AB  - Omega-3 fatty acid interventions show potential benefits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) when initiated during its early stages. This study investigated whether maternal diet supplemented with omega- 3-rich fish oil (FO) could delay or reduce amyloid beta (Aβ) formation, a key feature of AD, in 5xFAD transgenic offspring. Dams received FO during mating, pregnancy, and lactation. Brain tissues from female offspring were collected at 2 and 6 months of age. The findings indicated a shift in amyloid precursor protein processing, evidenced by increased soluble amyloid precursor protein α (sAPPα) levels, suggesting a transition from amyloidogenic to non-amyloidogenic pathway. FO influenced the expression of presenilin 1 and 2 but did not impact Aβ levels in 2-month-old mice. However, FO reduced the Aβ burden in the brains of 6-month-old animals. Lipidomic analysis revealed that 5xFAD mice have unimpaired omega-3 acquisition during gestation and lactation in comparison to non-transgenic littermates. However, a response to FO supplementation was found in non-transgenic offspring only, indicating that alterations in brain lipids are not the primary mechanism of FO-induced Aβ decline in 5xFAD. In conclusion, FO did not prevent or delay amyloid pathology in genetically predisposed animals but did mitigate its progression, suggesting mechanisms that warrant further investigation.

AB  - Introduction: In the present study, we assessed the effects of the hyper- harmonized- 
hydroxylated fullerene– water complex (3HFWC) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuro
pathological hallmarks in 5XFAD mice, an AD animal model.
 Methods: The 3- week- old 5XFAD mice were exposed to 3HFWC water solution ad li
bitum for 3 months in the presymptomatic phase of pathology. The functional effects 
of the treatment were confirmed through near- infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis 
through machine learning (ML) using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to classify the 
control and 3HFWC- treated brain tissue samples. The effects of 3HFWC treatment 
on amyloid- β (Aβ) accumulation, plaque formation, gliosis, and synaptic plasticity in 
cortical and hippocampal tissue were assessed.
 Results: The 3HFWC treatment significantly decreased the amyloid- β plaque load in 
specific parts of the cerebral cortex. At the same time, 3HFWC treatment did not 
induce the activation of glia (astrocytes and microglia) nor did it negatively affect 
synaptic protein markers (GAP- 43, synaptophysin, and PSD- 95).
 Conclusion: The obtained results point to the potential of 3HFWC, when applied in 
the presymptomatic phase of AD, to interfere with amyloid plaque formation without 
inducing AD- related pathological processes such as neuroinflammation, gliosis, and 
synaptic vulnerability.

AB  - Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by amyloid (A ) accumulation in the blood vessels and is associated with cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The increased accumulation of A is also present in the retinal blood vessels and a significant correlation between retinal and brain amyloid deposition was demonstrated in living patients and animal AD models. The A accumulation in the retinal blood vessels can be the result of impaired transcytosis and/or the dysfunctional ocular glymphatic system in AD and during aging. We analyzed the changes in the mRNA and protein expression of major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein2a (Mfsd2a), the major regulator of transcytosis, and of Aquaporin4 (Aqp4), the key player implicated in the functioning of the glymphatic system, in the retinas of 4- and 12-month-old WT and 5xFAD female mice. A strong decrease in the Mfsd2a mRNA and protein expression was observed in the 4 Mand12M5xFADand12MWTretinas. Theincrease in the expression of srebp1-c could be at least partially responsible for the Mfsd2a decrease in the 4 M 5xFAD retinas. The decrease in the pericyte (CD13+) coverage of retinal blood vessels in the 4 M and 12 M 5xFAD retinas and in the 12 MWTretinas suggests that pericyte loss could be associated with the Mfsd2a downregulation in these experimental groups. The observed increase in Aqp4 expression in 4 M and 12 M 5xFAD and 12 M WT retinas accompanied by the decreased perivascular Aqp4 expression is indicative of the impaired glymphatic system. The findings in this study reveal the impaired Mfsd2a and Aqp4 expression and Aqp4 perivascular mislocalization in retinal blood vessels during physiolog ical (WT) and pathological (5xFAD) aging, indicating their importance as putative targets for the development of new treatments that can improve the regulation of transcytosis or the function of the glymphatic system.

