By employing the high-depth sequencing strategy Smart-seq2, we tracked gene expression changes across various neuron types within this circuit at different stages of AD pathology. We observed a decrease in the extent of gene expression changes in AD versus wild-type (WT) mice as the disease advanced. Functionally, we demonstrate that both mitochondrial and ribosomal pathways were increasingly activated, while neuronal pathways were inhibited with AD progression. Our findings indicate that the reduction of EC-stellate cells disrupts Meg3-mediated energy metabolism, contributing to energy dysfunction in AD. Additionally, we identified GFAP-positive neurons as a distinct population of disease-associated neurons, exhibiting a loss of neuronal-like characteristics, alongside the emergence of glia- and stem-like features. The number of GFAP-positive neurons increased with AD progression, a trend consistently observed in both AD model mice and AD patients. In summary, this study identifies and characterizes GFAP-positive neurons as a novel subtype of disease-associated neurons in AD pathology, providing insights into their potential role in disease progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":20790,"journal":{"name":"Protein & Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144258876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner and is characterized by motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and emotional disturbances. To date, there are no curative treatments for HD have been developed; current therapeutic approaches focus on symptom relief and comprehensive care through coordinated pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods to manage the diverse phenotypes of the disease. International clinical guidelines for the treatment of HD are continually being revised in an effort to enhance care within a multidisciplinary framework. Additionally, innovative gene and cell therapy strategies are being actively researched and developed to address the complexities of the disorder and improve treatment outcomes. This review endeavours to elucidate the current and emerging gene and cell therapy strategies for HD, offering a detailed insight into the complexities of the disorder and looking forward to future treatment paradigms. Considering the complexity of the underlying mechanisms driving HD, a synergistic treatment strategy that integrates various factors-such as distinct cell types, epigenetic patterns, genetic components, and methods to improve the cerebral microenvironment-may significantly enhance therapeutic outcomes. In the future, we eagerly anticipate ongoing innovations in interdisciplinary research that will bring profound advancements and refinements in the treatment of HD.</p>","PeriodicalId":20790,"journal":{"name":"Protein & Cell","volume":" ","pages":"307-337"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12120246/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141910099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
