The implication of neuroactive steroids in Tourette syndrome pathogenesis: a ... - 0 views

  • The typical onset of TS occurs at 6–7 years of age and is characterized by the appearance of simple, recurrent motor tics, followed by the manifestation of phonic tics after several months [12]. In most children, TS symptoms undergo a progressive exacerbation, which reaches its zenith at the beginning of puberty (11–12 years of age), and is then followed by a gradual remission in the majority of patients
  • 30–40% of TS-affected children retain their symptoms in adulthood
  • Multiple neurotransmitters have been implicated in TS, including dopamine (DA), serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate and γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • female gender may predict greater tic severity in adulthood
  • male gender is a major risk factor for TS (with a male:female prevalence ratio estimated at ~4:1)
  • the typical age of onset coincides with adrenarche (6–7 years old); symptoms increase in severity until the beginning of puberty (12 years old) and then undergo a spontaneous amelioration, which becomes apparent with the end of puberty (at 18–19 years of age)
  • TS is diagnosed later in females than males
  • ample evidence supports the involvement of DAergic dysfunctions in TS
  • a number of clinical observations showed that tics in TS patients could be exacerbated by anabolic androgens
  • steroidogenic enzymes and androgen receptors may serve as putative therapeutic targets for this disorder
  • Unlike males, tic severity is typically increased after puberty in females
  • 26% of females were found to experience exacerbation of tics in the estrogenic phase of the menstrual cycle, and this phenomenon was found to be correlated with increased tic severity at menarche
  • biochemical hallmark of adrenarche is the acquisition of 17,20 lyase activity by cytochrome P450 C17 (CYP17A1)
  • increased synthesis of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, which leads to the growth of axillary and pubic hair as well as enhancement in the oiliness of the skin
  •  
    interesting read on hormones and tourette's.. Proposed that 5 alpha reductase activity is involved in worsening of tics.  This makes sense as Testosterone in men with low T is known to increase dopamine and dopaminergic dysfunction is known to play a role in tourette's;  the clinical presentation of girls vs boys is very different.  The authors of this article propose that 5 alpha reductase activity controls a back door method where by progesterone is converted to androgens.

  • Ivermectin can inactivate the protein kinase PAK1 and blocks the PAK1-dependent growth of human ovarian cancer and NF2 tumor cell lines
  • PAK proteins encoded by the PAK1 gene are critical for cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling.
  • PAK-1 kinase is required for the growth of more than 70% of human cancers such as pancreatic, colon, breast and prostate cancers, and neurofibromatosis
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The p21 activated Kinase PAK1 is implicated in tumor genesis.
  • Inhibiting PAK1 signals induce tumor cell apoptosis (cell death)
  • PAK1 has also been implicated for maintenance of glucose homeostasis in pancreatic beta cells and skeletal muscle
  • Ivermectin induces chloride-dependent membrane hyperpolarization and cell death in leukemia cells (Blood, November 4, 2010, vol.115). The paper states Ivermectin synergizes with chemo agents cytarabine and daunorubicin to induce cell death in leukemia cells.

Niclosamide Suppresses Cancer Cell Growth By Inducing Wnt Co-Receptor LRP6 De... - 0 views

  • Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in embryonic development and can lead to tumor formation when aberrantly activated.
  • Compelling evidence has indicated that there is an abnormal up-regulation of this pathway in tumorigenesis of many types of cancer
  • disruption of Wnt/β-catenin signaling represents a great opportunity to develop novel drugs for cancer chemoprevention and therapy
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Niclosamide (trade name Niclocide) is a teniacide in the antihelmintic family that is especially effective against cestodes, which infects humans. Niclosamide has been FDA approved for such indications and has been used in humans for nearly 50 years
  • We demonstrated for the first time that niclosamide can inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling by inducing LRP6 degradation, and that this activity is closely associated with its antiproliferative and apoptosis inducing activity.
  •  
    Niclosamide, an old anti-parasitic drug, found to inhibit the Wnt/B-catenin pathways so critical to cancer growth.  This triggers apoptosis of the cancer cell.