AB  - Targeting novel pathways contributing to the pathogenesis/progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial due to the lack of effective management and treatment modalities. Higher prevalence, progression rate and severity of AD in women than in men also establish sex as key variable in AD therapy development.Thyroid disorders, both hyper- and hypothyroidism, were found to occur with up to nine-fold higher prevalence in women compared to men. The molecular mechanisms by which thyroid dysfunction contribute to AD pathogenesis and heterogeneity remain however elusive. We therefore examined sex-related alterations in gene expression of iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (Dio2) and transthyretin (TTR) involved in the tissue metabolism and the distribution of thyroid hormones (THs), respectively, in a novel, state-of the art knock-in (KI) mouse model of AD-like amyloidosis, APPNL-G-F mice.Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed prominent differences in cortical Dio2 and TTR gene expression in 9-month-old male and female APPNL-G-F mice and their non KI littermates (WT). In comparison to WT male mice, the increase in Dio2 mRNA level was evident in female WT mice, while a trend toward a decrease was detected in their APPNL-G-F KI littermates. Expression in the opposite direction was observed for TTR, with a robust genotype-dependent decrease in male mice.Results are in line with well-established role of THs in the regulation of neuronal plasticity in the adult brain and suggest profound sex-biased effects of TH on Aβ induced pathology in APPNL-G-F mice.

AB  - Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is progressive age-associated brain disorder and the main 
cause of dementia in the elderly worldwide. It is also well-established that the 
prevalence and severity of AD is greater in women than in men, suggesting that sex is 
a crucial variable in disease heterogeneity.
Sex-biased differences in behavioral parameters related to cognition and depressive like behavior were examined in novel, state-of-the-art mouse model of AD-like 
amyloidosis, APPNL-G-F knock-in (KI) mice. Nonspatial and spatial memory were 
assessed using novel object recognition (NOR) and relocation test (NOL), 
respectively, while for depressive-like behavior tail-suspension test (TST) was used. 
Male and female APPNL-G-F mice and their non-APPNL-G-F KI littermates (WT) were 
tested at the age of 9 months.
Memory impairments were evident in both WT and APPNL-G-F females in comparison 
to their male littermates. In NOL as a spatial variation of NOR, the discrimination 
index was decreased, but not in NOR as such. Furthermore, the decrease in total active 
immobility time in TST test was also detected in female WT and APPNL-G-F mice vs. 
male mice suggesting more prominent depressive-like behavior as well. Examined 
parameters had similar pattern in WT and APPNL-G-F mice of both sexes. 
The results suggest prominent sex-biased differences in behavior of males and females 
in this particular model and support its validity for further studies revealing the impact 
of sex to behavioral deficits.

AB  - Glucocorticoids are the most potent anti-inflammatory agents known. Limited in vivo data are available to characterize the mechanism underlying their cognitive side effects and transient occurrence of steroid psychosis. Cholesterol is important for proper neurotransmission and brain plasticity, and disruption of its homeostasis in the brain has been closely associated with memory decline during aging and in age-related neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we assessed the direct effects of dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, on the expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1), major enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis, metabolism, and excretion, respectively. The effects of the dexamethasone were examined during aging, in the cortex and hippocampus of 6-, 12- and 18-month-old rats, and following long-term food restriction (FR). The most prominent change observed was the age-related decrease in ApoE mRNA regardless of the food regimen applied. In animals kept on FR, this decrease was accompanied by an increase in the mRNA expression of HMGCR and CYP46A1. The present study also demonstrates that food restriction reversed most of the dexamethasone-induced changes in the expression of genes involved in regulation of cholesterol homeostasis in aging rats, in a region-specific manner.

