To investigate this issue, 30 bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients and 30 healthy adults were recruited for this study.

At the regional level, sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients exhibited a significant reduction in the primary gradient values in the temporal pole and ventral prefrontal cortex, which were closely related to neuro-scale scores. Regarding the network level, sudden sensorineural hearing loss did not show significant differences in the primary gradient but instead displayed significant changes in the control network and default mode network in the second and third gradients.

However, the molecular mechanisms of these changes are still largely unknown. Fyn, a Src-family non-receptor tyrosine kinase (SFK), and its interaction with tau in mediating brain pathology in epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease can be a potential therapeutic target for disease modification. Although Fyn and tau pathology occurs in both Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy, the dynamics of Fyn-tau and PSD95-NR2B interactions affected by seizures and their impact on brain pathology in epilepsy have not been investigated. In this study, we demonstrate a significant increase of Fyn-tau interactions following seizure induction by kainate in both acute and chronic rodent models and in human epilepsy. In the early phase of epileptogenesis, we show increased Fyn/tau/NR2B/PSD95/neuronal nitric oxide synthase complexes after status epilepticus and a postsynaptic increase of phosphorylated tau (pY18 and AT8), Fyn (pSFK-Y416), NMDAR (pNR2B-Y1472) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Hippocampal proximity ligation assay and co-immunoprecipitation revealed a sustained increase of Fyn-tau and NR2B-PSD95 complexes/binding in rat chronic epilepsy at 3 months post-status epilepticus. Enhanced Fyn-tau complexes strongly correlated with the frequency of spontaneously recurring convulsive seizures and epileptiform spikes in the chronic epilepsy model. In human epileptic brains, we also identified increased Fyn-tau and NR2B-PSD95 complexes, tau phosphorylation (pY18 and AT8) and Fyn activation (pSFK-Y416), implying the translational and therapeutic potential of these molecular interactions.

The reduction of Fyn-tau and NR2B-PSD95 interactions in the saracatinib-treated group, in contrast to the vehicle-treated group, correlated with the modification in seizure progression in the rat chronic epilepsy model.

Previous studies from our laboratory have revealed that neonatal hepatitis B vaccination can downregulate hippocampal neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and spatial learning memory. In the current post-epidemic era characterized by universal vaccination, understanding the impact of acquired immunity on neuronal function and neuropsychiatric disorders, along with exploring potential underlying mechanisms, becomes imperative. We employed hepatitis B vaccine-induced CD3 positive T cells in immunodeficient mice to investigate the key mechanisms through which T cell subsets modulate hippocampal neurogenesis and anxiety-like behaviours. Our data revealed that mice receiving hepatitis B vaccine-induced T cells exhibited heightened anxiety and decreased hippocampal cell proliferation compared to those receiving phosphate-buffered saline-T cells or wild-type mice. Importantly, these changes were predominantly mediated by infiltrated CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells into the brain, rather than CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. Transcriptome profiling of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells unveiled that C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 6 positive (CXCR6<sup>+</sup>) CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were recruited into the brain through microglial and astrocyte-derived C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16). This recruitment process impaired neurogenesis and induced anxiety-like behaviour via tumour necrosis factor-α-dependent mechanisms. Our findings highlight the role of glial cell derived CXCL16 in mediating the recruitment of CXCR6<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell subsets into the brain.

Critical to the development of such biomarkers is robust method validation, optimization and replication with adequate sample sizes and neurological disease comparative blood samples. We sought to test an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis biomarker derived from diverse samples to determine if it is disease specific. Extracellular vesicles were extracted from blood plasma obtained from individuals diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, primary lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and healthy controls. Immunoaffinity purification was used to create a neural-enriched extracellular vesicle fraction. MicroRNAs were measured across sample cohorts using real-time polymerase chain reaction. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess differences in plasma microRNAs followed by <i>post hoc</i> Mann-Whitney tests to compare disease groups. Diagnostic accuracy was determined using a machine learning algorithm and a logistic regression model. We identified an eight-microRNA diagnostic signature for blood samples from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with high sensitivity and specificity and an area under the curve calculation of 98% with clear statistical separation from neurological controls. The eight identified microRNAs represent disease-related biological processes consistent with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The direction and magnitude of gene fold regulation are consistent across four separate patient cohorts with real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses conducted in two laboratories from diverse samples and sample collection procedures. We propose that this diagnostic signature could be an aid to neurologists to supplement current clinical metrics used to diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":93915,"journal":{"name":"Brain communications","volume":"6 5","pages":"fcae268"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11398878/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142303358","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}
