    Abstract Common features of neurodegenerative diseases are oxidative and inflammatory imbalances as well as the misfolding of proteins. An excess of free metal ions can be pathological and contribute to cell death, but only copper and zinc strongly promote protein aggregation. Herein we demonstrate that the endogenous copper binding tripeptide Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (GHK) has the ability to bind to and reduce copper redox activity, and to prevent copper and zinc induced cell death in vitro. In addition, GHK prevents copper- and zinc-induced BSA aggregation and reverses aggregation through resolubilizing the protein. We further demonstrate the enhanced toxicity of copper during inflammation and the ability of GHK to attenuate this toxicity. Finally, we investigated the effects of copper on enhancing paraquat toxicity and report a protective effect of GHK. We therefore conclude that GHK has potential as a cytoprotective compound with regards to copper and zinc toxicity, with positive effects on protein solubility and aggregation that warrants further investigation in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract Background: Traditional concepts of radiobiology model the direct radiation-induced cellular cytotoxicity but are not focused on late and sustained effects of radiation. Recent experimental data show the close involvement of immunological processes.
    Methods: Based on systematic PubMed searches, experimental data on immunological radiation effects are summarized and analyzed in a non-quantitative descriptive manner to provide a translational perspective on the immuno-modulatory impact of radiation in cancer.
    Results: Novel experimental findings document that sustained radiation effects are ultimately mediated through systemic factors such as cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and involve a local immuno-stimulation. Increased tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cell is a prerequisite for long-term radiation effects. CD8+ T cell depletion induces radio-resistance in experimental tumors. The proposed sequence of events involves radiation-damaged cells that release HMGB1, which activates macrophages via TLR4 to a local immuno-stimulation via TNF, which contributes to maturation of DCs. The mature DCs migrate to lymph nodes where they trigger effective CD8+ T cell responses. Radiation effects are boosted, when the physiological self-terminating negative feedback of immune reactions is antagonised via blocking of TGF-β or via checkpoint inhibition with involvement of CD8+ T cells as common denominator.
    Conclusion: The concept of immuno-radiobiology emphasizes the necessity for a functional integrity of APCs and T cells for the long-term effects of radiotherapy. Local irradiation at higher doses induces tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells, which can be boosted by immunotherapy. More systematic research is warranted to better understand the immunological effects of escalating radiation doses.

    Abstract Cell therapy is an integral modality of regenerative medicine. Macrophages are known for their sensitivity to activation stimuli and capability to recruit other immune cells to the sites of injury and healing. In addition, the route of administration can impact engraftment and efficacy of cell therapy, and modern neuro-interventional techniques provide the possibility for selective intra-arterial (IA) delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) with very low risk. The effects of radiolabelling and catheter transport on differentially activated macrophages were evaluated. Furthermore, the safety of selective IA administration of these macrophages to the rabbit brain was assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and ultra-high-field (9.4 T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cells were successfully labeled with (

    Abstract Microglia are specialized dynamic immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that plays a crucial role in brain homeostasis and in disease states. Persistent neuroinflammation is considered a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Colony stimulating factor 1-receptor (CSF-1R) is predominantly expressed on microglia and its expression is significantly increased in neurodegenerative diseases. Cumulative findings have indicated that CSF-1R inhibitors can have beneficial effects in preclinical neurodegenerative disease models. Research using CSF-1R inhibitors has now been extended into non-human primates and humans. This review article summarizes the most recent advances using CSF-1R inhibitors in different neurodegenerative conditions including AD, PD, HD, ALS and MS. Potential challenges for translating these findings into clinical practice are presented.

    Abstract Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) is a mitochondrial isozyme in the PDK family (PDK1-4) partially responsible for phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). Phosphorylation of PDH is thought to result in a pro-proliferative shift in metabolism that sustains growth of cancer cells. Previous data from our lab indicate the pan-PDK inhibitor dichloroacetate (DCA) or acute genetic knockdown of PDK4 blocks proliferation of bladder cancer (BCa) cells. The goal of this study was to determine the role of PDK4 in an in vivo BCa model, with the hypothesis that genetic depletion of PDK4 would impair formation of BCa. PDK4
