[PMID: 36187348 PMCID: PMC9515907 DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.926791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Several studies have shown the significance of neuroinflammation in the pathological progress of cerebral palsy (CP). However, the etiology of CP remains poorly understood. Spastic CP is the most common form of CP, comprising 80% of all cases. Therefore, identifying the specific factors may serve to understand the etiology of spastic CP. Our research aimed to find some relevant factors through protein profiling, screening, and validation to help understand the pathogenesis of cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: In the current study, related clinical parameters were assessed in 18 children with spastic CP along with 20 healthy individuals of the same age. Blood samples of the spastic CP children and controls were analyzed with proteomics profiling to detect differentially expressed proteins. On the other hand, after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) was induced in the postnatal day 7 rat pups, behavioral tests were performed followed by detection of the differentially expressed markers and inflammatory cytokines in the peripheral blood and cerebral cortex of the CP model rats by Elisa and Western blot. Independent sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and the Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis. Results: Through proteomic analysis, differentially expressed proteins were identified. Among them, tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), the gene expression product of alkaline phosphatase (ALPL), was downregulated in spastic CP. In addition, significantly lower TNAP levels were found in the children with CP and model rats. In contrast, compared with the sham rats, the model rats demonstrated a significant increase in osteopontin and proinflammatory biomarkers in both the plasma and cerebral cortex on the ischemic side whereas serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D and IL-10 were significantly decreased. Moreover, serum TNAP level was positively correlated with serum CRP and IL-10 in model rats. Conclusion: These results suggest that TNAP is the potential molecule playing a specific and critical role in the neuroinflammation in spastic CP, which may provide a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of spastic CP.

Long-term consequences of COVID-19 on cognitive functioning up to 6 months after discharge: role of depression and impact on quality of life. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2022; 272:773-782. [PMID: 34698871 PMCID: PMC8546751 DOI: 10.1007/s00406-021-01346-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Neurologic and psychiatric symptoms have been reported in the months following the infection with COVID-19. A low-grade inflammation has been associated both with depression and cognitive symptoms, suggesting a link between these disorders. The aim of the study is to investigate cognitive functioning 6 months following hospital discharge for COVID-19, the impact of depression, and the consequences on quality of life. Ninety-two COVID-19 survivors evaluated at 1-month follow-up, 122 evaluated at 3 months and 98 evaluated at 6 months performed neuropsychological and psychiatric evaluations and were compared with a healthy comparison group (HC) of 165 subjects and 165 patients with major depression (MDD). Cognitive performances were adjusted for age, sex, and education. Seventy-nine percent of COVID-19 survivors at 1 month and 75% at 3- and 6-month follow-up showed cognitive impairment in at least one cognitive function. No significant difference in cognitive performances was observed between 1-, 3-, and 6-months follow-up. COVID-19 patients performed worse than HC but better than MDD in psychomotor coordination and speed of information processing. No difference between COVID-19 survivors and MDD was observed for verbal fluency, and executive functions, which were lower than in HC. Finally, COVID-19 survivors performed the same as HC in working memory and verbal memory. The factor that most affected cognitive performance was depressive psychopathology which, in turn, interact with cognitive functions in determining quality of life. Our results confirm that COVID-19 sequelae include signs of cognitive impairment which persist up to 6 months after hospital discharge and affect quality of life.

Inflammatory biomarkers in very preterm infants during early intravenous paracetamol administration. Early Hum Dev 2021; 161:105464. [PMID: 34536795 DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2021.105464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Paracetamol promotes early closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and it may affect inflammation after preterm birth. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between paracetamol treatment and serum inflammatory biomarkers in very preterm infants with respiratory distress. STUDY DESIGN The infants were randomly assigned to intravenous paracetamol or placebo during the first 4 days of life, and others received a lower dose of paracetamol unblinded. Serum samples were used for the analysis of 10 cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The impact of paracetamol on the biomarkers was evaluated, based on the levels during the early (<60 h) and the later (60-120 h) postnatal age. RESULTS Altogether, 296 serum samples from 31 paracetamol and 25 placebo group infants were analysed. Paracetamol had no effect on cytokine levels during the first 60 h when most induced PDA contractions took place. Later paracetamol treatment was associated with lower serum levels of several cytokines, including interleukin (IL-) 10, interferon gamma-induced protein (IP-) 10, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. CRP levels were lower in the paracetamol group during the early treatment. Amongst the infants who had severe morbidities, MDA was higher (p = .045), regardless of paracetamol treatment. CONCLUSION No significant differences in the cytokine levels were evident between the treatment and placebo groups. However, during early treatment, CRP levels were lower in the paracetamol group. To clarify whether this was due to a decrease in cardiopulmonary distress, or a distinct anti-inflammatory effect, requires further studies.

