Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria serve as the major source of oxidative stress. Impaired mitochondria produce less adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which could be a major factor in the oxidative imbalance observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Well-balanced mitochondrial respiration is important for the proper functioning of cells and human health. Indeed, recent research has shown that elevated mitochondrial respiration underlies the development and therapy resistance of many types of cancer, whereas diminished mitochondrial respiration is linked to the pathogenesis of AD. Mitochondria govern several activities that are known to be changed in lung cancer, the largest cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Because of the significant dependence of lung cancer cells on mitochondrial respiration, numerous studies demonstrated that blocking mitochondrial activity is a potent strategy to treat lung cancer. Heme is a central factor in mitochondrial respiration/oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and its association with cancer is the subject of increased research in recent years. In neural cells, heme is a key component in mitochondrial respiration and the production of ATP. Here, we review the role of impaired heme metabolism in the etiology of AD. We discuss the numerous mitochondrial effects that may contribute to AD and cancer. In addition to emphasizing the significance of heme in the development of both AD and cancer, this review also identifies some possible biological connections between the development of the two diseases. This review explores shared biological mechanisms (Pin1, Wnt, and p53 signaling) in cancer and AD. In cancer, these mechanisms drive cell proliferation and tumorigenic functions, while in AD, they lead to cell death. Understanding these mechanisms may help advance treatments for both conditions. This review discusses precise information regarding common risk factors, such as aging, obesity, diabetes, and tobacco usage.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells and visual field defects and is one of the major causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the classifications of glaucoma. Oxidative stress in trabecular reticulated cells is one of the possible mechanisms of the development of glaucoma. At present, there is still a lack of effective methods to treat glaucoma. Ghrelin is characterized by its wide distribution and high potency and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects, which may be beneficial in the treatment of glaucoma. In this study, we investigated whether ghrelin can protect human trabecular meshwork cells (HTMCs) from oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as well as the possible mechanism of action. CCK8 and flow cytometry results revealed that treatment of HTMCs with ghrelin showed a dose-dependent protective effect against H2O2-induced damage. Ghrelin significantly decreased the rate of apoptosis and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in HTMCs. The difference was statistically significant compared with the H2O2 group. Ghrelin activated Nrf2/HO-1/NQO-1 signaling pathways and decreased HIF-1α level in H2O2-injured HTMCs as shown on qPCR and Western blot. In conclusion, ghrelin can protect HTMCs from oxidative damage induced by H2O2 and reduce apoptosis in HTMCs, which can be a new approach to treating POAG. The underlying therapeutic mechanism may be related to Nrf2/HO-1/NQO-1 signaling pathways and HIF-1α.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation between plasma adipose factor levels and Alzheimer's patients is not entirely clear. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate associations between AD and plasma levels of three adipokines including plasma adiponectin, leptin, and resistin. METHODS A single-center, cross-sectional study recruited AD patients (n = 148) and cognitively normal (CN) controls (n = 110). The multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine associations of adiponectin, leptin, and resistin with the presence of AD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was employed to determine the diagnostic power of adiponectin, leptin and resistin for AD. RESULTS After adjusted for the conventional risk factors, plasma levels of leptin (OR = 0.417, 95% CI: 0.272-0.638, p < 0.0001) and adiponectin (OR = 1.249, 95% CI: 1.151-1.354, p < 0.0001) were associated with the presence of AD. In total participants, the plasma adiponectin level was negatively correlated with MMSE scores (p < 0.0001) and was positively with CDR scores (p < 0.0001) and age (p < 0.0001). The plasma level of leptin was negatively correlated with CDR scores (p < 0.0001) and positively correlated with MMSE scores (p < 0.0001). Both adiponectin (p < 0. 0001) and leptin (p < 0. 0001) featured higher AUC than the random chance. CONCLUSIONS Plasma adiponectin and leptin were associated with the presence, symptomatic severity, and diagnostic power of AD, suggesting a potential role of adipokines in the pathogenesis of AD.

Alzheimers Res Ther 2022; 14:165. [PMID: 36329496 PMCID: PMC9635143 DOI: 10.1186/s13195-022-01107-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background Blood adiponectin and leptin are adipokines that emerged as potential biomarkers for predicting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) owing to their strong connection with obesity. Although obesity affects the relation between beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation and cognitive decline, the longitudinal interactive effect of adipokines and Aβ on cognition and brain structures in humans remains unexplored. Hence, we investigated whether plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin are associated with future cognitive decline and cortical thinning across Aβ conditions (Aβ [+] and Aβ [−]) in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Of 156 participants with MCI from the longitudinal cohort study of Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), 31 were Aβ (−) and 125 were Aβ (+) as determined by CSF analysis. The Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) scores and the thickness of the parahippocampal and entorhinal cortices were used to evaluate cognition and brain structure, respectively. After stratifying groups by Aβ conditions, the association of cognitive and brain structural changes with baseline plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin was examined. Results Of the total 156 participants, 51 were women (32.7%). The mean age of participants was 74.5 (standard deviation 7.57), and the mean follow-up period was 54.3 months, without a difference between the Aβ (+) and (−) groups. After adjustment for confounders, higher plasma adiponectin levels were associated with a faster increase in ADAS-Cog scores, indicating faster cognitive decline under the Aβ (+) condition (beta = 0.224, p = 0.018). Likewise, participants with higher plasma adiponectin presented faster cortical thinning in the bilateral parahippocampal cortices under the Aβ (+) condition (beta = − 0.004, p = 0.012 for the right side; beta = − 0.004, p = 0.025 for the left side). Interestingly, plasma adiponectin levels were not associated with longitudinal ADAS-Cog scores or cortical thickness in the Aβ (−) condition. Plasma leptin levels were not predictive of cognition or cortical thickness regardless of Aβ status. Conclusion Plasma adiponectin can be a potential biomarker for predicting the speed of AD progression in individuals with Aβ (+) MCI.

