Mechanisms of molecular mimicry involving the microbiota in neurodegeneration.
The concept of molecular mimicry was established to explain commonalities of structure which developed in response to evolutionary pressures. Most examples of molecular mimicry in medicine have involved homologies of primary protein structure which cause disease. Molecular mimicry can be expanded beyond amino acid sequence to include microRNA and proteomic effects which are either pathogenic or...

متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration Involving the Effect of Environmental Pollutants on Dna Repair Enzymes
Several works suggest that oxidative DNA damage and alterations of DNA repair enzymes in neuronal cells contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal cancer. Cadmium is a common environmental pollutant able to induce oxidative stress leading to the activation of neuronal death pathways and it is also able to inhibit specific DNA repair enzymes of the BER (Base Excision Repa...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive impairment, progressive neurodegeneration and formation of amyloid-beta (Abeta)-containing plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. The neurodegenerative process in AD is initially characterized by synaptic damage accompanied by neuronal loss. In addition, recent evidence suggests that alterations in adult ne...
متن کاملMicroRNAs and Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration
During the last few years microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key mediators of post-transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. MiRNAs targets, identified through gene expression profiling and studies in animal models, depict a scenario where miRNAs are fine-tuning metabolic pathways and genetic networks in both plants and animals. MiRNAs have shown to be differentially express...
