Colonic α-synuclein: A potential diagnostic biomarker in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To validate detection of α-synuclein pathology in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as a diagnostic marker of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: α-synuclein (ASN) deposition in…Reduced lifespan and climbing ability observed in the overexpressing human α-synuclein without heat shock protein CNB115 in Parkinson’s disease drosophila line
Objective: To investigate the neurotoxic role of overexpressing α-synuclein without Heat Shock Protein CNB115 (HSP115) in Parkinson's disease Drosophila line. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is…Histone deacetylase 4 is regulated by microRNA 128 in SH-SY5Y cells of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore the mechanisms and regulating effects of microRNA 128 in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is the second common progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized…Autophagic modulation by rosuvastatin prevent rotenone induced neurotoxicity as an in vitro model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated effects of statin on autophagy markers and evaluated the neuroprotective effect of rosuvastatin from rotenone induced neurotoxicity. Background: Recently, autophagy pathway is…Investigation of mosaicism for copy number variants in PD brain
Objective: To investigate the presence of genetic mosaicism due to somatically acquired copy number variants (CNVs) affecting PD genes in PD brain. Background: The cause…The effects of viral priming on neurotoxin induced neurodegeneration and synapse dysfunction in cell culture models relevant to Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the effects of viral innate immune activation on neurodegeneration and synaptic protein expression in dopaminergic (DA)-like neurons following treatment with Parkinson's disease…The role and underlying mechanisms of BAG3 in regulating autophagy in PC12 cells
Objective: To detect the role of Bcl-2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) in regulating autophagy in PC12 cells and explore the underlying mechanisms of it. Background: Increasing…Oligomeric alpha-synuclein and glucocerebrosidase activity levels in GBA-associated Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate alterations in the phosphorylated, oligomeric alpha-synuclein and GBA activity levels in plasma from patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD), PD patients with…Exploring aging-VMAT2 gene-rotenone interactions in a cell model for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To develop a Parkinson's disease (PD) model based on aging, vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) gene susceptibility and chronic rotenone exposure in SK-N-SH cell,…The unfolded protein response pathway as a possible therapeutic target for the synucleinopathies
Objective: To investigate whether the pharmacological inhibition of unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway would be beneficial in cellular model of synucleinopathies. Background: It has been…
