HDAC3 has been shown to regulate inflammation. However, the role of HDAC3 in primary microglia is largely unknown. RGFP966 is a newly discovered selective HDAC3 inhibitor. In this study, we used protein mass spectrometry to analyze protein alterations in LPS-treated primary microglia with the application of RGFP966. Generally, about 2000 proteins were studied. 168 of 444 (37.8%) LPS-induced proteins were significantly reduced with the treatment of RGFP966, which mainly concentrated on Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In this regard, we selected Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), TLR3, TLR6, MAPK p38, CD36, and spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) for further validation and found that they were all significantly upregulated after LPS stimulation and downregulated in the presence of RGFP966. Additionally, RGFP966 inhibited supernatant tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations. Activation of STAT3 and STAT5 was partially blocked by RGFP966 at 2 h after LPS-stimulation. The fluorescence intensity of CD16/32 was significantly decreased in LPS + RGFP966-treated group. In conclusion, our data provided a hint that RGFP966 may be a potential therapeutic medication combating microglia activation and inflammatory response in central nervous system, which was probably related to its repressive impacts on TLR signaling pathways and STAT3/STAT5 pathways.
已有研究表明HDAC3可调节炎症。然而,HDAC3在原代小胶质细胞中的作用在很大程度上尚不清楚。RGFP966是一种新发现的选择性HDAC3抑制剂。在本研究中,我们使用蛋白质质谱分析法来分析在应用RGFP966的情况下,经脂多糖(LPS)处理的原代小胶质细胞中的蛋白质变化。一般来说,共研究了约2000种蛋白质。在444种LPS诱导的蛋白质中,有168种(37.8%)在RGFP966处理后显著减少,这些蛋白质主要集中在Toll样受体信号通路。在这方面,我们选择了Toll样受体2(TLR2)、TLR3、TLR6、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶p38(MAPK p38)、CD36和脾酪氨酸激酶(SYK)进行进一步验证,发现它们在LPS刺激后均显著上调,而在有RGFP966存在的情况下则下调。此外,RGFP966抑制了上清液中肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)和白细胞介素6(IL-6)的浓度。在LPS刺激后2小时,RGFP966部分阻断了信号转导和转录激活因子3(STAT3)和信号转导和转录激活因子5(STAT5)的激活。在LPS + RGFP966处理组中,CD16/32的荧光强度显著降低。总之,我们的数据提示RGFP966可能是一种潜在的治疗药物,可对抗中枢神经系统中的小胶质细胞激活和炎症反应,这可能与其对TLR信号通路和STAT3/STAT5通路的抑制作用有关。
