Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) are defined as the slow loss of a group of neurons that are particularly sensitive. Due to the intricate pathophysiological processes underlying neurodegeneration, no cure exists for these conditions despite the extensive research and advances in our knowledge of the onset and course of NDs. Hence, there is a medical need for the creation of a novel therapeutic approach for NDs. By focusing on numerous signaling pathways, some natural substances derived from medicinal herbs and foods have demonstrated potent activity in treating various NDs. In this context, flavonoids have recently attracted increased popularity and research attention because of their alleged beneficial effects on health. By acting as antioxidant substances, nutritional supplements made up of flavonoids have been found to lessen the extent of NDs like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Luteolin is a flavone that possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a consequence, luteolin has emerged as an option for treatment with therapeutic effects on many brain disorders. More research has focused on luteolin's diverse biological targets as well as diverse signaling pathways, implying its potential medicinal properties in several NDs. This review emphasizes the possible use of luteolin as a drug of choice for the treatment as well as the management of AD and PD. In addition, this review recommends that further research should be carried out on luteolin as a potential treatment for AD and PD alongside a focus on mechanisms and clinical studies.

ApoER2-Dab1 disruption as the origin of pTau-associated neurodegeneration in sporadic Alzheimer's disease. Acta Neuropathol Commun 2023; 11:197. [PMID: 38093390 PMCID: PMC10720169 DOI: 10.1186/s40478-023-01693-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
In sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) specific regions, layers and neurons accumulate hyperphosphorylated Tau (pTau) and degenerate early while others remain unaffected even in advanced disease. ApoER2-Dab1 signaling suppresses Tau phosphorylation as part of a four-arm pathway that regulates lipoprotein internalization and the integrity of actin, microtubules, and synapses; however, the role of this pathway in sAD pathogenesis is not fully understood. We previously showed that multiple ApoER2-Dab1 pathway components including ApoE, Reelin, ApoER2, Dab1, pP85αTyr607, pLIMK1Thr508, pTauSer202/Thr205 and pPSD95Thr19 accumulate together within entorhinal-hippocampal terminal zones in sAD, and proposed a unifying hypothesis wherein disruption of this pathway underlies multiple aspects of sAD pathogenesis. However, it is not yet known whether ApoER2-Dab1 disruption can help explain the origin(s) and early progression of pTau pathology in sAD. In the present study, we applied in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to characterize ApoER2 expression and accumulation of ApoER2-Dab1 pathway components in five regions known to develop early pTau pathology in 64 rapidly autopsied cases spanning the clinicopathological spectrum of sAD. We found that (1) these selectively vulnerable neuron populations strongly express ApoER2; and (2) multiple ApoER2-Dab1 components representing all four arms of this pathway accumulate in abnormal neurons and neuritic plaques in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and sAD cases and correlate with histological progression and cognitive deficits. Multiplex-IHC revealed that Dab1, pP85αTyr607, pLIMK1Thr508, pTauSer202/Thr205 and pPSD95Thr19 accumulate together within many of the same ApoER2-expressing neurons and in the immediate vicinity of ApoE/ApoJ-enriched extracellular plaques. Collective findings reveal that pTau is only one of many ApoER2-Dab1 pathway components that accumulate in multiple neuroanatomical sites in the earliest stages of sAD and provide support for the concept that ApoER2-Dab1 disruption drives pTau-associated neurodegeneration in human sAD.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a deteriorating condition that arises due to an imbalance between the reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant system or defense of the body. The key reasons for the development of such conditions are malfunctioning of various cell organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi complex, as well as physical and mental disturbances. The nervous system has a relatively high utilization of oxygen, thus making it particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress, which eventually leads to neuronal atrophy and death. This advances the development of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration-associated disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, dementia, and other memory disorders. It is imperative to treat such conditions as early as possible before they worsen and progress to irreversible damage. Oxidative damage can be negated by two mechanisms: improving the cellular defense system or providing exogenous antioxidants. Natural antioxidants can normally handle such oxidative stress, but they have limited efficacy. The valuable features of nanoparticles and/or nanomaterials, in combination with antioxidant features, offer innovative nanotheranostic tools as potential therapeutic modalities. Hence, this review aims to represent novel therapeutic approaches like utilizing nanoparticles with antioxidant properties and nanotheranostics as delivery systems for potential therapeutic applications in various neuroinflammation- and neurodegeneration-associated disease conditions.

