Potential Microrna-Related Targets in Clearance Pathways of Amyloid-Β
Madadi et al. Cell Biosci (2019) 9:91 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13578-019-0354-3 Cell & Bioscience REVIEW Open Access Potential microRNA-related targets in clearance pathways of amyloid-β: novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease Soheil Madadi1, Heidi Schwarzenbach2, Massoud Saidijam3, Reza Mahjub4 and Meysam Soleimani1* Abstract Imbalance between amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide synthesis and clearance results in Aβ deregulation. Failure to clear these peptides appears to cause the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In recent years, microRNAs have become established key regulators of biological processes that relate among others to the development and progres- sion of neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD. This review article gives an overview on microRNAs that are involved in the Aβ cascade and discusses their inhibitory impact on their target mRNAs whose products participate in Aβ clear- ance. Understanding of the mechanism of microRNA in the associated signal pathways could identify novel therapeu- tic targets for the treatment of AD.

Lrp1 Modulators
Last updated on February 14, 2021 Cognitive Vitality Reports® are reports written by neuroscientists at the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF). These scientific reports include analysis of drugs, drugs-in- development, drug targets, supplements, nutraceuticals, food/drink, non-pharmacologic interventions, and risk factors. Neuroscientists evaluate the potential benefit (or harm) for brain health, as well as for age-related health concerns that can affect brain health (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes/metabolic syndrome). In addition, these reports include evaluation of safety data, from clinical trials if available, and from preclinical models. Lrp1 Modulators Evidence Summary Lrp1 has a variety of essential functions, mediated by a diverse array of ligands. Therapeutics will need to target specific interactions. Neuroprotective Benefit: Lrp1-mediated interactions promote Aβ clearance, Aβ generation, tau propagation, brain glucose utilization, and brain lipid homeostasis. The therapeutic effect will depend on the interaction targeted. Aging and related health concerns: Lrp1 plays mixed roles in cardiovascular diseases and cancer, dependent on context. Lrp1 is dysregulated in metabolic disease, which may contribute to insulin resistance. Safety: Broad-spectrum Lrp1 modulators are untenable therapeutics due to the high potential for extensive side effects. Therapies that target a specific Lrp1-ligand interaction are expected to have a better therapeutic profile. 1 Last updated on February 14, 2021 Availability: Research use Dose: N/A Chemical formula: N/A S16 is in clinical trials MW: N/A Half life: N/A BBB: Angiopep is a peptide that facilitates BBB penetrance by interacting with Lrp1 Clinical trials: S16, an Lrp1 Observational studies: sLrp1 levels are agonist was tested in healthy altered in Alzheimer’s disease, volunteers (n=10) in a Phase 1 cardiovascular disease, and metabolic study. -

ABCA1 Gene ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily a Member 1
ABCA1 gene ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 Normal Function The ABCA1 gene belongs to a group of genes called the ATP-binding cassette family, which provides instructions for making proteins that transport molecules across cell membranes. The ABCA1 protein is produced in many tissues, with high amounts found in the liver and in immune system cells called macrophages. This protein moves cholesterol and certain fats called phospholipids across the cell membrane to the outside of the cell. These substances are then picked up by a protein called apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), which is produced from the APOA1 gene. ApoA-I, cholesterol, and phospholipids combine to make high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol" because high levels of this substance reduce the chances of developing heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. HDL is a molecule that carries cholesterol and phospholipids through the bloodstream from the body's tissues to the liver. Once in the liver, cholesterol and phospholipids are redistributed to other tissues or removed from the body. The process of removing excess cholesterol from cells is extremely important for balancing cholesterol levels and maintaining cardiovascular health. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Familial HDL deficiency Mutations in the ABCA1 gene can cause a condition called familial HDL deficiency. People with this condition have reduced levels of HDL in their blood and may experience early-onset cardiovascular disease, often before age 50. While one copy of the altered ABCA1 gene causes familial HDL deficiency, two copies of the altered gene cause a more severe related disorder called Tangier disease (described below). -
Clusterin and LRP2 Are Critical Components of the Hypothalamic Feeding Regulatory Pathway
ARTICLE Received 21 Sep 2012 | Accepted 16 Apr 2013 | Published 14 May 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2896 Clusterin and LRP2 are critical components of the hypothalamic feeding regulatory pathway So Young Gil1, Byung-Soo Youn2, Kyunghee Byun3,4, Hu Huang5, Churl Namkoong1, Pil-Geum Jang1, Joo-Yong Lee1, Young-Hwan Jo6, Gil Myoung Kang1, Hyun-Kyong Kim1, Mi-Seon Shin7, Claus U. Pietrzik8, Bonghee Lee3,4, Young-Bum Kim3,5 & Min-Seon Kim1,7 Hypothalamic feeding circuits are essential for the maintenance of energy balance. There have been intensive efforts to discover new biological molecules involved in these pathways. Here we report that central administration of clusterin, also called apolipoprotein J, causes anorexia, weight loss and activation of hypothalamic signal transduction-activated transcript-3 in mice. In contrast, inhibition of hypothalamic clusterin action results in increased food intake and body weight, leading to adiposity. These effects are likely mediated through the mutual actions of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2, a potential receptor for clusterin, and the long-form leptin receptor. In response to clusterin, the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2 binding to long-form leptin receptor is greatly enhanced in cultured neuronal cells. Furthermore, long-form leptin receptor deficiency or hypothalamic low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2 suppression in mice leads to impaired hypothalamic clusterin signalling and actions. Our study identifies the hypotha- lamic clusterin–low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2 axis as a novel anorexigenic signalling pathway that is tightly coupled with long-form leptin receptor-mediated signalling. 1 Asan Institute for Life Science, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 138-736, Korea. -

