- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates secondary injury cascades that can reduce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key mediator of synaptic plasticity and repair. Erythropoietin (EPO) has nonhematopoietic neuroprotective effects and may upregulate BDNF, while serum BDNF is a feasible translational pharmacodynamic biomarker. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether repeated intraperitoneal EPO administration increased serum BDNF levels on post-injury day 7 in Wistar rats with experimental TBI. - Source: PubMed

Hasan HasanSuryaningtyas WihastoParenrengi Muhammad ArifinWungu Citrawati Dyah Kencono - Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) are neurodegenerative disorders with marked neuronal dysfunction and damage, accompanied by the accumulation of abnormal alpha-synuclein. Identifying the proteins involved in their specific neurodegenerative processes is important to understand shared or disease-specific mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Recent investigations into these disorders have revealed intriguing alterations in the functionality of neurotrophic factors, including and predominantly the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the BDNF serum levels in two cohorts of DLB and MSA patients and compare them to those of healthy individuals. Investigating serum BDNF concentrations in these conditions may provide insights into aspects of the underlying mechanisms of neurodegeneration. - Source: PubMed

Angelucci FrancescoNedelska ZuzanaImal DanielaJurášová VanesaHort Jakub - Despite advances in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) research, identifying reliable biomarkers and regulatory mechanisms remains challenging. We first identified AIS-related genes via extensive literature review, retrieved dataset GSE16561 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO, https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/), and performed differential/enrichment analyses. Bioinformatics verified N6-methyladenosine (mA) sites in target genes, focusing on the methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14)/growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible β (GADD45B) mA methylation/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) axis. Peripheral blood samples, biochemical indicators, and demographic data were collected from Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical University. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) underwent transfection and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). METTL14, GADD45B, and BDNF were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR); BDNF protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); global RNA mA by Dot Blot; and GADD45B mA by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (MeRIP-RT-qPCR). Differential, diagnostic efficacy, logistic regression analyses, and nomogram validation were conducted. AIS patients showed increased METTL14, decreased GADD45B/BDNF, and increased levels of global mA RNA and GADD45B mA RNA (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis confirmed the three genes' good diagnostic efficacy. The nomogram integrating these genes, globulin (GLOB), diabetes, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and hypertension performed excellently. This study highlights METTL14, GADD45B, and BDNF as key AIS biomarkers; METTL14 may indirectly regulate BDNF via GADD45B mA methylation, providing potential therapeutic targets and novel mechanistic insights. - Source: PubMed

Lai Jin-YingLu Jun-HuaLi Meng-YueLi Bei-BeiJin Bao-YunHao Jiang-JieZhao YingLin YingMa Li-QiuLiu RenZhang Shu-FanGuan Hong-Jun - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein crucial to the survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. BDNF is monitored across many populations as an indicator of one's cardiometabolic disease (CMD) and mental health (MH) risk. Adults living with a traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) are at a higher risk of developing CMD and MH issues, with symptoms often going unrecognized. Establishing serum BDNF as a screening tool within the tSCI population has the potential to improve CMD and MH symptom recognition. - Source: PubMed

Walden Thomas PCleland MatthewTsang PhilemonMain EmiliaCraven B Catharine - Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) associated with early-life stress (ELS) commonly manifests as anxiety and visceral hypersensitivity. However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as a key mediator of ELS-induced changes through the brain-gut axis. - Source: PubMed