AB  - Дуготрајна рестрикција уноса хране повољно делује на организам у целини, а 
показанa су и бројна неуропротективна дејства овог режима исхране на обољења 
повезана са старењем, попут Алцхајмерове болести. Циљ ове студије је био да се 
испита превентивно дејство рестрикције уноса хране и утицај на парвалбуминске 
неуроне (PV) коре великог мозга и BDNF/ТrkB сигнални пут у трансгеном моделу

AB  - Non­transmittable chronic diseases are largely driven by chronic inflammation, which can be connected to poor diet and toxic products of commensal gut microbiome.
Diet intervention can influence gut microbiota function and composition. Fermented foods are specifically known to have anti­inflammatory and immunomodulatory
properties, attributed to their high antioxidant content and lactic acid­producing bacteria (LAB) 
In this study we examined the effects of sauerkraut brine (SB) on physiological and behavioral responses to systemic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharides
(LPS) in a mouse model.  C57BL/6 mice 90 postnatal days old were used in this study. They were divided into 2 groups and treated with either 150 ml of sauerkraut
brine and pasteurized sauerkraut brine (PSB) for 5 weeks (via oral gavage). Control animals (CON) were receiving an equivalent amount of water. During the final
week of treatment, animals received 5 injections of LPS (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.). Behavior of animals was assessed before and after LPS administration, using the open field
test, light­dark box, Y­maze, tail­suspension and rota­rod test. Analysis of pro­inflammatory brain cytokines has been performed subsequently via Western blot and
PCR. Food consumption and body weight were measured throughout the experiment.
SB and PSB treatments did not influence body weights and behavior compared to CON mice. LPS treatment led to the weight loss and decreased food intake in all
experimental groups. The fastest recovery and a reduced inflammatory response was detected in the SB group. Behavioral analysis revealed differences between three
groups in responses to the LPS challenge.

AB  - Neuroprotective effects of food restriction were demonstrated in
several animal models of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative
diseases. Since Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized
by a long silent prodromal phase, the present study
aimed to determine the effects of every-other-day (EOD) feeding
on cortical responsiveness to PV interneurons and BDNF/TrkB
signaling using 5xFAD mice, a well-characterized mouse model
of AD. Female 5xFAD transgenic (Tg) mice and their non-transgenic
littermates were exposed to ad libitum (AL) or EOD feeding
regimen, beginning at 2 months of age. Neurons expressing
PV were detected in the retrosplenial dysgranular cortex (RSGc),
retrosplenial granular cortex (RSD), parietal cortex (PtA), and
somatosensory cortex (S) of 6-month-old animals by immunohistochemistry.
Analysis of the BDNF/Trk signaling was examined
by western blot. TgAL mice showed a significantly reduced number
of PV-positive cells in the RSGc, PtA, and S, while no
changes were detected in the RSD. Interestingly, four months of
EOD feeding reverted the number of PV-positive cells to control
values in all three regions examined. BDNF was decreased in the
TgAL mice, which was additionally decreased in TgEOD mice,
while no significant difference in pro-BDNF was identified. Analysis
of TrkB and pTrkB revealed a significant increase of TrkB
in the TgEOD group, whereas a significant decrease in pTrkB
was detected only in the TgAL group. The present study indicates
that every-other-day feeding can ameliorate PV neuronal
loss, and have an important role in further understanding the
neural basis of AD-like-associated cognitive impairments in
5xFAD mouse model of AD.

AB  - The potential of fullerenes and fullerene’s water-soluble derivatives
to bind to amyloid-b has been well documented in vitro and
in silico. However, the anti-amyloid action of fullerenols in
in vivo treatments has not been fully examined. In the present study we assessed the effects of the hydroxylated fullerene-water
complex (3HFWC) on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neuropathological
hallmarks in 5XFAD mice, a well-recognized AD animal
model. The 3-week-old 5XFAD mice were exposed to 3HFWC
water solution ad libitum for 3 months. The 3HFWC treatment
started in the presymptomatic phase of pathology and analyses
were focused on the effects on amyloid-b (Ab) accumulation, plaque
formation, gliosis, and synaptic plasticity in cortical and hippocampal
tissue. The 3HFWC treatment significantly decreased
the amyloid-b plaque load in specific parts of cerebral cortex, followed
by the unchanged levels of Ab. None of these changes
were detected in the hippocampus. At the same time, 3HFWC
treatment did not exacerbate the activation of glial cells, nor
altered the expression levels of synaptic proteins. The obtained
results point to the potential of 3HFWC, when applied in the
presymptomatic phase of AD, to interfere with Ab accumulation
and amyloid plaque formation without exacerbating the other
AD-related pathological processes.

