TL;DR

It is demonstrated that S-nitrosylation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway sustains pathological neuroinflammation in AD, identifying a promising therapeutic target for this devastating disease.

Abstract

Neuroinflammation is a major secondary driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Carnevale et al.1 demonstrate that S-nitrosylation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway sustains pathological neuroinflammation in AD, identifying a promising therapeutic target for this devastating disease.

A variety of evidence now supports two interrelated hypotheses concerning Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neurofibrillary pathology (NFT), its prevention and treatment. The first hypothesis: the receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase D (PTPRD) plays a key role in AD NFT pathogenesis by modulating activities of neuronal gl...

The role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation

Neuroinflammation is currently considered the most advanced and comprehensive concept that explains the pathogenesis of a wide range of neurological diseases, from Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis to depression and cognitive impairments. In this context, the role of oxidative stress in initiating and maintain...

Transcriptional modulation of β-Secretase ameliorates amyloid pathology and cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease models

its pleiotropic pharmacology, CHX should be regarded here as a nonselective pharmacological probe rather than a repurposing-ready AD therapeutic. That said, the effect does not appear to be simply broad, nonspeci fi c suppression. Components of the γ -secretase complex were unchanged by CHX, and the reduction in gliosis...
