Mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction: implications in neurodegeneration.
For decades mitochondria have been considered static round-shaped organelles in charge of energy production. In contrast, they are highly dynamic cellular components that undergo continuous cycles of fusion and fission influenced, for instance, by oxidative stress, cellular energy requirements, or the cell cycle state. New important functions beyond energy production have been attributed to mit...
متن کاملSphingolipid signaling in yeast: potential implications for understanding disease.
Sphingolipids are essential components of membranes and important for cellular integrity. The main focus of research in the past years has been to demonstrate their role as second messengers. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model for the study of sphingolipids, because the first steps of this metabolic pathway are highly conserved among fungal, plant and the animal kingdoms. ...
متن کاملLoss of Frataxin induces iron toxicity, sphingolipid synthesis, and Pdk1/Mef2 activation, leading to neurodegeneration
Mutations in Frataxin (FXN) cause Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), a recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Previous studies have proposed that loss of FXN causes mitochondrial dysfunction, which triggers elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to the demise of neurons. Here we describe a ROS independent mechanism that contributes to neurodegeneration in fly FXN mutants. We show that loss of...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration in Diabetic Retinopathy: Current Concepts and Therapeutic Implications
3001 The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased significantly in recent decades in China. Recently, it has been reported that the estimated prevalence of DM among a representative sample of Chinese adults was 11.6% and the prevalence of prediabetes was 50.1%.[1] Furthermore, the awareness, treatment, and control rates of DM in the general Chinese population are disproportionately lo...
متن کاملLimelight on alpha-synuclein: pathological and mechanistic implications in neurodegeneration.
The pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders arises in association with the misfolding and accumulation of a wide variety of proteins. Much emphasis has been placed on understanding the nature of these protein accumulations, including their composition, the process by which they are formed and the physiological impact they impose at cellular and, ultimately, organismal levels. Alpha-syn...
