Brain injury, neuroinflammation and Alzheimer's disease
With as many as 300,000 United States troops in Iraq and Afghanistan having suffered head injuries (Miller, 2012), traumatic brain injury (TBI) has garnered much recent attention. While the cause and severity of these injuries is variable, severe cases can lead to lifelong disability or even death. While aging is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is now becoming clear th...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species, Redox Signaling and Neuroinflammation in Alzheimers Disease: The NF-kappa B Connection
Oxidative stress and inflammatory response are important elements of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, but the role of redox signaling cascade and its cross-talk with inflammatory mediators have not been elucidated in details in this disorder. The review summarizes the facts about redox-signaling cascade in the cells operating through an array of kinases, phosphatases and transcription fac...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation after Traumatic Injury to the Developing Brain
RESULTS: Apoptotic neuronal cell death detected by TUNEL was found at distant regions to trauma site mainly ipsilateral from 6 h to 5 days later. A substantial activation of ED1+ microglia occurred at the site of primary and secondary damages. It was first evident at 12 h, peaked at 36-48 h and decreased significantly after 5 days. A marked increase of mRNA, protein levels and imunohistochemica...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
متن کاملP 104: Effects of Human Neural Stem Cells in Cure Neuroinflammation of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an external mechanical injury to the brain. Neuroinflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of TBI. Microglia and astrocytes play a central role in the initiation and regulation of inflammation. Numerous pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) released by microglia. In ...
