Abstract
TDP43 is an RNA/DNA binding protein increasingly recognized for its role in neurodegenerative conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). As characterized by its aberrant nuclear export and cytoplasmic aggregation, TDP43 proteinopathy is a hallmark feature in over 95% of ALS/FTD cases, leading to the formation of detrimental cytosolic aggregates and a reduction in nuclear functionality within neurons. Building on our prior work linking TDP43 proteinopathy to the accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in neurons, the present investigation uncovers a novel regulatory relationship between TDP43 and DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene expressions. Here, we show that TDP43 depletion or overexpression directly affects the expression of key MMR genes. Alterations include MLH1, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and PMS2 levels across various primary cell lines, independent of their proliferative status. Our results specifically establish that TDP43 selectively influences the expression of MLH1 and MSH6 by influencing their alternative transcript splicing patterns and stability. We furthermore find aberrant MMR gene expression is linked to TDP43 proteinopathy in two distinct ALS mouse models and post-mortem brain and spinal cord tissues of ALS patients. Notably, MMR depletion resulted in the partial rescue of TDP43 proteinopathy-induced DNA damage and signaling. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis of the TCGA cancer database reveals significant associations between TDP43 expression, MMR gene expression, and mutational burden across multiple cancers. Collectively, our findings implicate TDP43 as a critical regulator of the MMR pathway and unveil its broad impact on the etiology of both neurodegenerative and neoplastic pathologies.

Melatonin Enhanced Microglia M2 Polarization in Rat Model of Neuro-inflammation Via Regulating ER Stress/PPARδ/SIRT1 Signaling Axis. J Neuroimmune Pharmacol 2024; 19:11. [PMID: 38530514 DOI: 10.1007/s11481-024-10108-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Neuro-inflammation involves distinct alterations of microglial phenotypes, containing nocuous pro-inflammatory M1-phenotype and neuroprotective anti-inflammatory M-phenotype. Currently, there is no effective treatment for modulating such alterations. M1/M2 marker of primary microglia influenced by Melatonin were detected via qPCR. Functional activities were explored by western blotting, luciferase activity, EMSA, and ChIP assay. Structure interaction was assessed by molecular docking and LIGPLOT analysis. ER-stress detection was examined by ultrastructure TEM, calapin activity, and ERSE assay. The functional neurobehavioral evaluations were used for investigation of Melatonin on the neuroinflammation in vivo. Melatonin had targeted on Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Delta (PPARδ) activity, boosted LPS-stimulated alterations in polarization from the M1 to the M2 phenotype, and thereby inhibited NFκB-IKKβ activation in primary microglia. The PPARδ agonist L-165,041 or over-expression of PPARδ plasmid (ov-PPARδ) showed similar results. Molecular docking screening, dynamic simulation approaches, and biological studies of Melatonin showed that the activated site was located at PPARδ (phospho-Thr256-PPARδ). Activated microglia had lowered PPARδ activity as well as the downstream SIRT1 formation via enhancing ER-stress. Melatonin, PPARδ agonist and ov-PPARδ all effectively reversed the above-mentioned effects. Melatonin blocked ER-stress by regulating calapin activity and expression in LPS-activated microglia. Additionally, Melatonin or L-165,041 ameliorated the neurobehavioral deficits in LPS-aggravated neuroinflammatory mice through blocking microglia activities, and also promoted phenotype changes to M2-predominant microglia. Melatonin suppressed neuro-inflammation in vitro and in vivo by tuning microglial activation through the ER-stress-dependent PPARδ/SIRT1 signaling cascade. This treatment strategy is an encouraging pharmacological approach for the remedy of neuro-inflammation associated disorders.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a life-threatening condition with a high fatality rate and severe sequelae. However, there is currently no treatment available for intracerebral hemorrhage, unlike for other stroke subtypes. Recent studies have indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy likely relate to the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage. Mitophagy, or selective autophagy of mitochondria, is an essential pathway to preserve mitochondrial homeostasis by clearing up damaged mitochondria. Mitophagy markedly contributes to the reduction of secondary brain injury caused by mitochondrial dysfunction after intracerebral hemorrhage. This review provides an overview of the mitochondrial dysfunction that occurs after intracerebral hemorrhage and the underlying mechanisms regarding how mitophagy regulates it, and discusses the new direction of therapeutic strategies targeting mitophagy for intracerebral hemorrhage, aiming to determine the close connection between mitophagy and intracerebral hemorrhage and identify new therapies to modulate mitophagy after intracerebral hemorrhage. In conclusion, although only a small number of drugs modulating mitophagy in intracerebral hemorrhage have been found thus far, most of which are in the preclinical stage and require further investigation, mitophagy is still a very valid and promising therapeutic target for intracerebral hemorrhage in the long run.

