MitoQ and Reduced Glutathione Protects Against Dopamine Induced Brain Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Inhibition During Extended In Vitro Incubation: Involvement of Free Radicals and Quinone Products
Objective: To study the impact of MitoQ and GSH against DA induced rat brain mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibition during extended in vitro incubation. Background:…NUBPL mutations cause combined dystonia with bilateral striatal necrosis and cerebellar atrophy
Objective: To elucidate the genetic cause of a distinct combined dystonia syndrome, inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion in a small UK kindred [Figure1A]. Background:…Mitochondrial dysfunction in skin fibroblasts from single heterozygous ATP13A2 (PARK9) mutation carriers
Objective: To investigate the pathogenic effect of single heterozygous mutations in ATP13A2, we determined the function and morphological changes of mitochondria in skin fibroblasts derived…Counteracting PINK1/parkin deficiency by activating alternative mitophagic pathway: a potential therapeutic intervention for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify a new therapeutic target for developing neuroprotective treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD) by improving mitochondrial function through restoration of mitochondrial quality control…Astroglia exert a neuro-protective role in Parkinson’s disease by reducing oxygen stress through dopamine-induced activation of the pentose-phosphate pathway
Objective: Although dopaminergic neurons themselves take up most of the released dopamine (DA), a part of the DA appears to be taken up by astroglia.…Enteric neurons reveal substantial in vivo mitochondrial changes in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Study in vivo mitochondrial and ganglionic morphometrics of enteric neurons in Parkinson's disease. Background: While well established in autopsy studies, the crucial role of…Detailed proteomic analysis of early PD brain highlights altered expression of mitochondrial proteins as an important event in sporadic PD
Objective: To uncover early pathogenic events occurring prior to neuronal loss and Lewy body formation in human PD brain. Background: In PD, pathological changes spread…Heterozygous PINK1 p.G411S mutation increases risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: To investigate the possible disease-association and pathogenic mechanisms of heterozygous PINK1 mutations from a genetic, functional, and structural perspective. Background: It has been postulated…Mitochondrial Hsp90 inhibitor G-TTP triggers PINK1/parkin-dependent mitochondrial quality control
Objective: To characterize the response of cells treated with Gamitrinib-triphenylphosphonium (G-TTP) a mitochondrial targeted inhibitor of the chaperone Hsp90. Background: Upon dissipation of the mitochondrial…Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons as a disease model for X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism
Objective: To elucidate the disease-associated cellular phenotype of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons of patients affected by X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: XDP is…
