Advanced glycation end-product crosslinking activates a type VI secretion system phospholipase effector protein

Advanced glycation end-products (AGE) are a pervasive form of protein damage implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease, atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Glycation is typically mediated by reactive dicarbonyl compounds that accumulate in all cells as toxic byproducts of glucose metabolism. Here, we show that AGE crosslinking is harnessed to activate an antibacterial phospholipase effector protein deployed by the type VI secretion system of Enterobacter cloacae. Endogenous methylglyoxal reacts with a specific arginine-lysine pair to tether the N- and C-terminal α-helices of the phospholipase domain. Substitutions at these positions abrogate both crosslinking and toxic phospholipase activity, but in vitro enzyme function can be restored with an engineered disulfide that covalently links the N- and C-termini. Thus, AGE crosslinking serves as a bona fide post-translation modification to stabilize phospholipase structure. Given the ubiquity of methylglyoxal in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, these findings suggest that glycation may be exploited more generally to stabilize other proteins. This alternative strategy to fortify tertiary structure could be particularly advantageous in the cytoplasm, where redox potentials preclude disulfide bond formation.

Scoping review of epigenetics on neurodegenerative diseases: research frontiers and publication status.

Epigenetics has significantly evolved and emerged as important players in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. However, a scientometric synthesis of such changes over time is currently lacking. We conducted a comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection from inception until November 5, 2022, using appropriate keywords. Our primary objective was to employ scientometric analysis to depict changes in keywords over time and to assess the structure and credibility of clusters. Additionally, we examined the network of research (countries, institutions, and authors) using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. We identified 25 clusters with well-structured networks (Q = 0.82) and highly credible clustering (S = 0.91) from 16,181 articles published between 1999 and 2022. Our findings are as follows: (a) the literature and research interest concerning the epigenetics of neurodegenerative diseases are continuously growing; (b) the three most productive countries are the USA, China, and Germany; (c) international collaborative relationships exist, alongside small, isolated collaboration networks of individual institutions. The number and impact of global publications on the epigenetics of neurodegenerative diseases have expanded rapidly over the past 20 years. This review provides valuable guidelines for researchers interested in neurodegenerative diseases research.

Analysis of Expression of the GRIPAP1, DLG4, KIF1B, NGFRAP1, and NRF1 Genes in Peripheral Blood of the Patients with Parkinson's Disease in the Early Clinical Stages.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative diseases. Animportant feature of the disease is its long latent period, which necessitates search for prognostic biomarkers. One method of identifying biomarkers of PD is to study changes in gene expression in peripheral blood of the patients in early stages of the disease and have not been treated. In this study, we analyzed relative mRNA levels of the genes GRIPAP1, DLG4, KIF1B, NGFRAP1, and NRF1, which are associated with neurotransmitter transport, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction, in the peripheral blood of PD patients using reverse transcription and real-time PCR with TaqMan probes. The results of this study suggest that the GRIPAP1 and DLG4 genes could be considered as potential biomarkers for the early clinical stages of Parkinson's disease. The data obtained may indicate that NGFRAP1 is involved in pathogenesis of both PD and other neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, in the early clinical stages of the disease we studied, the KIF1B and NRF1 genes were found not to be involved in PD pathogenesis at the expression level.

Assessment and Evaluation of Contemporary Approaches for Astrocyte Differentiation from hiPSCs: A Modeling Paradigm for Alzheimer's Disease

BackgroundAstrocytes have recently gained attention as key players in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Numerous differentiation protocols have been developed to study human astrocytes in vitro. However, the properties of the resulting glia are inconsistent, making it difficult to select an appropriate method for a given research question. Therefore, we compared three approaches for the generation of iPSC-derived astrocytes. We performed a detailed analysis using a widely used long serum-free (LSFP) and short serum-free (SSFP) protocol, as well as a TUSP protocol using serum for a limited time of differentiation.ResultsWe used RNA sequencing and immunochemistry to characterize the cultures. Astrocytes generated by the LSFP and SSFP methods differed significantly in their characteristics from those generated by the TUSP method using serum. The TUSP astrocytes had a less neuronal pattern, showed a higher degree of extracellular matrix formation, and were more mature. The short-term presence of FBS in the medium facilitated the induction of astroglia characteristics but did not result in reactive astrocytes. Data from cell-type deconvolution analysis applied to bulk transcriptomes from the cultures assessed their similarity to primary and fetal human astrocytes.ConclusionsOverall, our analyses highlight the need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of a given differentiation protocol for solving specific research tasks or drug discovery studies with iPSC-derived astrocytes.

