Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal neurological illness that worsens with time. Preventing the aggregate formation of amyloid beta protein is a promising approach to treat Alzheimer's disease. This article describes an amiable procedure for the synthesis of Olesoxime-Resveratrol (OLX-RSV) encapsulated in exosomes. By suppressing Aβ1-42 aggregation and crossing the blood-brain barrier also known as BBB after intravenous treatment without resulting in any discernible damage, the nanocomposite demonstrated good biocompatibility. A variety of characterization technique including particle size, TEM, and in vitro drug release experiments, were used to characterize the exosomes. Human Neuroblastoma (SHSY5Y) cells were used to test the cytotoxicity and viability of cells of the formulation using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The prepared OLX-RSV-loaded exosomes were tested for their ability to suppress Aβ1-42 in SHSY5Y Cells by analyzing the amyloid samples using CD spectra. The effects of apoptosis on Human neuroblastoma cells were studied using cytofluorometry. The parameters of SOD, caspase-3 and the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also evaluated. The behavioral outcomes of Morris water maze test demonstrated that OLX-RSV-loaded exosomes significantly enhanced the APP/PS1 mice's capacity to learn and remember spatial cues. Therefore, we hypothesized that OLX-RSV-loaded exosomes could be a useful and efficient method in the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Cholesterol is a key molecule for synaptic transmission, and both central and peripheral synapses are cholesterol rich. During intense neuronal activity, a substantial portion of synaptic cholesterol can be oxidized by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways to form oxysterols, which in turn modulate the activities of neurotransmitter receptors (e.g., NMDA and adrenergic receptors), signaling molecules (nitric oxide synthases, protein kinase C, liver X receptors), and synaptic vesicle cycling involved in neurotransmitters release. 24-Hydroxycholesterol, produced by neurons in the brain, could directly affect neighboring synapses and change neurotransmission. 27-Hydroxycholesterol, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, can alter both synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Increased generation of 25-hydroxycholesterol by activated microglia and macrophages could link inflammatory processes to learning and neuronal regulation. Amyloids and oxidative stress can lead to an increase in the levels of ring-oxidized sterols and some of these oxysterols (4-cholesten-3-one, 5α-cholestan-3-one, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol) have a high potency to disturb or modulate neurotransmission at both the presynaptic and postsynaptic levels. Overall, oxysterols could be used as "molecular prototypes" for therapeutic approaches. Analogs of 24-hydroxycholesterol (SGE-301, SGE-550, SAGE718) can be used for correction of NMDA receptor hypofunction-related states, whereas inhibitors of cholesterol 24-hydroxylase, cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol, and cholest-4-en-3-one oxime (olesoxime) can be utilized as potential anti-epileptic drugs and (or) protectors from excitotoxicity.