Abstract
Non-targeted LC-MS/MS-based lipidomic analysis was conducted in post-mortem human grey matter frontal cortex area 8 (GM) and white matter of the frontal lobe centrum semi-ovale (WM) to identify lipidome fingerprints in middle-aged individuals with no neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, and cases at progressive stages of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD). Complementary data were obtained using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that WM presents an adaptive lipid phenotype resistant to lipid peroxidation, characterized by a lower fatty acid unsaturation, peroxidizability index, and higher ether lipid content than the GM. Changes in the lipidomic profile are more marked in the WM than in GM in AD with disease progression. Four functional categories are associated with the different lipid classes affected in sAD: membrane structural composition, bioenergetics, antioxidant protection, and bioactive lipids, with deleterious consequences affecting both neurons and glial cells favoring disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) is not a global brain disease. Specific regions, layers and neurons degenerate early while others remain untouched even in advanced disease. The prevailing model used to explain this selective neurodegeneration-prion-like Tau spread-has key limitations and is not easily integrated with other defining sAD features. Instead, we propose that in humans Tau hyperphosphorylation occurs locally via disruption in ApoER2-Dab1 signaling and thus the presence of ApoER2 in neuronal membranes confers vulnerability to degeneration. Further, we propose that disruption of the Reelin/ApoE/ApoJ-ApoER2-Dab1-P85α-LIMK1-Tau-PSD95 (RAAAD-P-LTP) pathway induces deficits in memory and cognition by impeding neuronal lipoprotein internalization and destabilizing actin, microtubules, and synapses. This new model is based in part on our recent finding that ApoER2-Dab1 disruption is evident in entorhinal-hippocampal terminal zones in sAD. Here, we hypothesized that neurons that degenerate in the earliest stages of sAD (1) strongly express ApoER2 and (2) show evidence of ApoER2-Dab1 disruption through co-accumulation of multiple RAAAD-P-LTP components. METHODS We applied in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to characterize ApoER2 expression and accumulation of RAAAD-P-LTP components in five regions that are prone to early pTau pathology in 64 rapidly autopsied cases spanning the clinicopathological spectrum of sAD. RESULTS We found that: (1) selectively vulnerable neuron populations strongly express ApoER2; (2) numerous RAAAD-P-LTP pathway components accumulate in neuritic plaques and abnormal neurons; and (3) RAAAD-P-LTP components were higher in MCI and sAD cases and correlated with histological progression and cognitive deficits. Multiplex-IHC revealed that Dab1, pP85αTyr607, pLIMK1Thr508, pTau and pPSD95Thr19 accumulated together within dystrophic dendrites and soma of ApoER2-expressing neurons in the vicinity of ApoE/ApoJ-enriched extracellular plaques. These observations provide evidence for molecular derangements that can be traced back to ApoER2-Dab1 disruption, in each of the sampled regions, layers, and neuron populations that are prone to early pTau pathology. CONCLUSION Findings support the RAAAD-P-LTP hypothesis, a unifying model that implicates dendritic ApoER2-Dab1 disruption as the major driver of both pTau accumulation and neurodegeneration in sAD. This model provides a new conceptual framework to explain why specific neurons degenerate and identifies RAAAD-P-LTP pathway components as potential mechanism-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sAD.

PINK1 overexpression prevents forskolin-induced tau hyperphosphorylation and oxidative stress in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:1916-1927.