The role of neuron-like cell lines and primary neuron cell models in unraveling the complexity of neurodegenerative diseases: a comprehensive review.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons. As to developing effective therapeutic interventions, it is crucial to understand the underlying mechanisms of NDs. Cellular models have become invaluable tools for studying the complex pathogenesis of NDs, offering insights into disease mechanisms, determining potential therapeutic targets, and aiding in drug discovery. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various cellular models used in ND research, focusing on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Cell lines, such as SH-SY5Y and PC12 cells, have emerged as valuable tools due to their ease of use, reproducibility, and scalability. Additionally, co-culture models, involving the growth of distinct cell types like neurons and astrocytes together, are highlighted for simulating brain interactions and microenvironment. While cell lines cannot fully replicate the complexity of the human brain, they provide a scalable method for examining important aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. Advancements in cell line technologies, including the incorporation of patient-specific genetic variants and improved co-culture models, hold promise for enhancing our understanding and expediting the development of effective treatments. Integrating multiple cellular models and advanced technologies offers the potential for significant progress in unraveling the intricacies of these debilitating diseases and improving patient outcomes.

Mitochondria-targeting Cu2-xSe-TPP with dual enzyme activity alleviates Alzheimer's disease by modulating oxidative stress

Mitochondrial dysfunction in microglia has been implicated as a key pathogenesis of most neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abnormal production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neuroinflammation caused by mitochondrial oxidative stress are important factors leading to neuronal death in AD. Herein, a "dual brake" strategy to synergistically halt mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation targeting mitochondria in microglia is proposed. To achieve this goal, (3-carboxypropyl) triphenyl-phosphonium bromide (TPP)-modified Cu2-xSe nanozymes (Cu2-xSe-TPP NPs) with dual enzyme-like activities was designed. Cu2-xSe-TPP NPs with superoxide dismutase-mimetic (SOD) and catalase-mimetic (CAT) activities can effectively scavenge ROS in the mitochondria of microglia and relieve mitochondrial oxidative stress. In vivo studies demonstrated that Cu2-xSe-TPP NPs can alleviate oxidative stress and promote neuroprotection in the hippocampus of AD model mice. In addition, Cu2-xSe-TPP NPs can regulate the polarization of microglia from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, promote Aβ phagocytosis and reshape the AD inflammatory microenvironment, thus effectively attenuating AD neuropathology and rescuing cognitive deficits in AD model mice. Taken together, this strategy preventing mitochondrial damage and remodeling the inflammatory microenvironment will provide a new perspective for AD therapy.

Transport and Kinetic Property of the Butyric Acid in Water: A Simulation Study

Microbiota is defined as a class of all microorganisms which includes fungi, protozoa, bacteria and viruses. About 90 % of all microbiota in our body are found in our gut that regulates host immunity. The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that allows gut microbiota to communicate with the brain and vice versa. Studies suggest that the gut dysbiosis may enhance neurotoxic substances such as short-chain fatty-acids (SCFAs which are acetate, propionate, and butyrate) to the blood circulation and even to the brain through damaged blood brain barrier (BBB) and may cause protein aggregation which are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), prion disease, motor neuron disease, Huntington’s disease (HD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Specifically, butyric acid are the main SCFA product that may impact on gut health. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the transport and kinetic properties such as diffusion coefficient, activation energy and radial distribution function of butyric acid in water at different temperatures through molecular dynamics simulations. The self and binary diffusion coefficient of butyric acid in water obtained from our MD simulation are found to be 0.8699×10−9m2s−1 and 0.8714×10−9m2s−1, respectively at 300 K and the activation energy for self-diffusion coefficient of water estimated from the slope of ln(D) versus 1/T is equal to 16.07 kJ/mol. Our results are in accordance with those obtained from the experimental values. This study offers an alternate approach to researching the diffusion of butyric acid in living organisms. This knowledge contributes to advancements in various fields, including nutrition, gastroenterology, microbiology, and pharmacology.

