TLDR
Significant evidence suggests that the prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and protect against the cognitive decline associated to healthy aging in humans.

Aging and amyloid β oligomers enhance TLR4 expression, LPS-induced Ca2+ responses, and neuron cell death in cultured rat hippocampal neurons.

TL;DR: Aging and amyloid β oligomers, the neurotoxin involved in Alzheimer’s disease, enhance TLR4 expression as well as LPS-induced Ca2+ responses and neuron cell death in rat hippocampal neurons aged in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro aging promotes endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria Ca2 + cross talk and loss of store-operated Ca2 + entry (SOCE) in rat hippocampal neurons

TL;DR: This work found that short-term cultured neurons show large SOCE, low Ca2+ store content and no functional coupling between ER and mitochondria, and suggests that neuronal aging is associated to increased ER-mitochondrial cross talking and loss of SOCE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of serum albumin as a nanoparticulate carrier for nose-to-brain delivery of R-flurbiprofen: implications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The potential of serum albumin as nanoparticulate carriers for nose‐to‐brain delivery of R‐FP to improve its brain accumulation is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging enables Ca2+ overload and apoptosis induced by amyloid-β oligomers in rat hippocampal neurons: Neuroprotection by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and r-flurbiprofen in aging neurons

TL;DR: Long-term cultures of rat hippocampal neurons, a model of neuronal in vitro aging, are used to investigate the contribution of aging to Ca2+ dishomeostasis and neuron cell death induced by Aβ42 oligomers and to test whether non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and R-flurbiprofen prevent apoptosis acting on subcellular Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality by Design Based Formulation Study of Meloxicam-Loaded Polymeric Micelles for Intranasal Administration.

TL;DR: The developed formulation resulted in more than 20 times faster MEL dissolution rate and five-fold higher nasal permeability compared to starting MEL, and the prediction of IVIVC confirmed the great potential for in vivo brain distribution of MEL.

Neuroprotection by Aspirin and Sodium Salicylate Through Blockade of NF-κB Activation

TL;DR: At concentrations compatible with amounts in plasma during chronic anti-inflammatory therapy, acetylsalicylic acid and its metabolite sodium salicylate were found to be protective against neurotoxicity elicited by the excitatory amino acid glutamate in rat primary neuronal cultures and hippocampal slices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of Alzheimer's disease: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Observational studies support the use of NSAIDs for prevention of AD, but RCT do not; well-designed studies and innovative approaches are required to illuminate the exact relationship between NSAID use and AD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Ca2+ overload underlies Aβ oligomers neurotoxicity providing an unexpected mechanism of neuroprotection by NSAIDs

TL;DR: It is found that a series of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including salicylate, sulindac sulfide, indomethacin, ibuprofen and R-flurbiprofen depolarize mitochondria and inhibit mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, cytochrome c release and cell death induced by Aβ oligomers.

Excitotoxic Calcium Overload in a Subpopulation of Mitochondria Triggers Delayed Death in Hippocampal Neurons

TL;DR: A mechanism in which delayed excitotoxic death involves apoptogen release from a subpopulation of calcium-overloaded mitochondria, whereas other, undamaged mitochondria maintain normal function is supported, supported by measured concentrations of total Ca in individual mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased vulnerability of hippocampal neurons with age in culture: temporal association with increases in NMDA receptor current, NR2A subunit expression and recruitment of L-type calcium channels.

TL;DR: Enhanced excitotoxic vulnerability with age in culture was associated with a substantial increase in NMDA-R current, concomitant increases in NR2A and NR1 but not NR2B subunit expression, and with apparent recruitment of L-VGCCs into the excitOToxic process.
