Walker KA, Le Page LM, Terrando N, Duggan MR, Heneka MT, Bettcher BM. The role of peripheral inflammatory insults in Alzheimer's disease: a review and research roadmap. Mol Neurodegener 2023; 18:37. [PMID: 37277738 PMCID: PMC10240487 DOI: 10.1186/s13024-023-00627-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Peripheral inflammation, defined as inflammation that occurs outside the central nervous system, is an age-related phenomenon that has been identified as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. While the role of chronic peripheral inflammation has been well characterized in the context of dementia and other age-related conditions, less is known about the neurologic contribution of acute inflammatory insults that take place outside the central nervous system. Herein, we define acute inflammatory insults as an immune challenge in the form of pathogen exposure (e.g., viral infection) or tissue damage (e.g., surgery) that causes a large, yet time-limited, inflammatory response. We provide an overview of the clinical and translational research that has examined the connection between acute inflammatory insults and Alzheimer's disease, focusing on three categories of peripheral inflammatory insults that have received considerable attention in recent years: acute infection, critical illness, and surgery. Additionally, we review immune and neurobiological mechanisms which facilitate the neural response to acute inflammation and discuss the potential role of the blood-brain barrier and other components of the neuro-immune axis in Alzheimer's disease. After highlighting the knowledge gaps in this area of research, we propose a roadmap to address methodological challenges, suboptimal study design, and paucity of transdisciplinary research efforts that have thus far limited our understanding of how pathogen- and damage-mediated inflammatory insults may contribute to Alzheimer's disease. Finally, we discuss how therapeutic approaches designed to promote the resolution of inflammation may be used following acute inflammatory insults to preserve brain health and limit progression of neurodegenerative pathology.

Prospective analysis of plasma amyloid beta and postoperative delirium in the Interventions for Postoperative Delirium: Biomarker-3 study. Br J Anaesth 2023; 130:546-556. [PMID: 36842841 PMCID: PMC10273086 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of postoperative delirium on the amyloid cascade of Alzheimer's dementia is poorly understood. Using early postoperative plasma biomarkers, we explored whether surgery and delirium are associated with changes in amyloid pathways. METHODS We analysed data from 100 participants in the Interventions for Postoperative Delirium: Biomarker-3 (IPOD-B3) cohort study in the USA (NCT03124303 and NCT01980511), which recruited participants aged >65 yr undergoing non-intracranial surgery. We assessed the relationship between the change in plasma amyloid beta ratio (AβR; Aβ42:Aβ40) and delirium incidence (defined by the 3-Minute Diagnostic Confusion Assessment Method) and severity (quantified by the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98, the study's primary outcome). We also tested the relationship between plasma amyloid beta and intraoperative variables. RESULTS Across all participants, the plasma AβR increased from the preoperative period to postoperative Day 1 (Wilcoxon P<0.001). However, this increase was not associated with delirium incidence (Wilcoxon P=0.22) or peak severity after adjusting for confounders (log[incidence rate ratio]=0.43; P=0.14). Postoperative Day 1 change in plasma AβR was not associated with postoperative Day 1 change in plasma tau, neurofilament light, or inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-12), or with operative time or low intraoperative arterial pressure. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative changes in plasma amyloid do not appear to be associated with postoperative delirium. Our findings do not support associations of dynamic changes in amyloid with postoperative delirium. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION .NCT03124303 and NCT01980511.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospitalization in older age is associated with accelerated cognitive decline, typically preceded by neuropathologic changes. We assess the association between indication for hospitalization and brain neurodegeneration. METHODS Included were participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, a population-based longitudinal study, with ≥1 brain imaging available in those older than 60 years of age between 2004 and 2017. Primary analyses used linear mixed-effects models to assess association of hospitalization with changes in longitudinal trajectory of cortical thinning, amyloid accumulation, and white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Additional analyses were performed with imaging outcomes dichotomized (normal vs abnormal) using Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Of 2 480 participants, 1 966 had no hospitalization and 514 had ≥1 admission. Hospitalization was associated with accelerated cortical thinning (annual slope change -0.003 mm [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.005 to -0.001], p = .002), but not amyloid accumulation (0.003 [95% CI -0.001 to 0.006], p = .107), or WMH increase (0.011 cm3 [95% CI -0.001 to 0.023], p = .062). Interaction analyses assessing whether trajectory changes are dependent on admission type (medical vs surgical) found interactions for all outcomes. While surgical hospitalizations were not, medical hospitalizations were associated with accelerated cortical thinning (-0.004 mm [95% CI -0.008 to -0.001, p = .014); amyloid accumulation (0.010, [95% CI 0.002 to 0.017, p = .011), and WMH increase (0.035 cm3 [95% CI 0.012 to 0.058, p = .006). Hospitalization was not associated with developing abnormal cortical thinning (p = .407), amyloid accumulation (p = .596), or WMH/infarctions score (p = .565). CONCLUSIONS Medical hospitalizations were associated with accelerated cortical thinning, amyloid accumulation, and WMH increases. These changes were modest and did not translate to increased risk for crossing the abnormality threshold.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:1338. [PMID: 36660632 PMCID: PMC9843339 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-5496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background The regulatory role of mitochondria in the inflammatory response of the nervous system postoperatively remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between mitochondria and postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD) by regulating mitochondrial function in aged rats undergoing splenectomy. Methods A total of 120 aged rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=24) as follows: Control group (not subjected to any form of treatment), Sham group (subjected only to sham-splenectomized operation after anesthesia), Splenectomy group (only underwent splenectomy after anesthesia), Synonyms Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) group [treated with Mdivi-1, a dynamin-relatedprotein 1 (Drp1) inhibitor], and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) group (treated with DMSO, a solvent). Inflammatory markers, namely interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were measured in the plasma and brains of the rats. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Results During the perioperative period, the physiological parameters did not differ among the five groups (P>0.05). The results of the Morris water maze experiments showed that the memory of the rats was significantly impaired after splenectomy, which was alleviated by Mdivi-1 administration (P=0.04). Postoperatively, the proinflammatory cytokine levels in the serum and hippocampus tissue were upregulated, while Mdivi-1 administration reduced this increase. The electron microscopy and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining results indicated that the structure of neurons and mitochondria was minimally impaired in the Mdivi-1 group. Conclusions Aged rats that underwent splenectomy exhibited significant postoperative cognitive impairments. The selective inhibitor of Drp1, Mdivi-1, exerted protective effects against PNCD by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing the inflammatory response.
