Abstract
Altered N-glycosylation of proteins on the cell membrane is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are an ideal model for studying glycosylation and neuroinflammation, but whether aberrant N-glycosylation in microglia can be restored by diet remains unknown. Herein, we profiled the N-glycome, proteome, and glycoproteome of the human microglia following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction to probe the impact of dietary and gut microbe-derived fatty acids-oleic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, valeric acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, and propionic acid-on neuroinflammation using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. LPS changed N-glycosylation in the microglial glycocalyx altering high mannose and sialofucosylated N-glycans, suggesting the dysregulation of mannosidases, fucosyltransferases, and sialyltransferases. The results were consistent as we observed the restoration effect of the fatty acids, especially oleic acid, on the LPS-treated microglia, specifically on the high mannose and sialofucosylated glycoforms of translocon-associated proteins, SSRA and SSRB along with the cell surface proteins, CD63 and CD166. In addition, proteomic analysis and in silico modeling substantiated the potential of fatty acids in reverting the effects of LPS on microglial N-glycosylation. Our results showed that N-glycosylation is likely affected by diet by restoring alterations following LPS challenge, which may then influence the disease state.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease resulting in progressive loss of memory, language and motor abilities caused by cortical and hippocampal degeneration. This review captures the landscape of understanding of AD pathology, diagnostics, and current therapies. Two major mechanisms direct AD pathology: (1) accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaque and (2) tau-derived neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The most common variants in the Aβ pathway in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 are largely responsible for early-onset AD (EOAD), while MAPT, APOE, TREM2 and ABCA7 have a modifying effect on late-onset AD (LOAD). More recent studies implicate chaperone proteins and Aβ degrading proteins in AD. Several tests, such as cognitive function, brain imaging, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood tests, are used for AD diagnosis. Additionally, several biomarkers seem to have a unique AD specific combination of expression and could potentially be used in improved, less invasive diagnostics. In addition to genetic perturbations, environmental influences, such as altered gut microbiome signatures, affect AD. Effective AD treatments have been challenging to develop. Currently, there are several FDA approved drugs (cholinesterase inhibitors, Aß-targeting antibodies and an NMDA antagonist) that could mitigate AD rate of decline and symptoms of distress.
