Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of rAAV-HIF-1α on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in a rat model of Alzheimer disease (AD).
Methods: Thirty-two male SD rats (250-300 g) were randomized into 4 groups (n=8), including the normal control group without any treatment, AD model group with right intracerebroventricular injection of 2 µl Aβ25-35 (10 mg/m1), sham-operated group with right intracerebroventricular injection of 2 µl normal saline, and AD+ rAAV-HIF-1α group with right intracerebroventricular injection of 10 µl rAAV-HIF-1a (1×10¹² v.g./m1) one week after Aβ25-35 injection. The rats were sacrificed to detect the expression of HIF-1α and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons 5 weeks after Aβ25-35 or saline injection.
Results: Western blotting showed that the expression of HIF-1α was significantly higher in AD+rAAV-HIF-1α group (451.59±34.39) than in normal control group (229.05±41.28) and sham-operated group (216.29±37.08) (P<0.05) without significant difference between the latter two groups. The apoptotic ratio of the hippocampal neurons was significantly higher in AD model group ([19.49±2.59]%) than in normal control group ([5.41±0.75]%) and sham-operated group ([5.28±0.66]%) in (P<0.05), and intracerebroventricular injection of rAAV-HIF-1α resulted in a significant reduction of the apoptotic ratio in the AD rats ([12.07±2.06]%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Intracerebroventricular injection of rAAV-HIF-1α can inhibit hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in the rat model of AD.

Timing Matters: How Daily Rhythms Affect Remote Ischemic Postconditioning Therapy for Stroke.

Background: Despite promising preclinical results, remote limb ischemic postconditioning efficacy in human stroke treatment remains unclear, with mixed clinical trial outcomes. A potential reason for translational difficulties could be differences in circadian rhythms between nocturnal rodent models and diurnal humans.
Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia and then exposed to remote postconditioning during their active or inactive phase and euthanized at 24 hours and 3 days.

Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly addictive psychostimulant, and despite its widespread abuse, there are no FDA-approved treatments for METH use disorder (MUD). Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown promise in reducing behaviors linked to psychostimulant use, including METH. However, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear.

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of taurine can induce hypothermia and attenuate stress behaviors in neonatal chicks under control thermoneutral temperature (CT) conditions. While, its ability to withstand heat stress (thermotolerance) has not identified yet. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effects of ICV taurine effects on thermoregulation, mitochondrial thermogenic gene expression, and amino acid metabolism in 5-day-old Julia male chick exposed to either high ambient temperature (HT) or CT conditions.

var. Kudo, a member of the Lamiaceae family, has been previously reported to reduce neuroinflammation and potentially decrease Aβ plaque accumulation in 5XFAD mice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-neuroinflammatory potential of a standardized 60% ethanol extract of Perilla leaves (PE), optimized for commercial application.

Apelin-13, a neuropeptide, has been recognized for its neuroprotective properties. Our previous study found apelin-13 improves cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) rats by inhibiting neuroinflammation through upregulation of BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. However, the precise mechanism by which apelin-13 modulates BDNF remains unclear.