GW0742 reduces mast cells degranulation and attenuates neurological impairments via PPAR β/δ/CD300a/SHP1 pathway after GMH in neonatal rats. Exp Neurol 2024; 372:114615. [PMID: 37995951 PMCID: PMC10842885 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of mast cells plays an important role in brain inflammation. CD300a, an inhibitory receptor located on mast cell surfaces, has been reported to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exert protective effects in inflammation-related diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor, activation upregulates the transcription of CD300a. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of PPARβ/δ in the attenuation of germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH)-induced mast cell activation via CD300a/SHP1 pathway. METHODS GMH model was induced by intraparenchymal injection of bacterial collagenase into the right hemispheric ganglionic eminence in P7 Sprague Dawley rats. GW0742, a PPARβ/δ agonist, was administered intranasally at 1 h post-ictus. CD300a small interfering RNA (siRNA) and PPARβ/δ siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly 5 days and 2 days before GMH induction. Behavioral tests, Western blot, immunofluorescence, Toluidine Blue staining, and Nissl staining were applied to assess post-GMH evaluation. RESULTS Results demonstrated that endogenous protein levels of PPARβ/δ and CD300a were decreased, whereas chymase, tryptase, IL-17A and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) were elevated after GMH. GMH induced significant short- and long-term neurobehavioral deficits in rat pups. GW0742 decreased mast cell degranulation, improved neurological outcomes, and attenuated ventriculomegaly after GMH. Additionally, GW0742 increased expression of PPARβ/δ, CD300a and phosphorylation of SHP1, decreased phosphorylation of Syk, chymase, tryptase, IL-17A and TGF-β1 levels. PPARβ/δ siRNA and CD300a siRNA abolished the beneficial effects of GW0742. CONCLUSIONS GW0742 inhibited mast cell-induced inflammation and improved neurobehavior after GMH, which is mediated by PPARβ/δ/CD300a/SHP1 pathway. GW0742 may serve as a potential treatment to reduce brain injury for GMH patients.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 121:155086. [PMID: 37783132 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is the main active component of "Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge, a synonym of Astragalus propinquus Schischkin (Fabaceae)", which demonstrated to be useful for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, due to the low bioavailability and barrier permeability of AS-IV, the gut microbiota may be an important key regulator for AS-IV to work. OBJECTIVE To explore the influences of gut microbiota on the effects of AS-IV on ICH. METHODS Mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham, ICH, and AS-IV-treated groups (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, and 100 mg/kg). Behavioral tests, brain histopathology, and immunohistochemistry analysis were used to evaluate the degree of brain injury. Western blot was employed to verify peri‑hematoma inflammation. The plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leakage, the fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran permeability, the colonic histopathology, and immunohistochemistry were detected to evaluate the barrier function of intestinal mucosal. Moreover, 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolomic analysis was applied to screen differential bacteria and metabolites, respectively. The correlation analysis was adopted to determine the potential relationship between differential bacteria and critical metabolites or neurological deficits. RESULTS AS-IV alleviated neurological deficits, neuronal injury and apoptosis, and blood-brain barrier disruption. This compound reduced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression, increased arginase (Arg)-1 and interleukin (IL)-33 levels around the hematoma. Next, 16S rRNA sequencing indicated that AS-IV altered the gut microbiota, and inhibited the production of conditional pathogenic bacteria. Metabolomic analysis demonstrated that AS-IV regulated the serum metabolic profiles, especially the aminoacid metabolism and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. Additionally, AS-IV mitigated intestinal barrier damage and LPS leakage. CONCLUSION This study provides a new perspective on the use of AS-IV for the treatment of ICH. Among them, gut microbiota and its metabolites may be the key regulator of AS-IV in treating ICH.

