Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy Abolishes Glioma-Associated Endothelial Cell-Induced Tumor Invasion
In this study, we aimed to explore the interaction between glioma-associated endothelial cells (GAEs) and glioma cells. We found that different subtypes of glioma owned distinct GAE abundance. Glioma patients with high GAE abundance exhibited poor prognosis. Both the results of the bioinformatics analysis and the in vitro co-culture system assay revealed that GAE promoted glioma cell invasion. Besides, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy partially abolished the effects of GAE on gliomas. Moreover, anti-VEGF therapy upregulated IL-2 expression in GAE, and exogenous IL-2 administration inhibits GAE-induced...

Lipopolysaccharide Exacerbates Ketamine-Induced Psychotic-Like Behavior, Oxidative Stress, and Neuroinflammation in Mice: Ameliorative Effect of Diosmin
AbstractSchizophrenia, a neuropsychiatric disorder has been associated with aberrant neurotransmission affecting behaviors, social preference, and cognition. Limitations in understanding its pathogenesis via the dopamine hypothesis have engendered other hypotheses such as the glutamate hypothesis. That antagonism of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) elicits schizophrenia-like behaviors indistinguishable from the disorder in animal and human models. There are growing concerns that redox imbalance and neuro-immuno dysfunction may play role in aggravating the symptomologies of this disorder. This 14-day treatment stud...

Normalization of HPA Axis, Cholinergic Neurotransmission, and Inhibiting Brain Oxidative and Inflammatory Dynamics Are Associated with The Adaptogenic-like Effect of Rutin Against Psychosocial Defeat Stress
In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of rutin, a bioflavonoid with neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory functions on neurobehavioral and neuro-biochemical changes in mice exposed to SDS. Groups of mice named the intruder mice received normal saline  (10 mL/kg), rutin (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, i.p.), and ginseng (50 mg/kg, i.p.) daily for 14 days, and then followed by 10 min daily SDS (physical/psychological) exposures to aggressor mice from days 7-14. Investigations consisting of neurobehavioral (locomotion, memory, anxiety, and depression)  phenotypes, neuro-biochemical (oxidative, nitrergic, chol...

Untargeted Metabolomic Analysis Reveals the Metabolic Disturbances and Exacerbation of Oxidative Stress in the Cerebral Cortex of a BTBR Mouse Model of Autism
AbstractThe etiology and pathology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are still poorly understood, which largely limit the treatment and diagnosis of ASDs. Emerging evidence supports that abnormal metabolites in the cerebral cortex of a BTBR mouse model of autism are involved in the pathogenesis of autism. However, systematic study on global metabolites in the cerebral cortex of BTBR mice has not been conducted. The current study aims to characterize metabolic changes in the cerebral cortex of BTBR mice by using an untargeted metabolomic approach based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. C57BL/6  J mice were used as a control group. A tot...

BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism: Suggested Genetic Involvement in Some Children with Learning Disorder
AbstractBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an essential role in neuronal survival, especially in areas responsible for memory and learning. The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism has been described as a cognitive modifier in people with neuropsychiatric disorders. BDNF levels have been found to be low in children with learning disorder (LD). However, Val66Met polymorphism has not been studied before in such children. The aim was to investigate the presence of BDNF val66Met polymorphism in a group of children with specific LD and to verify its impact on their cognitive abilities. The participants in this cross-sectional...
