Abstract Background Dual specificity protein phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) was recently identified as a key hub gene in causal network that regulates late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Importantly, decreased DUSP6 levels are correlated with an increased clinical dementia rating human subjects, and additionally the 5xFAD amyloidopathy mouse model. Methods AAV5-DUSP6 or AAV5-GFP (control) were stereotactically injected into dorsal hippocampus (dHc) of female male wild type mice to overexpress GFP. Spatial learning memory these assessed Barnes maze, after which hippocampal tissues isolated for downstream analysis. Results maze testing indicated overexpression dHc improved deficits associated reduced amyloid plaque load, Aß 1-40 1-42 levels, precursor processing enzyme BACE1, but not mice. Microglial activation microgliosis, mice, significantly by both males females. Transcriptomic profiling revealed upregulated expression genes involved inflammatory extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways, while downregulated subset pathways. A limited number differentially expressed (DEGs) (FDR<0.05) mice; ontology analysis DEGs (p<0.05) greater synaptic pathways regulated compared 5xFAD. Notably, msh homeobox 3 gene, Msx3 , previously shown regulate microglial M1/M2 polarization reduce neuroinflammation, one most robustly overexpressing DUSP6.

Abstract As the world population ages, there will be an increasing need for effective therapies aging‐associated neurodegenerative disorders, which remain untreatable. Dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of leading neurological diseases in aging population. Current therapeutic approaches treat this disorder are solely symptomatic, making new molecular entities acting on causes extremely urgent. One potential solutions use compounds that already market. The structures have known pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicity profiles, and patient data available several countries. Several drugs been used successfully different from their original purposes, such as autoimmunity peripheral inflammation. Herein, we divulge repurposing area diseases, focusing antineoplastics dementia AD dementia. We briefly touch upon shared pathological mechanism between cancer drug strategies, with a focus artificial intelligence. Next, bring out current status research development drugs, provide supporting evidence retrospective, clinical, preclinical studies antineoplastic use, areas, prion‐like spreading pathologies treating AD.

The onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is usually characterized by focal death both upper and/or lower motor neurons occurring in the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and spinal cord, commonly involves muscles extremities, bulbar respiratory regions. However, as disease progresses, it affects adjacent body regions, leading to generalized muscle weakness, occasionally along with memory, cognitive, behavioral, language impairments; dysfunction occurs at final stage disease. has a complicated pathophysiology currently, only riluzole, edaravone, phenylbutyrate/taurursodiol are licensed treat many industrialized countries. TAR DNA-binding protein 43 inclusions observed 97% those diagnosed sclerosis. This review provides preliminary overview potential effects pathogenesis sclerosis, including abnormalities nucleoplasmic transport, RNA function, post-translational modification, liquid-liquid phase separation, stress granules, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, axonal quality control system, non-cellular autonomous functions (e.g., glial cell prion-like propagation).

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory and cognitive decline, posing formidable public health challenge. This review explores the intricate interplay between two pivotal players in AD pathogenesis: β-amyloid (Aβ) tau protein. While amyloid cascade theory has long dominated research, recent developments have ignited debates about its centrality. Aβ plaques NFTs are hallmark pathologies AD. Aducanumab lecanemab, monoclonal antibodies targeting Aβ, been approved, albeit amidst controversy, raising questions therapeutic efficacy of Aβ-focused interventions. On other hand, tau, specifically hyperphosphorylation, disrupts microtubule stability contributes to neuronal dysfunction. Various post-translational modifications drive aggregation into NFTs. Emerging treatments such as GSK-3β CDK5 inhibitors, shown promise preclinical clinical studies. Restoring equilibrium protein kinases phosphatases, notably phosphatase-2A (PP2A), promising avenue for therapy, primarily regulated phosphorylation state. Activation tau-specific phosphatases offers potential mitigating pathology. The evolving landscape drug development emphasizes tau-centric therapies reevaluation hypothesis. Additionally, exploring role neuroinflammation interaction with pathology present research directions.

Here we describe repressor Whi7 key target of regulation entry. The phosphorylation by inhibits and explains most contribution activation Start. Mechanistically, downregulates protein levels through control stability WHI7 gene transcription. also restrains intrinsic ability associate with promoters. Furthermore, although Whi5 main normal cycling cells, absence Pho85, becomes major leading G1 arrest. Overall, our results reveal novel mechanism which at multiple levels, may confer functional specialization connect response adverse control.

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) has been proven have antioxidant neuroprotective effects in some neurodegenerative diseases, including PD. Consequently, there growing interest understanding different mechanisms involved effect this hormone. To clarify mechanism action IGF-II protective The present study was carried out on a cellular model PD based incubation dopaminergic cells (SN4741) culture with toxic 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), presence IGF-II.
