Abstract Early and progressive dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system from Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) have been described in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). During long pre-symptomatic phase, alterations function Parvalbumin interneurons (PV-INs) are also observed, resulting cortical hyperexcitability represented by subclinical epilepsy aberrant gamma-oscillations. However, it is unknown whether deficits contribute to brain AD. Here, using Tg2576 mouse model AD, we prove that reduced hippocampal innervation, due VTA dopamine neuron degeneration, impairs PV-IN firing gamma-waves, weakens inhibition pyramidal neurons induces via lower D2-receptor-mediated activation CREB-pathway. These coincide with numbers Perineuronal Net density. Importantly, L-DOPA selective D2-receptor agonist quinpirole rescue p -CREB levels improve PV-IN-mediated inhibition, thus reducing hyperexcitability. Moreover, similarly quinpirole, sumanirole – another a known anticonvulsant not only increases PV-INs but restores gamma-oscillations mice. Conversely, blocking transmission sulpiride (a D2-like receptor antagonist) WT mice reduces PV-INs, mimicking what occurs Tg2576. Overall, these findings support hypothesis integrity plays key role survival, disclosing relevant contribution tone epileptiform activity early

The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia is critical for neuroinflammation during postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) induced by sevoflurane.However, the molecular mechanism which sevoflurane activates remains unclear.The cGAS-STING pathway an evolutionarily conserved inflammatory defense mechanism.The role sevoflurane-induced inflammasome-dependent and underlying mechanisms require further investigation.We found that prolonged anesthesia with triggered characterized vivo.Interestingly, was activated hippocampus mice receiving sevoflurane.While blockade cGAS RU.521 attenuated mice.In vitro, we treatment significantly microglia, while pre-treatment robustly inhibited activation.Mechanistically, mitochondrial fission released DNA (mtDNA) into cytoplasm, could be abolished Mdivi-1.Blocking mtDNA release via mPTP-VDAC channel inhibitor cytosolic escape reduced finally inhibiting activation.Therefore, regulating targeting may provide a novel therapeutic target POCD.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a crucial role in ischemic stroke, whereas the of methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) stroke remains unknown. A model middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) HAPI cells were used to simulate vivo vitro. We found that METTL14 level was upregulated microglia/macrophage after MCAO OGD/R. enhanced expression KAT3B by promoting m6A modification mRNA.

These findings indicate relieves MCAO-induced injury, probably via switching from towards M2 restraining microglia/macrophage.

It is now generally accepted that astrocytes are active players in synaptic transmission, so a neurocentric perspective of the integrative signal communication central nervous system shifting towards neuro-astrocentric perspective. Astrocytes respond to activity, release chemical signals (gliotransmitters) and express neurotransmitter receptors (G protein-coupled ionotropic receptors), thus behaving as co-actors with neurons system. The ability G physically interact through heteromerization, forming heteromers receptor mosaics new distinct recognition transduction pathways, has been intensively studied at neuronal plasma membrane, changed view One best-known examples receptor-receptor interaction relevant consequences for both physiological pharmacological points view, given by adenosine A2A dopamine D2 on membrane striatal neurons.

Among symptoms, pain frequently experienced patients, being range 24-85% population. Moreover, more than 5% first manifestation, preceding decades exordium motor symptoms. Pain implies complex biopsychosocial experience downstream anatomical network involved perception, modulation, processing. Interestingly, all areas can be affected a-synuclein pathology, suggesting that pathophysiology encompasses 'pain spectrum', involving neurochemical substrates.
