Cross-sectional study enrolling PLWH without confounding for CXCL13 production. Subjects were divided according to CSF HIV-RNA in undetectable (< 20 cp/mL) and viremics. CSF CXCL13, and biomarkers of blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment, intrathecal synthesis, and immune activation were measured by commercial immunoturbidimetric and ELISA assays. All subjects underwent neurocognitive assessment. Sensitivity analyses were conducted in subjects with intact BBB only. 175 participants were included. Detectable CSF CXCL13 was more common in the viremic (31.4%) compared to the undetectable group (13.5%; OR 2.9 [1.4-6.3], p = 0.006), but median levels did not change (15.8 [8.2-91.0] vs 10.0 [8.1-14.2] pg/mL). In viremics (n = 86), CXCL13 associated with higher CSF HIV-RNA, proteins, neopterin, intrathecal synthesis and BBB permeability. In undetectable participants (n = 89), CXCL13 associated with higher CD4+T-cells count, CD4/CD8 ratio, CSF proteins, neopterin, and intrathecal synthesis. The presence of CXCL13 in the CSF of undetectable participants was associated with increased odds of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (58.3% vs 28.6%, p = 0.041).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of antibiotics pretreatment on the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mice. In this study, vancomycin pretreatment was given by gavage once daily with either vancomycin or distilled water for 14 days to mice, then mice were administered with MPTP (20 mg/kg, i.p) for four times in one day to establish an acute PD model. Results show that vancomycin pretreatment significantly improved motor dysfunction of mice in pole and traction tests. Although vancomycin pretreatment had no effect on dopamine (DA) or the process of DA synthesis, it inhibited the metabolism of DA by suppressing the expression of striatal monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). Furthermore, vancomycin pretreatment reduced the number of astrocytes and microglial cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) to alleviate neuroinflammation, decreased the expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB/TNF-α signaling pathway in both brain and gut. Meanwhile, vancomycin pretreatment changed gut microbiome composition and the levels of fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The abundance of Akkermansia and Blautia increased significantly after vancomycin pretreatment, which might be related to inflammation and inhibition of TLR4 signaling pathway.

The results suggested that intragastric administration of GSH could significantly increase median survival and improve experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis score of BM model mice.

The present study thus aimed to investigate whether AGTR2 can alleviate cerebral dysfunction in mice subjected to cochallenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and mechanical ventilation (MV), and to reveal the underlying mechanism. We utilized a mice model that received a single injection of LPS (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) followed 2 h later by MV (10 ml/kg, lasting for 2 h). Pretreatment with the AGTR2 pharmacological agonist C21 (0.03, 0.3, and 3 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, once daily, lasting for 10 days). Locomotor activity and behavioral deficits were evaluated 24 h post-MV by open-field and fear-condition tests. Brain hippocampus and prefrontal cortex tissues were collected for immunofluorescence staining and western blotting to evaluate the resulting impacts on microglia, including morphological traits, functional markers, synaptic engulfment, superoxide production, and signaling molecules. Compared with vehicle-control, pre-administrated C21 reduced the branch endpoints and length of microglia processes in a dose-dependent manner in mice subjected to LPS/MV. The neuroprotective effect of AGTR2 was behaviorally confirmed by the improvement of memory decline in LPS/MV-treated mice following C21 pretreatment. In addition to morphological alterations, C21 reduced microglial functional markers and reduced microglial-dendrite contact and microglial engulfment of synaptic protein markers. In terms of the underlying molecular mechanism, AGTR2 stimulation by C21 leads to activation of protein phosphatase 2A, which subsequently mitigates microglial PKCδ and NF-κB activation, and inhibites NOX2-derived ROS production.

In immunocompetent gp120tg+ mice, morphine increased the RNA expression of CCL2, CCL5, CXCL10, IL-12p40, and IFNβ; while under the immunodeficient condition, morphine downregulated the expression of CCL2, CCL5, CXCL10, IL-12p40, and IL-1β.

Physical trauma is commonly mono-neuropathic as it engages a single nerve and produces focal damage, while in the context of pathological conditions the damage is divergent involving a group of the nerve causing polyneuropathy. Damage to the peripheral nerve can cause a diverse range of manifestations from sensory impairment to loss of function with unpredictable recovery patterns. Presently no treatment option provides complete or functional recovery in nerve injury, as nerve cells are highly differentiated and inert to regeneration. However, the regenerative phenotypes in Schwann cells get expressed when a signalling cascade is triggered by neurotrophins.
