Focusing on the impact of inactivity and ageing, this review examines the consequences on NMJ stability and the role of mitochondrial dysfunction, delving into their complex relationship with ageing and disuse. Evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction can be a pathogenic driver for NMJ alterations, with studies revealing the role of mitochondrial defects in motor neuron degeneration and NMJ instability. Two perspectives behind NMJ instability are discussed: one is that mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle triggers NMJ deterioration, the other envisages dysfunction of motor terminal mitochondria as a primary contributor to NMJ instability. While evidence from these studies supports both perspectives on the relationship between NMJ dysfunction and mitochondrial impairment, gaps persist in the understanding of how mitochondrial dysfunction can cause NMJ deterioration. Further research, both in humans and in animal models, is essential for unravelling the mechanisms and potential interventions for age- and inactivity-related neuromuscular and mitochondrial alterations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55545,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Research Reviews","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102586"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, targeted protein degradation (TPD) technologies have become a novel means of treating NDDs by removing misfolded proteins through the intracellular protein quality control system. The TPD strategy includes the participation of two primary pathways, namely the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (for instance, PROTAC, molecular glue and hydrophobic tag), and the autophagy-lysosome pathway (such as LYTAC, AUTAC and ATTEC). In this review, we systematically present the mechanisms of various TPD strategies employed for neurotoxic protein degradation in NDDs.

The last 20 years also provided strikingly consistent epidemiological evidence showing that the regular consumption of moderate doses of coffee attenuates all-cause mortality, an effect observed in over 50 studies in different geographic regions and different ethnicities. Coffee intake attenuates the major causes of mortality, dampening cardiovascular-, cerebrovascular-, cancer- and respiratory diseases-associated mortality, as well as some of the major causes of functional deterioration in the elderly such as loss of memory, depression and frailty. The amplitude of the benefit seems discrete (17 % reduction) but nonetheless corresponds to an average increase in healthspan of 1.8 years of lifetime. This review explores evidence from studies in humans and human tissues supporting an ability of coffee and of its main components (caffeine and chlorogenic acids) to preserve the main biological mechanisms responsible for the aging process, namely genomic instability, macromolecular damage, metabolic and proteostatic impairments with particularly robust effects on the control of stress adaptation and inflammation and unclear effects on stem cells and regeneration. Further studies are required to detail these mechanistic benefits in aged individuals, which may offer new insights into understanding of the biology of aging and the development of new senostatic strategies. Additionally, the safety of this lifestyle factor in the elderly prompts a renewed attention to recommending the maintenance of coffee consumption throughout life as a healthy lifestyle and to further exploring who gets the greater benefit with what schedules of which particular types and doses of coffee.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55545,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Research Reviews","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102581"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CACH model is based on the concept that cells and organ systems respond to catabolic challenges in ways that bolster their resilience and that an anabolic recovery period is required to effectuate the benefits of the catabolic challenge. As two prominent real-world examples we highlight the literature on the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which physical exercise and intermittent fasting bolster cellular and organismal performance and resilience, and suppress disease processes. Over periods of weeks and months the CACH of exercise and fasting promote optimal health. The hormesis concept is integral to the CACH model and predicts an upper limit to the beneficial effects of catabolic – anabolic cycling that reflects a limit of biological plasticity. This paper extends the hormesis model of health by proposing that 1) it is comprised of two complementary phases: catabolic (adaptive stress responses and conservation of resources) and anabolic (growth and plasticity) and, 2) that CACH is metabolically integrated, quantitatively flexible and dynamically regulated.

In addition to the typical manifestations, pain is a prevalent symptom associated with NDDs, seriously impacting the quality of life for patients. The pathogenesis of pain associated with NDDs is intricate and multifaceted. Currently, the clinical management of NDDs-related pain symptoms predominantly relies on conventional pharmacological agents or physical therapy. However, these approaches often fail to produce satisfactory outcomes. This article summarizes the underlying mechanisms of major NDDs-associated pain: Neuroinflammation, Brain and spinal cord dysfunctions, Mitochondrial dysfunction, Risk gene and pathological protein, as well as Receptor, channel, and neurotransmitter. While numerous studies have investigated the downstream pathological processes associated with these mechanisms, there remains a significant gap in identifying the key initiating factors. Specifically, there is insufficient evidence for the upstream elements that activate microglia and astrocytes in neuroinflammation leading to pain in NDDs. Likewise, there is an absence of upstream factors elucidating how dysfunctions in the brain and spinal cord, as well as mitochondrial impairments, contribute to the development of pain. Furthermore, the specific mechanisms through which hallmark pathological proteins related to NDDs contribute to these pathological processes remain inadequately understood. The objective of this article is to synthesize the existing mechanisms underlying pain associated with NDDs, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Schizophrenia, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Multiple sclerosis, while also identifying gaps and deficiencies in these mechanisms. This paper offers insights for future research trajectories. Given the intricate pathogenesis of NDDs-related pain, it emphasizes that a promising short-term strategy is combination therapy—intervening concurrently in multiple pathological processes—akin to the cocktail approach utilized in treating acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). For long-term advancements, achieving breakthroughs in the treatment of the NDDs themselves will remain essential for alleviating accompanying pain symptoms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55545,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Research Reviews","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102579"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
