AbstractAutophagy is one of the basic cellular mechanism during preimplantation development of mammalian embryos, and it plays crucial role in several physiological processes. It is induced by interleukin (IL)‐1β in mammalian cells. Our present study shows that IL‐1β is important for autophagy activation in embryo development. Our in vitro culture system analysis shows effect of IL‐1β in medium on the development of mouse embryos and it was found to be concentration dependent. A preimplantation embryo culture using medium containing IL‐1β did not improve cleavage and blastocyst development rates of mouse embryos; however, blastocyst quality was significantly improved by increasing total cell number, especially in supplementary 20 ng/mL IL‐1β. Furthermore, autophagy activation mainly occurs in 2 to 4 cell embryo and blastocyst, 20 ng/mL IL‐1β into culture medium can effectively enhance levels of messenger RNA and protein of autophagy‐related‐factors in 2 to 4 cell embryos and blastocyst, while these factors reduce in VGX‐1027 (IL‐1β inhibitor) groups that also reduce the quality of blastocyst. Effects of IL‐1β on the development of embryo reduced in 20 ng/mL IL‐1β supplemented group when 5 mM 3‐methyladenine (3‐MA) was also added, which used to inhibit autophagy activation in endogenous PtdIns3Ks signal pathway. Our current results show that exogenous IL‐1β can effectively induce autophagy in mouse embryos at stages of 2 to 8 cell and blastocyst, that also help to improve the quality of blastocyst.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by symptoms that include social communication impairments, interaction deficits, and repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. Recent studies have suggested that imbalanced cytokine levels are associated with impaired behavioral outcomes in individuals with ASD. VGX-1027 is a potent immunomodulatory compound that has shown promise for the treatment of several neuroinflammatory disorders. Here, we studied the effects of VGX-1027 on BTBR T⁺ Itpr3^tf/J (BTBR) mice, an animal model of autism. BTBR mice exhibit most of the core behavioral features of ASD, such as reduced sociability and increased repetitive behaviors. In this study, we investigated the effects of VGX-1027 on self-grooming, marble burying and sociability tests using BTBR mice. We further examined its effect on IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and NF-κB p65 production in splenic CD4⁺ cells and on IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, COX-2, and iNOS (NOS2) protein and mRNA expression in brain tissues. The administration of VGX-1027 was found to attenuate self-grooming and marble burying behaviors, and enhance social interactions in BTBR mice. Additionally, VGX-1027 treatment resulted in a substantial decrease in IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and NF-κB p65 production, but increased IL-10 production in CD4⁺ T cells. Moreover, this agent was also found to significantly decrease IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, COX-2, and NOS2 levels and increase IL-10 expression at the protein and mRNA level in brain tissues. Based on results using BTBR mice, our data provide the first evidence that VGX-1027 could potentially be used for the amelioration of autism-like symptoms.

Protective effects of VGX-1027 in PM2.5-induced airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Q3 · MEDICINE

Fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) can penetrate into alveolar spaces and induce airway inflammation. Recent evidence suggests that the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling may participate in PM_2.5-induced acute lung injury. We investigated the effect of VGX-1027, a TLR4 blocker, on PM_2.5-induced airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in a murine model in vivo and on inflammatory mechanisms in vitro in human airway epithelial cells. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with vehicle (PBS) or VGX-1027 (25 mg/kg) one hour before intranasal instillation of vehicle (PBS) or PM_2.5 (7.8 mg/kg) for two consecutive days and inflammatory events and BHR studied 24 h later. Human airway epithelial Beas-2b cells were pretreated with vehicle or VGX-1027 (50 μM) in vitro one hour before incubation with vehicle or PM_2.5 (150 ng/ml) for 24 h and effects on inflammatory mediators and mechanisms studied. VGX-1027 pretreatment attenuated PM_2.5-induced BHR and elevated total and neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and eosinophils numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in vivo. PM_2.5-induced BAL fluid inflammatory mediator levels including TNF-α, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand1, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 were reduced by VGX-1027. PM_2.5-induced increases in TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 mRNA levels in Beas-2b cells were also reduced by VGX-1027. Mechanistically, VGX-1027 inhibited PM_2.5-induced activation of the TLR4-NF-κB-p38 MAPK and NLRP3-caspase-1 pathways as well as the dysregulation of mitochondrial fusion/fission proteins in vivo and in vitro. VGX-1027 may be a potential prophylactic treatment for PM_2.5-induced acute lung injury that has airway inflammation, BHR and mitochondrial damage.
