    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment and memory loss. Epidemiological evidence suggests that heavy alcohol consumption aggravates AD pathology, whereas low alcohol intake may be protective. However, these observations have been inconsistent, and because of methodological discrepancies, the findings remain controversial. Alcohol-feeding studies in AD mice support the notion that high alcohol intake promotes AD, while also hinting that low alcohol doses may be protective against AD. Chronic alcohol feeding to AD mice that delivers alcohol doses sufficient to cause liver injury largely promotes and accelerates AD pathology. The mechanisms by which alcohol can modulate cerebral AD pathology include Toll-like receptors, protein kinase-B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein phosphorylation pathway, glycogen synthase kinase 3-β, cyclin-dependent kinase-5, insulin-like growth factor type-1 receptor, modulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) synthesis and clearance, microglial mediated, and brain endothelial alterations. Besides these brain-centric pathways, alcohol-mediated liver injury may significantly affect brain Aβ levels through alterations in the peripheral-to-central Aβ homeostasis. This article reviews published experimental studies (cell culture and AD rodent models) to summarize the scientific evidence and probable mechanisms (both cerebral and hepatic) by which alcohol promotes or protects against AD progression.

    Abstract Brain microvascular endothelial cells, forming the anatomical site of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), are widely used as in vitro complements to in vivo BBB studies. Among the immortalized cells used as in vitro BBB models, the murine-derived bEnd.3 cells offer culturing consistency and low cost and are well characterized for functional and transport assays, but result in low transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER). Human-induced pluripotent stem cells differentiated into brain microvascular endothelial cells (ihBMECs) have superior barrier properties, but the process of differentiation is time-consuming and can result in mixed endothelial-epithelial gene expression. Here we performed a side-by-side comparison of the ihBMECs and bEnd.3 cells for key paracellular diffusional transport characteristics. The TEER across the ihBMECs was 45- to 68-fold higher than the bEnd.3 monolayer. The ihBMECs had significantly lower tracer permeability than the bEnd.3 cells. Both, however, could discriminate between the paracellular permeabilities of two tracers: sodium fluorescein (MW: 376 Da) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran (MW: 70 kDa). FITC-dextran permeability was a strong inverse-correlate of TEER in the bEnd.3 cells, whereas sodium fluorescein permeability was a strong inverse-correlate of TEER in the ihBMECs. Both bEnd.3 cells and ihBMECs showed the typical cobblestone morphology with robust uptake of acetylated LDL and strong immuno-positivity for vWF. Both models showed strong claudin-5 expression, albeit with differences in expression location. We further confirmed the vascular endothelial- (CD31 and tube-like formation) and erythrophagocytic-phenotypes and the response to inflammatory stimuli of ihBMECs. Overall, both bEnd.3 cells and ihBMECs express key brain endothelial phenotypic markers, and despite differential TEER measurements, these in vitro models can discriminate between the passage of different molecular weight tracers. Our results highlight the need to corroborate TEER measurements with different molecular weight tracers and that the bEnd.3 cells may be suitable for large molecule transport studies despite their low TEER.

    Abstract Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are F‐actin‐based open‐ended tubular extensions that form following stresses, such as nutritional deprivation and oxidative stress. The chemotherapy agent 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) represents a significant stressor to cancer cells and induces thymidine deficiency, a state similar to nutritional deprivation. However, the ability of 5‐FU to induce TNT formation in cancer cells and potentially enhance survival has not been explored. In this study, we examined whether 5‐FU can induce TNT formation in MCF‐7 breast cancer cells. Cytotoxic doses of 5‐FU (150–350 μm) were observed to significantly induce TNT formation beginning at 24 h after exposure. TNTs formed following 5‐FU treatment probably originated as extensions of gap junctions as MCF‐7 cells detach from cell clusters. TNTs act as conduits for exchange of cellular components and we observed mitochondrial exchange through TNTs following 5‐FU treatment. 5‐FU‐induced TNT formation was inhibited by over 80% following treatment with the F‐actin‐depolymerizing agent, cytochalasin B (cytoB). The inhibition of TNTs by cytoB corresponded with increased 5‐FU‐induced cytotoxicity by 30–62% starting at 48 h, suggesting TNT formation aides in MCF‐7 cell survival against 5‐FU. Two other widely used chemotherapy agents, docetaxel and doxorubicin induced TNT formation at much lower levels than 5‐FU. Our work suggests that the therapeutic targeting of TNTs may increase 5‐FU chemotherapy efficacy and decrease drug resistance in cancer cells, and these findings merits further investigation.
