One-step selection of murine neuroblastoma (N18TG2 cell line) for the resistance to injuring action of higher temperature resulted in obtaining cell line NTR1 stably capable of proliferating at 40 degrees C. The thermoresistance is shown to be coupled with the changes in some phenotypic features of NTR1 cells: the multiplication rate, saturation density of cells, morphological features, inducibility of long neurite-like processes and adhesion. A possible significance of plasma membrane changes in genetically stable thermoresistance of NTR1 neuroblastoma cells is discussed.

Background: Recent transcriptome analysis has demonstrated increased expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1/FLT1) and decreased expression of VEGFR-2/KDR in AD brain. Increased expression of VEGFR-1 and its ligand VEGFB were associated with a more rapid rate of cognitive decline, providing evidence of a potential link between aberrant VEGFR-1 expression in AD pathogenesis. In this study, we explored the potential role of aberrant VEGFR-1 expression in neurons on AD pathology.

Background: Aβ peptide is a central player in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, which once generated rapidly tends to aggregate, from oligomers to fibrils and finally deposits into senile plaques, one of the disease hallmarks. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by all cell types and recognized as key intercellular communication mediators. In AD, it has been reported that EVs can carry Aβ and may potentially accelerate its aggregation, thus contributing to the seeding of the toxic peptide.

Aquinnah now reports identifying small molecule compounds that inhibit tau/TIA1 SGs in neuronal cell lines and show strong in vivo efficacy in a classic mouse model of tauopathy.
Method: Compounds identified using high content imaging screening in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, inducibly over-expressing tau::GFP and TIA1::mKate2, following exposure to stressor.
Background: Progranulin (GRN) plays a critical role in familial frontotemporal dementia (fFTD), where GRN haploinsufficiency leads to reduction in PGRN levels in the brain, resulting in degeneration of neurons in the frontal lobe of brain responsible for personality, language, and behavior. FTD is the most common dementia in people under 60. Sortilin (Sort1), expressed by neurons, endocytoses, and delivers PGRN rapidly to lysosomes for degradation.

Background: A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide (Aß). Potential treatments targeting Aß production such as γ-secretase inhibitors have had limited success. A promising alternative approach involves addressing early synaptic dysfunction by modulating molecules like striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP), whose levels and activity are upregulated by Aß.