AB  - Non-communicable chronic diseases are largely driven by chronic inflammation, which can be in relation with poor diet and toxic products of commensal bacteria in guts. Diet intervention can change gut microbiota function and composition (Wastyk et al., 2021). The fermented foods containing microorganisms able to remodel host microbiota, can improve inflammatory status of the organism, including brain. Sauerkraut, produced by spontaneous fermentation of cabbage with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), is an important dietary ingredient, but studies of its effects are rather scarce (Zubaidah et al., 2020). Here, we aim to examine whether sauerkraut brine is able to change physiological and behavioral response to systemic inflammation in mice induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a constituent of the Gram-negative bacteria cell wall (Kubera et al., 2016). 
Three-month-old C57BL/6 mice were given 150 l of sauerkraut brine (SB) or pasteurized sauerkraut brine (PSB) for 5 weeks by oral gavage. Control animals (CON) received the equivalent amount of water. During last week, animals were challenged by 5 injections of LPS (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) Before and after LPS, behavior of animals was tested  by open field, light-dark box, Y-maze, tail-suspension and rota rod tests. Food consumption and body weight were measured throughout the experiment.
Quality analysis of in-home made sauerkraut produced by tradiotional spontaneous fermentation show that sauerkraut brine counts 2x105 colony forming units (CFU/ml) of LAB. SB and PSB treatments did not influence body weights and behavior compared to CON mice. LPS induced sick behavior characterized by weight loss and decreased food intake, where the fastest recovery was observed in the SB group. Behavioral analysis revealed similar response to LPS challenge between groups. However, further intra-group analysis and molecular screening is required to assess the possible subtle impact of sauerkraut on the mice behavior and immune status

AB  - BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and total brain atrophy. Despite the substantial scientific effort, the pathological mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in AD are currently unknown. In most studies, amyloid β peptide has been considered the key pathological change in AD. However, numerous Aβ-targeting treatments have failed in clinical trials. This implies the need to shift the re- search focus from Aβ to other pathological features of the disease. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the interplay between mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in AD pathology, using a novel approach that involves the application of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. METHOD In vivo and ex vivo EPR spectroscopy using two spin probes (aminoxyl radicals) exhibit- ing different cell-membrane and BBB permeability were employed to assess BBB integrity and brain tissue redox status in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD. In vivo spin probe reduction decay was analyzed using a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model. Furthermore, 15 K EPR spectros- copy was employed to investigate the brain metal content. RESULTS This study has revealed an altered brain redox state, BBB breakdown, as well as ROS-me- diated damage to mitochondrial iron-sulfur clusters, and up-regulation of MnSOD in the 5xFAD model. CONCLUSION The EPR spin probes were shown to be excellent in vivo reporters of the 5xFAD neu- ronal tissue redox state, as well as the BBB integrity, indicating the importance of in vivo EPR spec- troscopy application in preclinical studies of neurodegenerative diseases.

AB  - Numerous beneficial effects of food restriction on aging and age-related pathologies are well documented. It is also well-established that both short- and long-term food restriction regimens induce elevated circulating levels of glucocorticoids, stress-induced hormones produced by adrenal glands that can also exert deleterious effects on the brain. In the present study, we examined the effect of long-term food restriction on the glucocorticoid hormone/glucocorticoid receptor (GR) system in the cortex during aging, in 18- and 24-month-old rats. Corticosterone level was increased in the cortex of aged ad libitum-fed rats. Food restriction induced its further increase, accompanied with an increase in the level of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. However, alterations in the level of GR phosphorylated at Ser232 were not detected in animals on food restriction, in line with unaltered CDK5 level, the decrease of Hsp90, and an increase in a negative regulator of GR function, FKBP51. Moreover, our data revealed that reduced food intake prevented age-related increase in the levels of NFκB, gfap, and bax, confirming its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. Along with an increase in the levels of c-fos, our study provides additional evidences that food restriction affects cortical responsiveness to glucocorticoids during aging.

