TSPO PET signal using [18F]GE180 is associated with survival in recurrent gliomas

Stefanie Quach et al.

Summary: The study aimed to find markers associated with the survival of recurrent glioma patients. By performing TSPO PET scans on patients with glioma recurrence, it was found that the expression of TSPO was related to tumor grade and patient survival. In specific molecular subtypes, TSPO PET could predict survival time, providing a valuable biomarker for individualized patient management.

Diverse human astrocyte and microglial transcriptional responses to Alzheimer's pathology

Amy M. Smith et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant differences in gene expression in astrocytes and microglia in the brains of AD patients, correlated with amyloid-beta or pTau expression. There are distinct gene expression patterns in the two cell types and pathologies, but common gene sets exist in each cell type. Additionally, different sub-clusters are found in astrocytes and microglia, characterized by transcriptional signatures related to either homeostatic functions or disease pathology.

Translocator protein (18kDa) TSPO: a new diagnostic or therapeutic target for stress-related disorders?

Rainer Rupprecht et al.

Summary: Efficient treatment of stress-related disorders remains challenging. Neurosteroids show rapid therapeutic effects, but long-term use is limited by tolerance and side effects. Promoting endogenous neurosteroidogenesis via TSPO could provide a new treatment option.

Long-term diazepam treatment enhances microglial spine engulfment and impairs cognitive performance via the mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO)

Yuan Shi et al.

Summary: Benzodiazepines can cause cognitive impairment by interacting with the mitochondrial protein TSPO, which leads to excessive removal of synapses by microglia. This study reveals a mechanism by which benzodiazepines contribute to cognitive decline, providing important insights for understanding this issue.

Impact of TSPO Receptor Polymorphism on [18F]GE-180 Binding in Healthy Brain and Pseudo-Reference Regions of Neurooncological and Neurodegenerative Disorders

Franziska J. Vettermann et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of rs6971-SNP on [F-18]GE-180 binding in healthy brain and neuro-oncological/neurodegenerative diseases, finding lower binding in LABs compared to MABs and HABs, and successfully validating the frontoparietal and cerebellar regions as pseudo-reference areas.

Cellular sources of TSPO expression in healthy and diseased brain

Erik Nutma et al.

Summary: TSPO, located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, is considered an in vivo marker of neuroinflammation as measured with PET. Changes in TSPO expression are observed in neurodegenerative, neuroinflammatory, and neuropsychiatric diseases, but further studies are needed to fully understand its cellular underpinnings and functional significance.

Activated microglia do not increase 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) expression in the multiple sclerosis brain

Erik Nutma et al.

Summary: The expression of TSPO in the human central nervous system may reflect cell density rather than activation status of microglia/macrophages. This has implications for interpreting TSPO PET signals in MS and other CNS diseases, highlighting the limitations of extrapolating TSPO biology from rodents to humans.

A lymphocyte-microglia-astrocyte axis in chronic active multiple sclerosis

Martina Absinta et al.

Summary: Through MRI-guided single-nucleus RNA sequencing, a diversity of glial and immune cells at the edge of demyelinated white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) have been identified, along with the definition of inflamed glial cell phenotypes in MS. The overlap of the transcriptional profile of microglia inflamed in MS with that in other neurodegenerative diseases suggests common mechanisms between primary and secondary neurodegeneration that could benefit from similar therapeutic approaches. The critical role of complement component 1q (C1q) in the activation of microglia inflamed in MS has been identified and potential therapeutic avenues, such as C1q inhibition, have been suggested for addressing chronic white matter inflammation.

Microglial activation and tau propagate jointly across Braak stages

Tharick A. Pascoal et al.

Summary: The study found a correlation between microglial activation and tau accumulation in patients with Alzheimer's disease, following a Braak-like pattern. The co-occurrence of A β, tau, and microglial abnormalities was identified as the strongest predictor of cognitive impairment in the study population.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
