Abstract
Corticotropin-releasing hormone is a critical component of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, which plays a major role in the body’s immune response to stress. Mast cells are both sensors and effectors in the interaction between the nervous and immune systems. As first responders to stress, mast cells can initiate, amplify and prolong neuroimmune responses upon activation. Corticotropin-releasing hormone plays a pivotal role in triggering stress responses and related diseases by acting on its receptors in mast cells. Corticotropin-releasing hormone can stimulate mast cell activation, influence the activation of immune cells by peripheral nerves and modulate neuroimmune interactions. The latest evidence shows that the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone induces the degranulation of mast cells under stress conditions, leading to disruption of the blood-brain barrier, which plays an important role in neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recent studies suggest that stress increases intestinal permeability and disrupts the blood-brain barrier through corticotropin-releasing hormone-mediated activation of mast cells, providing new insight into the complex interplay between the brain and gastrointestinal tract. The neuroimmune target of mast cells is the site at which the corticotropin-releasing hormone directly participates in the inflammatory responses of nerve terminals. In this review, we focus on the neuroimmune connections between corticotropin-releasing hormone and mast cells, with the aim of providing novel potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory, autoimmune and nervous system diseases.

Behav Brain Res 2018; 350:109-115. [PMID: 29758248 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2018.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2018] [Revised: 04/30/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate etazolate against depression-like behavior and, learning and memory impairment induced by 6- hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD). This aim was achieved through comparing 6-OHDA lesioned rats in the presence and absence of etazolate. The 6-OHDA was used to induce lesion as a model of PD. Etazolate was administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day for 14 days, starting 7 days after lesion induction. Apomorphine-induced rotation test was used to evaluate 6-OHDA-induced motor deficits, tail suspension test was used to assess depression-like symptoms, and the radial arms water maze (RAWM) was used to evaluate special learning and memory functions. Antioxidant biomarkers and BDNF protein levels were assessed in the hippocampus. Results revealed that etazolate administration significantly improved 6-OHDA-induced PD related symptoms including motor deficits, depression-like behavior and impairment of both short- and long- term memory. Moreover, etazolate significantly prevented 6-OHDA-induced reduction in oxidative stress biomarkers (GSH/GSSG ratio, GPx) and BDNF levels. In conclusion, motor dysfunction, depressive- like behavior, and learning and memory deficits in the 6-OHDA rat model of PD can be significantly prevented by etazolate. This prevention could be attributed to etazolate's ability to prevent reduction in antioxidative stress biomarkers and BDNF levels.

Abstract
Nanoparticles might be produced and manipulated to present a large spectrum of properties. The physicochemical features of the engineered nanomaterials confer to them different features, including the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. The main objective of this review is to present the state-of-art research in nano manipulation concerning Parkinson's disease (PD). In the past few years, the association of drugs with nanoparticles solidly improved treatment outcomes. We systematically reviewed 28 studies, describing their potential contributions regarding the role of nanomedicine to increase the efficacy of known pharmacological strategies for PD treatment. Data from animal models resulted in the (i) improvement of pharmacological properties, (ii) more stable drug concentrations, (iii) longer half-live and (iv) attenuation of pharmacological adverse effects. As this approach is recent, with many of the described works being published less than 5 years ago, the expectancy is that this knowledge gives support to an improvement in the current clinical methods to the management of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Multiple genetic variants have been linked to risk of Parkinson disease (PD), but known mutations do not explain a large proportion of the total PD cases. Similarly, multiple loci have been associated with PD risk by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The influence that genetic factors confer on phenotypic diversity remains unclear. Few studies have been performed to determine whether the GWAS loci are also associated with age at onset (AAO) or motor progression. We used 2 PD case-control data sets (Washington University and the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative) to determine whether polymorphisms located at the GWAS top hits (GBA, ACMSD/TMEM163, STK39, MCCC1/LAMP3, GAK/TMEM175, SNCA, and MAPT) show association with AAO or motor progression. We found associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms at the GBA and MAPT loci and PD AAO and progression. These findings reinforce the complex genetic basis of PD and suggest that distinct genes and variants explain the genetic architecture of PD risk, onset, and progression.

