Proteinopathy, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction: cross talk in alzheimer’s disease and parkinson’s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are two common neurodegenerative diseases of the elderly people that have devastating effects in terms of morbidity and mortality.

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Transcriptional regulation of the beta-synuclein 5'-promoter metal response element by metal transcription factor-1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The progression of many human neurodegenerative disorders is associated with an accumulation of alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein belongs to the homologous synuclein family, which includes beta-synuclein.

Association between Serum Alpha-Synuclein Levels and Parkinson's Disease Stage

open access: yesGlobal Medical & Health Communication, 2022
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. It is chronically progressive with the main symptoms of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural disturbances.

Clearing extracellular alpha-synuclein from cerebrospinal fluid: A new therapeutic strategy in parkinson’s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This concept article aims to show the rationale of targeting extracellular α-Synuclein (α-Syn) from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a new strategy to remove this protein from the brain in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Misfolding and intracellular aggregation of

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Electron microscopy analysis of alpha-synuclein and LRRK2 transgenic C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityMutations in alpha-synuclein and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been implicated in the cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Intercellular transmission of alpha-synuclein [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
An emerging theme in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the propagation of α-synuclein pathology as the disease progresses. Research involving the injection of preformed α-synuclein fibrils (PFFs) in animal models has recapitulated the pathological spread observed in PD patients.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

The relationship of alpha-synuclein to mitochondrial dynamics and quality control

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Maintenance of mitochondrial health is essential for neuronal survival and relies upon dynamic changes in the mitochondrial network and effective mitochondrial quality control mechanisms including the mitochondrial-derived vesicle pathway and mitophagy ...
