Alpha-synuclein and transgenic mouse models

Neurobiology of Disease, 2004
Identified as the cause of some familial forms of Parkinson disease (PD) and as one of the major component of Lewy bodies, alpha-synuclein (α-syn) became the molecular hallmark of several neurodegenerative conditions now designated as synucleinopathies ...

Immobilization of modular peptides on graphene cocktail for differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells to hepatic-like cells

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
In this study, two novel biomimetic modular peptide motifs based on the alpha-2 subunit of type IV collagen (CO4A2) were designed and immobilized on a graphene platform to imitate integrin and heparan sulfate- (HS-) binding proteins.

The association between TIPARP gene polymorphisms rs2665390 and ovarian cancer susceptibility

Gynecologic Oncology Reports, 2023
Background: Ovarian cancer is taken as the most typical malignancy among women and the ninth most typical cancer in Iran. Predictive tools are of great importance as ovarian cancer is usually detected in patients at later stages of the disease.

A Trem2 R47H mouse model without cryptic splicing drives age- and disease-dependent tissue damage and synaptic loss in response to plaques

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
Background The TREM2 R47H variant is one of the strongest genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Unfortunately, many current Trem2 R47H mouse models are associated with cryptic mRNA splicing of the mutant allele that produces a ...

Insights into phenotypic differences between humans and mice with p.T721M and other C-terminal variants of the SLC26A4 gene

Scientific Reports, 2021
Recessive variants of the SLC26A4 gene are an important cause of hereditary hearing impairment. Several transgenic mice with different Slc26a4 variants have been generated. However, none have recapitulated the auditory phenotypes in humans.

QPCTL regulates macrophage and monocyte abundance and inflammatory signatures in the tumor microenvironment

OncoImmunology, 2022
The enzyme glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase-like protein (QPCTL) catalyzes the formation of pyroglutamate residues at the NH2-terminus of proteins, thereby influencing their biological properties.

Inhibition of carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1 is a potential target in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
Glucose metabolism is dysregulated in Parkinson’s disease (PD) causing a shift toward the metabolism of lipids. Carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) regulates the key step in the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids.

Downregulating carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 affects disease progression in the SOD1 G93A mouse model of ALS

Communications Biology, 2021
Trabjerg et al. show that the activity of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT1) and lipid metabolism are associated with the disease progression of the SOD1 G93A mouse model mimicking a motor neuron disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
