There is increasing evidence suggesting that chronic alcohol intake, like other addictive drugs, induces neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, disrupting glutamate homeostasis in the main brain areas related to drug addiction. This review explores the potential application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based therapy for the treatment of AUD. MSCs secrete a broad array of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant molecules, thus, the administration of MSCs, or their secretome, could reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. These effects correlate with an increase in the expression of the main glutamate transporter, GLT1, which, through the normalization of the extracellular glutamate levels, could mediate the inhibitory effect of MSCs' secretome on chronic alcohol consumption, thus highlighting GLT1 as a central target to reduce chronic alcohol consumption.</p>","PeriodicalId":94058,"journal":{"name":"International review of neurobiology","volume":"178 ","pages":"179-211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite high estimates of heritability, the genetic basis of disease in the majority of ALS patients are unknown. This limits the development of targeted genetic therapies which require an understanding of patient-specific genetic drivers. There is good evidence that the majority of these missing genetic risk factors are likely to be found within the non-coding genome. However, a major challenge in the discovery of non-coding risk variants is determining which variants are functional in which specific CNS cell type. We summarise current discoveries of ALS-associated genetic drivers within the non-coding genome and we make the case that improved cell-specific annotation of genomic function is required to advance this field, particularly via single-cell epigenetic profiling and spatial transcriptomics. We highlight the example of TBK1 where an apparent paradox exists between pathogenic coding variants which cause loss of protein function, and protective non-coding variants which cause reduced gene expression; the paradox is resolved when it is understood that the non-coding variants are acting primarily via change in gene expression within microglia, and the effect of coding variants is most prominent in neurons. We propose that cell-specific functional annotation of ALS-associated genetic variants will accelerate discovery of the genetic architecture underpinning disease in the vast majority of patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":94058,"journal":{"name":"International review of neurobiology","volume":"176 ","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141159333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, current pharmacotherapy often proves inadequate, leaving fewer than 70% of patients with relief. This shortfall has sparked a drive to seek alternative treatments offering superior safety and efficacy profiles. Cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals, notably cannabidiol (CBD), hold promise in pain management, driven by their natural origins, versatility, and reduced risk of addiction. As we navigate the opioid crisis, ongoing research plunges into CBD's therapeutic potential, buoyed by animal studies revealing its pain-relieving prowess through various system tweaks. However, the efficacy of cannabis in chronic pain management remains a contentious and stigmatized issue. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) presently refrains from endorsing cannabinoid use for pain relief. Nevertheless, evidence indicates their potential in alleviating cancer-related, neuropathic, arthritis, and musculoskeletal pain, necessitating further investigation. Crucially, our comprehension of CBD's role in pain management is a journey still unfolding, with animal studies illustrating its analgesic effects through interactions with the endocannabinoid, inflammatory, and nociceptive systems. As the plot thickens, it's clear: the saga of chronic pain and CBD's potential offers a compelling narrative ripe for further exploration and understanding.</p>","PeriodicalId":94058,"journal":{"name":"International review of neurobiology","volume":"177 ","pages":"29-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141728479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-motor symptoms like cognitive impairment, mood disturbances, and sleep disorders often accompany the disease. Pharmacological treatments for these symptoms are limited and frequently induce significant adverse reactions, underscoring the necessity for appropriate treatment options. Cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid devoid of the euphoric and cognitive effects of tetrahydrocannabinol. The study of cannabidiol's pharmacological effects has increased exponentially in recent years. Preclinical and preliminary clinical studies suggest that cannabidiol holds therapeutic potential for alleviating symptoms of Parkinson's disease, offering neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, knowledge of cannabidiol neuromolecular mechanisms is limited, and its pharmacology, which appears complex, has not yet been fully elucidated. By examining the evidence, this review aims to provide and synthesize scientifically proven evidence for the potential use of cannabidiol as a novel treatment option for Parkinson's disease. We focus on studies that administrated cannabidiol alone. The results of preclinical trials using cannabidiol in models of Parkinson's disease are encouraging. Nevertheless, drawing firm conclusions on the therapeutic efficacy of cannabidiol for patients is challenging. Cannabidiol doses, formulations, outcome measures, and methodologies vary considerably across studies.
