iPLA2β loss leads to age-related cognitive decline and neuroinflammation by disrupting neuronal mitophagy.
Article in Journal of neuroinflammation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDuring brain aging, disturbances in neuronal phospholipid metabolism result in impaired cognitive function and dysregulation of neurological processes. Mutations in iPLA2β are associated with neurodegenerative conditions that significantly impact brain phospholipids. iPLA2β deficiency exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal mitochondrial accumulation. We hypothesized that iPLA2β contributes to age-related cognitive decline by disrupting neuronal mitophagy. METHODOLOGY: We used aged wild-type (WT) mice and iPLA2β
resultsOur findings revealed a significant reduction in iPLA2β levels in the prefrontal cortex of aged brains. Notably, iPLA2β-deficient mice exhibited impaired learning and memory. Loss of iPLA2β in the PFC of aged mice led to increased levels of chemokines and inflammatory cytokines. This damage was associated with altered mitochondrial morphology, reduced ATP levels due to dysregulation of the parkin-independent mitophagy pathway, and changes in the mitochondrial phospholipid profile. AAV-mediated overexpression of iPLA2β alleviated age-related parkin-independent mitophagy pathway dysregulation in primary neurons and the PFC of aged mice, reduced inflammation, and improved cognitive function.
conclusionsOur study suggests that age-related iPLA2β loss in the PFC leads to cognitive decline through the disruption of mitophagy. These findings highlight the potential of targeting iPLA2β to ameliorate age-related neurocognitive disorders.
