Introduction: Irisin is a novel hormone originally identified for its role as a regulator of peripheral metabolism and recently found to protect synapses and rescue memory in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, whether and how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) irisin varies in relation to canonical AD biomarkers and cognition in humans remains unknown.
Methods: We determined CSF levels of irisin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and examined their correlations with CSF amyloid beta (Aβ), total tau, and Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) scores in a cohort comprising AD patients ( = 14) and non-demented controls (NDC; = 25).
Results: CSF irisin correlated positively with BDNF, Aβ, and MMSE scores, but not with CSF total tau.
Discussion: Results indicate that CSF irisin and BDNF are directly correlated with Aβ pathology and cognition in AD.

Irisin Levels in Cerebrospinal Fluid Correlate with Biomarkers and Clinical Dementia Scores in Alzheimer Disease.

Objective: Irisin, released by muscles during exercise, was recently identified as a neuroprotective factor in mouse models of Alzheimer disease (AD). In a cohort of AD patients, we studied cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma irisin levels, sex interactions, and correlations with disease biomarkers.
Methods: Correlations between CSF and plasma irisin levels and AD biomarkers (amyloid β 1-42, hyperphosphorylated tau, and total tau [t-tau]) and Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) were analyzed in a cohort of patients with Alzheimer dementia (n = 82), mild cognitive impairment (n = 44), and subjective memory complaint (n = 20) biologically characterized according to the recent amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration classification.

Introduction: Depression is frequent among older adults and is a risk factor for dementia. Identifying molecular links between depression and dementia is necessary to shed light on shared disease mechanisms. Reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neuroinflammation are implicated in the pathophysiology of depression and dementia.

Background And Objectives: Cementoblasts can communicate with osteoclasts by synthesis and secretion of cytokines, such as RANKL, OPG, and M-CSF. Previously, we reported that irisin promotes the differentiation of cementoblasts, while the effect of irisin on cementoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis remains inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the effect of irisin on the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related cytokines in cementoblasts.

Recent studies have suggested that irisin may act as a potential neurokine. Exercise and L-carnosine supplementation showed neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like conditions. However, the regulation of irisin in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced memory impairment and its relation to insulin signalling remain to be investigated.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a high incidence, mortality, and morbidity all over the world. One important reason for its poor clinical prognosis is brain edema caused by blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction after TBI. The mechanism may be related to the disorder of mitochondrial morphology and function of neurons in damaged brain tissue, the decrease of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) activity, and the increase of inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress.
