Allele-specific RNA silencing of mutant ataxin-3 mediates neuroprotection in a rat model of Machado-Joseph disease. [PDF]
Recent studies have demonstrated that RNAi is a promising approach for treating autosomal dominant disorders. However, discrimination between wild-type and mutant transcripts is essential, to preserve wild-type expression and function.

Dysregulation of the endocannabinoid signaling system in the cerebellum and brainstem in a transgenic mouse model of spinocerebellar ataxia type-3. [PDF]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type-3 (SCA-3) is a rare disease but it is the most frequent type within the autosomal dominant inherited ataxias. The disease lacks an effective treatment to alleviate major symptoms and to modify disease progression.

Decoding the Oncogenic Role of USP22 Through Pan‐Cancer Genomic and Epigenetic Analysis
ABSTRACT Background Ubiquitin‐specific protease 22, an important catalytic component of the human SAGA (Spt‐Ada‐GcN5 Acetyltransferase) complex, regulates the deubiquitination and methylation of histones, which in turn influences gene expression. Its overexpression alters gene regulation, transcription, cancer progression, and therapy resistance.

Structural insights into the activity and regulation of human Josephin-2
The MJD family of human deubiquitinating enzymes contains four members: Ataxin-3, the ataxin-3-like protein (AT3L), Josephin-1, and Josephin-2. All share a conserved catalytic unit known as the Josephin domain.

Objective A leading cause of death among patients with scleroderma (SSc), interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

Limited effect of chronic valproic acid treatment in a mouse model of Machado-Joseph disease [PDF]
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease, caused by a CAG repeat expansion within the coding region of ATXN3 gene, and which currently lacks effective treatment.