Abstract
Membrane cholesterol oxidation is a hallmark of redox and metabolic imbalance, and it may accompany neurodegenerative disorders. Using microelectrode recordings of postsynaptic responses as well as fluorescent dyes for monitoring synaptic vesicle cycling and membrane properties, the action of enzymatic cholesterol oxidation on neuromuscular transmission was studied in the mice diaphragms. Cholesterol oxidase (ChO) at low concentration disturbed lipid-ordering specifically in the synaptic membranes, but it did not change markedly spontaneous exocytosis and evoked release in response to single stimuli. At low external Ca2+ conditions, analysis of single exocytotic events revealed a decrease in minimal synaptic delay and the probability of exocytosis upon plasmalemmal cholesterol oxidation. At moderate- and high-frequency activity, ChO treatment enhanced both neurotransmitter and FM-dye release. Furthermore, it precluded a change in exocytotic mode from full-fusion to kiss-and-run during high-frequency stimulation. Accumulation of extracellular acetylcholine (without stimulation) dependent on vesamicol-sensitive transporters was suppressed by ChO. The effects of plasmalemmal cholesterol oxidation on both neurotransmitter/dye release at intense activity and external acetylcholine levels were reversed when synaptic vesicle membranes were also exposed to ChO (i.e., the enzyme treatment was combined with induction of exo-endocytotic cycling). Thus, we suggest that plasmalemmal cholesterol oxidation affects exocytotic machinery functioning, enhances synaptic vesicle recruitment to the exocytosis and decreases extracellular neurotransmitter levels at rest, whereas ChO acting on synaptic vesicle membranes suppresses the participation of the vesicles in the subsequent exocytosis and increases the neurotransmitter leakage. The mechanisms underlying ChO action can be related to the lipid raft disruption.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is manifested as skeletal muscle denervation, loss of motor neurons and finally severe respiratory failure. Mutations of RNA-binding protein FUS are one of the common genetic reasons of ALS accompanied by a 'dying back' type of degeneration. Using fluorescent approaches and microelectrode recordings, the early structural and functional alterations in diaphragm neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) were studied in mutant FUS mice at the pre-onset stage. Lipid peroxidation and decreased staining with a lipid raft marker were found in the mutant mice. Despite the preservation of the end-plate structure, immunolabeling revealed an increase in levels of presynaptic proteins, SNAP-25 and synapsin 1. The latter can restrain Ca2+-dependent synaptic vesicle mobilization. Indeed, neurotransmitter release upon intense nerve stimulation and its recovery after tetanus and compensatory synaptic vesicle endocytosis were markedly depressed in FUS mice. There was a trend to attenuation of axonal [Ca2+]in increase upon nerve stimulation at 20 Hz. However, no changes in neurotransmitter release and the intraterminal Ca2+ transient in response to low frequency stimulation or in quantal content and the synchrony of neurotransmitter release at low levels of external Ca2+ were detected. At a later stage, shrinking and fragmentation of end plates together with a decrease in presynaptic protein expression and disturbance of the neurotransmitter release timing occurred. Overall, suppression of synaptic vesicle exo-endocytosis upon intense activity probably due to alterations in membrane properties, synapsin 1 levels and Ca2+ kinetics could be an early sign of nascent NMJ pathology, which leads to neuromuscular contact disorganization.

Abstract
AIMS Sphingomyelin is an abundant component of the presynaptic membrane and an organizer of lipid rafts. In several pathological conditions, sphingomyelin is hydrolyzed due to an upregulation and release of secretory sphingomyelinases (SMases). Herein, the effects of SMase on exocytotic neurotransmitter release were studied in the diaphragm neuromuscular junctions of mice. MAIN METHODS Microelectrode recordings of postsynaptic potentials and styryl (FM) dyes were used to estimate neuromuscular transmission. Membrane properties were assessed with fluorescent techniques. KEY FINDINGS Application of SMase at a low concentration (0.01 U ml-1) led to a disruption of lipid-packing in the synaptic membranes. Neither spontaneous exocytosis nor evoked neurotransmitter release (in response to single stimuli) were affected by SMase treatment. However, SMase significantly increased neurotransmitter release and the rate of fluorescent FM-dye loss from the synaptic vesicles at 10, 20 and 70 Hz stimulation of the motor nerve. In addition, SMase treatment prevented a shift of the exocytotic mode from "full-collapse" fusion to "kiss-and-run" during high-frequency (70 Hz) activity. The potentiating effects of SMase on neurotransmitter release and FM-dye unloading were suppressed when synaptic vesicle membranes were also exposed to this enzyme (i.e., stimulation occurred during SMase treatment). SIGNIFICANCE Thus, hydrolysis of the plasma membrane sphingomyelin can enhance mobilization of synaptic vesicles and facilitate full fusion mode of exocytosis, but SMase acting on vesicular membrane had a depressant effect on the neurotransmission. Partially, the effects of SMase can be related with the changes in synaptic membrane properties and intracellular signaling.