Abstract
PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/parkin pathway mediates mitophagy, which is a specialized form of autophagy. Evidence shows that PINK1 can exert protective effects against stress-induced neuronal cell death. In the present study we investigated the effects of PINK1 overexpression on tau hyperphosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in a specific rat model of tau hyperphosphorylation. We showed that intracerebroventricular (ICV) microinjection of forskolin (FSK, 80 μmol) induced tau hyperphosphorylation in the rat brain and resulted in significant spatial working memory impairments in Y-maze test, accompanied by synaptic dysfunction (reduced expression of synaptic proteins synaptophysin and postsynaptic density protein 95), and neuronal loss in the hippocampus. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpression of PINK1 prevented ICV-FSK-induced cognition defect and pathological alterations in the hippocampus, whereas PINK1-knockout significantly exacerbated ICV-FSK-induced deteriorated effects. Furthermore, we revealed that AAV-PINK1-mediated overexpression of PINK1 alleviated ICV-FSK-induced tau hyperphosphorylation by restoring the activity of PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling. PINK1 overexpression reversed the abnormal changes in mitochondrial dynamics, defective mitophagy, and decreased ATP levels in the hippocampus. Moreover, PINK1 overexpression activated Nrf2 signaling, thereby increasing the expression of antioxidant proteins and reducing oxidative damage. These results suggest that PINK1 deficiency exacerbates FSK-induced tau pathology, synaptic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and antioxidant system defects, which were reversed by PINK1 overexpression. Our data support a critical role of PINK1-mediated mitophagy in controlling mitochondrial quality, tau hyperphosphorylation, and oxidative stress in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) lacks a unifying hypothesis that can account for the lipid peroxidation observed early in the disease, enrichment of ApoE in the core of neuritic plaques, hallmark plaques and tangles, and selective vulnerability of entorhinal-hippocampal structures. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that 1) high expression of ApoER2 (receptor for ApoE and Reelin) helps explain this anatomical vulnerability; 2) lipid peroxidation of ApoE and ApoER2 contributes to sAD pathogenesis, by disrupting neuronal ApoE delivery and Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 signaling cascades. METHODS In vitro biochemical experiments; Single-marker and multiplex fluorescence-immunohistochemistry (IHC) in postmortem specimens from 26 individuals who died cognitively normal, with mild cognitive impairment or with sAD. RESULTS ApoE and ApoER2 peptides and proteins were susceptible to attack by reactive lipid aldehydes, generating lipid-protein adducts and crosslinked ApoE-ApoER2 complexes. Using in situ hybridization alongside IHC, we observed that: 1) ApoER2 is strongly expressed in terminal zones of the entorhinal-hippocampal 'perforant path' projections that underlie memory; 2) ApoE, lipid aldehyde-modified ApoE, Reelin, ApoER2, and the downstream Reelin-ApoER2 cascade components Dab1 and Thr19-phosphorylated PSD95 accumulated in the vicinity of neuritic plaques in perforant path terminal zones in sAD cases; 3) several ApoE/Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 pathway markers were higher in sAD cases and positively correlated with histological progression and cognitive deficits. CONCLUSION Results demonstrate derangements in multiple ApoE/Reelin-ApoER2-Dab1 axis components in perforant path terminal zones in sAD and provide proof-of-concept that ApoE and ApoER2 are vulnerable to aldehyde-induced adduction and crosslinking. Findings provide the foundation for a unifying hypothesis implicating lipid peroxidation of ApoE and ApoE receptors in sAD.

Abstract
Background:
Oxidative damage contributes to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). Redox imbalance may
lead to increased lipid peroxidation, which produces toxic aldehydes like 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) ultimately leading to
oxidative stress. Conversely, implications of oxidative stress points towards an alteration in HNE-protein adducts and
activities of enzymatic and antioxidant systems in schizophrenia.
Objectives:
Present study focuses on identification of HNE-protein adducts and its related molecular consequences in
schizophrenia pathology due to oxidative stress, particularly lipid peroxidation.
Material and Methods:
Oxyblotting was performed on seven autopsied brain samples each from cortex and hippocampus
region of schizophrenia patients and their respective normal healthy controls. Additionally, thiobarbituric acid substances
(TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and catalase (CAT) activities associated with oxidative stress, were also
estimated.
Results:
Obtained results indicates substantially higher levels of oxidative stress in schizophrenia patients than healthy
control group represented by elevated expression of HNE-protein adducts. Interestingly, hippocampus region of
schizophrenia brain shows increased HNE protein adducts compared to cortex. An increase in catalase activity (4.8876 ±
1.7123) whereas decrease in antioxidant GSH levels (0.213 ± 0.015µmol/ml) have been observed in SZ brain. Elevated
TBARS level (0.3801 ± 0.0532ug/ml) were obtained in brain regions SZ patients compared with their controls that reflects
an increased lipid peroxidation (LPO).
