Homocysteine can aggravate depressive like behaviors in a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion rat model: a possible role for NMDARs-mediated synaptic alterations

Mengying Wang et al.

Summary: This study found that hyperhomocysteinemia exacerbates post-stroke depression in rats by affecting synaptic plasticity through decreased synapse numbers, decreased postsynaptic density area, and reduced expression of synaptic transmission-associated proteins. Additionally, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play a critical role in this process.

Francesca Miraglia et al.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of HV test on the functional connectivity of MCI, a prodromal state of Alzheimer's disease. EEG recordings were taken from MCI subjects and age-matched healthy elderly individuals in different conditions. The results showed significant differences in brain network parameters, with the global efficiency values indicating a significant difference between the MCI group and the control group. This suggests that the combination of HV test and graph theory parameters can be a powerful tool for detecting possible cerebral dysfunction.

Revisiting adipose thermogenesis for delaying aging and age-related diseases: Opportunities and challenges

Stefano Tarantini et al.

Summary: Adipose tissue undergoes significant changes with age, including altered secretion of adipokines, decreased adipogenesis, altered immune cell profile, and increased inflammation. Dysfunctional adipose metabolism in aging may contribute to a higher risk of metabolic diseases. Increasing thermogenesis in adipose tissue has shown potential in improving metabolism and treating obesity-related disorders, but challenges exist in applying this strategy to the elderly population. This review summarizes the current understanding of aging and thermogenesis and explores opportunities to target thermogenic mechanisms for delaying aging and age-related diseases, as well as the role of thermogenic adipocytes in healthspan and lifespan extension.

Proteostasis in Parkinson?s disease: Recent development and possible implication in diagnosis and therapeutics

Amrita Kulkarni et al.

Summary: Protein dyshomeostasis plays a key role in age-related neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, characterized by the deposition of Lewy bodies composed of alpha-synuclein protein aggregates. The proper functioning of proteostasis, including unfolded protein response, ubiquitin-proteasome system, and autophagy-lysosome pathway, is crucial for protein synthesis, folding, confirmation, and degradation. Mutational changes in the genes involved in these pathways, as well as epigenetic modifications and microRNA-mediated transcriptional changes, contribute to proteostasis dysregulation. Defective proteostasis leads to the deposition of proteins, which can serve as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Targeting different aspects of proteostasis machinery holds promise for delaying the accumulation of pathological hallmarks.

Resting-state fractal brain connectivity is associated with impaired cognitive performance in healthy aging

Akos Czoch et al.

Summary: Aging affects cognitive functions even in the absence of pathologies. The neurophysiological basis of age-related cognitive decline is not completely understood. This study investigated the relationship between resting-state fractal connectivity (FrC) and cognitive performance in healthy aging. It was found that FrC was reduced in elderly individuals compared to young individuals, and the fractal scaling of frontoparietal connections was related to task performance in elderly but not in young individuals. These results suggest that FrC could serve as a sensitive neurophysiological marker of age-related cognitive decline.

Summary: Differences in brain structure and network architecture can partly explain cognitive performance differences in older adults, making them potential markers for these differences. However, the prediction results of cognitive performance based on these brain features using machine learning are inconsistent. This study aimed to explore the general validity of cognitive performance prediction from imaging data in healthy older adults and found that successful prediction depended on confounding variables. Combining different modalities slightly improved predictability, but developing a biomarker for cognitive aging remains challenging.

Old blood from heterochronic parabionts accelerates vascular aging in young mice: transcriptomic signature of pathologic smooth muscle remodeling

Tamas Kiss et al.

Summary: Vascular aging plays a central role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, leading to increased mortality in older adults. Both cell-autonomous and cell-nonautonomous mechanisms contribute to the regulation of vascular aging processes. Recent studies have shown that circulating anti-geronic factors from young blood can promote vascular rejuvenation in aged mice. This study further investigated the role of circulating pro-geronic factors in the development of vascular aging phenotypes. The findings suggest that old blood can accelerate vascular aging processes, contributing to pathological vascular remodeling mediated by specific transcriptional regulators.