Abstract
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) includes neuropsychiatric disturbances related to gestational and lactational ethanol exposure. Available treatments are minimal and do not modulate ethanol-induced damage. Developing animal models simulating FASD is essential for understanding the underlying brain alterations and searching for efficient therapeutic approaches. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of early and chronic cannabidiol (CBD) administration on offspring exposed to an animal model of FASD. Ethanol gavage (3 g/kg/12 h, p.o.) was administered to C57BL/6 J female mice, with a previous history of alcohol consumption, between gestational day 7 and postnatal day 21. On the weaning day, pups were separated by sex, and CBD administration began (30 mg/kg/day, i.p.). After 4-6 weeks of treatment, behavioral and neurobiological changes were analyzed. Mice exposed to the animal model of FASD showed higher anxiogenic and depressive-like behaviors and cognitive impairment that were evaluated through several experimental tests. These behaviors were accompanied by alterations in the gene, cellular and metabolomic targets. CBD administration normalized FASD model-induced emotional and cognitive disturbances, gene expression, and cellular changes with sex-dependent differences. CBD modulates the metabolomic changes detected in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Interestingly, no changes were found in mitochondria or the oxidative status of the cells. These results suggest that the early and repeated administration of CBD modulated the long-lasting behavioral, gene and protein alterations induced by the FASD model, encouraging the possibility of performing clinical trials to evaluate the effects of CBD in children affected with FASD.

Abstract
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is thought to be associated with inflammation in many neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke and poststroke depression, but the role of IL-18 in inflammatory injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. In this study, we established the ICH model in male mice and found that IL-18 expression including protein and mRNA levels was significantly increased in brain tissues after ICH. Meanwhile, exogenous IL-18 exacerbated cerebral hematoma and neurological deficits following ICH. In the IL-18 knockout group, the size of hematoma and neurological functions after ICH was decreased compared with the wild-type group, suggesting the critical role of IL-18 on the modulation of brain injury after ICH. Importantly, exogenous IL-18 increased microglial activation in brain tissues after ICH. Furthermore, IL-18 knockout resulted in the reduction of activated microglia after ICH. These results indicated that IL-18 may regulate the inflammatory response after ICH through the activation of microglia. Thus, IL-18 is expected to be a promising therapeutic target for secondary brain injury after ICH.

Diet-Induced High Serum Levels of Trimethylamine-N-oxide Enhance the Cellular Inflammatory Response without Exacerbating Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage Injury in Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:1599747. [PMID: 35242275 PMCID: PMC8886754 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1599747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), an intestinal flora metabolite of choline, may aggravate atherosclerosis by inducing a chronic inflammatory response and thereby promoting the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases. Knowledge about the influence of TMAO-related inflammatory response on the pathological process of acute stroke is limited. This study was designed to explore the effects of TMAO on neuroinflammation, brain injury severity, and long-term neurologic function in mice with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We fed mice with either a regular chow diet or a chow diet supplemented with 1.2% choline pre- and post-ICH. In this study, we measured serum levels of TMAO with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at 24 h and 72 h post-ICH. The expression level of P38-mitogen-protein kinase (P38-MAPK), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), high-mobility group box1 protein (HMGB1), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) around hematoma was examined by western blotting at 24 h. Microglial and astrocyte activation and neutrophil infiltration were examined at 72 h. The lesion was examined on days 3 and 28. Neurologic deficits were examined for 28 days. A long-term choline diet significantly increased serum levels of TMAO compared with a regular diet at 24 h and 72 h after sham operation or ICH. Choline diet-induced high serum levels of TMAO did not enhance the expression of P38-MAPK, MyD88, HMGB1, or IL-1β at 24 h. However, it did increase the number of activated microglia and astrocytes around the hematoma at 72 h. Contrary to our expectations, it did not aggravate acute or long-term histologic damage or neurologic deficits after ICH. In summary, choline diet-induced high serum levels of TMAO increased the cellular inflammatory response probably by activating microglia and astrocytes. However, it did not aggravate brain injury or worsen long-term neurologic deficits. Although TMAO might be a potential risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases, this exploratory study did not support that TMAO is a promising target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain injury is a continuous pathological process that involves the deterioration of neurological functions, such as sensory, cognitive or motor functions. Cytotoxic byproducts of red blood cell lysis, especially free iron, appear to be a significant pathophysiologic mechanism leading to ICH-induced injury. Free iron has a crucial role in secondary brain injury after ICH. Chelating iron may attenuate iron-induced neurotoxicity and may be developed as a therapeutic candidate for ICH treatment. In this review, we focused on the potential role of iron toxicity in ICH-induced injury and iron chelation therapy in the management of ICH. It will hopefully advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of ICH and lead to new approaches for treatment.

