MCAO-induced neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress. Mechanistically, RNF8 enhanced the ubiquitination and degradation of HDAC2, thus attenuating OGD/R-induced neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress. Moreover, HDAC2 inhibited Reelin expression through deacetylation of H3K27me3 in its promoter, causing reduced glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK3β)-Ser9 phosphorylation and the resultant elevated GSK3β activity. By this mechanism, RNF8 alleviated ischemic stroke. Coherently, this study suggests that RNF8 plays a neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke by downregulating HDAC2 expression and inducing Reelin-induced GSK3β inhibition.

          Erasers of histone acetylation: the histone deacetylase enzymes.

          Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl functional groups from the lysine residues of both histone and nonhistone proteins. In humans, there are 18 HDAC enzymes that use either zinc- or NAD(+)-dependent mechanisms to deacetylate acetyl lysine substrates. Although removal of histone acetyl epigenetic modification by HDACs regulates chromatin structure and transcription, deacetylation of nonhistones controls diverse cellular processes. HDAC inhibitors are already known potential anticancer agents and show promise for the treatment of many diseases.

            SARS2-CoV-2 and Stroke in a New York Healthcare System

            Background and Purpose: With the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the current worldwide pandemic, there is mounting evidence that patients affected by the illness may develop clinically significant coagulopathy with thromboembolic complications including ischemic stroke. However, there is limited data on the clinical characteristics, stroke mechanism, and outcomes of patients who have a stroke and COVID-19. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with ischemic stroke who were hospitalized between March 15, 2020, and April 19, 2020, within a major health system in New York, the current global epicenter of the pandemic. We compared the clinical characteristics of stroke patients with a concurrent diagnosis of COVID-19 to stroke patients without COVID-19 (contemporary controls). In addition, we compared patients to a historical cohort of patients with ischemic stroke discharged from our hospital system between March 15, 2019, and April 15, 2019 (historical controls). Results: During the study period in 2020, out of 3556 hospitalized patients with diagnosis of COVID-19 infection, 32 patients (0.9%) had imaging proven ischemic stroke. Cryptogenic stroke was more common in patients with COVID-19 (65.6%) as compared to contemporary controls (30.4%, P=0.003) and historical controls (25.0%, P<0.001). When compared with contemporary controls, COVID-19 positive patients had higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and higher peak D-dimer levels. When compared with historical controls, COVID-19 positive patients were more likely to be younger men with elevated troponin, higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Patients with COVID-19 and stroke had significantly higher mortality than historical and contemporary controls. Conclusions: We observed a low rate of imaging-confirmed ischemic stroke in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Most strokes were cryptogenic, possibly related to an acquired hypercoagulability, and mortality was increased. Studies are needed to determine the utility of therapeutic anticoagulation for stroke and other thrombotic event prevention in patients with COVID-19.

              Histone deacetylases and their inhibitors in cancer, neurological diseases and immune disorders.

              Epigenetic aberrations, which are recognized as key drivers of several human diseases, are often caused by genetic defects that result in functional deregulation of epigenetic proteins, their altered expression and/or their atypical recruitment to certain gene promoters. Importantly, epigenetic changes are reversible, and epigenetic enzymes and regulatory proteins can be targeted using small molecules. This Review discusses the role of altered expression and/or function of one class of epigenetic regulators--histone deacetylases (HDACs)--and their role in cancer, neurological diseases and immune disorders. We highlight the development of small-molecule HDAC inhibitors and their use in the laboratory, in preclinical models and in the clinic.
