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 ...

FOXO3 determines the accumulation of alpha-synuclein and controls the fate of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Juan-Carlos Sarria, Emilda Pino, Lu Zheng

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the selective degeneration of neuronal populations presumably due to pathogenic interactions between aging and predisposing factors such as increased levels of a-synuclein. Here, we genetically modulate the acti ...

The effect of the functional interaction between PGC-1α and Parkin on mitochondrial quality control in Parkinson's disease

Lu Zheng

Although several genetic factors have been directly associated to Parkinsonâ s disease (PD), no single pathway has emerged to explain the etiology of this neurodegenerative disease. To further understand the cause of Parkinsonâ s disease (PD), it is ther ...

Parkin functionally interacts with PGC-1 proportional to to preserve mitochondria and protect dopaminergic neurons

Johan Auwerx, Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Norman Lionel Moullan, Davide D'Amico, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard, Lu Zheng

To understand the cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), it is important to determine the functional interactions between factors linked to the disease. Parkin is associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD, and controls the transcription of PGC-1a, a m ...
