Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
GSK R&D, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.
Background: Genetic variants in GRN, the gene encoding progranulin, are causal for or are associated with the risk of multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Modulating progranulin has been considered as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases including Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Here, we integrated genetics with proteomic data to determine the causal human evidence for the therapeutic benefit of modulating progranulin in AD.

However, the clinically meaningful size and mechanism-of-actions of sildenafil in potential prevention and treatment of AD remind unknown.
Method: We conducted new patient data analyses using both the MarketScan® Medicare with Supplemental database (n = 7.

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most common nonheritable causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is lack of effective treatment for both AD and TBI. We posit that network-based integration of multi-omics and endophenotype disease module coupled with large real-world patient data analysis of electronic health records (EHR) can help identify repurposable drug candidates for the treatment of TBI and AD.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Although investment in biomedical and pharmaceutical research has increased significantly over the past two decades, there are no oral disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Method: We performed comprehensive human genetic and multi-omics data analyses to test likely causal relationship between EPHX2 (encoding soluble epoxide hydrolase [sEH]) and risk of AD. Next, we tested the effect of the oral administration of EC5026 (a first-in-class, picomolar sEH inhibitor) in a transgenic mouse model of AD-5xFAD and mechanistic pathways of EC5026 in patient induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) derived neurons.

Innovation Center for Neurological Disorders, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China;, Beijing, China.
Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face an increased risk of dementia. Recent discoveries indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors, a newer class of anti-diabetic medication, exhibit beneficial metabolic effects beyond glucose control, offering a potential avenue for mitigating the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, limited evidence exists regarding whether the use of SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduces the risk of AD.
