P162: Emerging Perspectives on Mtor-Associated Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Inflammatory processes have been shown to be involved in development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) involves in various cellular processes including autophagy, apoptosis and energy metabolism. Recently, studies have been shown an association between mTOR pathway and inflammation, supporting the role of the pathway in the pathogenesis of infla...
متن کاملInflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
The decline in mental fitness associated with Alzheimer disease is accompanied by physical changes in the brain, including the development of characteristic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, but the pathogenesis of those changes is not clear. Recent work suggests that the activation of microglia in response to injury, illness, aging, or other causes begins a cascade of events that can best b...
متن کاملSirtuins in neurodegenerative diseases: an update on potential mechanisms
Silent information regulator 2 proteins (sirtuins or SIRTs) are a group of deacetylases (or deacylases) whose activities are dependent on and regulated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)). Compelling evidence supports that sirtuins play major roles in many aspects of physiology, especially in pathways related to aging - the predominant and unifying risk factor for neurodegenerative di...
متن کاملImmunity and inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases.
Immune reactions inside the central nervous system are finely regulated, thanks to the presence of several checkpoints that have the fundamental purpose to preserve this fragile tissue form harmful events. The current knowledge on the role of neuroinflammation and neuro-immune interactions in the fields of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease is reviewed. Moreover, a ...
متن کاملRole of inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inflammation is a self-defensive reaction aimed at eliminating or neutralizing injurious stimuli, and restoring tissue integrity. In neurodegenerative diseases inflammation occurs as a local response driven by microglia, in the absence of leucocyte infiltration. Like peripheral inflammation, neuroinflammation may become a harmful process, and it is now widely accepted that it ...