Conclusion:
Conclusion: We propose the role of HNE modified proteins possibly associated with the pathology of
schizophrenia. Our data revealed increase lipid peroxidation as a consequence of increased TBARS production.
Furthermore, altered cellular antioxidants pathways related to GSH and CAT also highlight the involvement of oxidative
stress in schizophrenia pathology.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting more than 6 million US citizens and representing the most prevalent cause for dementia. Neurogenesis has been repeatedly reported to be impaired in AD mouse models, but the reason for this impairment remains unclear. Several key factors play a crucial role in AD including Aβ accumulation, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles accumulation, and neuronal loss (specifically in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus). Neurofibrillary tangles have been long associated with the neuronal loss in the dentate gyrus. Of note, Aβ accumulation plays an important role in the impairment of neurogenesis, but recent studies started to shed a light on the role of APP gene expression on the neurogenesis process. In this review, we will discuss the recent approaches to neurogenesis in Alzheimer disease and update the development of therapeutic methods.

Abstract
Tauopathies belong to a heterogeneous class of neuronal diseases resulting in the metabolic disturbance. A disulfide natural compound of Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) has shown numerous pharmacologic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities under neuropathological conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of ALA on the tauopathy-induced oxidative disturbance and behavioral deficits. The transgenic Drosophila model of tauopathy induced by human tauR406W using GAL4/UAS system and effects of ALA (0.001, 0.005, and 0.025 % w/w of diet) on the neuropathology of tau in younger (20 days) and older (30 days) adults were investigated via biochemical, molecular, behavioral and in-situ tissue analyses. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins involving Drosophila Cyt-c-d (trigger of intrinsic apoptosis) and DrICE (effector caspase) were upregulated in both ages (20 and 30 days) and DIAP1 (caspase inhibitor) has reduced only in older model flies compared to the controls. Remarkably, all doses of ALA increased DIAP1 and glutathione (GSH) as well as reducing Cyt-c-d and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the younger flies compared to the model flies. Moreover, the higher doses of ALA were able to decrease thiol concentrations, to increase total antioxidant capacity, and to improve the behavioral deficits (locomotor function, olfactory memory, and ethanol sensitivity) in the younger flies. On the other hand, only a higher dose of ALA was able to decrease DrICE, Cyt-c-d, LPO, and thiol as well as increasing antioxidant capacity and decreasing ethanol sensitivity (ST50, RT50) in the older flies. TUNEL assay showed that all doses of ALA could potentially increase the DIAP1/DrICE ratio and exert anti-apoptotic effects on younger, but not on the older adults. Furthermore, data obtained from the in-situ ROS assay confirmed that only a higher dose of ALA significantly decreased the ROS level at both ages. Our data showed that an effective neuroprotective dose of ALA and its mechanism of action on this model of tauopathy could potentially be influenced by longevity. Moreover, it was shown that ALA prevents apoptosis and decreases the redox homeostasis, and this partially explains the mechanism by which ALA diminishes behavioral deficits.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neurotoxicity during AD. Impaired mitochondrial metabolism has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in brain damage of AD. While the role of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), a major source of ROS, has been identified in brain damage, the mechanism by which NOX4 regulates ferroptosis of astrocytes in AD remains unclear. Here, we show that the protein levels of NOX4 were significantly elevated in impaired astrocytes of cerebral cortex from patients with AD and APP/PS1 double-transgenic mouse model of AD. The levels of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation, were significantly also elevated in impaired astrocytes of patients with AD and mouse AD. We demonstrate that the over-expression of NOX4 significantly increases the impairment of mitochondrial metabolism by inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and ATP production via the reduction of five protein complexes in the mitochondrial ETC in human astrocytes. Moreover, the elevation of NOX4 induces oxidative stress by mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production, mitochondrial fragmentation, and inhibition of cellular antioxidant process in human astrocytes. Furthermore, the elevation of NOX4 increased ferroptosis-dependent cytotoxicity by the activation of oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation in human astrocytes. These results suggest that NOX4 promotes ferroptosis of astrocytes by oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation via the impairment of mitochondrial metabolism in AD.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder that can cause dementia in elderly over 60 years of age. One of the disease hallmarks is oxidative stress which interconnects with other processes such as amyloid-β deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, and tangle formation. This review discusses current thoughts on molecular mechanisms that may relate oxidative stress to Alzheimer’s disease and identifies genetic factors observed from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies that may be associated with Alzheimer’s disease-related oxidative stress.

