A new metal ion chelator attenuates human tau accumulation-induced neurodegeneration and memory deficits in mice
Exp Neurol. 2023 Dec 21:114657. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114657. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuronal neurofibrillary tangles containing Tau hyperphosphorylation proteins are a typical pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The level of tangles in neurons correlates positively with severe dementia. However, how Tau induces cognitive dysfunction is still unknown, which leads to a lack of effective treatments for AD. Metal ions deposition occurs with tangles in AD brain autopsy. Reduced metal ion can improve the pathology of AD. To explore whether abnormally phosphorylated Tau causes metal ion deposition, we...

Research progress on post-stroke depression
This article summarizes the mechanism research, animal models and related treatments of PSD. Further improvements are needed in the screening of research subjects and the construction of animal models in the study of PSD. At the same time, in the study of the mechanism of PSD, we need to consider the interaction between multiple systems. The treatment of PSD requires more careful consideration. This can help us to find something new in the study of the mechanism of complex PSD, which provides a new direction for us to develop new treatment delivery.PMID:38141804 | DOI:10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114660 (Source: Experimental Neurology)

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation attenuated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress by activating SIRT1-induced signaling pathway in MCAO/R rat models
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, these findings clearly suggested that TEAS attenuated brain damage by suppressing apoptosis, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation through modulating SIRT1/FOXO3a and SIRT1/BRCC3/NLRP3 signaling pathways following ischemic stroke, which can be a promising treatment for stroke patients.PMID:38141805 | DOI:10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114658 (Source: Experimental Neurology)

Crosstalk between Nrf2 signaling pathway and inflammation in ischemic stroke: Mechanisms of action and therapeutic implications
Exp Neurol. 2023 Dec 16:114655. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114655. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the major causes of long-term disability and mortality is ischemic stroke that enjoys limited treatment approaches. On the one hand, oxidative stress, induced by excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a critical role in post-stroke inflammatory response. Increased ROS generation is one of the basic factors in the progression of stroke-induced neuroinflammation. Moreover, intravenous (IV) thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) as the only medication approved for patient...

Involvement of CKS1B in the anti-inflammatory effects of cannabidiol in experimental stroke models
Exp Neurol. 2023 Dec 15:114654. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114654. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe have previously demonstrated that treatment with cannabidiol (CBD) ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction and attenuates neuronal injury in rats following cerebral ischemia. However, the role of CBD in the progression of ischemic stroke-induced inflammation and the molecules involved remain unclear. Here, we found that CBD suppressed the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), reduced the activation of microglia, ameliorated mitochondrial deficits, and decreased the phosphorylation of ...

TREK-1 inhibition promotes synaptic plasticity in the prelimbic cortex
Exp Neurol. 2023 Dec 14:114652. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114652. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSynaptic plasticity is one of the putative mechanisms involved in the maturation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during postnatal development. Early life stress (ELS) affects the shaping of cortical circuitries through impairment of synaptic plasticity supporting the onset of mood disorders. Growing evidence suggests that dysfunctional postnatal maturation of the prelimbic division (PL) of the PFC might be related to the emergence of depression. The potassium channel TREK-1 has attracted particular interest among many factors...