Abstract
Objectives: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature we aimed to compare the levels of BDNF, NGF, NT-3, NT-4, and GDNF between human term and preterm infants, and investigate factors implicated in the variability of effect size estimates. Methods: The analysis was performed in three online databases, MEDLINE Complete, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. A random effects model was used to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) of neurotrophic factor levels in preterm infants vs. term within a 95% confidence interval (CI). To explore sources of heterogeneity meta-regression models were implemented. Results: Sixteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. A combined sample of 1,379 preterm and 1,286 term newborns were evaluated. We identified significant lower BDNF (SMD = -0.32; 95% CI: -0.59, -0.06; p = 0.014) and NT-3 (SMD = -0.31; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.09; p = 0.004) levels in preterm compared to term infants. No significant difference was observed in NGF and NT-4 levels between groups. Given that only two effect sizes were generated for GDNF levels, no meta-analytical model was performed. Meta-regression models revealed sample type (placental tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood) as a significant moderator of heterogeneity for BDNF meta-analysis. No significant associations were found for gestational week, birth weight, and clinical comorbidity of newborns with effect sizes. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that lower BDNF and NT-3 levels may be associated with preterm birth. Future studies with larger samples sizes should investigate neurodevelopmental manifestations resulting from neurotrophic factor dysregulation among preterm infants.

