NGF promotes amyloid precursor protein secretion via muscarinic receptor activation.

Processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is coupled to several neurotransmitter receptors, including m1 muscarinic (m1AChR), and is associated with decreased amyloid deposition. Muscarinic agonist-stimulated APP secretion and membrane APP were measured in control and in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells stably transfected with m1AChR. This secretion was markedly enhanced following treatment with 50 ng/ml NGF for 3 days, and was observed using either carbachol or the M1-selective agonist AF102B. The effects of NGF were reflected by larger reductions in membrane-associated APP levels following muscarinic stimulation. These observations imply that M1 muscarinic receptors may act in concert with NGF to boost APP processing, and M1-selective agonists may thus be beneficial for reducing amyloid deposition by NGF-responsive neurons.

With the growing demand for food safety and nutrition, the challenge of ensuring the quality of cooked meat products while reducing the accumulation of AGEs during processing needs urgent attention. In this study, the patterns of AGEs production, detection methods, quality contribution, and molecular mechanisms of its inhibition by natural plant-based extracts (NPBE) in cooked meat products were comprehensively reviewed. NPBE can effectively reduce the accumulation of AGEs in meat by binding to AGEs precursors and reducing glycosylation sites.

Dysbiosis in gut microbiota and abnormalities in bile acids have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. While many studies have focused on the relationship between colonic bacteria and Alzheimer's disease (AD), this study propose that alterations in the small intestine microbiota may play a more critical role. This is because the small intestine is pivotal in recycling bile acids through enterohepatic circulation.

Pathological stress can lead to failure in the translocation of mitochondrial proteins, resulting in accumulation of unimported proteins within the cytosol and upregulation of proteasome for their quality control. Malfunction or delay in protein clearance causes dysregulation of mitochondrial protein homeostasis, cellular toxicity, and diseases. Ubiquilins (UBQLNs) are known to serve as chaperone which associates with unimported mitochondrial membrane protein precursors, and facilitates their proteasomal degradation.