The neuroprotective effect of phillyrin in intracerebral hemorrhagic mice is produced by activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Eur J Pharmacol 2021; 909:174439.

Abstract
Phillyrin, a natural plant extract, has significant antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. However, its effect on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated a potential role for phillyrin in the regulation of the oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by ICH. A model of ICH was induced by collagenase IV (0.2 U in 1 μl sterile normal saline) in male C57BL/6J (B6) mice and different doses of phillyrin (5, 15, or 30 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected at 30 min, 6 h, and 22 h after modeling. We found that phillyrin significantly reduced neural function and lesion volume, improved injury of white and grey matter around the lesion, decreased apoptosis and oxidative stress, increased the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and Superoxide Dismutase-1(SOD-1) in vitro and in vivo, and protected neurons from the stimulation of hemin by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Treatment with ML385 (Nrf2 inhibitor) completely reversed the protective effects of phillyrin in vivo after ICH injury. Based on our findings, we conclude that phillyrin treatment alleviates ICH injury-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway, highlighting a potential role for phillyrin as an ICH therapeutic.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) expression has been implicated in pathological states such as cancer, inflammation, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. We isolated natural PPAR agonists—eight 2,5-diketopiperazines—from the jellyfish-derived fungus Aspergillus flavus. Cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) was the most potent PPAR-γ activator among the eight 2,5-DKPs identified. Cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) activated PPAR-γ in Ac2F rat liver cells and SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The neuroprotective effect of this partial PPAR-γ agonist was examined using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, lactate dehydrogenase release, and the Hoechst 33342 staining assay in SH-SY5Y cells. Our findings revealed that cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) reduced hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species. Rhodamine 123 staining and western blotting revealed that cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) prevented the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited the activation of mitochondria-related apoptotic proteins, such as caspase 3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Moreover, cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) inhibited the activation and translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B. Thus, the partial PPAR-γ agonist cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) demonstrated potential neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration in SH-SY5Y cells.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) has high expression in the brain. Animal studies have shown that lncRNA plays an important role in brain functions and mediates the development of many neurological diseases. However, data on the expression of lncRNAs and the clinical significance in prematurely born infants with diseases such as periventricular white matter damage (PWMD) remains scant. Here, we compared the expression of the lncRNAs in whole blood samples obtained from prematurely born infants with PWMD with samples from prematurely born infants without PWMD. Our data demonstrated differential expression of the lncRNAs between the two groups. Further, we showed that the lncRNAs play important roles in the development of PWMD. Our findings give insights into the functions of the lncRNAs in PWMD and provide evidence for the improvement of diagnostic and treatment strategies in infants with PWMD.