Abstract
Chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and dementia are increasing in the United States (US) population. Knowledge of these chronic conditions, preventative measures, and proper management tactics is important and critical to preventing disease. The overlap between obesity, diabetes, and dementia is becoming further elucidated. These conditions share a similar origin through the components of increasing age, gender, genetic and epigenetic predispositions, depression, and a high-fat Western diet (WD) that all contribute to the inflammatory state associated with the development of obesity, diabetes, and dementia. This inflammatory state leads to the dysregulation of food intake and insulin resistance. Obesity is often the cornerstone that leads to the development of diabetes and, subsequently, in the case of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), progression to “type 3 diabetes mellitus (T3DM)”. Obesity and depression are closely associated with diabetes. However, dementia can be avoided with lifestyle modifications, by switching to a plant-based diet (e.g., a Mediterranean diet (MD)), and increasing physical activity. Diet and exercise are not the only treatment options. There are several surgical and pharmacological interventions available for prevention. Current and future research within each of these fields is warranted and offers the chance for new treatment options and a better understanding of the pathogenesis of each condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with acute isolated vertigo have a high risk for developing cerebral infarction (CI). Risk stratification for cerebral infarction in patients with acute isolated vertigo is critical for early treatment and preventative therapy. In the present study, we aim to characterize the diagnostic value of serum adiponectin (APN) combined with ABCD2 scoring in determining cerebral infarction risk. METHODS Patients with acute isolated vertigo admitted to the emergency room were recruited. Diagnosis of cerebral infarction was performed using diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) and T2WI and T2Flair imaging. Blood was collected for analysis of APN levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Multivariate analysis was used to analyze diabetes, hypertension, serum APN, and ABCD2 in association with CI. RESULTS Compared to non-CI patients (n = 185), patients with CI (n = 68) demonstrated significantly lower serum APN levels (p < 0.001) and higher ABCD2 score (p < 0.001). A strong negative correlation was found between serum APN levels and ABCD2 scores. Multivariate analysis and ROC analysis suggested that low serum APN and high ABCD2 are strong predictors of CI in patients with acute isolated vertigo. Notably, the combination of APN and ABCD2 had a much stronger predictive sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION Our analysis suggests that the combination of serum APN and ABCD2 analyses offers a significantly improved prediction sensitivity and specificity for CI among patients with acute and isolated vertigo, which supports the potential use of this new marker in clinics.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex age-related neurodegenerative disease, associated with central and peripheral metabolic anomalies, such as impaired glucose utilization and insulin resistance. These observations led to a considerable interest not only in lifestyle-related interventions, but also in repurposing insulin and other anti-diabetic drugs to prevent or treat dementia. Body temperature is the oldest known metabolic readout and mechanisms underlying its maintenance fail in the elderly, when the incidence of AD rises. This raises the possibility that an age-associated thermoregulatory deficit contributes to energy failure underlying AD pathogenesis. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a central role in thermogenesis and maintenance of body temperature. In recent years, the modulation of BAT activity has been increasingly demonstrated to regulate energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization, which could also provide benefits for AD. Here, we review the evidence linking thermoregulation, BAT and insulin-related metabolic defects with AD, and we propose mechanisms through which correcting thermoregulatory impairments could slow the progression and delay the onset of AD.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that aging-related dysfunctions of adipose tissue and metabolic disturbances increase the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MtbS), eventually leading to cognitive impairment and dementia. However, the neuroprotective role of adipocytokines in this process has not been specifically investigated. The present study aims to identify metabolic alterations that may prevent adipocytokines from exerting their neuroprotective action in normal ageing. We hypothesize that neuroprotection may occur under insulin resistance (IR) conditions as long as there are no other metabolic alterations that indirectly impair the action of adipocytokines, such as hyperglycemia. This hypothesis was tested in 239 cognitively normal older adults (149 females) aged 52 to 87 years (67.4 ± 5.9 yr). We assessed whether the homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the presence of different components of MtbS moderated the association of plasma adipocytokines (i.e., adiponectin, leptin and the adiponectin to leptin [Ad/L] ratio) with cognitive functioning and cortical thickness. The results showed that HOMA-IR, circulating triglyceride and glucose levels moderated the neuroprotective effect of adipocytokines. In particular, elevated triglyceride levels reduced the beneficial effect of Ad/L ratio on cognitive functioning in insulin-sensitive individuals; whereas under high IR conditions, it was elevated glucose levels that weakened the association of the Ad/L ratio with cognitive functioning and with cortical thickness of prefrontal regions. Taken together, these findings suggest that the neuroprotective action of adipocytokines is conditioned not only by whether cognitively normal older adults are insulin-sensitive or not, but also by the circulating levels of triglycerides and glucose, respectively.
