Novel Perivascular Macrophage Mechanism to Promote Glymphatic Aβ Clearance After Stroke.

BACKGROUND: Parenchymal border macrophages (PBMs) reside at the interface between the central nervous system and the periphery. They are known to mediate the accessibility of the substances to the brain. However, no one has examined their role in poststroke Aβ (amyloid-β) clearance. METHODS: Permanent focal cerebral ischemia was induced in 8- to 10-week-old C57/Bl6 male mice by distal middle cerebral artery occlusion. The clodronate liposomes were administered into the cerebral spinal fluid at 7 days before stroke to deplete the PBM population. Sensorimotor and cognitive functions, glymphatic

Tau depletion diminishes vascular amyloid-related deficits in a mouse model of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

INTRODUCTION: Tau is essential for amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced synaptic and cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD), making its downregulation a therapeutic target. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a major vascular contributor to cognitive decline, affects over 90% of patients with AD. This study explores the impact of tau downregulation on CAA pathogenesis. METHODS: We crossed the Familial Danish Dementia mouse model (Tg-FDD), which develops vascular amyloid, with tau-null (mTau-/-) mice to generate a CAA model lacking endogenous tau (Tg-FDD/mTau-/-). Behavioral, electrophysiological,

Although NYT did not affect cellular senescence of dopaminergic neurons or glial cells, including astrocytes and microglia, it reduced phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and expressions of NLRP3 and IL-1β in the VTA. Furthermore, NLRP3 expression in VTA microglia, but not astrocyte, was attenuated by NYT. Our results suggest that NYT may suppress age …

Transcriptomic insights into ferroptosis and potential therapeutic targets in central Post-Stroke pain following thalamic hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: Central post-stroke pain (CPSP), affecting nearly one-third of stroke survivors with thalamic lesions, is increasingly linked to ferroptosis due to its established role in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying CPSP induced by thalamic hemorrhage, with a focus on the role of ferroptosis. METHODS: Utilizing single-nucleus RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing data from a mouse model of thalamic hemorrhage, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify key genes associated with CPSP and ferroptosis. We em

Functional connectivity changes in mouse models of maple syrup urine disease.

Maple syrup urine disease is a rare metabolic disorder that results in neurodevelopmental injury despite dietary therapy. While structural neuroimaging has shown a characteristic pattern of edema and white matter injury, no functional neuroimaging studies of maple syrup urine disease have been performed. Using widefield optical imaging, we investigated resting-state functional connectivity in two brain-specific mouse models of maple syrup urine disease (an astrocyte-specific knockout and a whole-brain knockout). At 8 weeks, mouse functional neuroimaging was performed using a custom-built widef

Пути к прогрессивной инвалидности при множественном склерозе: роль глиальных клеток в хроническом воспалении CNS.

Множественный склероз (MS) является наиболее распространенным неинфекционным воспалительным заболеванием CNS, характеризующимся прогрессивным нейродегенерацией и точечными демиелинированными повреждениями. Традиционно считается аутоиммунным заболеванием, MS движет атака иммунной системы на CNS Myelin, что приводит к кумулятивной инвалидности. Однако традиционные методы борьбы с воспламенением часто не позволяют предотвратить постепенное ухудшение состояния, особенно при отсутствии открытого воспаления, что подчеркивает необходимость более глубокого понимания его патогенеза.

Nanotherapeutic Approaches of Interleukin-3 to Clear the α-Synuclein Pathology in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease.

Astrocyte-microglia crosstalk is vital for neuronal survival and clearing aggregate accumulation in neurodegenerative diseases. While interleukin-3 (IL-3) has been reported to exert both protective and detrimental effects in neurodegenerative diseases, however, its role in α-synuclein pathology remains unclear. In this study, it is found that astrocytic IL-3 and microglial IL-3R are positively responsive to α-synuclein pathology in the brains of transgenic A53T Parkinson's disease (PD) mice and in an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-human α-synuclein (AAV-hα-Syn)-injected PD mouse model.

Extra-temporal pediatric low-grade gliomas and epilepsy.

Low-grade gliomas, especially glioneuronal tumors, are a common cause of epilepsy in children. Seizures associated with low-grade pediatric tumors are medically refractory and present a significant burden to patients. Often, morbidity and patients´ quality of life are determined rather by the control of seizures than the oncological process itself and the resolution of epilepsy represents an important part in the treatment of LGGs. The pathogenesis of tumor-related seizures in focal LGG tumors is multifactorial, and mechanisms differ probably among patients and tumor types. Pediatric low-grade

A Nanotherapy of Octanoic Acid Ameliorates Cardiac Arrest/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation-Induced Brain Injury via RVG29- and Neutrophil Membrane-Mediated Injury Relay Targeting.

Treatment of cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR)-induced brain injury remains a challenging issue without viable therapeutic options. Octanoic acid (OA), a lipid oil that is mainly metabolized in the astrocytes of the brain, is a promising treatment for this type of injury owing to its potential functions against oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and ability to stabilize mitochondria. However, the application of OA is strictly limited by its short half-life and low available concentration in the target organ. Herein, based on our previous research, an OA-based nanoth…

Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells ameliorate neurological function in chronic cerebral infarction model mice via improvement of cerebral blood flow.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Stroke is a frequently observed neurological disorder that might lead to permanent and severe disability. Recently, various regenerative therapies have been developed, some of which have already been applied clinically. However, their outcomes have not been fully satisfactory. In particular, the development of regenerative therapies for chronic ischemic stroke is greatly needed. Herein intracerebral administration of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) was assessed as a potential treatment for chronic ischemic stroke using a severe combined immunodeficiency mouse m

A single mild juvenile TBI in male mice leads to regional brain tissue abnormalities at 12 months of age that correlate with cognitive impairment at the middle age.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has the highest incidence amongst the pediatric population and its mild severity represents the most frequent cases. Moderate and severe injuries as well as repetitive mild TBI result in lasting morbidity. However, whether a single mild TBI sustained during childhood can produce long-lasting modifications within the brain is still debated. We aimed to assess the consequences of a single juvenile mild TBI (jmTBI) at 12 months post-injury in a mouse model. Non-invasive diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) revealed significant microstructural alterations in the hippocampus
