[PMID: 36773926 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148270] [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: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Prednisone acetate (PA) has many adverse side effects despite the fact that oral administration of PA is widely administrated in the clinic. However, it is unknown whether PA can cause hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) impairment. Therefore, in our study, PA (5 mg/kg·d) through intragastric administration (gavage) was applied to establish a model of impaired hippocampal LTP in C57BL/6 mice, and the method was evaluated by comparing with another method to establish LTP impairment through subcutaneous injection of corticosterone (CORT, 50 mg/kg·d). First, our results showed PA caused a more significant decrease in population spike (PS, %) after high-frequency stimulation (HFS) than CORT, demonstrating PA induced impairment of hippocampal LTP more successfully than CORT. Second, PA caused poorer performance of memory than CORT. Third, PA caused more serious lesions and loss of the granule cell in the dentate gyrus than CORT. Finally, PA caused lower levels of glutamic acid (Glu), N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) than CORT. All in all, PA (5 mg/kg·d) through intragastric administration (gavage) induced LTP impairment in the hippocampus more successfully than CORT. The neuronal lesions in the dentate gyrus and the consequent decrease of Glu and NMDARs (especially NMDAR2A) may be the cause of LTP impairment.

Neurosci Lett 2023; 802:137166.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients exhibit neuropathological features, such as amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and neurogenic fibrillary tangles. These features are thought to play important pathogenic roles, including neuronal dysfunction and apoptosis in the disease progression. Herein, we systematically evaluated a previously reported dual-target isoquinoline inhibitor (9S) for cholinesterase and Aβ aggregation in in vitro and in vivo models of AD. 9S exhibited neuroprotective effects in Aβ-induced and PHF6-induced PC12 cell models as well as in an okadaic acid-induced SH-SY5Y cell model, which were due to attenuated neuronal apoptosis through modulations of GSK-3β phosphorylation and reactive oxygen species. One-month administration of 9S to triple transgenic AD (3 × Tg-AD) female mice (aged 6 months) led to significant improvement in cognitive deficits. Whereas similar treatment regimens for older 3 × Tg-AD female mice (aged 10 months) showed negligible neuroprotective effects. These findings suggest the importance of therapeutic intervention at the early stage of the disease.

S100A9 amyloid growth and S100A9 fibril-induced impairment of gamma oscillations in area CA3 of mouse hippocampus ex vivo is prevented by Bri2 BRICHOS. Prog Neurobiol 2022; 219:102366. [PMID: 36273719 DOI: 10.1016/j.pneurobio.2022.102366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
The pro-inflammatory and highly amyloidogenic protein S100A9 is central to the amyloid-neuroinflammatory cascade in neurodegenerative diseases leading to cognitive impairment. Molecular chaperone activity of Bri2 BRICHOS has been demonstrated against a range of amyloidogenic polypeptides. Using a combination of thioflavin T fluorescence kinetic assay, atomic force microscopy and immuno electron microscopy we show here that recombinant Bri2 BRICHOS effectively inhibits S100A9 amyloid growth by capping amyloid fibrils. Using ex-vivo neuronal network electrophysiology in mouse brain slices we also show that both native S100A9 and amyloids of S100A9 disrupt cognition-relevant gamma oscillation power and rhythmicity in hippocampal area CA3 in a time- and protein conformation-dependent manner. Both effects were associated with Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation and were not observed upon TLR4 blockade. Importantly, S100A9 that had co-aggregated with Bri2 BRICHOS did not elicit degradation of gamma oscillations. Taken together, this work provides insights on the potential influence of S100A9 on cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) via gamma oscillation impairment from experimentally-induced gamma oscillations, and further highlights Bri2 BRICHOS as a chaperone against detrimental effects of amyloid self-assembly.

Abstract
Neurons are post-mitotic cells that allocate huge amounts of energy to the synthesis of new organelles and molecules, neurotransmission and to the maintenance of redox homeostasis. In neurons, autophagy is not only crucial to ensure organelle renewal but it is also essential to balance nutritional needs through the mobilization of internal energy stores. A delicate crosstalk between the pathways that sense nutritional status of the cell and the autophagic processes to recycle organelles and macronutrients is fundamental to guarantee the proper functioning of the neuron in times of energy scarcity. This review provides a detailed overview of the pathways and processes involved in the balance of cellular energy mediated by autophagy, which when defective, precipitate the neurodegenerative cascade of Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Alzheimer’s disease.
