The primary symptom of Alzheimer's disease is a decrease in synaptic potency along with synaptic connection loss. Synapses, which act as important linkages between neuronal units within the cerebral region, are critical in signal transduction processes essential to orchestrating cognitive tasks. Synaptic connections act as critical interconnections between neuronal cells inside the cerebral environment, facilitating critical signal transduction processes required for cognitive functions. The confluence of axonal and dendritic filopodial extensions culminates in the creation of intercellular connections, coordinated by various signals and molecular mechanisms. The progression of synaptic maturation and plasticity is a critical determinant in maintaining mental well-being, and abnormalities in these processes have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Wnt signaling pathways are important to the orchestration of synapse development. This review examines the complicated interplay between Wnt signaling and dendritic filopodia, including an examination of the regulatory complexities and molecular machinations involved in synaptogenesis progression.

Axons guide molecules through synaptic remodeling and brain tissue remodeling, which may result in the formation of abnormal neural networks. Therefore, axon guidance plays a crucial role in disease progression. However, although Robo1 is one of the important components of axon guidance, the role of Robo1 in epilepsy remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the mechanism of Robo1 in epilepsy. Male adult C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with pentylenetetrazol to establish an epilepsy model. Lentivirus (LV) was given via intracranial injection 2 weeks before pentylenetetrazol injection. Different expressions of Robo1 between the control group, LV-mediated Robo1 short hairpin RNA group, empty vector control LV group, and normal saline group were analyzed using Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, Golgi staining, and video monitoring. Robo1 was increased in the hippocampus in the pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy mouse model; lentiviral Robo1 knockdown prolonged the latency of seizure and reduced the seizure grade in mice and resulted in a decrease in dendritic spine density, while the number of mature dendritic spines was maintained. We speculate that Robo1 has been implicated in the development and progression of epilepsy through its effects on dendritic spine morphology and density. Epileptic mice with Robo1 knockdown virus intervention had lower seizure grade and longer latency. Follow-up findings suggest that Robo1 may modulate seizures by affecting dendritic spine density and morphology. Downregulation of Robo1 may negatively regulate epileptogenesis by decreasing the density of dendritic spines and maintaining a greater number of mature dendritic spines.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":94030,"journal":{"name":"Ibrain","volume":"9 4","pages":"369-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ibra.12127","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81339762","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}
