    Abstract The neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most common forms of dementia and no pharmacological treatments are to date available for these diseases. Indeed, the only used drugs are symptomatic and no useful to block the progression of the diseases. The lack of a therapeutic approach is also due to a lack of an early diagnosis. This Research Topic describes a new target that is involved in the firs step of these disorders and that can be useful for the treatment and the diagnosis of such pathologies: the cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 or CB2R. Indeed, CB2R is overexpressed in reactive microglia and activated astrocytes during neuroinflammation and thus their detection by PET probes can be an easily strategy for an early diagnosis of neurodegeneration. Moreover, CB2 agonists and inverse agonists displayed neuroprotective effects and they so can be candidated as new therapeutich drugs for the treatment of these pathologies. Therefore, the aim of this Research Topic is to show the great potential of CB2R ligands for the development of new tools/drugs for both the therapy and the diagnosis of neurodegeneration

    Abstract Iron overload in neurodegenerative diseases is well established but of uncertain significance. In a recent article, Ryan et al. reveal that microglia are especially vulnerable to iron overload-induced ferroptosis. Their evidence for microglial ferroptosis in clinical specimens indicates that ferroptosis inhibitors may hold therapeutic promise for these diseases.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measures neurochemicals in vivo. Glutathione (GSH) is a neuroprotective chemical shown to vary significantly in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). This work investigates the reproducibility of GSH measures in the mesial temporal lobe (MTL) to identify its potential clinical utility.
    Methods: MRS data were acquired from eight healthy volunteers (31.1 ± 5.2 years; 4 male/female) using Mescher-Garwood-Point Resolved Spectroscopy (MEGA-PRESS) from the MTL in the left hemisphere across two scan sessions in the same visit. Total N-acetylaspartate (tNAA), choline (tCho), creatine (tCr), and GSH were quantified. Reproducibility of quantifications of these neurochemicals were tested using coefficient of variance (CV) between scan sessions. Reproducibility of voxel placement on the left MTL was calculated by measuring the tissue overlap and percent of hippocampus within that voxel. CV measured across different scan sessions in each individual, with a CV<15% was accepted as "good" reproducibility. Paired t-tests were carried out to establish the significant differences between the two scans across each individual with p<.05 as significant.
    Results: TNAA (%CV = 7.2; p = .5), tCr (%CV = 7.8; p = .6) and tCho (%CV = 9.3; p = .4), and GSH (%CV = 22; p = .1). The dice coefficient that reflects the level of overlap of hippocampal tissue in the voxel was shown to be 0.8 ± 0.1. Voxel tissue composition were: Scan 1 (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]: 5 ± 1%, white matter [WM]: 52 ± 3%, gray matter [GM]: 43 ± 3%); Scan 2 (CSF: 5 ± 1%, WM: 52 ± 4%, GM: 44 ± 4%).
    Conclusion: The data suggest measures of abundant metabolites in the MTL using the MEGA-PRESS sequence has a high reproducibility. Reproducibility of GSH in this area was poorer requiring care when interpreting measures of GSH in the MTL for clinical translational purposes.

    Abstract Vitamin A (retinol) is a lipid-soluble vitamin that acts as a precursor for several bioactive compounds, such as retinaldehyde (retinal) and isomers of retinoic acid. Retinol and all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) penetrate the blood-brain barrier and are reported to be neuroprotective in several animal models. We characterised the impact of retinol and its metabolites, all-trans-retinal (atRAL) and atRA, on ferroptosis-a programmed cell death caused by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis was induced by erastin, buthionine sulfoximine or RSL3 in neuronal and non-neuronal cell lines. We found that retinol, atRAL and atRA inhibited ferroptosis with a potency superior to α-tocopherol, the canonical anti-ferroptotic vitamin. In contrast, we found that antagonism of endogenous retinol with anhydroretinol sensitises ferroptosis induced in neuronal and non-neuronal cell lines. Retinol and its metabolites atRAL and atRA directly interdict lipid radicals in ferroptosis since these compounds displayed radical trapping properties in a cell-free assay. Vitamin A, therefore, complements other anti-ferroptotic vitamins, E and K; metabolites of vitamin A, or agents that alter their levels, may be potential therapeutics for diseases where ferroptosis is implicated.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases worldwide, has a devastating personal, familial, and societal impact. In spite of profound investment and effort, numerous clinical trials targeting amyloid-β, which is thought to have a causative role in the disease, have not yielded any clinically meaningful success to date. Iron is an essential cofactor in many physiological processes in the brain. An extensive body of work links iron dyshomeostasis with multiple aspects of the pathophysiology of AD. In particular, regional iron load appears to be a risk factor for more rapid cognitive decline. Existing iron-chelating agents have been in use for decades for other indications, and there are preliminary data that some of these could be effective in AD. Many novel iron-chelating compounds are under development, some with in vivo data showing potential Alzheimer's disease-modifying properties. This heretofore underexplored therapeutic class has considerable promise and could yield much-needed agents that slow neurodegeneration in AD.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands out as a major disease without any form of preventative or disease modifying therapy. This is not for lack of trying. 33 phase 3 clinical trials of drugs targeting amyloid beta (Aβ) have failed to slow cognitive decline in AD. The field is at a cross-roads about whether to continue anti-Aβ therapy or more actively pursue alternative targets. With the burden of this disease to patients, families, and healthcare budgets growing yearly, the need for disease modifying AD therapies has become one of the highest priorities in all of medicine. While pathology, genetic and biochemical data offer a popular narrative for the causative role of Aβ, there are alternative explanations, and dissenting findings that, now more than ever, warrant thorough reanalysis. This review questions the major assumptions about Aβ on which therapies for AD were premised, and invites renewed interrogation into AD pathogenesis.

    Abstract Radical trapping agents such as Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) are capable of rescuing cells from ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death. Previously, poly(2-oxazoline)-Fer-1 (POx-Fer-1) conjugates were reported, which possess increased water-solubility and remain active after covalent conjugation of Fer-1. In this study, we break down the structural and functional layers of POx-Fer-1 conjugates and reveal that drug-free POx containing arylalkylamine and benzamide motifs show anti-ferroptosis properties. Intriguingly, even the basic construct poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline-grad-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) P(MeOx-grad-PhOx) was found to be active. Therefore, P(MeOx-grad-PhOx) of varying compositions were prepared, characterized by
