This review explores the therapeutic potential of AGM in treating PD, focusing on its neuroprotective mechanisms and evidence from preclinical studies. AGM has been demonstrated to mitigate the neurotoxic effects of rotenone (ROT) by improving motor function, reducing oxidative stress markers, and decreasing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in animal models. Additionally, AGM protects against the loss of TH + neurons, crucial for dopamine synthesis. The neuroprotective properties of AGM are attributed to its ability to modulate several key pathways implicated in PD pathogenesis, such as inhibition of NMDA receptors, activation of Nrf2, and suppression of the HMGB1/ RAGE/ TLR4/ MyD88/ NF-κB signaling cascade. Furthermore, the potential of agmatine to promote neurorestoration is highlighted by its role in enhancing neuroplasticity elements such as CREB, BDNF, and ERK1/2. This review highlights agmatine's promising therapeutic potential in PD management, suggesting that it could offer both symptomatic relief and neuroprotective benefits, thereby modifying the disease course and improving the quality of life for patients.

A large number of studies have emphasized the role of ferroptosis in AKI. Moreover, FBXW7, a ubiquitin ligase, has been implicated in acute organ injury. Analysis of the GEO database (GSE98622) revealed increased FBXW7 mRNA levels in the kidney following ischemia‒reperfusion (IR). However, the role of FBXW7 in AKI has not been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of FBXW7 in IR-AKI and its underlying mechanisms. Here, we found that IR could induce AKI and increase FBXW7 expression, while the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 alleviated AKI and decreased FBXW7 expression. Furthermore, we treated HK-2 cells with hypoxia for 12 h and reoxygenation for 4 h (H12R4) to simulate IR-AKI and investigated the impact of modulating FBXW7 expression on ferroptosis by employing ferroptosis-related agonists or inhibitors. Our findings revealed that H12R4 induced HK2 ferroptosis and increased the expression of FBXW7. FBXW7 overexpression in control cells exacerbated erastin-induced ferroptosis, and FBXW7 knockdown inhibited ferroptosis in H12R4-treated cells. Mechanistically, we confirmed that FBXW7 can bind to GPX4, a key molecule that inhibits ferroptosis. The half-life of the GPX4 protein decreased after FBXW7 overexpression, GPX4 ubiquitination increased after H12R4, and GPX4 degradation decreased after FBXW7 knockdown.

Therefore, targeting these cells could provide protection against retinal neuroinflammation and neovascularization. In the recent study, we analyzed effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on microglia in vitro and in vivo. We showed that the AgNPs interact in vitro with stimulated mouse CD45/CD11b positive cells (microglia/macrophages), decrease their secretion of nitric oxide and vascular endothelial growth factor, and regulate the expression of genes for Iba-1 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). In our in vivo experimental mouse model, the intravitreal application of a mixture of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β and interferon-γ induced local inflammation and increased local expression of genes for inducible nitric oxide synthase, IL-α, IL-1β and galectin-3 in the retina. This stimulation of local inflammatory reaction was significantly inhibited by intravitreal administration of AgNPs. The application of AgNPs also decreased the presence of CD11b/Galectin-3 positive cells in neuroinflammatory retina, but did not influence viability of cells and expression of gene for rhodopsin in the retinal tissue.
