PGC-1 alpha activity in nigral dopamine neurons determines vulnerability to alpha-synuclein

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Wojciech Janusz Bobela, Lu Zheng

Introduction: Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are critical factors in the pathogenesis of age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases. PGC-1 alpha, a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular antioxidant defense, has emerged as ...

Photobiomodulation Suppresses Alpha-Synuclein-Induced Toxicity in an AAV-Based Rat Genetic Model of Parkinson's Disease

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Hilal Lashuel, Blaise Lovisa, Abid Oueslati

Converging lines of evidence indicate that near-infrared light treatment, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), may exert beneficial effects and protect against cellular toxicity and degeneration in several animal models of human pathologies, including n ...

alpha-Synuclein-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration in a rat model of Parkinson's disease occurs independent of ATP13A2 (PARK9)

Bernard Schneider, Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Alessandra Musso, Guillaume Daniel

Mutations in the ATP13A2 (PARK9) gene cause early-onset, autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD) and Kufor-Rakeb syndrome. ATP13A2 mRNA is spliced into three distinct isoforms encoding a P5-type ATPase involved in regulating heavy metal transport acro ...

The impact of anxiety and reward-seeking traits on social competition and the role of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system

Laura Lozano Montes

Social hierarchies are established across a range of different taxa in the animal kingdom. Given that hierarchy inequalities are highly present in nowadays society and the health problems that low rank individuals suffer from this, it is surprising that no ...

Conditional expression of Parkinson's disease-related R1441C LRRK2 in midbrain dopaminergic neurons of mice causes nuclear abnormalities without neurodegeneration

Graham Knott, Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene cause late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). The clinical and neurochemical features of LRRK2-linked PD are similar to idiopathic disease although neuropathology is somewhat heter ...

Exploring the pathological interaction between LRRK2 and alpha-synuclein : two key genes implicated in Parkinson's disease

Alessandra Musso

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative movement disorder that affects 1-2% of the general population over the age of 65 and rising to 4-5% over 80 years of age. It is estimated that 6.3 million people worldwide have Parki ...

Parkinson's disease-linked mutations in VPS35 induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration

Bernard Schneider, Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Guillaume Daniel

Mutations in the vacuolar protein sorting 35 homolog (VPS35) gene at the PARK17 locus, encoding a key component of the retromer complex, were recently identified as a new cause of late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we explore the ...
