Suicidality in Huntington's disease

open access: yesJournal of Affective Disorders, 2012
In Huntington's disease (HD) the risk of suicide is increased. Since suicidality may precede suicide, this study investigates prevalence, clinical associations and predictors of suicidality in HD.Suicidality was investigated in 152 mutation carriers and 56 non-carriers, and was considered present if the score on the item 'suicidal ideation' of the ...

SENP6 Maintains Mitochondrial Homeostasis by Regulating Mitochondrial Protein Import Through deSUMOylation of TOM40

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SUMOylation regulates mitochondrial processes, but its impact on protein import remains unclear. TOM40 is identified, a mitochondrial outer membrane channel protein, as a substrate of deSUMOylase SENP6. TOM40 SUMOylation disrupts outer membrane complex assembly, inhibits protein import, and compromises mitochondrial homeostasis.

Alpha-Pinene Effect on Passive Avoidance Memory and CDK5 Gene Expression in the Rat Model of Huntington\'s Disease Induced by 3-Nitropropionic Acid [PDF]

open access: yesمجله علمی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کردستان
Background and Aim: Huntington's disease is a chronic hereditary disorder that causes cognitive and movement defects in affected individuals by progressive destruction of neurons in the cerebral cortex, striatum and the hippocampus.

The differential diagnosis of chorea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Chorea is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterised by excessive spontaneous movements that are irregularly timed, randomly distributed and abrupt. In this article, the authors discuss the causes of chorea, particularly Huntington's disease and the ...

Activation of Spinal Astrocyte α2A Adrenoceptors Protects Against Sepsis‐Induced Heart Injury Through Inhibition of GABAergic Neuronal Necroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study in this paper found that activating the α2A receptors of astrocytes in the thoracic spinal cord can reduce the release of inflammatory factors, thereby decreasing the necroptosis of GABAergic neurons and consequently alleviating myocardial injury caused by sepsis.

MSH3 modifies somatic instability and disease severity in Huntington’s and myotonic dystrophy type 1

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2019
A genome-wide association study recently identified an MSH3/DHFR locus associated with Huntington’s disease progression. Flower, Lomeikaite et al. identify tandem repeat variants at this locus, and show that a three-repeat allele is associated with ...

Mitochondria in Huntington's disease

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2010
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with involuntary abnormal movements (chorea), cognitive deficits and psychiatric disturbances. The disease is caused by an abnormal expansion of a CAG repeat located in exon 1 of the gene encoding the huntingtin protein (Htt) that confers a toxic function to the

m6A Methylation‐Induced Autophagy Impairment by TFEB Regulation in SOD1‐G93A ALS Cell Model

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the role of m6A RNA methylation in regulating transcription factor EB (TFEB) and its contribution to mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS cell models were used to analyse mitophagy markers and TFEB expression under METTL3 and TFEB modulation, using RT‐qPCR, Western blot ...
