Neuroinflammation, characterised by the activation of immune cells in central nervous system (CNS), plays a dual role both protecting against and contributing to progression neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) multiple sclerosis (MS). This review explores phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), key enzyme involved cellular survival, proliferation, inflammatory responses, within context neuroinflammation. Two PI3K isoforms interest, PI3Kγ PI3Kδ, are specific regulation CNS cells, microglia, astrocytes, neurons, oligodendrocytes, influencing pathways, Akt, mTOR, NF-κB, that control cytokine production, cell activation, neuroprotection. The dysregulation signalling is implicated chronic neuroinflammation, exacerbation diseases. Preclinical studies show promise targeting neuronal disorders using inhibitors, AS605240 (PI3Kγ) idelalisib (PI3Kδ), which have reduced inflammation, microglial death vivo models AD. However, clinical translation these inhibitors faces challenges, including blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, isoform specificity, long-term safety concerns. highlights therapeutic potential modulation neuroinflammatory identifying gaps current research, particularly need for brain-penetrating isoform-specific inhibitors. These findings underscore importance future research develop targeted therapies can effectively modulate activity provide neuroprotection disorders.

Neuroinflammation is a blanket term that describes the body’s complex inflammatory response in central nervous system (CNS). It encompasses phenotype shift to proinflammatory state, release of cytokines, recruitment peripheral immune cells, and wide variety other processes. has been implicated nearly every major CNS disease ranging from Alzheimer’s brain cancer. Understanding modeling neuroinflammation critical for identification novel therapeutic targets treatment diseases. Unfortunately, translation findings non-human models left much be desired. This review systematically discusses role human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived glia supporting cells within CNS, including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor pericytes, endothelial describe state field hope future discoveries. hPSC-derived offer an expanded potential study pathobiology immunomodulatory cascades impact progression. While progress made development models, there explore application these understand CNS.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), key components of the extracellular matrix and glial scar that forms around central nervous system (CNS) injuries, are recognized for hindering neuronal regeneration. We previously demonstrated potential pleiotrophin (PTN) to induce neurite outgrowth even in presence inhibitory CSPGs. The effects PTN on microglia oligodendrocytes not well described. Here, we examined how administration alters differentiation oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into mature CSPGs using vitro cell culture model. Moreover, explored inflammatory activity with without stimulation (IFN-γ) a CSPG-rich environment. data showed CSPG inhibited OPCs oligodendrocytes. induced dose-dependent oligodendrocytes, an optimal effect at 10 nM PTN. modified immunological response CSPGs, reduced proinflammatory was further by administration, contrast increased release metalloproteinases (MMP 9). However, when IFN-γ-activated were treated PTN, signaling stimulated higher concentrations (10 100 nM). Overall, our results indicate can overcome modulate inflammation mediated from microglia. Collectively, these findings demonstrate effectively counteract while also modulating microglial responses reduce increase MMP-9 release. Thus, has great improve remyelination neuroprotective strategies treatment demyelinating diseases or any injury.

It has been known for many years these diseases pathogenic aspects in common. We highlight this review neuroglial cells (astroglia, oligodendroglia, microglia) play a vital role the origin, clinical-pathological development, course brain neurodegeneration.
