Abstract Background Depression and memory loss are prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, with diabetic patients facing an elevated risk of brain dysfunction. Methylglyoxal (MGO) formation, which is heightened in diabetes owing to hyperglycemia gut dysbiosis, may serve as a critical link between diseases. Despite the high prevalence MGO, precise mechanisms underlying MGO-induced depression remain unclear. Results We investigated effect MGO stress on like-behavior elucidate potential interplay tryptophan (Trp) metabolism impairment oxidative brain. It demonstrates that induces depression-like behavior mice, confirmed by OFT, TST, FST, SPT, EPM behavioral tests. led depletion Trp related neurotransmitters 5-HT, EPI, DA mouse Additionally, reduced cell count DG, CA1, CA3 hippocampal regions modulated TPH2 levels Notably, co-treatment mirrored effects observed after Trp-null treatment neurons, including TPH1 inhibition neuronal outgrowth. Furthermore, significantly altered expression key proteins associated neurodegeneration, such p-Tau, p-GSK-3β, APP, oAβ, BDNF, NGF, p-TrkB. Concurrently, activated MAPKs through ROS induction, triggering redox imbalance downregulating Nrf-2, Ho-1, TXNRD1, Trx, Sirt-3, Sirt-5 levels, NAD +, CAT activity This accelerated neuroinflammatory response, evidenced increased Iba-1, p-NF-κB, secretion IL-6 TNF-α. Importantly, ameliorated mice markedly mitigated p-ERK1/2, p-pJNK, p-NF-κB Likewise, also induced detoxifying factors GLO-I GLO-II activity, suggesting induction antioxidant system inflammation inhibiting TNF-α secretion. Conclusions Our data revealed deficits resulted from disturbances Trp, NGF p-Tau APP expression, neuroinflammation, impaired status (Nrf-2/Ho-1/TXNRD1/Sirt3/5)

With the term neuroinflammation has defined typical inflammatory response of brain closely related to onset many neurological diseases. Neuroinflammation is well known, but its mechanisms and pathways are not entirely comprehended. Currently, some progress been achieved through efforts research. Consequently, new cellular molecular mecha-nisms, diverse from conventional ones, emerging. In listing those that will be sub-ject our description discussion, essential important role peripheral infiltrated monocytes clonotypic cells, alterations in gut/brain axis, dysregulation apelinergic sys-tem, as changes endothelial glycocalyx blood-brain barrier, variation expres-sion genes levels encoding molecules by microRNAs (miRNAs), or other epige-netic factors distinctive transcriptional factors, autophagy, ferroptosis, sex differences modifications circadian cycle. Such mentioned can add significant pieces understanding complex etiological puzzle neuroinflammation. addi-tion, they could represent biomarkers targets neurodegenerative diseases, increase old populations.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating central nervous system disease that leads to neurological disability. Brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNFs) are neurotrophins involved in neurodegenerative disorders. This study analysed the relationship between serum BDNF, disability and different MS treatments. We included 63 people with (PwMS), relapsing-remitting or clinically isolated syndrome, 16 healthy controls (HCs). levels of BDNF specific tests (Expanded Disability Status Scale, timed 25-foot walk test, nine-hole peg test), at baseline (V0) after one year interferon beta1a teriflunomide treatment (V1). Baseline values were not PwMS HCs (p = 0.85). The higher vs. 0.003). was related last-year relapses by duration (all p > 0.05). overall for decreased < 0.001).

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease characterized by typical clinical and immunopathogenic pe-culiarities, which correlate with age sex/gender. Accordingly, MG patients show thymic al-terations auto-antibodies productions, that can be the expression of different pathogenetic mechanism related to gender. This determines, in relation at sex/gender, dif-ferent onset, prognosis, outcome. Therefore, diverse forms identified, classi-fied, their features, precisely there are early onset late-onset MG. It has been hypothesized cause appearance two ascribed mainly genetic epigenetic factors. In this narrative review, we will analyze discuss about interplay age- sex-related factors (i.e. genet-ic factors) how they contribute di-verse pathogenesis.
