Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, uncurable neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degradation of motor neurons leading to muscle impairment, failure, and death. Senataxin, encoded by the SETX gene, is a human helicase protein whose mutations have been linked with ALS onset, particularly in its juvenile ALS4 form. Using senataxin's yeast homolog Sen1 as a model for study, it is suggested that senataxin's N-terminus interacts with RNA polymerase II, whilst its C-terminus engages in helicase activity...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease affecting aging population worldwide. Neuroinflammation became a focus of research as one of the major pathologic processes relating to the disease onset and progression. Proinflammatory S100A9 is the central culprit in the amyloid-neuroinflammatory cascade implicated in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. We studied the effect of S100A9 on microglial BV-2 cell proliferation and migration. The responses of BV-2 cells to S100A9 stimulation were monitored in real-time using live cell microscopy, transcriptome sequencing, immunofluorescence staining, western blot analysis, and ELISA...

Otofaciocervical syndrome (OTFCS) is a rare genetic disorder of both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant patterns of inheritance. It is caused by biallelic or monoallelic mutations in PAX1 or EYA1 genes, respectively. Here, we report an OTFCS2 female patient of 1st consanguineous healthy parents. She manifested facial dysmorphism, hearing loss, intellectual disability (ID), and delayed language development (DLD) as the main clinical phenotype. The novel homozygous variant c.1212dup (p.Gly405Argfs*51) in the PAX1 gene was identified by whole exome sequencing (WES), and family segregation confirmed the heterozygous status of the mutation in the parents using the Sanger sequencing...

With a feature of complex pathogenic mechanisms, migraine is a well-known common neurovascular disorder. Multiple genes are responsible for hindering the susceptibility of pain threshold one of which is the eNOS gene and its variants. Multiple independent observational studies with case-control design produced conflicting findings, which can be attributed to a variety of factors including varying sample sizes, demographic stratification, technique application, etc. Therefore, in the present study we aimed to find out the precise risk between the selected variant of eNOS and the risk of migraine and its clinical subtypes using a meta-analysis approach...

Advanced age is an important risk factor for the worse clinical presentation of gliomas, especially glioblastoma (GBM). The tumor microenvironment (TME) in elderly GBM (eGBM) patients is considerably different from that in young ones, which causes the inferior clinical outcome. Based on the data from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas RNA sequence (CGGA RNA-seq), the Cancer Genome Atlas RNA array (TCGA RNA-array), and gene set enrichment (GSE) 16011 array sets, the differential genes and function between eGBM (≥ 60 years old) and young GBM (yGBM, 20-60 years old) groups were explored...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalently neurodegenerative disease characterized by neuronal damage which is associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation. Hederagenin is a triterpenoid saponin, exerting anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumoral, and neuroprotective activities. However, its role in AD progression is still obscure. The aim of this study was to explore the influences of hederagenin on Aβ-caused neuronal injury in vitro. Neuronal cells were treated with Aβ25-35 (Aβ) to establish a cellular model of AD...

Many homeostatic genes are thought to play a role in the susceptibility to migraine, making it a highly complex neurovascular disease. In this meta-analysis, our primary objective was to evaluate whether or not MTHFR variants (such as C677T and A1289C) and ACE I/D were associated with an increased risk of migraine. Using a PRISMA-based systematic literature-review guideline, internet sources such as PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to identify the genes of interest and migraine risk. To pool the data, odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated utilizing different genetic models...

The characteristics of ncRNA in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were observed to disclose a theoretical basis for further research on molecular markers for early warning of ASD. Children with ASD and normal control children were recruited to collect peripheral blood RNA samples. The concentration of PVT1 and miR-21-5p was quantitatively analyzed by qRT-PCR. Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to evaluate the link between PVT1 level and miR-21-5p level of the children. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to reckon the predictive value of PVT1, miR-21-5p, and their combination in ASD...

Intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by extreme genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. However, understanding this heterogeneity is difficult due to the intricate interplay among multiple interconnected genes, epigenetic factors, oxidative stress, and environmental factors. Employing next-generation sequencing (NGS), we revealed the genetic cause of ID and autistic traits in two patients from a consanguineous family followed by segregation analysis. Furthermore, in silico prediction methods and 3D modeling were conducted to predict the effect of the variants...

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and repetitive mTBI (RmTBI) are silent epidemics, and so far, there is no objective diagnosis. The severity of the injury is solely based on the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) scale. Most patients suffer from one or more behavioral abnormalities, such as headache, amnesia, cognitive decline, disturbed sleep pattern, anxiety, depression, and vision abnormalities. Additionally, most neuroimaging modalities are insensitive to capture structural and functional alterations in the brain, leading to inefficient patient management...

Dendritic spines are small, dynamic protrusions along the dendrite that comprise more than 90% of excitatory connections in the brain, making them essential sites for neuronal communication. These synaptic sites change throughout the process of development, reducing in density and shifting morphology as synapses are refined. One important class of dendritic spine regulators is microRNA (miRNA), small-noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Several studies suggest that miRNA-324-5p regulates dendritic spine formation...

The γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA (A) receptor) is a membrane protein activated by the neurotransmitter GABA. Structurally, this major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the human central nervous system is a pentamer that can be built from a selection of 19 subunits consisting of α(1,2,3,4,5 or 6), β (1,2 or 3), γ (1,2 or 3), ρ (1,2 or 3), and δ, π, θ, and ε. This creates several possible pentameric arrangements, which also influence the pharmacological and physiological properties of the receptor...

Immune-related pathways can affect the immune system directly, such as the chemokine signaling pathway, or indirectly, such as the phagosome pathway. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is reportedly associated with several immune-related pathways. However, exploring its underlying mechanism is challenging in animal studies because AD mouse strains differentially express immune-related pathway characteristics. To overcome this problem, we performed a meta-analysis to identify significant and consistent immune-related AD pathways that are expressed in different AD mouse strains...
