    Insoluble iron deposits often exist as iron oxide nanoparticles in protein aggregates, impaired ferritin, or activated microglia and have been implicated as major causes of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. However, no crucial evidence has been reported to support the therapeutic effects of current iron chelators on the deposition of various molecular forms of insoluble iron. We investigated the therapeutic effect of carbon ion stimulation (CIS) via a transmission beam on insoluble iron deposits, iron inclusion bodies, and the associated biological response in 5xFAD AD mouse brains. Compared with no treatment, CIS dose-dependently induced a 33–60% reduction in the amount of ferrous-containing iron species and associated inclusion bodies in the brains of AD mice. CIS induced considerable neuroinflammation downregulation and, conversely, anti-inflammatory upregulation, which was associated with improved memory and enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis. In conclusion, our results suggest that the effective degradation of insoluble iron deposits in combination with pathogenic inclusion bodies promotes AD-modifying properties and offers a potential CIS treatment option for AD.

     View Summary

    Purpose: Malignant meningiomas are characterized by high recurrence rates and limited therapeutic options beyond surgery and radiation. This study aimed to develop a novel nucleic acid-based therapeutic approach for malignant meningiomas and to evaluate its efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: IOMM-Lee and HKBMM cell lines were used as models of malignant meningioma. Inhibitory effects of hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope (HVJ-E) and microRNA-34a-5p (miR-34a-5p) were assessed using cell viability assays, apoptosis assays, RT-qPCR, and western blotting. Finally, the tumor suppressive effect of HVJ-E encapsulating miR-34a-5p was evaluated using a subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice. Result: HVJ-E significantly reduced viability of malignant meningioma cells. Furthermore, HVJ-E encapsulating miR-34a-5p demonstrated enhanced anti-tumor activity by inducing apoptosis through downregulation of survivin expression. This tumor-suppressive effect was also confirmed in a subcutaneous mouse model. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that HVJ-E encapsulating miR-34a-5p effectively inhibits the growth of malignant meningioma cells both in vitro and in vivo. This novel combination therapy holds promise as a potential treatment strategy for malignant meningiomas.
