NLRP3 inflammasome in neurodegenerative disease

Faith L. Anderson et al.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by dysregulated neuro-glial microenvironment and chronic inflammation, which can lead to progressive neuronal loss. The NLRP3 inflammasome has gained interest as a potential target for anti-inflammatory treatments due to its involvement in recognizing pathologic forms of amyloid, tau, and alpha-synuclein. However, there are still gaps in our understanding of how intracellular modifiers and resolution mechanisms regulate inflammasome activation. Further analysis of inflammasome-driven pyroptosis and inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases is important for developing effective therapeutics and biomarkers.

Possible Implications of Obesity-Primed Microglia that Could Contribute to Stroke-Associated Damage

Ricardo Jair Ramirez-Carreto et al.

Summary: Microglia play important roles in physiological and pathological processes in the central nervous system. They are mainly studied for their ability to modulate inflammatory environment and adapt to insults in the brain. Understanding the reactions of microglia in various microenvironments, such as chronic inflammation, is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies. In the context of obesity, neuroinflammation caused by obesity can promote the activation of microglial cells and exacerbate their neurotoxic responses, potentially worsening patients' prognosis.

Oxytocin Improves Intracerebral Hemorrhage Outcomes by Suppressing Neuronal Pyroptosis and Mitochondrial Fission

Miaoxian Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of oxytocin (OXT) in improving outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The results show that endogenous OXT levels decrease while OXT receptor expression increases after ICH. Intranasal application of OXT improves neurological deficits, reduces neuronal pyroptosis and neuroinflammation, and decreases excessive mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress. These effects are mediated by the OXTR/p-PKA/DRP1 signaling pathway. Therefore, OXT administration may be a potential therapeutic strategy for ICH.

NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation: A Therapeutic Target for Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Lixia Wang et al.

Summary: Ischemic stroke is a serious condition, and understanding the molecular mechanisms behind cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is crucial in developing effective treatments. This review focuses on the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in regulating the inflammatory response in brain cells after I/R injury. The assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the induction of pyroptosis, a form of pro-inflammatory cell death. Inhibitors targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome may hold promise for treating cerebral I/R injury.

Gastrodin Alleviates Cerebral Ischaemia/Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Pyroptosis by Regulating the lncRNA NEAT1/miR-22-3p Axis

Heng-Sheng Zhang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Gastrodin (GAS) significantly improved neurological scores and reduced cerebral infarction area in rats by modulating the lncRNA NEAT1/miR-22-3p axis. GAS inhibited pyroptosis by downregulating NLRP3, inflammatory factors (IL-1 beta, IL-18), and cleaved caspase-1. Furthermore, GAS attenuated I/R-induced inflammation in neuronal cells through the modulation of the lncRNA NEAT1/miR-22-3p axis.

Neuroprotective Effects of Curcumin in Cerebral Ischemia: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms

Lalita Subedi et al.

Summary: Curcumin, a polyphenol abundant in turmeric, has shown promising neuroprotective effects in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, including cerebral ischemia. Its pleiotropic effects in the postischemic brain, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, make it a potential therapeutic strategy for treating cerebral ischemia. Studies have validated its neuroprotective effects in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, demonstrating its broad-spectrum efficacy in protecting the brain.

ATN-161 Ameliorates Ischemia/Reperfusion-induced Oxidative Stress, Fibro-inflammation, Mitochondrial damage, and Apoptosis-mediated Tight Junction Disruption in bEnd.3 Cells

Narayanappa Amruta et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significance of α5β1 integrin in ischemic stroke and the therapeutic potential of α5β1 inhibitor ATN-161 in reducing stroke injury through various mechanisms such as decreasing infarct volume, edema, stabilizing BBB, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting immune cell infiltration. ATN-161 effectively attenuates OGD/R-induced damage in mouse brain endothelial cells by inhibiting ECM deposition, oxidative stress, inflammation, tight junction loss, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis. These findings further support the therapeutic targeting of α5 integrin with ATN-161 in ischemic stroke.
