TREM2-dependent microglial function is essential for remyelination and subsequent neuroprotection

Yuanyuan Wang et al.

Summary: Disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) is partially caused by the failure of remyelination and progressive neurodegeneration. The role of microglia, especially triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), in remyelination is significant. In this study, using a mouse model of focal demyelination, we found that TREM2 knockout mice had persistent demyelination and subsequent neurodegeneration lasting more than 6 weeks. Furthermore, TREM2 knockout microglia showed defects in migration and phagocytosis of myelin debris.

Moderate exercise induces trained immunity in macrophages

Mayoorey Murugathasan et al.

Summary: Exercise can modify the metabolism and epigenetic genome of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), leading to suppression of inflammatory responses. The study found that chronic moderate training can decrease NF-κB activation and proinflammatory gene expression in BMDMs stimulated with bacterial components, while increasing the expression of M2-like-associated genes. This is accompanied by improved mitochondrial quality and reduced production of reactive oxygen species. These findings suggest that exercise influences the inflammatory responses of macrophages by reprogramming their metabolism and epigenetic genome.

Exercise Alleviates Behavioral Disorders but Shapes Brain Metabolism of APP/PS1 Mice in a Region- and Exercise-Specific Manner

Na Ying et al.

Summary: Exercise, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), can improve behavioral and cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice. Metabolomics analysis reveals significant changes in energy metabolism, neurotransmitter metabolism, and membrane metabolism in multiple brain regions after both types of exercises. HIIT also alters astrocyte-neuron metabolism in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of AD mice. These findings suggest that exercise can modulate brain metabolism in a region- and exercise-specific manner, potentially providing a novel approach for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Itaconate ameliorates autoimmunity by modulating T cell imbalance via metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming

Kuniyuki Aso et al.

Summary: The study reveals that itaconate can alter T cell function and impact the development of autoimmune diseases through modulation of metabolic and epigenetic programs. Itaconate inhibits Th17 cell differentiation and promotes Treg cell differentiation by suppressing glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. The metabolic changes induced by itaconate also affect chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, and gene expression in Th17 and Treg cell differentiation. Furthermore, the adoptive transfer of itaconate-treated Th17 cells can ameliorate autoimmune encephalomyelitis. These findings suggest that itaconate is a crucial metabolic regulator for Th17/Treg cell balance and can be a potential therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases.

Home-based exercise training influences gut bacterial levels in multiple sclerosis

Motahare Mokhtarzade et al.

Summary: Home-based exercise has a significant impact on gut bacteria in people with multiple sclerosis, particularly on prevotella and akkermansia muciniphila counts, which may benefit MS disease pathology and course. However, the lack of changes in circulating cytokine levels following exercise suggests the involvement of mechanisms other than modulation of IL-10 and TNF-alpha levels.

Strength Exercise Confers Protection in Central Nervous System Autoimmunity by Altering the Gut Microbiota

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that strength exercise can ameliorate disease severity and neuropathology in an animal model of multiple sclerosis, increase abundance and diversity of gut microbiota, decrease Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and promote the growth of bacteria producing short-chain fatty acids. This indicates a protective role of strength exercise in neuroimmunomodulation effects through changes to the gut microbiome.

Neuroprotective role of galantamine with/without physical exercise in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rats

Mohamed A. El-Emam et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the use of the anticholinesterase and cholinergic drug galantamine with or without exercise can effectively reduce disease scores and improve motor performance in the management of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The drug can inhibit inflammation and apoptosis, promote remyelination of neurons, and exercise can enhance the drug's effects.

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.