Extracellular vesicle and CRISPR gene therapy: Current applications in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive deterioration of the nervous system. Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington's disease (HD) are prominently life-threatening examples of neurodegenerative diseases. The complexity of the pathophysiology in neurodegenerative diseases causes difficulties in diagnosing. Although the drugs temporarily help to correct specific symptoms including memory loss and degeneration, a complete treatment has not been found yet. New therapeutic approaches have been developed to understand and treat the underlying pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. With this purpose, clustered-regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) technology has recently suggested a new treatment option. Editing of the genome is carried out by insertion and deletion processes on DNA. Safe delivery of the CRISPR/Cas system to the targeted cells without affecting surrounding cells is frequently investigated. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), that is exosomes, have recently been used in CRISPR/Cas studies. In this review, CRISPR/Cas and EV approaches used for diagnosis and/or treatment in AD, PD, ALS, and HD are reviewed. CRISPR/Cas and EV technologies, which stand out as new therapeutic approaches, may offer a definitive treatment option in neurodegenerative diseases.

Location and function of TDP-43 in platelets, alterations in neurodegenerative diseases and arising considerations for current plasma biobank protocols

The TAR DNA Binding Protein 43 (TDP-43) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human neurodegenerative diseases and exhibits hallmark neuropathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we explore its tractability as a plasma biomarker of disease and describe its localization and possible functions in the cytosol of platelets. Novel TDP-43 immunoassays were developed on three different technical platforms and qualified for specificity, signal-to-noise ratio, detection range, variation, spike recovery and dilution linearity in human plasma samples. Surprisingly, implementation of these assays demonstrated that biobank-archived plasma samples yielded considerable heterogeneity in TDP-43 levels. Importantly, subsequent investigation attributed these differences to variable platelet recovery. Fractionations of fresh blood revealed that ≥ 95% of the TDP-43 in platelet-containing plasma was compartmentalized within the platelet cytosol. We reasoned that this highly concentrated source of TDP-43 comprised an interesting substrate for biochemical analyses. Additional characterization of platelets revealed the presence of the disease-associated phosphoserine 409/410 TDP-43 proteoform and many neuron- and astrocyte-expressed TDP-43 mRNA targets. Considering these striking similarities, we propose that TDP-43 may serve analogous functional roles in platelets and synapses, and that the study of platelet TDP-43 might provide a window into disease-related TDP-43 dyshomeostasis in the central nervous system.

Significance of Programmed Cell Death Pathways in Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a form of cell death distinct from accidental cell death (ACD) and is also referred to as regulated cell death (RCD). Typically, PCD signaling events are precisely regulated by various biomolecules in both spatial and temporal contexts to promote neuronal development, establish neural architecture, and shape the central nervous system (CNS), although the role of PCD extends beyond the CNS. Abnormalities in PCD signaling cascades contribute to the irreversible loss of neuronal cells and function, leading to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we summarize the molecular processes and features of different modalities of PCD, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and other novel forms of PCD, and their effects on the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stroke. Additionally, we examine the key factors involved in these PCD signaling pathways and discuss the potential for their development as therapeutic targets and strategies. Therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting the inhibition or facilitation of PCD signaling pathways offer a promising approach for clinical applications in treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Mitochondrial Aconitase and Its Contribution to the Pathogenesis of Neurodegenerative Diseases.

This survey reviews modern ideas on the structure and functions of mitochondrial and cytosolic aconitase isoenzymes in eukaryotes. Cumulative experimental evidence about mitochondrial aconitases (Aco2) as one of the main targets of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species is generalized. The important role of Aco2 in maintenance of homeostasis of the intracellular iron pool and maintenance of the mitochondrial DNA is discussed. The role of Aco2 in the pathogenesis of some neurodegenerative diseases is highlighted. Inactivation or dysfunction of Aco2 as well as mutations found in the ACO2 gene appear to be significant factors in the development and promotion of various types of neurodegenerative diseases. A restoration of efficient mitochondrial functioning as a source of energy for the cell by targeting Aco2 seems to be one of the promising therapeutic directions to minimize progressive neurodegenerative disorders.

