Disruption of hippocampal upstream regulators of mTOR and insulin pathways in Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology: Preliminary observations
It is hypothesized that upstream alterations in these two pathways contribute to hippocampal dysfunction in DS‐AD.
Abstract
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by a complete or partial trisomy of chromosome 21, resulting in variable intellectual disabilities and a high risk for early‐onset Alzheimer's disease (DS‐AD). Dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin (INS) signaling pathways has been reported in DS. We hypothesized that upstream alterations in these two pathways contribute to hippocampal dysfunction in DS‐AD.
Dysfunctional microRNAs and GABAergic interneurons are features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The role of neuronal microRNA155 (miR155), elevated in both AD and Down syndrome (DS), remains unknown.
This review sought to integrate disease‐specific causative triggers with shared pathogenic pathways, focusing on neuroinflammatory signaling, oxidative imbalance, mitochondrial impairment, and disrupted protein homeostasis, in order to support multi‐target, disease‐modifying therapeutic strategies.

Functional brain network alterations associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, including amyloid beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (p‐tau), are difficult to interpret due to overlapping aging‐associated and non‐amyloid biological processes.

Given the neuroprotective properties of Vitamin D3 and resveratrol, this study examined whether their combined administration could modulate Sirt1 and Lingo‐1 expression and attenuate neurodegeneration in a 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA) model of PD.
