Relationship between tumor and very slow Parkinson`s disease progression
Objective: We evaluate the Parkinson`s disease patients with very slow progression. One of their clinical features are the medical history of tumor. Background: Some cancer…Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) -mediated ubiquitination attributed to localization of Mortalin to mitochondria
Objective: The pathogenic mechanism of UCHL1 in PD remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of UCHL1 in the pathogenesis of…A pilot study of plasma ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) as a potential blood-based biomarker in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine plasma levels of UCH-L1 in patients with PD, and to investigate the association with both genetic (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, LRRK2 and…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…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…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…Functional characterisation and the selective vulnerability of SNCA (A30P) patient-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons to ER stress
Objective: To functional characterise and phenotype the genetic Parkinson's disease (PD) patient with an A30P point mutation in SNCA using midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) vs…Three cases of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID)
Objective: Here, we present three NIID cases. One of them, autopsy was performed. Background: Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID)(OMIM 603472) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized…Loss of FBXO7 (PARK15) leads to disturbances in proteasomal function and models parkinsonism-like and pyramidal symptoms in mice
Objective: To model Parkinsonian-pyramidal syndrome (PARK15) in mice and investigate the impact of loss of F-box only protein 7 (FBXO7) in neurons on proteasomal activity.…
