Abstract Microglia activation is observed in various neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances single-cell technologies have revealed that these reactive microglia were with high spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Some identified specific states correlate pathological hallmarks are associated functions. both exert protective function by phagocytosing clearing protein aggregates play detrimental roles due to excessive uptake of aggregates, which would lead microglial phagocytic ability impairment, neuroinflammation, eventually neurodegeneration. In addition, peripheral immune cells infiltration shapes into a pro-inflammatory phenotype accelerates disease progression. also act as mobile vehicle propagate aggregates. Extracellular vesicles released from autophagy impairment all contribute progression Thus, enhancing phagocytosis, reducing microglial-mediated inhibiting exosome synthesis secretion, promoting conversion considered be promising strategies for the therapy Here we comprehensively review biology diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s multiple system atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, dementia Lewy bodies Huntington’s disease. We summarize possible microglia-targeted interventions treatments against diseases preclinical clinical evidence cell experiments, animal studies, trials.

Abstract Microglial activation plays central roles in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Positron emission tomography (PET) targeting 18 kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) is widely used for localising inflammation vivo, but its quantitative interpretation remains uncertain. We show that TSPO expression increases activated microglia mouse brain disease models does not change a non-human primate model or common human describe genetic divergence the gene promoter, consistent with hypothesis increase myeloid cells depends on transcription factor AP1 unique to subset of rodent species within Muroidea superfamily. Finally, we identify LCP2 TFEC as potential markers microglial humans. These data emphasise related different phenomena than mice, TSPO-PET signals humans reflect density inflammatory rather state.

Abstract Background Sepsis is a potentially fatal disease characterized by acute organ failure that affects more than 30 million people worldwide. Inflammation strongly associated with sepsis, and patients can experience impairments in memory, concentration, verbal fluency, executive functioning after being discharged from the hospital. We hypothesize sepsis disrupts microbiota–gut–brain axis homeostasis triggering cognitive impairment. This immune activation persists during treatment, causing neurological dysfunction survivors. Methods To test our hypothesis, adult Wistar rats were subjected to cecal–ligation perforation (CLP) or sham (non-CLP) surgeries. The animals [ 11 C]PBR28 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) imaging at 24 h 10 days CLP non-CLP At surgery, we evaluated gut microbiome, bacterial metabolites, cytokines, microglia, astrocyte markers. Ten induction, novel object recognition (NOR) Morris water maze (MWM) assess their learning memory.

Neuropathic pain poses a significant clinical challenge, largely due to the incomplete understanding of its molecular mechanisms, particularly role mitochondrial dysfunction. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that pyroptosis and inflammatory responses induced by spared nerve injury (SNI) in spinal dorsal horn play critical initiation persistence neuropathic pain. Among factors involved, TSPO (translocator protein) emerged as key regulator. Our experimental findings showed expression was upregulated during pain, accompanied dysfunction, specifically manifested impaired biogenesis, disrupted dynamics (including insufficient biogenesis fusion-related proteins, well significantly increased fission-related proteins), activation pyroptosis. Pharmacological upregulation TSPO, but not downregulation, effectively alleviated SNI-induced hypersensitivity, improving function reducing Immunofluorescence staining confirmed primarily localized astrocytes, mirrored protective effects on health prevention. PCR array suggested strong association between regulation pathway AMPK-PGC-1α. Notably, inhibition AMPK-PGC-1α abolished balance suppression. Furthermore, Mendelian randomization GWAS data indicated linked relief. Through drug screening, docking, behavioral assays, we identified zopiclone promising TSPO-targeting for treatment. In summary, this study enhances our interplay health, highlighting potential therapeutic target management.
