    Abstract The development of imaging agents for in vivo detection of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathologies faces several challenges. A major gap in the field is the lack of diverse molecular scaffolds with high affinity and selectivity to α-syn fibrils for in vitro screening assays. Better in vitro scaffolds can instruct the discovery of better in vivo agents. We report the rational design, synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of a series of novel 1-indanone and 1,3-indandione derivatives from a Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) study centered on some existing α-syn fibril binding ligands. Our results from fibril saturation binding experiments show that two of the lead candidates compounds 8 and 32 bind α-syn fibrils with binding constants (K

    Abstract Analysis of three-dimensional biological samples is critical to understanding tissue function and the mechanisms of disease. Many chronic conditions, like neurodegenerative diseases and cancers, correlate with complex tissue changes that are difficult to explore using two-dimensional histology. While three-dimensional techniques such as confocal and light-sheet microscopy are well-established, they are time consuming, require expensive instrumentation, and are limited to small tissue volumes. Three-dimensional microscopy is therefore impractical in clinical settings and often limited to core facilities at major research institutions. There would be a tremendous benefit to providing clinicians and researchers with the ability to routinely image large three-dimensional tissue volumes at cellular resolution. In this paper, we propose an imaging methodology that enables fast and inexpensive three-dimensional imaging that can be readily integrated into current histology pipelines. This method relies on block-face imaging of paraffin-embedded samples using deep-ultraviolet excitation. The imaged surface is then ablated to reveal the next tissue section for imaging. The final image stack is then aligned and reconstructed to provide tissue models that exceed the depth and resolution achievable with modern three-dimensional imaging systems.

    Abstract The abnormal phosphorylation of tau is a necessary precursor to the formation of tau fibrils, a marker of Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesize that hyperphosphorylative conditions may result in unique cell surface markers. We identify and demonstrate the utility of such surrogate markers to identify the hyperphosphorylative state.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common form of dementia in aged populations. A substantial amount of data demonstrates that chronic neuroinflammation can accelerate neurodegenerative pathologies. In AD, chronic neuroinflammation results in the upregulation of cyclooxygenase and increased production of prostaglandin H2, a precursor for many vasoactive prostanoids. While it is well-established that many prostaglandins can modulate the progression of neurodegenerative disorders, the role of prostacyclin (PGI2) in the brain is poorly understood. We have conducted studies to assess the effect of elevated prostacyclin biosynthesis in a mouse model of AD. Upregulated prostacyclin expression significantly worsened multiple measures associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) disease pathologies. Mice overexpressing both Aβ and PGI2 exhibited impaired learning and memory and increased anxiety-like behavior compared with non-transgenic and PGI2 control mice. PGI2 overexpression accelerated the development of Aβ accumulation in the brain and selectively increased the production of soluble Aβ

    Abstract Cerebrovascular dysfunction is a critical risk factor for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purinergic P2Y2 receptor and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are tightly associated with vascular dysfunction and the pathogenesis of AD. However, the protective effects of exercise training on P2Y2 receptor- and ER stress-associated cerebrovascular dysfunction in AD are mostly unknown. Control (C57BL/6, CON) and AD (APP/PS1dE9, AD) mice underwent treadmill exercise training (EX). 2-MeS-ATP-induced dose-dependent vasoreactivity was determined by using a pressurized posterior cerebral artery (PCA) from 10-12-mo-old mice. Human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) were exposed to laminar shear stress (LSS) at 20 dyn/cm

    Abstract Progranulin is a widely expressed protein that is involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes, including embryogenesis, host defense, and wound repair. In the central nervous system, progranulin is constitutively expressed at modest levels in neurons and microglia, but shows dramatic microglial immunoreactivity in degenerative diseases that exhibit prominent neuroinflammation. In addition to the role that PGRN plays in the periphery, its expression is of critical importance in brain health, as demonstrated by recent discovery that progranulin haploinsufficiency results in familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Since progranulin deficiency was first described, there has been an intense ongoing effort to decipher the mysterious role that this protein plays in dementia. This review provides an update on our understanding of the possible neuronal function and discusses the challenging problems related to progranulin expression within genetics, cell biology, and neurodegeneration.