Abstract
The oxidative degradation of lipids has been shown to be implicated in the progression of several neurodegenerative diseases and modulating lipid peroxidation may be efficacious for treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This hypothesis is strengthened by recent findings suggesting that oxytosis/ferroptosis, a cell death process characterized by increased lipid peroxidation, plays an important role in AD-related toxicities. CMS121 is a small molecule developed against these aspects of neurodegeneration. Here we show that CMS121 alleviates cognitive loss, modulates lipid metabolism and reduces inflammation and lipid peroxidation in the brains of transgenic AD mice. We identify fatty acid synthase (FASN) as a molecular target of CMS121 and demonstrate that modulating lipid metabolism through the inhibition of FASN protects against several AD-related toxicities. These results support the involvement of lipid peroxidation and perturbed lipid metabolism in AD pathophysiology and propose FASN as a target in AD-associated toxicities. CMS121, a fisetin-derivative, alleviates memory decline in a double transgenic AD mouse model. CMS121 is able to reduce lipid peroxidation and neuroinflammation, both in vitro and in vivo. We identify fatty acid synthase (FASN), which shows increased protein levels in human AD patients, as a target of CMS121. Our results confirm the involvement of lipid peroxidation and perturbed lipid metabolism in AD pathophysiology. Decreasing lipid levels through FASN inhibition can be effective against excess lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by impaired cognitive function due to progressive loss of neurons in the brain. Under the microscope, neuronal accumulation of abnormal tau proteins and amyloid plaques are two pathological hallmarks in affected brain regions. Although the detailed mechanism of the pathogenesis of AD is still elusive, a large body of evidence suggests that damaged mitochondria likely play fundamental roles in the pathogenesis of AD. It is believed that a healthy pool of mitochondria not only supports neuronal activity by providing enough energy supply and other related mitochondrial functions to neurons, but also guards neurons by minimizing mitochondrial related oxidative damage. In this regard, exploration of the multitude of mitochondrial mechanisms altered in the pathogenesis of AD constitutes novel promising therapeutic targets for the disease. In this review, we will summarize recent progress that underscores the essential role of mitochondria dysfunction in the pathogenesis of AD and discuss mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction with a focus on the loss of mitochondrial structural and functional integrity in AD including mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, axonal transport, ER-mitochondria interaction, mitophagy and mitochondrial proteostasis.

Abstract
Aging and cancer are the most important issues to research. The population in the world is growing older, and the incidence of cancer increases with age. There is no doubt about the linkage between aging and cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association are still unknown. Several lines of evidence suggest that the oxidative stress as a cause and/or consequence of the mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the main drivers of these processes. Increasing ROS levels and products of the oxidative stress, which occur in aging and age-related disorders, were also found in cancer. This review focuses on the similarities between ageing-associated and cancer-associated oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction as their common phenotype.