World J Stem Cells 2020; 12:1576-1590. [PMID: 33505601 PMCID: PMC7789117 DOI: 10.4252/wjsc.v12.i12.1576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Synaptophysin plays a key role in synaptic development and plasticity of neurons and is closely related to the cognitive process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Exogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) improve the damaged nerve function. The effects of Sanjiao acupuncture on cognitive impairment may be related to the regulation of the NSC microenvironment.
AIM To explore the anti-dementia mechanism of acupuncture by regulating the NSC microenvironment.
METHODS NSCs were isolated from pregnant senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1 (SAMR1) mice, labeled with BrdU, and injected into the hippocampus of senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Eight-month-old senescence-accelerated mice (SAM) were randomly divided into six groups: SAMR1 (RC), SAMP8 (PC), sham transplantation (PS), NSC transplantation (PT), NSC transplantation with acupuncture (PTA), and NSC transplantation with non-acupoint acupuncture (PTN). Morris water maze test was used to study the learning and memory ability of mice after NSC transplantation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence were used to observe the his-topathological changes and NSC proliferation in mice. A co-culture model of hippocampal slices and NSCs was established in vitro, and the synaptophysin expression in the hippocampal microenvironment of mice was observed by flow cytometry after acupuncture treatment.
RESULTS Morris water maze test showed significant cognitive impairment of learning and memory in 8-mo-old SAMP8, which improved in all the NSC transplantation groups. The behavioral change in the PTA group was stronger than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Histopathologically, the hippocampal structure was clear, the cell arrangement was dense and orderly, and the necrosis of cells in CA1 and CA3 areas was significantly reduced in the PTA group when compared with the PC group. The BrdU-positive proliferating cells were found in NSC hippocampal transplantation groups, and the number increased significantly in the PTA group than in the PT and PTN groups (P < 0.05). Flow cytometry showed that after co-culture of NSCs with hippocampal slices in vitro, the synaptophysin expression in the PC group decreased in comparison to the RC group, that in PT, PTA, and PTN groups increased as compared to the PC group, and that in the PTA group increased significantly as compared to the PTN group with acupoint-related specificity (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Acupuncture may promote nerve regeneration and synaptogenesis in SAMP8 mice by regulating the microenvironment of NSC transplantation to improve the nerve activity and promote the recovery of AD-damaged cells.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 on cognitive functions in recovered patients and its relationship with inflammatory profiles. Twenty-nine patients recovered from COVID-19 as confirmed by negative nucleic tests for two consecutive times were recruited. A total of 29 age-, gender- and education-matched healthy controls were also recruited. The cognitive functions of all subjects were evaluated by the iPad-based online neuropsychological tests, including the Trail Making Test (TMT), Sign Coding Test (SCT), Continuous Performance Test (CPT), and Digital Span Test (DST). Blood samples from all patients were collected for examining inflammatory profiles, including interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and C-reactive protein (CRP). The relationship between cognitive functions and inflammatory profiles were analyzed by Pearson correlation. In results, although no significant differences were found in TMT, SCT, and DST between the two groups, patients with COVID-19 scored lower in the correct number of the second and third parts of CPT, they also scored higher in the missing number of the third part of CPT (all P < 0.05). In patients with COVID-19, there was a trend of significant difference for lower reaction time in the first and second parts of CPT (P = 0.050, and 0.051, respectively), as well as the lower correct number of the second part of CPT (P = 0.050). Correlation analysis showed that the reaction time for the first and second parts of CPT was positively correlated with the CRP levels (r = 0.557 and 0.410, P < 0.05). In conclusion, our findings indicated that cognitive impairments exist even in patients recovered from COVID-19, and might be possibly linked to the underlying inflammatory processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An exacerbated systemic inflammatory response has been associated with the occurrence of central nervous system injuries that may determine, in long term, motor, sensorial and cognitive disabilities. Persistence of this exacerbated inflammatory response seems to be involved in the pathophysiology of cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS A systematic search was conducted in Bireme, Embase, PubMed and Scopus including studies that were published until August 2019. The key words used were "cerebral palsy", "brain injury", "inflammation", "oxidative stress", "cytokines", "chemokines", "neuropsychomotor development", "neurodevelopment outcomes" and "child". The quality of the eligible studies was determined according to the criteria suggested by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS Fourteen eligible studies aimed to investigate the association between peripheral inflammatory molecules and neurodevelopment in infants. The studies differed regarding CP-related risk factors and its classification. Inflammatory proteins were measured in blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid or urine. In ten studies, higher circulating levels of cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF and CXCL8/IL-8, were associated with abnormal neurological findings. CONCLUSION The investigation of the potential association between inflammatory molecules and neurological development in children with CP requires further original studies in order to clarify the influence of prenatal and perinatal inflammation on neurological outcomes.

Maternal deprivation increases microglial activation and neuroinflammatory markers in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of infant rats. J Psychiatr Res 2019; 115:13-20.

Abstract
A relationship between neuroinflammation and the development of psychiatric disorder have been revealed by many studies in the past decade. Although studies have shown that stressors can induce long-term changes that may be related to behavioral responses, these alterations have been poorly studied soon after a stressor, such as maternal deprivation (MD). Thus, this study was designed to investigate the acute effect of experimental induction of MD on inflammatory and microglial activation markers in the brain of infant rats. Early MD was induced from postnatal day (PND) 1-10. On PND 10 the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus from MD and control groups were removed to investigate microglial activation and neuroinflammatory markers. In the PFC the expressions of cluster of differentiation molecule 11B (CD11B), toll-like receptor (TLR)-2, and TLR-4 were increased in rats subjected to MD. The arginase expression was elevated in the PFC and hippocampus of maternally deprived rats. The cytokines interleukin-5 (IL-5), -6, -7, -10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and interferon gamma (INF-γ) were increased in the PFC of MD rats group. In the PFC the macrophage inflammatory proteins (MIP)-1α levels were reduced in MD rats group. In the hippocampus only the levels of TNF-α and INF-γ were elevated in infant rats subjected to MD. In conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that neuroinflammation and microglial activation, mainly in the PFC, could be involved with changes in the brain resident cells following MD, and these alterations could be associated to the development of psychiatric conditions late in life.
