TPI Df is characterized by hemolytic anemia, progressive neuromuscular degeneration, and a markedly reduced lifespan. The disease has predominately been studied using invertebrate and <em>in vitro</em> models, which lack key aspects of the human disease. While other groups have generated mammalian <em>Tpi1</em> mutant strains, specifically with the mouse <em>mus musculus,</em> these do not recapitulate key characteristic phenotypes of the human disease. Reported here is the generation of a novel murine model of TPI Df. CRISPR-Cas9 was utilized to engineer the most common human disease-causing mutation, <em>Tpi1</em><sup><em>E105D</em></sup><em>,</em> and <em>Tpi1</em><sup><em>null</em></sup> mice were also isolated as a frame-shifting deletion. <em>Tpi1</em><sup><em>E105D/null</em></sup> mice experience a markedly shortened lifespan, postural abnormalities consistent with extensive neuromuscular dysfunction, hemolytic anemia, pathological changes in spleen, and decreased body weight. There is a ∼95% reduction in TPI protein levels in <em>Tpi1</em><sup><em>E105D/null</em></sup> animals compared to wild-type littermates, consistent with decreased TPI protein stability, a known cause of TPI Df. This work illustrates the capability of <em>Tpi1</em><sup><em>E105D/null</em></sup> mice to serve as a mammalian model of human TPI Df. This work will allow for advancement in the study of TPI Df within a model with physiology similar to humans. The development of the model reported here will enable mechanistic studies of disease pathogenesis and, importantly, efficacy testing in a mammalian system for emerging TPI Df treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72752,"journal":{"name":"Current research in neurobiology","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d2/48/main.PMC9673098.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10654700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the quest of untangling the underlying mechanism behind the neuroprotective effect of Embelin in AD, an <em>in-vitro</em> study of Embelin against neuronal damage induced by Streptozotocin (STZ) in rat hippocampal neuronal culture was performed. Current findings demonstrated that Embelin (2.5–10 μM) has efficiently protected hippocampal neurons against STZ (8 mM)-induced neurotoxicity. An increase in amyloid precursor protein (APP), microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha (GSK-3α) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) expression levels was observed when STZ (8 mM) stimulation was done for 24 h in the hippocampal neurons. A significant downregulation in the mRNA expression levels of APP, MAPT, GSK-3α, and GSK-3β upon pre-treatment with different doses of Embelin (2.5 μM, 5 μM and 10 μM) reflects that Embelin attenuated STZ-induced dysfunction of insulin signaling (IR). Embelin significantly modulated the mRNA expression of scavenger enzyme Superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Furthermore, STZ had significantly upregulates an expression of Aβ.

Consistent with previous findings, fMRI activity in left inferior frontal gyrus during semantic encoding correlated with subsequent high memory accuracy and strong subjective recollection. Stimulation of the posterior parietal cortex decoupled its network – the hippocampal-cortical network – from left inferior frontal gyrus. Furthermore, posterior parietal stimulation reduced highly accurate subjective recollection. Critically, both of these changes occurred relative to stimulation of the anterior parietal cortex. Stimulating anterior versus posterior parietal cortex therefore differentiated hippocampal network involvement in episodic memory.

The phases of ASSR across electrodes can be affected by factors including the stimulus modulation rate and re-referencing strategy, which will in turn affect the estimated ASSR strength. To explore the relationship between the classical vertical-montage ASSR and whole-scalp ASSR, we applied these two techniques to the same data to estimate the strength of ASSRs evoked by tones with sinusoidal amplitude modulation rates of around 40, 100, and 200 Hz. The whole-scalp methods evaluated in our study, with either linked-mastoid or common-average reference, included ones that assume equal phase across all channels, as well as ones that allow for different phase relationships.

Nonetheless, it is still not fully understood how the coupling between different stimuli and the activity of constitutively and/or <em>de novo</em> expressed proteins gate neuronal plasticity. Here, we discuss the molecular functions of the Growth Arrest and DNA Damage 45 (Gadd45) family of proteins in neuronal adaptation. We highlight recent findings that indicate that Gadd45 family members regulate this function through multiple cellular processes (e.g., DNA demethylation, gene expression, RNA stability, MAPK signaling). We then summarize the regulation of Gadd45 expression in neurons and put forward the hypothesis that the constitutive and neuronal activity-induced pools of Gadd45 proteins have distinct and complementary roles in modulating neuronal plasticity. Therefore, we propose that Gadd45 proteins are essential for brain function and their dysfunction might underlie pathophysiological conditions such as neuropsychiatric disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72752,"journal":{"name":"Current research in neurobiology","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100031"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/0f/99/main.PMC9846468.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10581801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aimed to determine whether brain responses to cyberbullying differ according to gender and level of wellbeing. We hypothesised that females and males would activate different regions of the brain when witnessing cyberbullying, and that this would be influenced by wellbeing levels and prior cyberbullying experiences. Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) responses were examined in participants (N = 32, aged 18–25 years; 66% female) whilst observing cyberbullying versus neutral stimuli during a functional MRI. Results revealed significant correlations between BOLD signal and achievement scores among males, but not females, with previous experiences of cyberbullying, in regions including the cerebellum, the superior and inferior frontal gyrus, and the precuneus. Furthermore, males who previously cyberbullied others, with higher scores in achievement (a wellbeing sub-category), activated brain regions associated with executive function, social cognition, and self-evaluation, when viewing the cyberbullying stimuli. In addition, despite gender, BOLD signal in the cingulate gyrus was negatively correlated with cyberbullying scores, and BOLD signal in the left dorsal caudate and the cerebellum was independently and positively correlated with achievement scores. Taken together, these findings provide insights into brain responses to cyberbullying scenarios and emphasize that there are some significant variations according to gender.