Abstract
CONTEXT Brain disorders remain the world's leading cause of disability, and account for more hospitalizations and prolonged care than almost all other diseases combined. The majority of drugs, proteins and peptides do not readily permeate into brain due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thus impeding treatment of these conditions. OBJECTIVE Attention has turned to developing novel and effective delivery systems to provide good bioavailability in the brain. METHODS Intranasal administration is a non-invasive method of drug delivery that may bypass the BBB, allowing therapeutic substances direct access to the brain. However, intranasal administration produces quite low drug concentrations in the brain due limited nasal mucosal permeability and the harsh nasal cavity environment. Pre-clinical studies using encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticulate systems improved the nose to brain targeting and bioavailability in brain. However, the toxic effects of nanoparticles on brain function are unknown. RESULT AND CONCLUSION This review highlights the understanding of several brain diseases and the important pathophysiological mechanisms involved. The review discusses the role of nanotherapeutics in treating brain disorders via nose to brain delivery, the mechanisms of drug absorption across nasal mucosa to the brain, strategies to overcome the blood brain barrier, nanoformulation strategies for enhanced brain targeting via nasal route and neurotoxicity issues of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Odorranalectin (OL) was recently identified as the smallest lectin with much less immunogenicity than other members of the lectin family. In this study, to improve nose-to-brain drug delivery and reduce the immunogenicity of traditional lectin modified delivery system, OL was conjugated to poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-PLGA) nanoparticles and its biorecognitive activity on nanoparticles was verified by haemagglutination tests. Nose-to-brain delivery characteristic of OL-conjugated nanoparticles (OL-NP) was investigated by in vivo fluorescence imaging technique using DiR as a tracer. Besides, urocortin peptide (UCN), as a macromolecular model drug, was incorporated into nanoparticles and evaluated for its therapeutic efficacy on hemiparkinsonian rats following intranasal administration by rotation behavior test, neurotransmitter determination and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) test. The results suggested that OL modification increased the brain delivery of nanoparticles and enhanced the therapeutic effects of UCN-loaded nanoparticles on Parkinson's disease. In summary, the OL-NPs could be potentially used as carriers for nose-to-brain drug delivery, especially for macromolecular drugs, in the treatment of CNS disorders.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra. Although the exact cause of the dopaminergic neurodegeneration remains elusive, recent postmortem and experimental studies have revealed an essential role for neuroinflammation that is initiated and driven by activated microglial and infiltrated peripheral immune cells and their neurotoxic products (such as proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide) in the pathogenesis of PD. A bacterial endotoxin-based experimental model of PD has been established, representing a purely inflammation-driven animal model for the induction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration. This model, by itself or together with genetic and toxin-based animal models, provides an important tool to delineate the precise mechanisms of neuroinflammation-mediated dopaminergic neuron loss. Here, we review the characteristics of this model and the contribution of neuroinflammatory processes, induced by the in vivo administration of bacterial endotoxin, to neurodegeneration. Furthermore, we summarize the recent experimental therapeutic strategies targeting endotoxin-induced neuroinflammation to elicit neuroprotection in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The potential of the endotoxin-based PD model in the development of an early-stage specific diagnostic biomarker is also emphasized.

Abstract
We have recently observed that the corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) related peptide urocortin reverses key features of nigrostriatal damage in two paradigms of Parkinson's disease. Here we have studied whether these effects are supported by a retention of striatal basal and evoked extracellular dopamine and the receptor(s) that may mediate this effect. Fourteen days following stereotaxic injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and urocortin, extracellular dopamine levels in striata ipsilateral to injection sites of 6-OHDA/LPS and urocortin treated rats were comparable with sham injected rats, whilst rats given 6-OHDA/LPS and vehicle had considerably lower dopamine levels. Striatal dopamine levels in animals where urocortin injection was delayed by seven days were only modestly decreased compared to animals receiving 6-OHDA/LPS and urocortin concomitantly. Additionally, the dopamine metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were also preserved in dialysates from urocortin treated rats. The effects of urocortin were entirely blocked by the non-selective CRF receptor antagonist alpha-helical CRF as well as the selective CRF(1) antagonist NBI 27914 and were not replicated by the selective CRF(2) ligand urocortin III. In the substantia nigra tissue dopamine changes mirrored those seen in striatal extracellular dopamine. Our data strongly suggest that urocortin is capable of maintaining adequate nigrostriatal function in vivo via CRF(1) receptors following. neurotoxic challenge.