Schanstra4,5, Jerome Zoidakis1, Burkert Pieske6, Harald Mischak2 and Antonia Vlahou1* Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) describes the pathological conditions of the heart and blood vessels. Despite the large number of studies on CVD and its etiology, its key modulators remain largely unknown. To this end, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of blood plasma, with the scope to identify disease-associated changes after placing them in the context of existing knowledge, and generate a well characterized dataset for fur- ther use in CVD multi-omics integrative analysis. Methods: LC–MS/MS was employed to analyze plasma from 32 subjects (19 cases of various CVD phenotypes and 13 controls) in two steps: discovery (13 cases and 8 controls) and test (6 cases and 5 controls) set analysis. Follow- ing label-free quantifcation, the detected proteins were correlated to existing plasma proteomics datasets (plasma proteome database; PPD) and functionally annotated (Cytoscape, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis). Diferential expression was defned based on identifcation confdence ( 2 peptides per protein), statistical signifcance (Mann–Whitney p value 0.05) and a minimum of twofold change.≥ ≤ Results: Peptides detected in at least 50% of samples per group were considered, resulting in a total of 3796 identi- fed proteins (838 proteins based on 2 peptides). Pathway annotation confrmed the functional relevance of the fndings (representation of complement≥ cascade, fbrin clot formation, platelet degranulation, etc.). -

Prof. Dr. Thomas Willnow 2. Prof. Dr. Michael Bader 3. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Lockau Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung: 22. September 2006 Abstract LRP2 is a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene family that is mainly expressed in the yolk sac and in the neuroepithelium of the early embryo. Deficiency for this 600 kDa protein in mice results in holoprosencephaly, indicating an important yet unknown role for LRP2 in forebrain development. In this study, mice with a complete or a conditional loss of lrp2 function were used to further elucidate the consequences of the lack of LRP2 expression. This study shows that the presence of LRP2 in the neuroepithelium but not in the yolk sac is crucial for early forebrain development. Lack of the receptor resulted in an increase of Bone morphogenic protein (Bmp) 4 signaling in the rostral telencephalon at E9.5. As a consequence, sonic hedgehog (shh) expression at E10.5 was lost completely in a ventral region of the telencephalon termed anterior entopeduncular area (AEP). The absence of Shh activity in this area subsequently led to the loss of ventrally induced oligodendroglial and interneuronal cell populations in lrp2 deficient mice. -

Apoe Lipidation As a Therapeutic Target in Alzheimer's Disease
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review ApoE Lipidation as a Therapeutic Target in Alzheimer’s Disease Maria Fe Lanfranco, Christi Anne Ng and G. William Rebeck * Department of Neuroscience, Georgetown University Medical Center, 3970 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20057, USA; [email protected] (M.F.L.); [email protected] (C.A.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-202-687-1534 Received: 6 August 2020; Accepted: 30 August 2020; Published: 1 September 2020 Abstract: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the major cholesterol carrier in the brain, affecting various normal cellular processes including neuronal growth, repair and remodeling of membranes, synaptogenesis, clearance and degradation of amyloid β (Aβ) and neuroinflammation. In humans, the APOE gene has three common allelic variants, termed E2, E3, and E4. APOE4 is considered the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), whereas APOE2 is neuroprotective. To perform its normal functions, apoE must be secreted and properly lipidated, a process influenced by the structural differences associated with apoE isoforms. Here we highlight the importance of lipidated apoE as well as the APOE-lipidation targeted therapeutic approaches that have the potential to correct or prevent neurodegeneration. Many of these approaches have been validated using diverse cellular and animal models. Overall, there is great potential to improve the lipidated state of apoE with the goal of ameliorating APOE-associated central nervous system impairments. Keywords: apolipoprotein E; cholesterol; lipid homeostasis; neurodegeneration 1. Scope of This Review In this review, we will first consider the role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) in lipid homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS).