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-δ Deficiency in Microglia Results in Exacerbated Axonal Injury and Tissue Loss in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. Front Immunol 2021; 12:570425.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-δ is a nuclear receptor that functions to maintain metabolic homeostasis, regulate cell growth, and limit the development of excessive inflammation during immune responses. Previously, we reported that PPAR-δ-deficient mice develop a more severe clinical course of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE); however, it was difficult to delineate the role that microglia played in this disease phenotype since PPAR-δ-deficient mice exhibited a number of immune defects that enhanced CNS inflammation upstream of microglia activation. Here, we specifically investigated the role of PPAR-δ in microglia during EAE by using mice where excision of a floxed Ppard allele was driven by expression of a tamoxifen (TAM)-inducible CX3C chemokine receptor 1 promoter-Cre recombinase transgene (Cx3cr1CreERT2: Ppardfl/fl). We observed that by 30 days of TAM treatment, Cx3cr1CreERT2: Ppardfl/fl mice exhibited Cre-mediated deletion primarily in microglia and this was accompanied by efficient knockdown of Ppard expression in these cells. Upon induction of EAE, TAM-treated Cx3cr1CreERT2: Ppardfl/fl mice presented with an exacerbated course of disease compared to TAM-treated Ppardfl/fl controls. Histopathological and magnetic resonance (MR) studies on the spinal cord and brains of EAE mice revealed increased Iba-1 immunoreactivity, axonal injury and CNS tissue loss in the TAM-treated Cx3cr1CreERT2: Ppardfl/fl group compared to controls. In early EAE, a time when clinical scores and the infiltration of CD45+ leukocytes was equivalent between Cx3cr1CreERT2: Ppardfl/fl and Ppardfl/fl mice, Ppard-deficient microglia exhibited a more reactive phenotype as evidenced by a shorter maximum process length and lower expression of genes associated with a homeostatic microglia gene signature. In addition, Ppard-deficient microglia exhibited increased expression of genes associated with reactive oxygen species generation, phagocytosis and lipid clearance, M2-activation, and promotion of inflammation. Our results therefore suggest that PPAR-δ has an important role in microglia in limiting bystander tissue damage during neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a destructive form of stroke that often results in death or disability. However, the survivors usually experience sequelae of neurological impairments and psychiatric disorders, which affect their daily functionality and working capacity. The recent MISTIE III and STICH II trials have confirmed that early surgical clearance of hematomas does not improve the prognosis of survivors of ICH, so it is vital to find the intervention target of secondary brain injury (SBI) after ICH. Mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be induced by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and autophagy, among others, is considered to be a novel pathological mechanism of ICH. Moreover, mitochondria play an important role in promoting neuronal survival and improving neurological function after a hemorrhagic stroke. This review summarizes the mitochondrial mechanism involved in cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, inflammatory activation, blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and brain edema underlying ICH. We emphasize the potential of mitochondrial protection as a potential therapeutic target for SBI after stroke and provide valuable insight into clinical strategies.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a dynamic wound-healing process associated with the deposition of extracellular matrix produced by myofibroblasts. HSCs activation, inflammation, oxidative stress, steatosis and aging play critical roles in the progression of liver fibrosis, which is correlated with the regulation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway. As nuclear receptors, PPARs reduce inflammatory response, regulate lipid metabolism, and inhibit fibrogenesis in the liver associated with aging. Thus, PPAR ligands have been investigated as possible therapeutic agents. Mounting evidence indicated that some PPAR agonists could reverse steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis. Consequently, targeting PPARs might be a promising and novel therapeutic option against liver fibrosis. This review summarizes recent studies on the role of PPARs on the pathogenesis and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ belongs to the family of hormone and lipid-activated nuclear receptors, which are involved in metabolism of long-chain fatty acids, cholesterol, and sphingolipids. Similar to PPAR-α and PPAR-γ, PPAR-β/δ also acts as a transcription factor activated by dietary lipids and endogenous ligands, such as long-chain saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and selected lipid metabolic products, such as eicosanoids, leukotrienes, lipoxins, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. Together with other PPARs, PPAR-β/δ displays transcriptional activity through interaction with retinoid X receptor (RXR). In general, PPARs have been shown to regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and development and significantly modulate glucose, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and biogenesis. PPAR-β/δ appears to play a special role in inflammatory processes and due to its proangiogenic and anti-/pro-carcinogenic properties, this receptor has been considered as a therapeutic target for treating metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, carcinogenesis, and diabetes. Until now, most studies were carried out in the peripheral organs, and despite of its presence in brain cells and in different brain regions, its role in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation remains poorly understood. This review is intended to describe recent insights on the impact of PPAR-β/δ and its novel agonists on neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, Huntington’s diseases, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and traumatic injury. An important goal is to obtain new insights to better understand the dietary and pharmacological regulations of PPAR-β/δ and to find promising therapeutic strategies that could mitigate these neurological disorders.
