NAP (davunetide) modifies disease progression in a mouse model of severe neurodegeneration: Protection against impairments in axonal transport

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2013
NAP (davunetide) is a novel neuroprotective compound with mechanism of action that appears to involve microtubule (MT) stabilization and repair. To evaluate, for the first time, the impact of NAP on axonal transport in vivo and to translate it to ...

Axonal Transport as an In Vivo Biomarker for Retinal Neuropathy

open access: yesCells, 2020
We illuminate a possible explanatory pathophysiologic mechanism for retinal cellular neuropathy by means of a novel diagnostic method using ophthalmoscopic imaging and a molecular imaging agent targeted to fast axonal transport.

Axonal transport in dystrophic hamsters

open access: yes, 1981
Axonal transport of [3H]proline, [3H]fucose, and choline acetyltransferase (CAT) was examined in 20-, 50-, and 100-day-old dystrophic and control hamsters.

Loss of AMBRA1 activates MAPK and angiogenesis signaling pathways in melanoma cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Loss of AMBRA1 in melanoma cells activates multiple oncogenic pathways associated with tumor progression. Transcriptomic and protein network analyses revealed that AMBRA1 depletion enhances MAPK/ERK signaling, angiogenesis, TGF‐β/EMT signaling, and Wnt/axon guidance pathways.

A high affinity RIM-binding protein/Aplip1 interaction prevents the formation of ectopic axonal active zones

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Synaptic vesicles (SVs) fuse at active zones (AZs) covered by a protein scaffold, at Drosophila synapses comprised of ELKS family member Bruchpilot (BRP) and RIM-binding protein (RBP).

Synaptic Vesicle Precursors and Lysosomes Are Transported by Different Mechanisms in the Axon of Mammalian Neurons

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: BORC is a multisubunit complex previously shown to promote coupling of mammalian lysosomes and C. elegans synaptic vesicle (SV) precursors (SVPs) to kinesins for anterograde transport of these organelles along microtubule tracks. We attempted to

Common mechanisms underlying axonal transport deficits in neurodegenerative diseases: a mini review

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
Many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are characterized by the accumulation of pathogenic proteins and abnormal localization of organelles. These pathological features may be

Neurofilament phosphoforms: Surrogate markers for axonal injury, degeneration and loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This review on the role of neurofilaments as surrogate markers for axonal degeneration in neurological diseases provides a brief background to protein synthesis, assembly, function and degeneration.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Defects in axonal transport in inherited neuropathies

open access: yes, 2019
: Axonal transport is a highly complex process essential for sustaining proper neuronal functioning. Disturbances can result in an altered neuronal homeostasis, aggregation of cargoes, and ultimately a dying-back degeneration of neurons.
