📃Scientific paper: Thyroid hormone action during GABAergic neuron maturation: The quest for mechanisms Abstract: International audience; Thyroid hormone (TH) signaling plays a major role in mammalian brain development. Data obtained in the past years in animal models have pinpointed GABAergic neurons as a major target of TH signaling during development, which opens up new perspectives to further investigate the mechanisms by which TH affects brain development. The aim of the present review is to gather the available information about the involvement of TH in the maturation of GABAergic neurons. After giving an overview of the kinds of neurological disorders that may arise from disruption of TH signaling during brain development in humans, we will take a historical perspective to show how rodent models of hypothyroidism have gradually pointed to GABAergic neurons as a main target of TH signaling during brain development. The third part of this review underscores the challenges that are encountered when conducting gene expression studies to investigate the molecular mechanisms that are at play downstream of TH receptors during brain development. Unravelling the mechanisms of action of TH in the developing brain should help make progress in the prevention and treatment of several neurological disorders, including autism and epilepsy.

#microRNA #neuron #protection MicroRNAs: protective regulators for neuron growth and development https://lnkd.in/g5Gman8b MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important regulatory role in neuronal growth and development. Different miRNAs target different genes to protect neurons in different ways, such as by avoiding apoptosis, preventing degeneration mediated by conditional mediators, preventing neuronal loss, weakening certain neurotoxic mechanisms, avoiding damage to neurons, and reducing inflammatory damage to them. The high expression of miRNAs in the brain has significantly facilitated their development as protective targets for therapy, including neuroprotection and neuronal recovery. miRNA is indispensable to the growth and development of neurons, and in turn, is beneficial for the development of the brain and checking the progression of various diseases of the nervous system. It can thus be used as an important therapeutic target for models of various diseases. This review provides an introduction to the protective effects of miRNA on neurons in case of different diseases or damage models, and then provides reference values and reflections on the relevant treatments for the benefit of future research in the area.

Microglia, the sentinel cells of the central nervous system, play a crucial role in maintaining brain health and responding to diverse neuronal injury or disease. Recent research has highlighted the importance of microglia in various neurological disorders, including rare genetic brain disorders. These rare genetic brain disorders, such as Rett syndrome (mutant MECP2) and Nasu-Hakola disease (Mutant TREM2), are associated with microglial dysfunction. TREM2 gene mutations, which are primarily expressed in microglia, are responsible for Nasu-Hakola disease, leading to neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration. However, due to lack of earlier human relevant microglia cell type, it was difficult to study such rare brain genetic disorders and recent advancements in the field, we can now functionally differentiate microglia from human iPSC cells and model these rare genetic disorders through gene editing technology. These breakthroughs offer valuable opportunities to unravel the complex interplay between genetics, microglial function, and brain health. Understanding the roles of microglia in rare genetic brain disorders is crucial for developing effective treatments and drug screening for those affected. #Microglia #BrainHealth #NeurologicalDisorders #Research #GeneEditing #RareBrainGeneticDisease #Neuroinflammation #Rettsyndrome #NasuHakoladisease Further Readings: https://lnkd.in/gwh3dxub

Today, I feel the need to advocate for an early achievement in my life to boast my self confidence. It is to showcase that if I put my mind to something, I see the end to it. I present to you my first ever research publication on the drastic effects of Iron on Neuroblastoma cells. Here, are some of the highlights of that research. 🔬 Delving into Cellular Mechanisms: Unveiling Iron’s Impact on Neuroblastoma Cells During my Master’s program, I embarked on a transformative research journey exploring the intricate interplay between iron metabolism and cellular health. Focusing on the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line, I investigated how iron overload induces apoptotic cell death and disrupts autophagy—a pivotal study shedding light on neurodegenerative pathways. 🌟 Breakthrough Findings: Uncovering Apoptosis and Autophagy Dynamics Our research uncovered compelling evidence linking iron overload to apoptotic pathways in SH-SY5Y cells, elucidating mechanisms crucial for understanding neurodegenerative disorders. By meticulously examining cellular responses, we delineated how excessive iron triggers apoptotic cell death while concurrently impairing autophagy processes essential for cellular maintenance. 📈 Impact and Implications: Charting New Frontiers in Neurobiology Published in Springer, our findings underscore the critical role of iron in neuroblastoma pathogenesis, paving the way for targeted therapeutic strategies. This study not only contributes to the broader understanding of neurodegenerative diseases but also highlights potential avenues for intervention and treatment development. 🔍 Future Directions: Towards Advancing Scientific Knowledge As we continue to unravel the complexities of cellular biology, I am eager to explore further implications of iron-induced cellular responses and their broader implications in neurobiology. This research represents a foundational step in my commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and making meaningful contributions to the field of neurobiology. #Neurobiology #Cellularmechanisms #Ironmetabolism #Neurodegeneration #Apoptosis #Autophagy #Sciencecommunication #Springer

An MIT study published in the July edition of Nature provides new evidence for how specific cells and circuits become vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease, and hones in on other factors that may help some people show resilience to cognitive decline, even amid clear signs of disease pathology. To highlight potential targets for interventions to sustain cognition and memory, the authors engaged in a novel comparison of gene expression across multiple brain regions in people with or without Alzheimer’s disease, and conducted lab experiments to test and validate their major findings. Brain cells all have the same DNA but what makes them differ, both in their identity and their activity, are their patterns of how they express those genes. The new analysis measured gene expression differences in more than 1.3 million cells of more than 70 cell types in six brain regions from 48 tissue donors, 26 of whom died with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis and 22 of whom without. As such, the study provides a uniquely large, far-ranging, and yet detailed accounting of how brain cell activity differs amid Alzheimer’s disease by cell type, by brain region, by disease pathology, and by each person’s cognitive assessment while still alive. “Specific brain regions are vulnerable in Alzheimer’s and there is an important need to understand how these regions or particular cell types are vulnerable,” says co-senior author Li-Huei Tsai, Picower Professor of Neuroscience and director of The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and the Aging Brain Initiative. “And the brain is not just neurons. It’s many other cell types. How these cell types may respond differently, depending on where they are, is something fascinating we are only at the beginning of looking at.” More: https://lnkd.in/e_6up9Tp

Really pleased to share the Hallock lab's first preprint, with lab alumni Genevieve Craig, Sam Essig, and Liz Ramos, who each put a ton of work into this project during the lab's first couple of years! A big goal of the lab is to identify brain "circuits" (areas of the brain with connections to one another) that are selectively involved in attention and memory. We previously identified one such circuit, and characterized how it functions while mice are performing a task that requires attention. Maybe if we could access this circuit in patients with disorders that affect attention, like ADHD and schizophrenia, we could provide targeted treatments for attention deficits in these patients. The problem, however, is that we can't use the same invasive techniques in humans that we use in mice to manipulate this circuit. In this paper, we try to find a way around this problem by identifying how genes are expressed when this circuit is active. We think of this unique pattern of gene expression as a molecular "fingerprint" that is tied to this specific circuit. The hope is that we could use this information to pharmacologically target these genes (or the proteins that they encode), and indirectly influence circuit function in patients with attention symptoms.
