Behavioral defects associated with amygdala and cortical dysfunction in mice with seeded α-synuclein inclusions

Neurobiology of Disease, 2020
Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by motor symptoms such as tremor at rest, bradykinesia, postural instability, and stiffness. In addition to the classical motor defects that define PD, up to 80% of patients experience cognitive changes and psychiatric

AMPK-autophagy-mediated inhibition of microRNA-30a-5p alleviates morphine tolerance via SOCS3-dependent neuroinflammation suppression

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background The development of morphine tolerance is a clinical challenge for managing severe pain. Studies have shown that neuroinflammation is a critical aspect for the development of analgesic tolerance.

Conditional deletion of ROCK2 induces anxiety-like behaviors and alters dendritic spine density and morphology on CA1 pyramidal neurons

Molecular Brain, 2021
Rho-associated kinase isoform 2 (ROCK2) is an attractive drug target for several neurologic disorders. A critical barrier to ROCK2-based research and therapeutics is the lack of a mouse model that enables investigation of ROCK2 with spatial and temporal ...

Pathological α-synuclein recruits LRRK2 expressing pro-inflammatory monocytes to the brain

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2022
Background Leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and SNCA are genetically linked to late-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD). Aggregated α-synuclein pathologically defines PD.

Neuroprotective effects of the immunomodulatory drug FK506 in a model of HIV1-gp120 neurotoxicity. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundHIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) continue to be a common morbidity associated with chronic HIV infection. It has been shown that HIV proteins (e.g., gp120) released from infected microglial/macrophage cells can cause neuronal ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

A manifesto for Alzheimer’s disease drug discovery in the era of disease-modifying therapies

Molecular Neurodegeneration
After decades of disappointment, three disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been approved since 2021. Burgeoning clinical data on these amyloid β-protein (Aβ) targeting drugs validate the amyloid cascade hypothesis as a molecular

Stress granules formation in HEI-OC1 auditory cells and in H4 human neuroglioma cells secondary to cisplatin exposure

Cell Stress
Stress granules (SGs) are highly dynamic micromolecular membraneless condensates that generate in cells subjected to stress. Formed from pools of untranslating messenger ribonucleoproteins (RNP), SGs dynamics constitute vital processes essential for cell

Mossy cell hypertrophy and synaptic changes in the hilus following mild diffuse traumatic brain injury in pigs

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Each year in the USA, over 2.4 million people experience mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can induce long-term neurological deficits.