AB  - OBJECTIVE Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of neurological damage in young and middle aged people. Food restriction (FR) has been shown to act neuroprotectively in animal models of stroke and TBI. Indeed, our previous studies showed that FR attenuates inflammation, through suppression of microglial activation and TNF-α production, suppresses caspase-3-induced neuronal cell death and enhances neuroplasticity in the rat model of TBI. Glucocorticoids (GCs) play a central role in mediating both molecular and behavioral responses to food restriction. However, the exact mechanisms of FR neuroprotection in TBI are still unclear. The goal of the present study was to examine whether FR exerts its beneficial effects by altering the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling alone and/or together with other protective factors. METHODS To this end, we examined the effects of FR (50% of regular daily food intake for 3 months prior to TBI) on the protein levels of total GR, GR phosphoisoform Ser232 (p-GR) and its transcriptional activity, as well as 11β-HSD1, NFκB (p65) and HSP70 as factors related to the GR signaling. RESULTS Our results demonstrate that FR applied prior to TBI significantly changes p-GR levels, and it's transcriptional activity during the recovery period after TBI. Moreover, as a pretreatment, FR modulates other protective factors in response to TBI, such as 11β-HSD1, NF-κB (p65) and HSP70 that act in parallel with GR in it's anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in the rat model of brain injury. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that prophylactic FR represents a potent non-invasive approach capable of changing GR signalling, together with other factors related to the GR signaling in the model of TBI.

AB  - Food restriction has been widely associated with beneficial effects on brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. However, previous studies on the effects of food restriction on aging- or pathology-related cognitive decline are controversial, emphasizing the importance of the type, onset and duration of food restriction. In the present study, we assessed the effects of preventive every-other-day (EOD) feeding regimen on neurodegenerative phenotype in 5XFAD transgenic mice, a commonly used mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. EOD feeding regimen was introduced to transgenic female mice at the age of 2 months and the effects on amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation, gliosis, synaptic plasticity, and blood-brain barrier breakdown were analyzed in cortical tissue of 6-month-old animals. Surprisingly, significant increase of inflammation in the cortex of 5XFAD fed EOD mice was observed, reflected by the expression of microglial and astrocytic markers. This increase in reactivity and/or proliferation of glial cells was accompanied by an increase in proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α, p38 MAPK and EAAT2, and a decrease in GAD67. NMDA receptor subunit 2B, related to glutamate excitotoxicity, was increased in the cortex of 5XFAD-EOD mice indicating additional alterations in glutamatergic signaling. Furthermore, 4 months of EOD feeding regimen had led to synaptic plasticity proteins reduction and neuronal injury in 5XFAD mice. However, EOD feeding regimen did not affect Aβ load and blood-brain barrier permeability in the cortex of 5XFAD mice. Our results demonstrate that EOD feeding regimen exacerbates Alzheimer's disease-like neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory changes irrespective of Aβ pathology in 5XFAD mice, suggesting that caution should be paid when using food restrictions in the prodromal phase of this neurodegenerative disease.

AB  - Aim: Food restriction has been widely associated with beneficial effects on brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the present study, the effects of every-other-day (EOD) feeding regimen were studied in the hippocampus of 5XFAD mice, a well characterized animal model of AD. Parvalbumin (PV) inhibitory interneurons that are crucial for maintaining proper excitatory/inhibitory balance were examined.
Methods: Female 5xFAD mice (Tg) and their non-transgenic littermates (non-Tg) were exposed to ad libitum (AL) or intermittent, EOD feeding regimen, beginning at 2 months of age. Neurons expressing PV were detected by immunohistochemistry, in the dorsal hippocampus of 6-month-old animals. The number of parvalbumin-expressing neurons was determined independently in CA1, CA3, and DG hippocampal subregions.
Results: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a substantial increase in the number of parvalbumin inhibitory neurons in the dorsal hippocampus of Tg-AL mice in comparison to non-Tg animals. In Tg-EOD mice, however, alterations in the number of PV-expressing neurons were subregion-specific comparing to Tg-AL mice of the same age.
Conlusions: The results of our study clearly indicate that PV-expressing interneurons are of importance in further understanding of neural basis of AD-like-associated cognitive impairments and EOD-induced effects in 5xFAD mouse model of AD.