Astrocyte-neuron communication through the complement C3-C3aR pathway in Parkinson’s disease

Neuroinflammation and autoimmunity are pivotal in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Complement activation and involvement of astrocyte-neuron C3/C3aR pathway have been observed, yet the mechanisms influencing α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology and neurodegeneration remain unclear. In this study, elevated levels of complement C3 were detected in the plasma of α-syn PFF-induced mice and the substantia nigra of A53T transgenic mice. Colocalization of complement C3 with astrocytes was also observed. Overexpression of complement C3 exacerbated motor dysfunction, dopaminergic neuron loss, and phosphorylated α-syn expression in mice injected with α-syn preformed fibrils (α-syn PFFs). Conversely, downregulation of complement C3 protected α-syn PFF-induced mice. Molecular investigations revealed that inhibition of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) or NF-κB reduced complement C3 expression in primary astrocytes following α-syn PFF treatment. Astrocyte-neuron communication via the C3/C3aR pathway influenced α-syn PFF-induced neuronal apoptosis and α-syn pathology, potentially through modulation of GSK3β. These findings underscore the critical role of astrocyte-neuron communication via the C3/C3aR pathway in PD pathogenesis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.

Heteromeric amyloid filaments of ANXA11 and TDP-43 in FTLD-TDP type C

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the abnormal filamentous assembly of specific proteins in the central nervous system1. Human genetic studies have established a causal role for protein assembly in neurodegeneration2. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown, which is limiting progress in developing clinical tools for these diseases. Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy have enabled the structures of the protein filaments to be determined from the brains of patients1. All neurodegenerative diseases studied to date have been characterized by the self-assembly of proteins in homomeric amyloid filaments, including that of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions (FTLD-TDP) types A and B3,4. Here we used cryo-electron microscopy to determine filament structures from the brains of individuals with FTLD-TDP type C, one of the most common forms of sporadic FTLD-TDP. Unexpectedly, the structures revealed that a second protein, annexin A11 (ANXA11), co-assembles with TDP-43 in heteromeric amyloid filaments. The ordered filament fold is formed by TDP-43 residues G282/G284–N345 and ANXA11 residues L39–Y74 from their respective low-complexity domains. Regions of TDP-43 and ANXA11 that were previously implicated in protein–protein interactions form an extensive hydrophobic interface at the centre of the filament fold. Immunoblots of the filaments revealed that the majority of ANXA11 exists as an approximately 22 kDa N-terminal fragment lacking the annexin core domain. Immunohistochemistry of brain sections showed the colocalization of ANXA11 and TDP-43 in inclusions, redefining the histopathology of FTLD-TDP type C. This work establishes a central role for ANXA11 in FTLD-TDP type C. The unprecedented formation of heteromeric amyloid filaments in the human brain revises our understanding of amyloid assembly and may be of significance for the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

DBT is a metabolic switch for maintenance of proteostasis under proteasomal impairment

Proteotoxic stress impairs cellular homeostasis and underlies the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The proteasomal and autophagic degradation of proteins are two major pathways for protein quality control in the cell. Here, we report a genome-wide CRISPR screen uncovering a major regulator of cytotoxicity resulting from the inhibition of the proteasome. Dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2 (DBT) was found to be a robust suppressor, the loss of which protects against proteasome inhibition-associated cell death through promoting clearance of ubiquitinated proteins. Loss of DBT altered the metabolic and energetic status of the cell and resulted in activation of autophagy in an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent mechanism in the presence of proteasomal inhibition. Loss of DBT protected against proteotoxicity induced by ALS-linked mutant TDP-43 in Drosophila and mammalian neurons. DBT is upregulated in the tissues of ALS patients. These results demonstrate that DBT is a master switch in the metabolic control of protein quality control with implications in neurodegenerative diseases.

Research progress on exosomes and their non-coding RNAs in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases, originating from irreversible progressive loss of neuronal structure or function, are difficult to diagnose and treat. They vary widely in scope and have poor prevention and prognosis. Therefore, research on their early diagnosis is particularly important. Exosomes are small vesicles of cellular origin that contain various bioactive small molecules, such as proteins, RNAs, and DNAs, and play important roles in intercellular communication. Recent studies have shown that exosomes and their non-coding RNAs are key factors in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, exosomes and their non-coding RNAs may provide a breakthrough for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarizes the biology of exosomes and the current research progress of exosomes and their non-coding RNAs in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases and further explores the challenges and prospects they face.

Impact of Peptide Transport and Memory Function in the Brain.

