NFIL3 deficiency alleviates EAE through regulating different immune cell subsets

Zhigang Chen et al.

Summary: This study found that NFIL3 deficiency could alleviate MOG35-55-induced EAE by regulating different immune cell subsets, especially the crosstalk between CD4+ T cells and CD11c+ dendritic cells.

Terpenoid Backbone Biosynthesis among Pig Hippocampal Pathways Impacted by Stressors

Haley E. Rymut et al.

Summary: This study reveals that maternal immune activation (MIA) during gestation and the stress of weaning can alter brain plasticity in the offspring's hippocampus by inducing neurogenomic changes. The transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes and enriched immunological and neurological pathways affected by MIA, weaning, and sex. Weaning and sex were found to modify the effects of MIA on the offspring's hippocampus.

Activation of GIPR Exerts Analgesic and Anxiolytic-Like Effects in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Mice

Xin-shang Wang et al.

Summary: Chronic pain, often accompanied by anxiety disorders, is difficult to treat due to the exacerbating relationship between the two conditions. GIP, previously studied in neurodegenerative diseases, was found to have analgesic and anxiolytic effects in the treatment of chronic inflammatory pain and pain-related anxiety, possibly through attenuation of neuroinflammation and inhibition of excitatory transmission in the ACC. GIPR activation may be a promising target for future therapies.

Mediators of Capillary-to-Venule Conversion in the Chronic Inflammatory Skin Disease Psoriasis

Yuliang He et al.

Summary: This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptomic alterations in blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells from psoriatic and healthy human skin. The results showed specific molecular repatterning and dysregulated gene regulatory networks in different subpopulations of endothelial cells in psoriasis. These findings provide insights into the specific transcriptional responses and regulatory mechanisms of endothelial cells in chronic skin inflammation.

Neural insights into sweet taste transduction and hunger-induced taste modification in mice

Ken-ichiro Nakajima

Summary: Feeding is a fundamental activity for animal survival and reproduction, and the gustatory system plays a crucial role in evaluating food quality. While previous research has mainly focused on taste receptor cells, little is known about the brain mechanisms involved in taste transduction and modification. This review presents the recent findings on sweet taste transduction in the brainstem of mice and discusses the hypothalamic neuronal network regulating hunger-induced taste modification.

Maternal immune activation primes deficiencies in adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Amalie C. M. Couch et al.

Summary: Neurogenesis, the generation of new neurons, occurs throughout life in the mammalian hippocampus. Decreased adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a common feature of psychiatric disorders, potentially influenced by maternal immune activation. Evidence suggests that specific cytokines induced by MIA may disrupt neural progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation in the fetal brain, leading to potential vulnerabilities and susceptibility to psychopathology later in life. Further studies using animal models and patient-derived stem cells are needed to explore this hypothesis.

Maternal immune activation in rodent models: A systematic review of neurodevelopmental changes in gene expression and epigenetic modulation in the offspring brain

Rebecca M. Woods et al.

Summary: By systematically reviewing 118 studies, it was found that maternal immune activation (mIA) during pregnancy can cause changes in the transcriptome and epigenome of specific offspring brain regions, including elevated inflammatory markers and reduced myelin and GABA signaling proteins. Disturbed epigenetic markers at nine genes supported mIA-driven epigenetic modulation of transcription.

Interacting impact of maternal inflammatory response and stress on the amygdala transcriptome of pigs

Marissa R. Keever-Keigher et al.

Summary: Changes at the molecular level due to weaning stress and maternal immune activation (MIA) can influence the physiology and gene networks in the developing brain, with effects that vary by sex. The study identified specific genes associated with MIA-related neurological disorders and showed that weaning stress can further impact gene expression in the amygdala, potentially affecting behaviors such as aggression and feeding.

Biochemistry and Immune Biomarkers Indicate Interacting Effects of Pre- and Postnatal Stressors in Pigs across Sexes

Haley E. Rymut et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of maternal immune activation (MIA) elicited by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and postnatal metabolic or immune stressors on chemical and inflammatory biomarkers in male and female pigs. The results suggest that MIA interacting with postnatal stressors can have long-lasting effects on pig physiology, potentially impacting health, growth, and reproductive performance later in life.

The Genome-Wide Binding Profile for Human RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor Unveils a Unique Genetic Circuitry in Hippocampus

James C. McGann et al.

Summary: Early studies in mouse neurodevelopment led to the discovery of the RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor (REST) and its role as a master repressor of neuronal gene expression. Recent findings show that REST also represses neuronal genes in the human adult brain, potentially protecting the longevity and function of both neurons and glia. Research reveals an expansion of REST binding sites in the human hippocampus, associated with genes involved in innate immunity processes and inflammation signaling, which may impact glial function.

The Combined Effect of Weaning Stress and Immune Activation during Pig Gestation on Serum Cytokine and Analyte Concentrations

Haley E. Rymut et al.

Summary: This study explores the combined effects of maternal immune activation and weaning stress on blood chemistry, immune, and hormone indicators in pigs. Results suggest that maternal immune activation may increase tolerance to disruptions triggered by weaning stress and that weaning stress can impact the metabolic, hormone, and immune systems of pigs. The study provides insights into the interaction between MIA and weaning stress and its implications for pig performance and health management practices.

Impact of Weaning and Maternal Immune Activation on the Metabolism of Pigs

Bruce R. Southey et al.

Summary: Weaning and prenatal stress can impact the offspring's liver function and metabolic pathways. Weaning leads to changes in hepatic metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation, while prenatal stress affects amino acids and cholesterol levels. The findings suggest that these stressors can influence metabolic products associated with health and behavior disorders in the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Effects of maternal immune activation in porcine transcript isoforms of neuropeptide and receptor genes

Bruce R. Southey et al.

Summary: The study highlights the long-term effects of maternal immune activation during gestation on molecular pathways in offspring, particularly in relation to neurodevelopmental and behavior disorders. By examining transcript isoforms in the neuropeptide system, researchers found that maternal immune activation can have opposite effects on different isoforms of the same gene, which may complicate the replicability of results. This research contributes to a better understanding of the effects of maternal immune activation on neurodevelopmental disorders and identifies potential therapeutic targets.
