Use of viral vectors to create animal models for Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. While sporadic in the majority of cases. PD-linked dominant mutations in the a-synuclein and LRRK-2 genes, and recess ...

PARK9-associated ATP13A2 localizes to intracellular acidic vesicles and regulates cation homeostasis and neuronal integrity

Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Klodjan Stafa, Darren Moore, Alzbeta Trancikova, Sarah Catherine Sonnay, Agata Podhajska, David Ramonet Jimenez

Mutations in the ATP13A2 gene (PARK9, OMIM 610513) cause autosomal recessive, juvenile-onset Kufor-Rakeb syndrome and early-onset parkinsonism. ATP13A2 is an uncharacterized protein belonging to the P-5-type ATPase subfamily that is predicted to regulate t ...

Role of the FoxO3a Transcription Factor in alpha-synuclein Induced Neurodegeneration

Emilda Pino

Increased expression of α-synuclein and point mutations in its amino acid sequence play a causative role in familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, circumstances affecting the level of α-synuclein expression significantly increase the risk ...

Nigrostriatal overabundance of alpha-synuclein leads to decreased vesicle density and deficits in dopamine release that correlate with reduced motor activity

Patrick Aebischer, Graham Knott, Marco Cantoni, Ralf Schneggenburger, Özgür Genç, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, Wojciech Janusz Bobela, Safa Mohanna

alpha-Synuclein (alpha-syn) is a presynaptic protein present at most nerve terminals, but its function remains largely unknown. The familial forms of Parkinson's disease associated with multiplications of the alpha-syn gene locus indicate that overabundanc ...
