Direct and Retrograde Transduction of Nigral Neurons with AAV6, 8, and 9 and Intraneuronal Persistence of Viral Particles

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors of serotypes 6, 8, and 9 were characterized as tools for gene delivery to dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra for future gene therapeutic applications in Parkinson's disease. While vectors of all th ...

Dopaminergic Neuronal Loss, Reduced Neurite Complexity and Autophagic Abnormalities in Transgenic Mice Expressing G2019S Mutant LRRK2

Liliane Glauser, Ying Liu, Klodjan Stafa

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene cause late-onset, autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and also contribute to idiopathic PD. LRRK2 mutations represent the most common cause of PD with clinical and neurochemical fe ...

Motor Deficits upon Alpha-Synuclein Expression in the Nigrostriatal System Are Due to a Loss of Dopaminergic Vesicles and Reduced Dopamine Release at an early Stage of Neurodegeneration

Meret Gaugler

Alpha-synuclein is linked to both sporadic and familial forms of Parkinson's disease. The protein represents the major component of Lewy bodies – one of the hallmarks of the disease. Additionally, several point mutations and locus multiplications in the ge ...

Targeted overexpression of the parkin substrate Pael-R in the nigrostriatal system of adult rats to model Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, Julien Dusonchet

Loss of function of parkin, an ubiquitin ligase, is responsible for autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). Parkin-associated endothelin receptor-like receptor (Pael-R) was identified as an authentic substrate of parkin and is thought to accumul ...

Quantification of tremor and bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease using a novel ambulatory monitoring system

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Salarian

An ambulatory system for quantification of tremor and bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is presented. To record movements of the upper extremities, a sensing units which included miniature gyroscopes, has been fixed to each of the fore ...

DJ-1 as a neuroprotective protein in models of Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by the combination of motor symptoms like bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and postural instability. The pathology of PD is related to the degeneration of do ...

Dopaminergic fiber protection and regeneration by Wlds protein and GDNF in rodent models of Parkinson disease

Ali Etemad-Sajadi

Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The resulting failure of the nigrostriatal pathway leads to profound dopamine deficiency, cau ...