HIV, pathology and epigenetic age acceleration in different human tissues

Steve Horvath et al.

Summary: Epigenetic clocks based on DNA methylation patterns are important for understanding aging and disease, but there are basic questions to be resolved in their application. This study investigates the correlation of epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) between different tissues within an individual, the association of tissue pathology and clinical illness with EAA in the target organ, and the differences in EAA variability across tissues according to sex. The findings indicate that epigenetic age is moderately correlated across tissues, with blood showing the strongest correlation with spleen and bone marrow. However, blood does not correlate with liver epigenetic age. Clinically, hypertension and HIV infection are associated with EAA in different tissues, and male sex is associated with increased epigenetic acceleration in several tissues. Furthermore, greater multimorbidity is associated with higher EAA across all tissues.

Xing Fang et al.

Summary: From the first described AD case in 1901 to the current year 2022, research on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia has come a long way. However, current medications and treatments have not been able to cure AD and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD). Recent studies have identified neurovascular dysfunction and brain hypoperfusion as potential causal factors in the development of AD dementia. Different animal models and approaches used in studies may provide conflicting information, and it is important to critically analyze the available data. The use of aducanumab as a treatment for AD/ADRD and the development of new drugs targeting cerebral vascular pathways offer hope for improved outcomes.

Effect of genetic depletion of MMP-9 on neurological manifestations of hypertension-induced intracerebral hemorrhages in aged mice

Stefano Tarantini et al.

Summary: Clinical and experimental studies have shown that hypertension leads to intracerebral hemorrhages, with aging exacerbating the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) mediated by oxidative stress, but the activation of MMP-9 does not play a role in the age-related exacerbation of hypertension-induced ICH.

Imaging retinal microvascular manifestations of carotid artery disease in older adults: from diagnosis of ocular complications to understanding microvascular contributions to cognitive impairment

Lilla Istvan et al.

Summary: CAS is a consequence of systemic atherosclerotic disease affecting the aging populations of the Western world, often associated with cognitive impairment. Understanding the microvascular contributions to cognitive decline associated with CAS is crucial, and the retinal microvasculature provides a unique opportunity to study this. Ocular examination can be used as a noninvasive screening tool to investigate pathological changes in the CNS associated with CAS.

Endothelial deficiency of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) impairs neurovascular coupling responses in mice, mimicking aspects of the brain aging phenotype

Stefano Tarantini et al.

Summary: The impairment of neurovascular coupling plays a role in the pathogenesis of vascular cognitive impairment, with endothelium-mediated microvascular dilation being central to NVC responses. Disruption of endothelial IGF1R signaling leads to decreased nitric oxide-dependent component of NVC responses, highlighting the importance of IGF-1 in maintaining normal cerebromicrovascular endothelial health.

Treatment with the BCL-2/BCL-xL inhibitor senolytic drug ABT263/Navitoclax improves functional hyperemia in aged mice

Stefano Tarantini et al.

Summary: The present study found that NVC responses were significantly impaired in aged mice, and treatment with ABT263/Navitoclax improved NVC response and hippocampal-encoded functions of learning and memory. The findings suggest that senescent cells in the aged brain may contribute to age-related neurovascular uncoupling, exacerbating cognitive decline. The neurovascular protective effects of ABT263/Navitoclax treatment highlight the potential of senolytic treatments as effective interventions in patients at risk for vascular cognitive impairment.

Steve Horvath et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed epigenetic clocks for common marmosets based on novel DNA methylation data, which showed moderate age correlations with other non-human primate species. The study tested the effects of rapamycin on marmoset epigenetic age but found no significant impact. Additionally, it was noted that unlike other mammals, accurate estimators of sex based on DNA methylation data could not be built for common marmosets.

Necroptosis increases with age in the brain and contributes to age-related neuroinflammation

Nidheesh Thadathil et al.

Summary: Chronic inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) known as neuroinflammation is a key characteristic of aging and cognitive decline, with necroptosis and the MLKL pathway playing a role in age-related neuroinflammation in specific regions of the brain. Blocking necroptosis can reduce neuroinflammation markers in the brains of old mice.
