Fluoride Induced Neurobehavioral Impairments in Experimental Animals: a Brief Review

Harsheema Ottappilakkil et al.

Summary: Fluoride is a major toxicant in the environment and can lead to fluorosis, causing detrimental pathological conditions in living organisms. The accumulation of fluoride in the brain affects its structure and function, leading to neurotoxicity and impaired cognitive activities. The neural damage caused by fluoride includes hindrances in synaptic plasticity and signal transmission, early neuronal apoptosis, alterations in intercellular signaling pathway components, improper protein synthesis, dyshomeostasis of transcriptional and neurotrophic factors, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses. While animal studies support a positive correlation between fluoride intake and toxicity phenotypes associated with neurotoxicity, the experimental dosages used are difficult to compare with human exposures, making it challenging to draw general conclusions.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Alleviated Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Obese Rats

Tao Xie et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) provides protection for stroke injury in obese patients. Rats were fed high-fat diet (HFD) for 4 weeks and subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). After FMT for 30 days, various measurements were taken to evaluate the effects. The results showed that FMT attenuated cerebral ischemic injury in obese rats by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis in the brain.

Microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids mediate the effects of dengzhan shengmai in ameliorating cerebral ischemia via the gut-brain axis

Hui-Hui Guo et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the Dengzhan shengmai (DZSM) formula improves cerebral ischemic diseases by regulating the gut microbiota and their production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). DZSM treatment altered the gut microbiota composition and enhanced SCFA production, leading to the inhibition of neurocyte apoptosis and the improvement of cerebral neuropathy and oxidative stress. Additionally, DZSM repaired gut barrier integrity, reduced endotoxin translocation, and attenuated neuro-inflammation.

Gut dysbiosis, defective autophagy and altered immune responses in neurodegenerative diseases: Tales of a vicious cycle

Saravana Babu Chidambaram et al.

Summary: The human microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes and is involved in bidirectional communication with the brain through the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA). Disruptions in the gut microbiota, known as gut dysbiosis, contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases by triggering chronic neuroinflammation, impaired autophagy, and accumulation of misfolded proteins. Modulating the gut microbiota through interventions such as prebiotics, probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) shows promise as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases.

The role of short-chain fatty acids in central nervous system diseases

Yin Dong et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as metabolites of the gut microbiota, play important roles in intestinal physiology and immune function. Recent research has focused on the role of SCFAs in the central nervous system (CNS). It has been found that SCFAs can regulate inflammatory response, neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress, and blood-brain barrier integrity in CNS diseases. This article summarizes the changes, effects, and mechanisms of different SCFAs in various CNS diseases, and suggests that SCFAs could be a potential therapeutic target for CNS diseases.

Summary: Acetate supplementation was found to significantly improve depression-like behaviors in mice and enhance dendritic branches and spine density of CA1 pyramidal neurons. Administration of acetate rescued down-regulated BDNF and TrkB levels. Chronic acetate treatment led to decreased transcription levels of HDAC2, HDAC5, HDAC7, HDAC8, increased transcription levels of HAT and P300, and boosted Ac-CoA content in the nucleus, promoting the acetylation levels of histone H3 and H4, ultimately producing antidepressant-like effects through increased histone acetylation and improved synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.
