Background: The vicious cycle between depression and dementia increases the risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis and pathology. This study investigates therapeutic effectiveness versus side effects and the underlying mechanisms of intranasal dantrolene nanoparticles (IDNs) to treat depression behavior and memory loss in 5XFAD mice.
Method: 5XFAD and wild-type B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with IDNs (IDN, 5 mg/kg) in Ryanodex formulation for a duration of 12 weeks.

Background: We identified small molecule tricyclic pyrone compound CP2 as a mild mitochondrial complex I (MCI) inhibitor that induces neuroprotection in multiple mouse models of AD. One of the major concerns while targeting mitochondria is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). CP2 consists of two diastereoisomers, D1 and D2, with distinct activity and toxicity profiles.

Background: Cognitive impairment, a common aging-related pathology, is a risk factor for dementia. Echinacoside (ECH), derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Cistanche deserticola, shows anti-aging properties including anti-inflammation, oxidative stress reduction, and neuronal protection. Despite its benefits, the beneficial impact of ECH on age-related cognitive decline remains unclear.

Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.

Background: Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) has been identified as the major genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our lab has demonstrated that chronic administration of Aβ12-28P, a synthetic peptide that blocks apoE4/Aβ binding, in middle-aged transgenic AD mice significantly ameliorates pathology progression, resulting in reduced Aβ plaques deposition and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) along with improved memory and cognition. However, whether blocking apoE4/Aβ interaction by Aβ12-28P also has an ameliorating effect on the neuronal and cognitive function of old AD mice where Aβ pathology has been extensively developed remains unknown.
