Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of placental polypeptide on the Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3)/ Notch signaling pathway in rats with cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian failure (POF), and its effects on ovarian function and oxidative stress. METHODS A POF rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide. Sixty POF rats of the model were randomly assigned to model group, low-dose (1 mg/kg) and high-dose (2 mg/kg) placental polypeptide groups, placental polypeptide plus empty vector group [placental polypeptide (2 mg/kg), empty vector (1 μg)], and placental polypeptide plus RUNX3 silencing group [placental polypeptide (2 mg/kg), RUNX3 small interfering RNA (1 μg)], with 12 rats in each group. Additionally, 12 healthy rats were selected as a control group. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks for all groups. After the final administration, the levels of sex hormones [estradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH)] in rat serum and oxidative stress indicators [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reactive oxygen species (ROS)] in ovarian tissue were measured. The pathology of rat ovarian tissue and apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells were examined; the expression of apoptosis-related proteins [caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)and RUNX3/Notch signaling pathway-related proteins in rat ovarian tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the low and high doses of placental polypeptide groups showed an increase in the number of normal follicles and a marked decrease in the number of atretic follicles, with significant increases in the serum levels of E2 and AMH, the ovarian tissue levels of SOD and CAT, as well as the expression levels of Bcl-2, RUNX3 and Notch1 proteins, and significant decreases in the serum FSH levels, the ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis rate, and the ovarian tissue levels of MDA and ROS, as well as the expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3, caspase-3 and Bax proteins (P<0.05); the changes in the high-dose group were significantly more pronounced (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose placental polypeptide group and the placental polypeptide plus empty vector group, the placental polypeptide plus RUNX3 silencing group showed a decrease in the number of normal follicles and a significant reversal of the above indicators (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Placental polypeptide may alleviate the symptoms of rats with POF by upregulating the RUNX3/Notch signaling pathway, improving sex hormone secretion, oxidative stress, ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis and ovarian function.