Abstract
4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is one of the quantitatively most important products of lipid peroxidation. Due to its high toxicity it is quickly metabolized, however, a small share of HNE avoids enzymatic detoxification and reacts with biomolecules including proteins. The formation of HNE-protein-adducts is one of the accompanying processes in oxidative stress or redox disbalance. The modification of proteins might occur at several amino acids side chains, leading to a variety of products and having effects on the protein function and fate. This review summarizes current knowledge on the formation of HNE-modified proteins, their fate in mammalian cells and their potential role as a damaging agents during oxidative stress. Furthermore, the potential of HNE-modified proteins as biomarkers for several diseases are highlighted.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that free radical-mediated oxidation of biological substrates is a key feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. While it has long been established that biomarkers of lipid peroxidation (LPO) are elevated in AD brain as well as ventricular CSF postmortem, more recent studies have demonstrated increased LPO biomarkers in postmortem brain from subjects with mild cognitive impairment, the earliest clinically detectable phase of dementia and preclinical AD, the earliest detectable pathological phase. Furthermore, multiple LPO biomarkers are elevated in readily accessible biological fluids throughout disease progression. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that LPO is an early feature during disease progression and may be considered a key pathway for targeted therapeutics as well as an enhancer of diagnostic accuracy for early detection of subjects during the prodromal phase.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is responsible for the generation of chemically reactive, diffusible lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs) that covalently modify cellular protein targets. These protein modifications modulate protein activity and macromolecular interactions and induce adaptive and toxic cell signaling. Protein modifications induced by LDEs can be identified and quantified by affinity enrichment and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based techniques. Tagged LDE analog probes with different electrophilic groups can be covalently captured by click chemistry for LC-MS/MS analyses, thereby enabling in-depth studies of proteome damage at the protein and peptide sequence levels. Conversely, click-reactive, thiol-directed probes can be used to evaluate thiol damage caused by LDE by difference. These analytical approaches permit systematic study of the dynamics of protein damage caused by LDE and mechanisms by which oxidative stress contribute to toxicity and diseases.

Oxidative stress is an early hallmark in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. However, the critical biochemical effector mechanisms of oxidative neurotoxicity have remained surprisingly elusive. In screening various peroxides and potential substrates of oxidation for their effect on neuronal survival, we observed that intramembrane compounds were significantly more active than aqueous or amphiphilic compounds. To better understand this result, we synthesized a series of competitive and site-specific membrane protein oxidation inhibitors termed aminoacyllipids, whose structures were designed on the basis of amino acids frequently found at the protein-lipid interface of synaptic membrane proteins. Investigating the aminoacyllipids in primary neuronal culture, we found that the targeted protection of transmembrane tyrosine and tryptophan residues was sufficient to prevent neurotoxicity evoked by hydroperoxides, kainic acid, glutathione-depleting drugs, and certain amyloidogenic peptides, but ineffective against non-oxidative inducers of apoptosis such as sphingosine or Akt kinase inhibitors. Thus, the oxidative component of different neurotoxins appears to converge on neuronal membrane proteins, irrespective of the primary mechanism of cellular oxidant generation. Our results indicate the existence of a one-electron redox cycle based on membrane protein aromatic surface amino acids, whose disturbance or overload leads to excessive membrane protein oxidation and neuronal death. Membrane proteins have rarely been investigated as potential victims of oxidative stress in the context of neurodegeneration. This study provides evidence that excessive one-electron oxidation of membrane proteins from within the lipid bilayer, depicted in the graphic, is a functionally decisive step toward neuronal cell death in response to different toxins.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is thought to be one of the main mediators of neuronal damage in human neurodegenerative disease. Still, the dissection of causal relationships has turned out to be remarkably difficult. Here, we have analyzed global protein oxidation in terms of carbonylation of membrane proteins and cytoplasmic proteins in three different mammalian species: aged human cortex and cerebellum from patients with or without Alzheimer's disease, mouse cortex and cerebellum from young and old animals, and adult rat hippocampus and cortex subjected or not subjected to cerebral ischemia. Most tissues showed relatively similar levels of protein oxidation. However, human cortex was affected by severe membrane protein oxidation, while exhibiting lower than average cytoplasmic protein oxidation. In contrast, ex vivo autooxidation of murine cortical tissue primarily induced aqueous protein oxidation, while in vivo biological aging or cerebral ischemia had no major effect on brain protein oxidation. The unusually high levels of membrane protein oxidation in the human cortex were also not predicted by lipid peroxidation, as the levels of isoprostane immunoreactivity in human samples were considerably lower than in rodent tissues. Our results indicate that the aged human cortex is under steady pressure from specific and potentially detrimental membrane protein oxidation. The pronounced difference between humans, mice and rats regarding the primary site of cortical oxidation might have contributed to the unresolved difficulties in translating into therapies the wealth of data describing successful antioxidant neuroprotection in rodents. Membrane proteins from the human cerebral cortex show specific and severe oxidation. This contrasts to human cerebellum and to mouse cortex and cerebellum of any age. It also contrasts to adult rat cortex and hippocampus with or without ischemia. Lipid peroxidation is not a predictor of membrane protein oxidation. Membrane protein oxidation might be related to impending neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Considerable debate and controversy surround the cause(s) of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To date, several theories have gained notoriety, however none is universally accepted. In this review, we provide evidence for the oxidative stress-induced AD cascade that posits aged mitochondria as the critical origin of neurodegeneration in AD.

