Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Changes in Plasma Sphingolipid Metabolites Following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass in Women With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Metabolomic Cohort Study. [PDF]
LipidsABSTRACT Although sphingolipids are key players in lipotoxicity and metabolic diseases, their response to bariatric surgery and their relation to metabolic improvement remain unclear. This pilot study investigated plasma sphingolipid remodeling after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and its associations with clinical and biochemical markers of ...

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Variants in GBA1, the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, cause Gaucher disease and confer an increased risk for parkinsonism. Strategies using small molecules can improve the function of glucocerebrosidase in lysosomes. A clear understanding of the mechanism‐of‐action of these compounds will facilitate development of GBA1‐modulating

ORMDL Proteins Turnover via Proteasome and Autophagy Is Cell-Type Dependent and Tied to Ceramide Homeostasis. [PDF]
FASEB JORMDL proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) negatively regulate serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) activity in response to the rate of de novo sphingolipid synthesis. Disruption of ceramide homeostasis by myriocin or fumonisin B1 (FB1) appears to destabilize the ORMDL‐SPT complex, leading to ORMDL degradation as a feedback mechanism.

Plasma Glucosylsphingosine in GBA1 E365K, N409S, and L483P Heterozygous Mutation Carriers
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background GBA1 encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, with key substrates that include glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine. The E365K variant is the most common variant in GBA1 that is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) but is not associated with Gaucher disease.

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), synthesized by the enzyme stearoyl‐coenzyme A desaturase (SCD), impacts on α‐synuclein pathology in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. Objective The objective of this study was to analyze SCD and MUFA‐enriched lipids in the periphery of patients ...

Navigating the cholesterol maze: Key insights on use of statins in neurodegenerative disorders
Neuroprotection, EarlyView.The graphical abstract encapsulates the dual neuroprotective mechanisms of statins in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting both cholesterol‐dependent and cholesterol‐independent pathways. By inhibiting 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG‐CoA) reductase, statins reduce cholesterol synthesis, leading to altered lipid raft structures that ...