AB  - Our previous studies in the rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) cholinopathy demonstrated the sleep-related alterations in electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations at the cortical and hippocampal levels, cortical drives, and sleep spindles (SSs) as the earliest functional biomarkers preceding hypokinesia. Our aim in this study was to follow the impact of a unilateral substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) lesion in rat on the cortical and hippocampal sleep architectures and their EEG microstructures, as well as the cortico-hippocampal synchronizations of EEG oscillations, and the SS and high voltage sleep spindle (HVS) dynamics during NREM and REM sleep. We performed unilateral SNpc lesions using two different concentrations/volumes of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; 12 μg/1 μl or 12 μg/2 μl). Whereas the unilateral dopaminergic neuronal loss >50% throughout the overall SNpc rostro-caudal dimension prolonged the Wake state, with no change in the NREM or REM duration, there was a long-lasting theta amplitude augmentation across all sleep states in the motor cortex (MCx), but also in the CA1 hippocampus (Hipp) during both Wake and REM sleep. We demonstrate that SS are the hallmarks of NREM sleep, but that they also occur during REM sleep in the MCx and Hipp of the control rats. Whereas SS are always longer in REM vs. NREM sleep in both structures, they are consistently slower in the Hipp. The dopaminergic neuronal loss increased the density of SS in both structures and shortened them in the MCx during NREM sleep, without changing the intrinsic frequency. Conversely, HVS are the hallmarks of REM sleep in the control rats, slower in the Hipp vs. MCx, and the dopaminergic neuronal loss increased their density in the MCx, but shortened them more consistently in the Hipp during REM sleep. In addition, there was an altered synchronization of the EEG oscillations between the MCx and Hipp in different sleep states, particularly the theta and sigma coherences during REM sleep. We provide novel evidence for the importance of the SNpc dopaminergic innervation in sleep regulation, theta rhythm generation, and SS/HVS dynamics control. We suggest the importance of the underlying REM sleep regulatory substrate to HVS generation and duration and to the cortico-hippocampal synchronizations of EEG oscillations in hemiparkinsonian rats.

AB  - In order to find out the possible earliest biomarkers of Parkinson's disease (PD) cholinopathy, we followed the impact of bilateral pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT) lesion in rat on: the cortical and hippocampal sleep/wake states architectures, all sleep states related EEG microstructures, sleep spindles, the basal and stimulated locomotor activity. Sleep and basal locomotor activity in adult Wistar rats were followed during their inactive circadian phase, and throughout the same aging period. The bilateral PPT lesions were done by 0.1M ibotenic acid (IBO) during the surgical procedure for implantation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) and electromyographic (EMG) electrodes for chronic sleep recording. The cholinergic neuronal loss was identified by NADPH - diaphorase histochemistry. After all sleep and behavioral recording sessions, the locomotor activity was stimulated by d-amphetamine (d-AMPH) and the neuronal activity of striatum was followed by c-Fos immunolabeling. Impaired cholinergic innervation from the PPT was expressed earlier as sleep disorder then as movement disorder, and it was the earliest and long-lasting at hippocampal and thalamo-cortical level, and followed by a delayed "hypokinesia". This severe impact of a tonically impaired PPT cholinergic innervation was evidenced as the cholinergic interneuronal loss of the caudate putamen and as a suppressed c-Fos expression after stimulation by d-AMPH. In order how they occurred, the hippocampal non rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep disorder, altered high voltage sleep spindle (HVS) dynamics during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in the hippocampus and motor cortex, and "hypokinesia" may serve as the biomarkers of PD cholinopathy onset and progression.

