BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a key neurotrophin (a type of growth factor) involved in brain health, and its role in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has been extensively studied.
-AD patients often have lower BDNF levels in key brain regions, such as the hippocampus and cortex.
-This reduction correlates with cognitive decline and brain atrophy.
-BDNF normally protects neurons from Aβ toxicity
-Exercise and cognitive training have been shown to boost BDNF levels and may slow cognitive decline.
- natural compounds (like curcumin or flavonoids) may also upregulate BDNF.

6506- BCP,    Multi-Target Protective Effects of β-Caryophyllene (BCP) at the Intersection of Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration
- vitro+vivo, Nor, HMC3
*neuroP↑, BCP significantly protected human microglial HMC3 cells from Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity, reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) while enhancing IL-10 secretion.
*NF-kB↓, reduced activation of the NF-κB pathway, which emerged as a central mediator of BCP action
*SIRT1↑, BCP restored the expression of SIRT1, PGC-1α, and BDNF, indicating the involvement of neurotrophic pathways.
*PGC-1α↓, BCP effectively counteracted this downregulation and markedly increased the expression of all three genes
*BDNF↓,
*TNF-α↓, BCP was able to suppress Aβ-induced release of TNFα and IL-6, while increasing the secretion of anti-inflammatory IL-10, indicating an anti-inflammatory response.

*Casp3↓,
*lipid-P↓, caffeic acid (50 mg/kg/day) improved cognitive functions and inhibited lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide formation in the brain
*AChE↓, Caffeic acid (12 μg/mL) inhibited acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activity in the brain of untreated rats in vitro
*BChE↓,
*GSK‐3β↓, improves cognitive functions, probably by inhibiting NF-κB and GSK3β signaling and acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activity (
*5LO↓, we consider the inhibitory effect of caffeic acid on 5-lipoxygenase as another factor in protecting the brain against damage
*BDNF↓, Caffeic acid also increased the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in stressed mice; the effect was mediated by 5-lipoxygenase inhibition
VEGF↓, the primary way how caffeic acid affects hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro is inhibiting VEGF expression
HSP70/HSPA5↓, affeic acid (20 μM) also decreased the expression of mortalin(mitochondrial 70 kDa heat shock protein),

ROS↑, However, at higher concentrations, emodin significantly increased ROS generation and reduced cell viability.
Slug↓, expression levels of Slug (a transcription factor) were also suppressed with emodin treatment.
EMT↓, results suggested that emodin suppressed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cancer cells through the ILK/GSK-3β/Slug signaling pathway
Glycolysis↓, In addition, emodin inhibited glycolysis via ROS-induced inactivation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
ChemoSen↑, The study by Peng et al. [130] also showed chemosensitizing effects of emodin to cisplatin in A549 (2–20 µM, for 48 h) and H460 (0.5–10 µM) non-small cell lung cancer cells.
P-gp↓, The sensitization mechanism was mediated by the inhibition of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a drug-resistant protein related to the efflux pump mechanism.
Ki-67↓, The significant reduction of Ki-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein levels supported the antiproliferative effect of emodin in animal models.
PCNA↓,
ER Stress↑, findings suggested that emodin exerts its apoptotic effects in a process mediated by ER stress and the activation of the TRIB3/NF-κB pathway in lung cancer cells.
TRIB3↑,

TumMeta↑, Emodin (40 mg/kg for 7 days) significantly decreased the metastatic recurrence of breast cancer after surgery in the lungs by reducing the formation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell (CSC).
*Imm↓, emodin may be developed as an immunosuppressive agent in case of immune activation, autoimmune disorders even in organ transplantation
*toxicity↝, An excess of emodin due to its laxative effects causes intestinal pain and severe diarrhea with subsequent electrolyte imbalance and dehydration [157]. Therefore, treatment should begin when symptoms appear, with special attention to electrolyte leve
