Abstract Background Persistent innate and adaptive immune responses in the brain contribute to progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). APOE4 , most important genetic risk factor for sporadic AD, encodes apolipoprotein E4, which by itself is a potent modulator response. However, little known about hub that governs crosstalk between nervous systems. Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel ligand-gated, nonselective cation with Ca 2+ permeability, has been proposed as neuroprotective target AD. Methods Using -sensitive dyes, dynamic changes microglia were measured, including exogenous uptake endoplasmic reticulum release.

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stands as the predominant form of dementia, presenting significant and escalating global challenges. Its etiology is intricate diverse, stemming from a combination factors such aging, genetics, environment. Our current understanding AD pathologies involves various hypotheses, cholinergic, amyloid, tau protein, inflammatory, oxidative stress, metal ion, glutamate excitotoxicity, microbiota-gut-brain axis, abnormal autophagy. Nonetheless, unraveling interplay among these pathological aspects pinpointing primary initiators require further elucidation validation. In past decades, most clinical drugs have been discontinued due to limited effectiveness or adverse effects. Presently, available primarily offer symptomatic relief often accompanied by undesirable side However, recent approvals aducanumab ( 1 ) lecanemab 2 Food Drug Administration (FDA) present potential in disrease-modifying Nevertheless, long-term efficacy safety need Consequently, quest for safer more effective persists formidable pressing task. This review discusses pathogenesis, advances diagnostic biomarkers, latest updates trials, emerging technologies drug development. We highlight progress discovery selective inhibitors, dual-target allosteric modulators, covalent proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), protein-protein interaction (PPI) modulators. goal provide insights into prospective development application novel drugs.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and affects millions of individuals globally. AD associated with cognitive decline memory loss that worsens aging. A statistical report using U.S. data on estimates approximately 6.9 million suffer from AD, a number projected to surge 13.8 by 2060. Thus, there critical imperative pinpoint address its hallmark tau protein aggregation early prevent manage debilitating effects. Amyloid-β proteins are primarily formation plaques neurofibril tangles in brain. Current research efforts focus degrading amyloid-β or inhibiting their synthesis, particularly targeting APP processing hyperphosphorylation, aiming develop effective clinical interventions. However, navigating this intricate landscape requires ongoing studies trials treatments truly make difference. Genome-wide association (GWASs) across various cohorts identified 40 loci over 300 genes AD. Despite wealth genetic data, much remains be understood about functions these role process, prompting continued investigation. By delving deeper into associations, novel targets such as kinases, proteases, cytokines, degradation pathways, offer new directions for drug discovery therapeutic intervention This review delves biological pathways disrupted identifies how variations within could serve potential treatment strategies.

While apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the strongest genetic modifier for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), molecular mechanisms underlying isoform-dependent risk and relevance of ApoE-associated lipids remain elusive. Here, we report that impaired low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) binding lipidated ApoE2 (lipApoE2) avoids LDLR recycling defects observed with lipApoE3/E4 decreases uptake cholesteryl esters (CEs), which are linked to neurodegeneration. In human neurons, addition ApoE carrying polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-CE revealed an allelic series (ApoE4 > ApoE3 ApoE2) associated lipofuscinosis, age-related lysosomal pathology resulting from lipid peroxidation. Lipofuscin increased accumulation tau fibrils was elevated in APOE4 mouse brain exacerbation by pathology. Intrahippocampal injection PUFA-CE-lipApoE4 sufficient induce lipofuscinosis wild-type mice. Finally, protective Christchurch mutation also reduced phenocopied ApoE2. Collectively, our data strongly suggest decreased lipApoE-LDLR interactions minimize LOAD reducing deleterious effects endolysosomal targeting pathogenic lipids.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Antiamyloid antibody treatments modestly slow progression in mild dementia due to AD. Emerging evidence shows that homeostatic dysregulation of brain immune system, especially orchestrated by microglia, plays an important role onset and progression. Thus, a major question how modulate phenotype function microglia treat Xenon (Xe) gas noble used human patients as anesthetic neuroprotectant for treating injuries. Xe penetrates blood-brain barrier, which could make it effective therapeutic. To assess effect on AD pathology, we designed custom inhalation chamber treated several mouse models with gas. treatment induced adopt intermediate activation state have termed pre–neurodegenerative (pre-MGnD). This microglial phenotypic transition was observed acute neurodegeneration amyloidosis (APP/PS1 5xFAD mice) tauopathy (P301S mice). enhanced amyloid plaque compaction reduced dystrophic neurites APP/PS1 models. Moreover, atrophy neuroinflammation improved nest-building behavior P301S mice.

ABSTRACT Synaptic homeostasis of the principal neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA is tightly regulated by an intricate metabolic coupling between neurons astrocytes known as glutamate/GABA‐glutamine cycle. In this cycle, take up from synapse convert these into glutamine. Astrocytic glutamine subsequently transferred to neurons, serving precursor for neuronal synthesis. The cycle integrates multiple cellular processes, including neurotransmitter release, uptake, synthesis, metabolism. All processes are deeply interdependent closely coupled energy Astrocytes display highly active mitochondrial oxidative metabolism several unique features, glycogen storage pyruvate carboxylation, which essential sustain continuous release. However, new roles oligodendrocytes microglia in recycling emerging. Malfunction can lead severe synaptic disruptions may be implicated brain diseases. Here, I review central aspects recent advances highlight how functionally connected critical functions First, overview glutamate, GABA, transport provided relation recycling. Then, reviewed, with a special emphasis on glial cells. Finally, discuss aberrant linked neurodegeneration disease, focusing astrocyte dysfunction lipid emerging pathological mechanisms.