Abstract
Background The human β-defensins (hBDs) are a highly conserved family of cationic antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides expressed primarily by epithelial cells in response to invasion by bacteria, fungi and some viruses. To date, the most studied members of this family of peptides are hBD-1, -2, and -3. Expression of hBD-1 and -2 has been demonstrated previously in cultured microglia and astrocytes of both mouse and human brain. Unlike inducible hBD-2 and -3, hBD-1 is constitutively expressed and is not generally upregulated by proinflammatory factors. In this study, we investigated whether hBDs, as active components of the innate immune response, are affected by pathological events in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain. We assessed the expression of hBD-1, -2, and -3 in tissue obtained at autopsy from AD and age-matched control brains. Methods Fixed and frozen choroid plexus and the CA1 region of the hippocampus were obtained at autopsy from individuals diagnosed with AD, or from age-matched control brains without diagnosed neurodegenerative disease. Histopathologically diagnosed AD brain tissue was obtained for our study. Immunocytochemical analysis was performed using affinity purified polyclonal antibodies directed against hBD-1, -2, or -3. TaqMan gene expression assays were used to quantify the mRNA of hBD-1, -2, and -3 in the choroid plexus and hippocampus. Immunocytochemical detection of iron deposits was achieved using a modified Perl’s stain for redox-active iron. In vitro experiments were performed on human primary oral epithelial cells to model the human choroid plexus epithelial response to ferric chloride. Cells were then exposed to ferric chloride added to selected wells at 0, 1, or 10 mM concentrations for 24 h at 37°C. Total mRNA was isolated to quantify hBD-1 mRNA expression by RTqPCR. Results hBD-1 peptide is apparent in astrocytes of the AD hippocampus and hippocampal neurons, notably within granulovacuolar degeneration structures (GVD). A higher level of hBD-1 was also seen in the choroid plexus of AD brain in comparison to age-matched control tissue. Increased expression of hBD-1 mRNA was observed only in the choroid plexus of the AD brain when compared to expression level in age-matched control brain. Redox-active iron was also elevated in the AD choroid plexus and in vitro addition of Fe+3Cl3 to cultured epithelial cells induced hBD-1 mRNA expression. Conclusions Our findings suggest interplay between hBD-1 and neuroimmunological responses in AD, marked by microglial and astrocytic activation, and increased expression of the peptide within the choroid plexus and accumulation within GVD. As a constitutively expressed component of the innate immune system, we propose that hBD-1 may be of considerable importance early in the disease process. We also demonstrate that increased iron deposition in AD may contribute to the elevated expression of hBD-1 within the choroid plexus. These findings represent a potentially important etiological aspect of Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology not previously reported.

Abstract
Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) are the two most common age-related neurodegenerative diseases characterized by prominent neurodegeneration in selective neural systems. Although a small fraction of AD and PD cases exhibit evidence of heritability, among which many genes have been identified, the majority are sporadic without known causes. Molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and pathogenesis of these diseases remain elusive. Convincing evidence demonstrates oxidative stress as a prominent feature in AD and PD and links oxidative stress to the development of neuronal death and neural dysfunction, which suggests a key pathogenic role for oxidative stress in both AD and PD. Notably, mitochondrial dysfunction is also a prominent feature in these diseases, which is likely to be of critical importance in the genesis and amplification of reactive oxygen species and the pathophysiology of these diseases. In this review, we focus on changes in mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial dynamics, two aspects critical to the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and function, in relationship with oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of AD and PD.

