Genetic Factors in Parkinson’s Disease and Potential Therapeutic Targets
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative movement disorder caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Recent human genetic studies have identified five genes that are linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD): α-synuclein, parkin, UCH-L1, DJ-1 and NR4A2. Among these genes, a variety of mutations in the human parkin locus have been found in many PD cases, both familial and sporadic...
متن کاملGenetic determinants and potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States, carrying a 5-year survival rate of approximately 5%, which is the poorest prognosis of any solid tumor type. Given the dismal prognosis associated with PDAC, a more thorough understanding of risk factors and genetic predisposition has important implications not only f...
متن کاملP 115: Potential Therapeutic Targets Related to Neuroinflammation in Treatment and Prevention of Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with others and using language. In the last four decades many studies have shown that immune responses in different regions of brain play an important role in ASD pathogenicity. A conservative estimate based on the research suggests tha...
متن کاملFOXO Transcription Factors as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Neuroblastoma
The hallmark of cancer cells is deregulated growth, inhibition of differentiation, and delay or blockage of programmed cell death. Tumor cells that are independent of extraand/or intracellular regulatory mechanisms due to mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors acquire the ability of uncontrolled proliferation and invasion into other tissues. FOXO (FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, FOXO6) transcr...
متن کاملStem cells as potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory bowel disease.
The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are rising. According to some estimates >1 million new cases of IBD arise in the United States annually. The conventional therapies available for IBD range from anti-inflammatory drugs to immunosuppressive agents, but these therapies generally fail to achieve satisfac...