Abstract
Cholesterol is an essential component of plasma membrane and precursor of biological active compounds, including hydroxycholesterols (HCs). HCs regulate cellular homeostasis of cholesterol; they can pass across the membrane and vascular barriers and act distantly as para- and endocrine agents. A small amount of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) is produced in the endoplasmic reticulum of most cells, where it serves as a potent regulator of the synthesis, intracellular transport, and storage of cholesterol. Production of 25-HC is strongly increased in the macrophages, dendrite cells, and microglia at the inflammatory response. The synthesis of 25-HC can be also upregulated in some neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spastic paraplegia type 5, and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. However, it is unclear whether 25-HC aggravates these pathologies or has the protective properties. The molecular targets for 25-HC are transcriptional factors (LX receptors, SREBP2, ROR), G protein-coupled receptor (GPR183), ion channels (NMDA receptors, SLO1), adhesive molecules (α5β1 and ανβ3 integrins), and oxysterol-binding proteins. The diversity of 25-HC-binding proteins points to the ability of HC to affect many physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we focused on the regulation of 25-HC production and its universal role in the control of cellular cholesterol homeostasis, as well as the effects of 25-HC as a signaling molecule mediating the influence of inflammation on the processes in the neuromuscular system and brain. Based on the evidence collected, it can be suggested that 25-HC prevents accumulation of cellular cholesterol and serves as a potent modulator of neuroinflammation, synaptic transmission, and myelinization. An increased production of 25-HC in response to a various type of damage can have a protective role and reduce neuronal loss. At the same time, an excess of 25-HC may exert the neurotoxic effects.

L-type Ca 2+ Channels at Low External Calcium Differentially Regulate Neurotransmitter Release in Proximal-Distal Compartments of the Frog Neuromuscular Junction. Cell Mol Neurobiol 2021; 42:2833-2847.

Abstract
L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) are key elements in electromechanical coupling in striated muscles and formation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). However, the significance of LTCCs in regulation of neurotransmitter release is still far from understanding. Here, we found that LTCCs can increase evoked neurotransmitter release (especially asynchronous component) and spontaneous exocytosis in two functionally different compartment of the frog NMJ, namely distal and proximal parts. The effects of LTCC blockage on evoked and spontaneous release as well as timing of exocytotic events were prevented by inhibition of either protein kinase C (PKC) or P2Y receptors (P2Y-Rs). Hence, endogenous signaling via P2Y-R/PKC axis can sustain LTCC activity. Application of ATP, a co-neurotransmitter able to activate P2Y-Rs, suppressed both evoked and spontaneous exocytosis in distal and proximal parts. Surprisingly, inhibition of LTCCs (but not PKC) decreased the negative action of exogenous ATP on evoked (only in distal part) and spontaneous exocytosis. Lipid raft disruption suppressed (1) action of LTCC antagonist on neurotransmitter release selectively in distal region and (2) contribution of LTCCs in depressant effect of ATP on evoked and spontaneous release. Thus, LTCCs can enhance and desynchronize neurotransmitter release at basal conditions (without ATP addition), but contribute to ATP-mediated decrease in the exocytosis. The former action of LTCCs relies on P2Y-R/PKC axis, whereas the latter is triggered by exogenous ATP and PKC-independent. Furthermore, relevance of lipid rafts for LTCC function as well as LTCCs for ATP effects is different in distal and proximal part of the NMJ.

Abstract
Inflammatory reactions induce changes in the neuromuscular system. The mechanisms underlying this link are unclear. Besides cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS), production of an antiviral oxysterol 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) by immune cells is quickly increased in response to inflammation. Hypothetically, 25HC could contribute to regulation of neuromuscular activity as well as redox status. We found that 25HC (0.01-10 μM) can bidirectionally modulate neurotransmission in mice diaphragm, the main respiratory muscle. Low concentrations (≤0.1 μM) of 25HC reduced involvement of synaptic vesicles (SVs) into exocytosis during 20-Hz activity, whereas higher inflammatory-related concentrations (≥1 μM) had a profound potentiating effect on SV mobilization. The latter stimulatory action of 25HC was accompanied by increase in Ca2+ release from intracellular stores via IP3 receptors. Both increase in SV mobilization and [Ca2+]in were suppressed by a specific antagonist of liver X receptors (LXRs). These receptors formed clusters within the synaptic membranes in a lipid raft-dependent manner. Either raft disruption or intracellular Ca2+ chelation prevented 25HC-mediated acceleration of the exocytotic rate. The same action had inhibition of estrogen receptor α, Gi-protein, Gβγ, phospholipase C and protein kinase C. Additionally, 1 μM 25HC upregulated ROS production in a Ca2+-dependent way and an antioxidant partially decreased the exocytosis-promoting effect of 25HC. Thus, 25HC has prooxidant properties and it is a potent regulator of SV mobilization via activation of lipid raft-associated LXRs which can trigger signaling via estrogen receptor α - Gi-protein - Gβγ - phospholipase C - Ca2+ - protein kinase C pathway. 25HC-mediated increase in ROS may modulate this signaling.

