Secondary impairment of blood-brain barrier (BBB) occurs in the remote thalamus after ischemic stroke. Netrin-1, an axonal guidance molecule, presents bifunctional effects on blood vessels through receptor-dependent pathways. This study investigates whether netrin-1 protects BBB against secondary injury. Netrin-1 (600 ng/d for 7 days) was intracerebroventricularly infused 24 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) hypertensive rats. Neurological function assessed 8 and 14 days MCAO,...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Cytoplasmic inclusions TDP-43 are frequently reported ALS patients. has also been shown to associate with stress granules (SGs), a complex proteins mRNAs formed response stimuli that temporarily sequester mRNA translation. The effect pathogenic mutations within glycine-rich regions (where majority ALS-causing occur) on SG dynamics poorly understood. To address this issue, we...
Abstract A central event in the pathogenesis of motor neuron disease (MND) is loss neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), yet mechanisms that lead to this MND remain be fully elucidated. Maintenance NMJ relies upon neural agrin ( n -agrin) which, when released from nerve terminal, activates postsynaptic Muscle Specific Kinase (MuSK) signaling complex stabilize clusters acetylcholine receptors. Here, we report muscle patients has an increased proportion slow fibers and with smaller diameter. cells...
This study investigated the role of mitochondrial dynamics in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and assessed therapeutic potential modulation, particularly through inhibition dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) with Mdivi-1. Our findings indicated that DRP1 substantially mitigated neuroinflammation mediated by microglial cells, contributing to improved function POCD models. The administration Mdivi-1 led a notable decrease fission, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production,...
A clear association between diabetes and cognitive impairment has been demonstrated in past studies, increasing the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases accelerating onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) other types dementia. Many hypothesized mechanisms leading to exist, mechanism insulin resistance demonstrated. Transnasal administration improves recall spatial memory healthy subjects addition verbal working memory, visuospatial delayed performance cognitively impaired patients. No safety...
Objectives: Coronary endothelial dysfunction has been described as a potential side effect of brain death. Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury during heart transplantation may lead to further damage. Protective effects α-1-antitrypsin (AAT), human neutrophil serine protease inhibitor, against IR have demonstrated. We hypothesized that physiological saline-supplemented AAT would protect brain-dead (BD) rats' vascular grafts from injury.
