Currently, exercise modalities for SCI patients primarily include aerobic exercise, endurance training, strength training, high-intensity interval training, and mind-body exercises. These exercises play a positive role in enhancing skeletal muscle function, inducing neuroprotection and regeneration, thereby influencing neural plasticity, reducing limb spasticity, and improving motor function and daily living abilities in SCI patients. However, the mechanism by which exercise training promotes functional recovery after SCI is still unclear, and there is no consensus on a unified and standardized exercise treatment plan. Different exercise methods may bring different benefits. After SCI, patients' physical activity levels decrease significantly due to factors such as motor dysfunction, which may be a key factor affecting changes in exerkines. The changes in exerkines of SCI patients caused by exercise training are an important and highly relevant and visual evaluation index, which may provide a new research direction for revealing the intrinsic mechanism by which exercise promotes functional recovery after SCI. Therefore, this article summarizes the changes in the expression of common exerkines (neurotrophic factors, inflammatory factors, myokines, bioactive peptides) after SCI, and intends to analyze the impact and role of different exercise methods on functional recovery after SCI from the perspective of exerkines mechanism.

Through the gut–brain axis, metabolites produced by gut commensal microbes can influence brain functions, including microglial activity. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a key regulator of the oxidative stress response in microglia, controlling the expression of cytoprotective genes. Lactobacilli-derived cell-free supernatants (CFSs) are postbiotics that have shown antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects in several in vitro and in vivo studies. This study aimed to explore the effects of lactobacilli CFSs on modulating microglial responses against oxidative stress and inflammation. HMC3 microglia were exposed to lipopolysaccaride (LPS), as an inflammatory trigger, before and after administration of CFSs from three human gut probiotic species. The NRF2 nuclear protein activation and the expression of NRF2-controlled antioxidant genes were investigated by immunoassay and quantitative RT-PCR, respectively. Furthermore, the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines was evaluated by immunoassay. All CFSs induced a significant increase of NRF2 nuclear activity in basal conditions and upon inflammation. The transcription of antioxidant genes, namely heme oxygenase 1, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase also increased, especially after inflammatory stimulus. Besides, higher SOD1 activity was detected relative to inflamed microglia. In addition, CFSs pre-treatment of microglia attenuated pro-inflammatory TNF-α levels while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 levels. These findings confirmed that gut microorganisms’ metabolites can play a relevant role in adjuvating the microglia cellular response against neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which are known to cause neurodegenerative diseases.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3><p>Gut-brain crosstalk: molecular point of view.

Specifically, dendritic spines, being the critical structures for neurons to receive information, undergo changes such as a reduction in number and morphological abnormalities under hypoxic conditions. These alterations further affect synaptic function, leading to neurotransmission disorders. This article delves into the roles of molecular pathways like MAPK, AMPA receptors, NMDA receptors, and BDNF in the hypoxia-induced changes in neurons and dendritic spines, and outlines current treatment strategies. Neurons are particularly sensitive to cerebral hypoxia, with their apical dendrites being vulnerable to damage, thereby affecting cognitive function. Additionally, astrocytes and microglia play an indispensable role in protecting neuronal and synaptic structures, regulating their normal functions, and contributing to the repair process following injury. These studies not only contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of related neurological diseases but also provide important insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies.

It is well-known that chronic hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is regarded as a potential risk factor for the development and progression of AD. However, the effect of recurrent hypoglycemia on the pathogenesis of AD was not deeply discussed, and how recurrent hypoglycemia affects AD at cellular and molecular levels was not intensely interpreted by the previous studies. The underlying mechanisms for hypoglycaemia-induced AD are diverse such as endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis, and neuronal injury that causing tau protein hyperphosphorylation and the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain neurons. Of note, the glucagon hormone, which controls blood glucose, can also regulate the cognitive functions. Glucagon increases blood glucose by antagonizing the metabolic effect of insulin. Therefore, glucagon, through attenuation of hypoglycemia, may prevent AD neuropathology. Glucagon/GLP-1 has been shown to promote synaptogenesis, hippocampal synaptic plasticity, and learning and memory, while attenuating amyloid and tau pathologies. Therefore, activation of glucagon receptors in the brain may reduce AD neuropathology.