Abstract
AIMS Plasma hyperlipidemia is a protective factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) while cholesterol-lowering drugs aggravate the pathology. We hypothesize that this phenomenon can be linked with membrane lipid alterations in the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) occurring before motor neuron loss. METHODS Neurotransmitter release in parallel with lipid membrane properties in diaphragm NMJs of SOD1G93A (mSOD) mice at nine weeks of age (pre-onset stage) were assessed. KEY FINDINGS Despite on slight changes in spontaneous and evoked quantum release of acetylcholine, extracellular levels of choline at resting conditions, an indicator of non-quantum release, were significantly increased in mSOD mice. The use of lipid-sensitive fluorescent probes points to lipid raft disruption in the NMJs of mSOD mice. However, content of cholesterol, a key raft component was unchanged implying another pathway responsible for the loss of raft integrity. In the mSOD mice we found marked increase in levels of raft-destabilizing lipid ceramide. This was accompanied by enhanced ability to uptake of exogenous ceramide in NMJs. Acute and chronic administration of 25-hydroxycholesterol, whose levels increase due to hypercholesterolemia, recovered early alterations in membrane properties. Furthermore, chronic treatment with 25-hydroxycholesterol prevented increase in ceramide and extracellular choline levels as well as suppressed lipid peroxidation of NMJ membranes and fragmentation of end plates. SIGNIFICANCE Thus, lipid raft disruption likely due to ceramide accumulation could be early event in ALS which may trigger neuromuscular abnormalities. Cholesterol derivative 25-hydroxycholesterol may serve as a molecule restoring the membrane and functional properties of NMJs at the early stage.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052239.

Abstract
Muscle disuse and denervation leads to muscle atrophy, but underlying mechanisms can be different. Previously, we have found ceramide (Cer) accumulation and lipid raft disruption after acute hindlimb suspension (HS), a model of muscle disuse. Herein, using biochemical and fluorescent approaches the influence of unilateral denervation itself and in combination with short-term HS on membrane-related parameters of rat soleus muscle was studied. Denervation increased immunoexpression of sphingomyelinase and Cer in plasmalemmal regions, but decreased Cer content in the raft fraction and enhanced lipid raft integrity. Preliminary denervation suppressed (1) HS-induced Cer accumulation in plasmalemmal regions, shown for both nonraft and raft-fractions; (2) HS-mediated decrease in lipid raft integrity. Similar to denervation, inhibition of the sciatic nerve afferents with capsaicin itself increased Cer plasmalemmal immunoexpression, but attenuated the membrane-related effects of HS. Finally, both denervation and capsaicin treatment increased immunoexpression of proapoptotic protein Bax and inhibited HS-driven increase in antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Thus, denervation can increase lipid raft formation and attenuate HS-induced alterations probably due to decrease of Cer levels in the raft fraction. The effects of denervation could be at least partially caused by the loss of afferentation. The study points to the importance of motor and afferent inputs in control of Cer distribution and thereby stability of lipid rafts in the junctional and extrajunctional membranes of the muscle.

Abstract
Intracellular protons play a special role in the regulation of presynaptic processes, since the functioning of synaptic vesicles and endosomes depends on their acidification by the H+-pump. Furthermore, transient acidification of the intraterminal space occurs during synaptic activity. Using microelectrode recording of postsynaptic responses (an indicator of neurotransmitter release) and exo-endocytic marker FM1-43, we studied the effects of intracellular acidification with propionate on the presynaptic events underlying neurotransmitter release. Cytoplasmic acidification led to a marked decrease in neurotransmitter release during the first minute of a 20-Hz stimulation in the neuromuscular junctions of mouse diaphragm and frog cutaneous pectoris muscle. This was accompanied by a reduction in the FM1-43 loss during synaptic vesicle exocytosis in response to the stimulation. Estimation of the endocytic uptake of FM1-43 showed no disruption in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acidification completely prevented the action of the cell-membrane permeable compound 24-hydroxycholesterol, which can enhance synaptic vesicle mobilization. Thus, the obtained results suggest that an increase in [H+]in negatively regulates neurotransmission due to the suppression of synaptic vesicle delivery to the sites of exocytosis at high activity. This mechanism can be a part of the negative feedback loop in regulating neurotransmitter release.