Recent studies have reported the benefits of food-derived peptides for memory dysfunction. Beyond the physiological effects of peptides, their bioavailability to the brain still remains unclear since the blood-brain barrier (BBB) strictly controls the transportation of compounds to the brain. Here, updated transportation studies on BBB transportable peptides are introduced and evaluated using in vitro BBB models, in situ perfusion, and in vivo mouse experiments. Additionally, the mechanisms of action of brain health peptides in relation to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, are discussed. This discussion follows a summary of bioactive peptides with neuroprotective effects that can improve cognitive decline through various mechanisms, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, anti-amyloid β aggregation, and neurotransmitter regulation.

A Drosophila model for mechanistic investigation of tau protein spread.

Brain protein aggregates are a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. Previous work indicates that specific protein components of these aggregates are toxic, including tau (encoded by MAPT) in Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies. Increasing evidence also indicates that these toxic proteins traffic between cells in a prion-like fashion, thereby spreading pathology from one brain region to another. However, the mechanisms involved in trafficking are poorly understood. We therefore developed a transgenic Drosophila model to facilitate rapid evaluation of candidate tau trafficking modifiers. Our model uses the bipartite Q system to drive co-expression of tau and GFP in the fly eye. We found age-dependent spread of tau into the brain, represented by detection of tau, but not of GFP. We also found that tau trafficking was attenuated upon inhibition of the endocytic factor dynamin (encoded by shi) or knockdown of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β, encoded by sgg). Further work revealed that dynamin promoted tau uptake in recipient tissues, whereas GSK-3β appeared to promote tau spread via direct phosphorylation of tau. Our robust and flexible system will promote the identification of tau-trafficking components involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Redox Homeostasis, Gut Microbiota, and Epigenetics in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Systematic Review.

Neurodegenerative diseases encompass a spectrum of disorders marked by the progressive degeneration of the structure and function of the nervous system. These conditions, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Multiple sclerosis (MS), often lead to severe cognitive and motor deficits. A critical component of neurodegenerative disease pathologies is the imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant mechanisms, culminating in oxidative stress. The brain's high oxygen consumption and lipid-rich environment make it particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage. Pro-oxidants such as reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated during normal metabolism, counteracted by enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses. In neurodegenerative diseases, this balance is disrupted, leading to neuronal damage. This systematic review explores the roles of oxidative stress, gut microbiota, and epigenetic modifications in neurodegenerative diseases, aiming to elucidate the interplay between these factors and identify potential therapeutic strategies. We conducted a comprehensive search of articles published in 2024 across major databases, focusing on studies examining the relationships between redox homeostasis, gut microbiota, and epigenetic changes in neurodegeneration. A total of 161 studies were included, comprising clinical trials, observational studies, and experimental research. Our findings reveal that oxidative stress plays a central role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, with gut microbiota composition and epigenetic modifications significantly influencing redox balance. Specific bacterial taxa and epigenetic markers were identified as potential modulators of oxidative stress, suggesting novel avenues for therapeutic intervention. Moreover, recent evidence from human and animal studies supports the emerging concept of targeting redox homeostasis through microbiota and epigenetic therapies. Future research should focus on validating these targets in clinical settings and exploring the potential for personalized medicine strategies based on individual microbiota and epigenetic profiles.

Inhibition of amyloid beta oligomer, fibrils, and peptide using nanoparticles to disrupt Alzheimer's pathogenesis.

The Aβ peptide, which is connected to the development of Alzheimer's disease, forms highly neurotoxic prefibrillar oligomeric aggregates, which are challenging to study due to their fleeting, low prevalence, and diverse nature. These aggregates are considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. The potential approach of blocking or disrupting the buildup of amyloid peptides, particularly amyloid-β (AβOs), by using nanoparticles that specifically bind or prevent their aggregation to develop new medications and treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) could be a promising solution. Nanoparticles have been proposed as a potential solution to modify the protein fibrillation process. Recently, Researchers have design and created some nanoparticles for inhibition of amyloid-β oligomer and (Aβ) peptide aggregation, involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this concise review, we concentrated on the mechanism and formation of amyloid beta oligomers, fibrils, peptides, and it’s role in Alzheimer's disease. Secondly, we discussed small molecules that can detect various forms of amyloid beta for early diagnosis. Lastly, we primarily focused on nanoparticles that possess the ability to inhibit and disaggregate amyloid beta oligomers fibrils, and peptide which are the primary hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Here for the first time we also summarize some of the nanoparticles and nanomaterials which can dis-aggregate the exis-ting amyloid-β oligomer and (Aβ) peptide which are challenging for many researcher.
