Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), as the most common phthalate, has been extensively used a plasticizer to improve plasticity of agricultural products, which pose severe harm human health. Mitochondrial dynamics and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis are indispensable for maintaining mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM) integrity. In this study, we aimed explore effect DEHP on nervous system its association with ER-mitochondria interaction. Here, showed that caused morphological changes, motor deficits, cognitive impairments, blood-brain barrier disruption in brain. triggered stress, is mainly mediated by protein kinase R-like (PERK) signaling. Moreover, DEHP-induced mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) downregulation results imbalance mitochondrial dynamics.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by a progressive cognitive decline. Sporadic AD, accounting for more than 95% cases, may arise due to influence environmental factors. It was reported that periodontitis, common oral ailment, shares several risk factors with including advanced age, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension, among others. Periodontitis an inflammatory triggered dysbiosis microorganisms, whereas neuroinflammation. Many studies have indicated chronic inflammation can instigate brain AD-related pathologies, amyloid-β plaques, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration. The potential involvement periodontal pathogens and/or their virulence in onset progression AD oral-brain axis has garnered significant attention researchers ongoing investigations. This review updated potentially associated elucidating impact on central nervous system, immune response, related pathological processes provide valuable insights future research axis.

Recent research highlights compelling links between oral health, particularly periodontitis, and systemic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although the biological mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear, role of periodontal pathogens, Porphyromonas gingivalis, has garnered significant attention. P. a major driver is recognized for its potential effects putative in AD pathogenesis. This review examines evidence connecting gingivalis to hallmark features, such as amyloid β accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation, other neuropathological features consistent with AD. Virulence factors, gingipains lipopolysaccharides, were shown be implicated blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal damage. gingivalis-derived outer membrane vesicles may serve disseminate virulence factors brain tissues. Indirect mechanisms, inflammation triggered by chronic infections, are also supposed exacerbate neurodegenerative processes. While exact pathways uncertain, studies detecting components AD-affected brains support their possible underscores need further investigation into gingivalis-mediated interplay host responses. Understanding interactions could provide critical insights novel strategies reducing risk through management.
