Association between exposure to air pollution and late-life neurodegenerative disorders: An umbrella review

LeeAnn Tan, Erika Nakanishi, Mihye Lee

Summary: The umbrella review focused on the association between exposure to air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and increased risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. While individual studies frequently report these associations, attempts at quantitative synthesis generally result in suggestive support for the strength of the associations. Further improvements in study design, analysis, and reporting are recommended for future research to enhance consistency and utility of findings.

Cdk5 Promotes Mitochondrial Fission via Drp1 Phosphorylation at 5616 in Chronic Ethanol Exposure-Induced Cognitive Impairment

Dandan Liu, Jiande Li, Xiaoming Rong, Jie Li, Ying Peng, Qingyu Shen

Summary: Excessive alcohol consumption can cause structural and functional changes in the brain, leading to irreversible learning and memory disorders. This study found that chronic ethanol exposure leads to abnormal mitochondrial fission/fusion and morphology by activating Drp1 and upregulating Drp1 receptors, while decreasing Opa1 and Mfn1 levels. Interfering with abnormal Cdk5 activation can attenuate hippocampal neuron injury and cognitive deficits induced by chronic ethanol exposure by inhibiting Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission and dysfunction.

Exposure to a mixture of heavy metals induces cognitive impairment: Genes and microRNAs involved

Hai Duc Nguyen, Min-Sun Kim

Summary: Converging evidence suggests that miRNAs play a crucial role in cognitive impairment. This study aimed to identify the molecular mechanisms of heavy metals, particularly miRNAs, in cognitive impairment and to develop miRNA sponges to prevent their binding to target messenger RNAs. Data-mining approaches and network analysis were used to identify key genes, miRNAs, pathways, and diseases associated with cognitive impairment. Several significant miRNAs related to cognitive impairment were identified, and miRNA sponge sequences were created and evaluated in silico. Further investigations are needed to validate these findings in vivo and in vitro.

Psychiatric symptoms in multiple sclerosis: a biological perspective on synaptic and network dysfunction

Giulia Menculini, Andrea Mancini, Lorenzo Gaetani, Laura Bellingacci, Alfonso Tortorella, Lucilla Parnetti, Massimiliano Di Filippo

Summary: Psychiatric symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) are diverse, ranging from clear-cut psychiatric disorders to isolated psychopathological manifestations. These clinical features often go misdiagnosed, receive suboptimal treatment, and are not adequately assessed in disease activity quantification. Pathogenesis of psychiatric symptoms in MS involves emotional reactions to the disability caused by the disease as well as structural damage in the central nervous system. Biological perspective reveals that MS-related psychiatric manifestations are associated with synaptic and neural network dysfunction due to diffuse brain damage from inflammation and neurodegeneration.

Massimo Filippi, Giordano Cecchetti, Annachiara Cagnin, Camillo Marra, Flavio Nobili, Lucilla Parnetti, Federica Agosta

Summary: Currently, no disease-modifying therapies are available for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Europe. However, evidence from clinical trials suggests that anti-beta amyloid (Aβ) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) may be authorized for marketing in the near future. A group of prominent AD clinical experts in Italy met to discuss patient selection and management strategies, recognizing the need for significant changes in dementia care to implement disease-modifying therapies. They emphasized the importance of a biological diagnosis using amyloid- and tau-related biomarkers, as well as specialized diagnostic work-up and exclusion criteria assessment by neurology specialists. The experts also proposed a reorganization of dementia and cognitive decline centers into three levels with defined tasks and requirements.