  • Here, we report on niclosamide as an antileukemic agent with two independent antineoplastic mechanisms: NF-κB pathway inactivation and ROS generation
  • In this report, we validated the inhibitory action of niclosamide against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–induced NF-κB activation in AML cells and identified its mechanism, together with generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as being responsible for induced apoptosis of AML cells
  • NF-κB plays a critical role in inflammation, antiapoptotic responses, and carcinogenesis
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • pharmacologic inhibition of NF-κB was effective in killing AML cells
  • High NF-κB expression is found in primitive human AML blast cells
  • niclosamide inhibited the TNF-induced NF-κB reporter activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner
  • niclosamide inhibiting TNF-induced IKK phosphorylation (Fig. 2A), niclosamide may exert its inhibitory effect at the TAK1 step
  • Pretreatment with niclosamide completely blocked the time- and dose-dependent TNFα-induced alteration of the NF-κB–DNA complex
  • niclosamide inhibited constitutively active NF-κB binding to DNA in U266 cells
  • niclosamide completely abolished the TNFα-induced phosphorylation of IKKα/β and IκBα

Nutrients | Free Full-Text | Vitamin C Status Correlates with Markers of Metabolic and ... - 0 views

  • vitamin C deficiency is the fourth most prevalent nutrient deficiency reported in the United States
  • Hypovitaminosis C (defined as a plasma concentration ≤23 µmol/L)
  • The CHALICE (Canterbury Health, Ageing and Lifecourse) study is a unique New Zealand study comprising a comprehensive database of determinants of health
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • The CHALICE cohort of 404 individuals aged 50 years had an average vitamin C intake of ~110 mg/day, which should provide adequate plasma concentrations [14]. Despite this, a significant proportion of the participants had inadequate plasma vitamin C status
  • inadequate plasma vitamin C concentrations (i.e., <50 µmol/L)
  • adequate plasma levels (i.e., >50 µmol/L)
  • Higher plasma vitamin C status was associated with lower weight, BMI and waist circumference
  • plasma vitamin C was negatively associated with blood triglycerides, HbA1c and insulin, and positively associated with HDL levels.
  • No correlation was found between plasma vitamin C and the two indicators of heart health; blood pressure and cardiovascular risk score.
  • 2.4% of 50-year-olds were deficient in vitamin C (i.e., <11 µmol/L)
  • hypovitaminosis C (i.e., <23 µmol/L)
  • A high proportion (63%) of our participants had inadequate plasma vitamin C concentrations (i.e., <50 µmol/L)
  • The association of low vitamin C with obesity in this study replicates results in the literature [35,40,41,42,43,44], and it is apparent that individuals with higher weight require higher intakes of vitamin C to reach adequate vitamin C status
  • higher plasma vitamin C status is associated with lower circulating levels of blood triglycerides, insulin and HbA1c
  • A role for vitamin C in the prevention or management of diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome has been suggested
  • In this study, we also demonstrate lower levels of mild cognitive impairment in those with high vitamin C status
  • The odds of mild cognitive impairment were twice as high for those below 23 μmol/L plasma vitamin C concentration.
  • Vitamin C is present at very high concentrations in the brain
  • animal models have shown that the brain is the last organ to be depleted of the vitamin during prolonged deficiency
  • A recent animal study has shown that moderate vitamin C deficiency may play a role in accelerating amyloid plaque accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease
  •  
    New study: vitamin C levels correlate with cognitive and metabolic health. What is your vitamin C level? Despite the adequate levels of vitamin C intake, a large % of the individuals had inadequate vitamin C levels which points to a demand issue.  Higher oxidative stress, chronic inflammation... would drive demand for vitamin C higher. Lower vitamin C levels were associated with more metabolic disease, ie. DM, and more cognitive decline.