Abstract
Olesoxime is a cholesterol-like neuroprotective compound that targets to mitochondrial voltage dependent anion channels (VDACs). VDACs were also found in the plasma membrane and highly expressed in the presynaptic compartment. Here, we studied the effects of olesoxime and VDAC inhibitors on neurotransmission in the mouse neuromuscular junction. Electrophysiological analysis revealed that olesoxime suppressed selectively evoked neurotransmitter release in response to a single stimulus and 20 Hz activity. Also olesoxime decreased the rate of FM1-43 dye loss (an indicator of synaptic vesicle exocytosis) at low frequency stimulation and 20 Hz. Furthermore, an increase in extracellular Cl- enhanced the action of olesoxime on the exocytosis and olesoxime increased intracellular Cl- levels. The effects of olesoxime on the evoked synaptic vesicle exocytosis and [Cl-]i were blocked by membrane-permeable and impermeable VDAC inhibitors. Immunofluorescent labeling pointed on the presence of VDACs on the synaptic membranes. Rotenone-induced mitochondrial dysfunction perturbed the exocytotic release of FM1-43 and cell-permeable VDAC inhibitor (but not olesoxime or impermeable VDAC inhibitor) partially mitigated the rotenone-driven alterations in the FM1-43 unloading and mitochondrial superoxide production. Thus, olesoxime restrains neurotransmission by acting on plasmalemmal VDACs whose activation can limit synaptic vesicle exocytosis probably via increasing anion flux into the nerve terminals.

Abstract
A present review is devoted to the analysis of literature data and results of own research. Skeletal muscle neuromuscular junction is specialized to trigger the striated muscle fiber contraction in response to motor neuron activity. The safety factor at the neuromuscular junction strongly depends on a variety of pre- and postsynaptic factors. The review focuses on the crucial role of membrane cholesterol to maintain a high efficiency of neuromuscular transmission. Cholesterol metabolism in the neuromuscular junction, its role in the synaptic vesicle cycle and neurotransmitter release, endplate electrogenesis, as well as contribution of cholesterol to the synaptogenesis, synaptic integrity, and motor disorders are discussed.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the initial denervation of skeletal muscle and subsequent death of motor neurons. A dying-back pattern of ALS suggests a crucial role for neuromuscular junction dysfunction. In the present study, microelectrode recording of postsynaptic currents and optical detection of synaptic vesicle traffic (FM1-43 dye) and intracellular NO levels (DAF-FM DA) were used to examine the effect of the major brain-derived cholesterol metabolite 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-HC, 0.4 μM) on neuromuscular transmission in the diaphragm of transgenic mice carrying a mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SODG93A). We found that 24S-HC suppressed spontaneous neurotransmitter release and neurotransmitter exocytosis during high-frequency stimulation. The latter was accompanied by a decrease in both the rate of synaptic vesicle recycling and activity-dependent enhancement of NO production. Inhibition of NO synthase with L-NAME also attenuated synaptic vesicle exocytosis during high-frequency stimulation and completely abolished the effect of 24S-HC itself. Of note, 24S-HC enhanced the labeling of synaptic membranes with B-subunit of cholera toxin, suggesting an increase in lipid ordering. Lipid raft-disrupting agents (methyl-β-cyclodextrin, sphingomyelinase) prevented the action of 24S-HC on both lipid raft marker labeling and NO synthesis. Together, these experiments indicate that 24S-HC is able to suppress the exocytotic release of neurotransmitter in response to intense activity via a NO/lipid raft-dependent pathway in the neuromuscular junctions of SODG93A mice.
