However, effective acute treatments to prevent long-term sequelae are currently limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of CD169-expressing macrophages during the acute phase of NMO. We developed an NMO mouse model by injecting high-affinity AQP4-IgG with human complement into the striatum, inducing NMO-like lesions marked by astrocyte loss and infiltration of microglia/macrophages and neutrophils. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that CD169-expressing macrophages were the predominant infiltrating cells within the lesion core. Based on this finding, we explored the therapeutic potential of blocking CD169 function to mitigate NMO. CD169+ macrophages were activated by astrocytopathy, partially through SYK signaling, leading to significant neuronal loss and motor deficits. Treatment with an anti-CD169 antibody significantly reduced neuronal loss, improved motor function, and inhibited the phagocytic activity of CD169+ macrophages. Our findings demonstrate that CD169-expressing macrophages play a critical role in exacerbating tissue damage and functional decline during the acute phase of NMO. Targeting CD169 signaling may represent a promising therapeutic strategy to reduce pathological phagocytosis and prevent secondary injury in NMO.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12246,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Neurology","volume":"392 ","pages":"Article 115355"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144495432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the impact of CRD on PD progression using a 6-hydroxydopamine induced experimental PD model in mice. CRD was induced using a chronic jet lag protocol and mice were divided into four main groups as Sham, CRD, PD and PD + CRD. Behavioral assessments, immunofluorescence staining, and proteomic analyses were performed to evaluate functional and molecular changes. Non-lesional CRD groups have shown that CRD can cause molecular changes that may sensitise neural tissue to degeneration. CRD significantly worsened motor asymmetry, reduced locomotor activity PD mice. Neuropathological analysis revealed a marked reduction in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH<sup>+</sup>) dopaminergic neurons in the SN and decreased TH fiber density in the striatum, indicating enhanced neurodegeneration. Proteomic analysis identified 427 differentially expressed proteins in the SN and 115 in the striatum, with key alterations in pathways related to mitochondrial function, oxidative phosphorylation, dopaminergic signaling, proteasome-mediated protein degradation, and ferroptosis. Notably, proteins involved in cytoskeletal stability (MARK1, Septin3), neuroinflammation (JAK2, Ifi208), and metabolic regulation (PDE4A, ACSL3) exhibited significant changes in CRD-exposed PD mice.

However, the impact of taVNS on O-GlcNAc modification and memory function under acute stress conditions remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effects of taVNS on memory impairment in acutely stressed mice and elucidate the potential mechanisms involving O-GlcNAc in this process. The results indicate that intermittent taVNS, compared to continuous taVNS, significantly improved memory function in acutely stressed mice, with the 5 Hz stimulation showing the most significant effect and effectively reducing O-GlcNAc levels in the hippocampus. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis revealed that blocking O-GlcNAc led to abnormal activation of the STAT3 pathway. Subsequent biochemical analysis confirmed that intermittent taVNS modulated the expression of IL-6 and phosphorylated STAT3, suggesting that it protects memory function by mediating neuroinflammatory responses through the regulation of O-GlcNAc modification. Notably, the memory-protective effect of taVNS was significantly diminished after blocking hippocampal O-GlcNAc flux, supporting the hypothesis that taVNS safeguards memory function via O-GlcNAc modification.