AB  - In order to find out the possible earliest biomarkers of Parkinson's disease (PD) cholinopathy, we followed the impact of bilateral pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT) lesion in rat on: the cortical and hippocampal sleep/wake states architectures, all sleep states related EEG microstructures, sleep spindles, the basal and stimulated locomotor activity. Sleep and basal locomotor activity in adult Wistar rats were followed during their inactive circadian phase, and throughout the same aging period. The bilateral PPT lesions were done by 0.1M ibotenic acid (IBO) during the surgical procedure for implantation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) and electromyographic (EMG) electrodes for chronic sleep recording. The cholinergic neuronal loss was identified by NADPH - diaphorase histochemistry. After all sleep and behavioral recording sessions, the locomotor activity was stimulated by d-amphetamine (d-AMPH) and the neuronal activity of striatum was followed by c-Fos immunolabeling. Impaired cholinergic innervation from the PPT was expressed earlier as sleep disorder then as movement disorder, and it was the earliest and long-lasting at hippocampal and thalamo-cortical level, and followed by a delayed "hypokinesia". This severe impact of a tonically impaired PPT cholinergic innervation was evidenced as the cholinergic interneuronal loss of the caudate putamen and as a suppressed c-Fos expression after stimulation by d-AMPH. In order how they occurred, the hippocampal non rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep disorder, altered high voltage sleep spindle (HVS) dynamics during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in the hippocampus and motor cortex, and "hypokinesia" may serve as the biomarkers of PD cholinopathy onset and progression.

AB  - Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid-β plaques that further promotes microglia-mediated neuroinflammatory responses and inflammation in the brain. Emerging data are revealing the relation between gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) cells and CNS, as effector cells primed in the gut might home to the brain. This study aimed to determine cell composition of GALT in 5xFAD mice, an established model for AD. Immune cells isolated from Peyer's patches (PP) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were stained with surface and intracellular markers for T helper (Th) subpopulations, B lymphocytes and macrophages and analyzed cytofluorimetrically, while cytokine expression and production were determined by qPCR and ELISA, respectively. Inflammation was detected in GALT of 5xFAD mice with established AD pathology. Although the production of IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-10 was comparable between the strains, lower IL-17 production was observed in PP and MLN cells. This phenomenon could not be attributed to a lower abundance of Th17 cells, or cytokines that initiate their formation or propagation (TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-23). Also, reduced IL-17 production was not a consequence of altered Il-17 mRNA transcription or deficiency of Rorγt, a key transcription factor for IL-17. However, the expression of miR-155 (a non-coding micro RNA that promotes the development of Th17 cells), was significantly lower in MLN cells of 5xFAD mice. In contrast, mice without AD neuropathology did not have inflammation in GALT or altered Th17 numbers, nor decreased IL-17 production. In conclusion, the observed changes in GALT of 5xFAD mice mirror the disease progression and might reflect inadequate immune surveillance in the gut and lead to enhanced AD pathology.

AB  - Long-term fish oil (FO) supplementation is able to improve Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. We aimed to determine the impact of short-term fish oil (FO) intake on phospholipids composition and plaque pathology in 5xFAD mice, a widely used animal model of AD. A 3-week-long FO supplementation administered at 3 months of age decreased the number of dense core plaques in the 5xFAD cortex and changed phospholipids in the livers and brains of wild-type (Wt) and 5xFAD mice. Livers of both genotypes responded by increase of n-3 and reciprocal decrease of n-6 fatty acids. In Wt brains, FO supplementation induced elevation of n-3 fatty acids and subsequent enhancement of n-6/n-3 ratio. However, in 5xFAD brains the improved n-6/n-3 ratio was mainly due to FO-induced decrease in arachidonic and adrenic n-6 fatty acids. Also, brain and liver abundance of n-3 fatty acids were strongly correlated in Wts, oppositely to 5xFADs where significant brain-liver correlation exists only for n-6 fatty acids. Expression of omega-3 transporter Mfs2a remained unchanged after FO supplementation. We have demonstrated that even a short-term FO intake improves the phospholipid composition and has a significant effect on plaque burden in 5xFAD brains when applied in early stages of AD pathology.