Abstract
Collagen XVII is a nonfibril-forming transmembrane collagen, which functions as both a matrix protein and a cell-surface receptor. It is particularly copious in the skin, where it is known to be a structural component of hemidesmosomes. In addition, collagen XVII has been found to be present in the central nervous system, thus offering an explanation for the statistical association between bullous pemphigoid, in which autoimmunity is directed against dermal collagen XVII, and neurological diseases. In support of the hypothesis that collagen XVII serves as a shared antigen mediating an immune response between skin and brain, research on animal and human tissue, as well as numerous epidemiological and case studies, is presented.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation generates reactive aldehydes, most notably hydroxynonenal (HNE), which covalently binds amino acid residue side chains leading to protein inactivation and insolubility. Specific adducts of lipid peroxidation have been demonstrated to be intimately associated with pathological lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting that oxidative stress is a major component in the disease. Here, we examined the HNE-cross-linking modifications by using an antibody specific for a lysine-lysine cross-link. Since in a prior study we noted no immunolabeling of neuritic plaques or neurofibrillary tangles but instead found strong labeling of axons, we focused this study on axons. Axonal labeling was examined in mouse sciatic nerve, and immunoblotting showed the cross-link was restricted to neurofilament heavy and medium subunits, which while altering migration, did not indicate larger NF aggregates, indicative of intermolecular cross-links. Examination of mice at various ages showed the extent of modification remaining relatively constant through the life span. These findings demonstrate lipid-cross-linking peroxidation primarily involves lysine-rich neurofilaments and is restricted to intramolecular cross-links.

Abstract
Reactive aldehydes including methyl glyoxal, acrolein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) have been implicated in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The reduction of aldehydes to alcohols by the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) family of enzymes may represent an important detoxication route within neuronal cells. In this study, the ability of AKR enzymes to protect human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells against reactive aldehydes was assessed. Using gene-specific RNA interference (RNAi), we report that AKR7A2 makes a significant contribution to the reduction of methyl glyoxal in SH-SY5Y cells, with its knockdown altering the IC(50) from 410 to 25.8μM, and that AKR1C3 contributes to 4-HNE reduction, with its knockdown lowering the IC(50) from 1.25 to 0.58μM. In addition, we have shown that pretreatment of cells with sub-lethal concentrations of 4-HNE or methyl glyoxal leads to a significant increase in IC(50) when cells are exposed to higher concentrations of the toxic aldehyde. The IC(50) for methyl glyoxal increased from 410μM to 1.9mM, and the IC(50) for 4-HNE increased from 120 to 690nM. To investigate this protection, we show that pretreatment of cells with the AKR inhibitor sorbinil lead to decreased resistance to aldehydes. We show that AKR1C can be induced 8-fold in SH-SY5Y cells by treatment with sub-lethal concentrations of methyl glyoxal, and 5-fold by 4-HNE treatment. AKR1B is not induced by methyl glyoxal but is induced 10-fold by 4-HNE treatment. Furthermore, we have shown that this adaptive response can also be induced using the chemoprotective agent tert-butyl hydroquinone (t-BHQ), and that this also evokes an increase in the expression and activity of AKR1B and AKR1C. These findings highlight the potential for the interventional upregulation of AKR via non-toxic derivatives or natural compounds as a novel therapeutic approach towards the detoxication of aldehydes, with the aim of halting the progression of aldehyde-dependent neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Treatment strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are still elusive. Thus, new strategies are needed to understand the pathogenesis of AD in order to provide suitable therapeutic measures. Available evidences suggest that in AD, passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and transport exchanges for amyloid-β-peptide (ABP) between blood and the central nervous system (CNS) compartments play an important regulatory role for the deposition of brain ABP. New evidences suggest that BBB is altered in AD. Studies favoring transport theory clearly show that ABP putative receptors at the BBB control the level of soluble isoform of ABP in brain. This is achieved by regulating influx of circulating ABP into brain via specific receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and gp330/megalin-mediated transcytosis. On the other hand, the efflux of brain-derived ABP into the circulation across the vascular system via BBB is accomplished by low-density receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1). Furthermore, an increased BBB permeability in AD is also likely since structural damage of endothelial cells is quite frequent in AD brain. Thus, enhanced drug delivery in AD is needed to induce neuroprotection and therapeutic success. For this purpose, nanodrug delivery could be one of the available options that require active consideration for novel therapeutic strategies to treat AD cases. This review is focused on these aspects and provides new data showing that BBB plays an important role in AD-induced neurodegeneration and neurorepair.
