Cholestane-3β, 5α, 6β-triol suppresses neuronal hyperexcitability via binding to voltage-gated sodium channels.

Abstract:

:Neuronal hyperexcitability is identified as a critical pathological basis of epileptic seizures. Cholestane-3β, 5α, 6β-triol (Triol) is a major metabolic oxysterol of cholesterol. Although its neuroprotective effect on ischemia-induced neuronal injury and negative modulation of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels were well established, the physical binding site of triol to sodium channels and its effects on neuronal hyperexcitability have not yet been explored. In this study, we utilized molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the interaction between triol and Nav Channels. Our results demonstrated that triol binds to the indole ring of Trp122 of the Nav Channel in silico with a high biological affinity. We further found that triol negatively modulates the action potentials bursts of hippocampal neurons by cell-attached patch recording. Moreover, triol significantly inhibits low Mg2+-induced hyperexcitability in vitro. In addition, triol attenuates pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsive-form behavioral deficits in vivo. Together, our results suggest that triol suppresses neuronal hyperexcitability via binding to Nav channel, indicating that triol might be an attractive lead compound for the treatment of neuronal hyperexcitability-related neurological disorders, especially epileptic seizures.

  • The sequence of sites recognised by a member of the RNase E/G family can control the maximal rate of cleavage, while a 5'-monophosphorylated end appears to function cooperatively in mediating RNA binding.

    abstract::Members of the RNase E/G family are multimeric, 5'-end-sensing, single-strand-specific endoribonucleases that are found in chloroplasts as well as bacteria, and have central roles in RNA processing and degradation. A well-studied member of this family is Escherichia coli RNase G. Recently, we have shown that the inter...
