Inflammation and Alzheimer's disease.

TLDR
By better understanding AD inflammatory and immunoregulatory processes, it should be possible to develop anti-inflammatory approaches that may not cure AD but will likely help slow the progression or delay the onset of this devastating disorder.

Amyloid β Oligomers Disrupt Blood–CSF Barrier Integrity by Activating Matrix Metalloproteinases

TL;DR: The results reveal that Alzheimer's disease-associated soluble Aβ1–42 oligomers induce BCSFB dysfunction and suggest MMPs as a possible therapeutic target, and suggest that MMP inhibition might have therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

NSAID and Antioxidant Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease: Lessons from In Vitro and Animal Models

TL;DR: At sustainable doses designed to mimic protective consumption in the epidemiology, ibuprofen reduces amyloid accumulation but suppresses a surprisingly limited subset of inflammatory markers in APPsw transgenic mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased production of inflammatory cytokines in mild cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: The data indicate that changes in cytokine production by PBMCs may be detected early in MCI, and an alteration of the immune response may precede clinical AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroprotective Effect of Fisetin Against Amyloid-Beta-Induced Cognitive/Synaptic Dysfunction, Neuroinflammation, and Neurodegeneration in Adult Mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that fisetin has a potent neuroprotective effect against Aβ1–42-induced neurotoxicity and demonstrated that polyphenolic flavonoids such as f isetin could be a beneficial, effective and safe neuroProtective agent for preventing neurological disorders such as AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-1-Antichymotrypsin Promotes β-Sheet Amyloid Plaque Deposition in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that ACT promotes amyloid deposition and provide a specific mechanism by which inflammation and the subsequent upregulation of astrocytic ACT expression in AD brain contributes to AD pathogenesis.

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis as a mechanism of action for aspirin-like drugs

TL;DR: Experiments with guinea-pig lung suggest that some of the therapeutic effects of sodium salicylate and aspirin-like drugs are due to inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-beta signal transduction.

TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

An endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors

TL;DR: It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines — Chemotactic Cytokines That Mediate Inflammation

TL;DR: This review introduces the burgeoning family of cytokines, with special emphasis on their role in the pathophysiology of disease and their potential as targets for therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Antidiabetic Thiazolidinedione Is a High Affinity Ligand for Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ (PPARγ)

TL;DR: It is reported that thiazolidinediones are potent and selective activators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily recently shown to function in adipogenesis, and raised the intriguing possibility that PPARγ is a target for the therapeutic actions of this class of compounds.
