All-<b><i>trans</i></b>-Retinoic Acid Modulates Nitric Oxide and Interleukin-17A Production by Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract: Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia in the elderly, is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with a complex pathophysiology. It is accepted that inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of AD. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) is a bioactive derivative of vitamin A that has shown immunomodulatory effects in many immune disorders. Objectives: In our study, we aimed to investigate in vitro immunomodulatory effects of ATRA on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression … Show more

“…Our study also showed an increase expression of IL-17 in AD patients compared to controls, and this is in agreement with other studies [38,39]. IL-17 physiologically acts as cross-talk between the immune system and hematopoiesis.…”

“…Although our results suggest a relation with AD, its role in AD has not well been investigated. Some studies have shown that this cytokine could modulate the release of nitric oxide, a neurotoxic agent [39,42]. …”

“…atRA administration prevents LPS-induced neuroinflammation, NO production, amyloidogenesis, and memory impairment in aged rats [ 150 ]. PBMCs from patients with AD in cultures with atRA showed downregulated spontaneous NO production and iNOS expression, which was associated with a reduction in IL-17A production and increased IL-10 release [ 151 ].…”

“…In our previous studies, we reported that AtRA inhibited the NO production in proinflammatory cytokines stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and monocytes from IBD and Alzheimer disease patients [11, 39]. Furthermore, retinoids are known to affect signaling pathways frequently altered which result in the development and progression of CRC [32].…”
