Gas-Induced Neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
We describe a genetic model for neurodegeneration in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Constitutive activation of the GTP-binding protein Gas induces neurodegeneration. Neuron loss occurs in two phases whereby affected cells undergo a swelling response in young larvae and subsequently die sometime during larval development. Different neural cell types vary greatly in their susceptibility to ...
متن کاملSorbus alnifolia protects dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
CONTEXT The twigs of Sorbus alnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) K. Koch (Rosaceae) have been used to treat neurological disorders as a traditional medicine in Korea. However, there are limited data describing the efficacy of S. alnifolia in Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify the protective effects of the methanol extracts of S. alnifolia (MESA) on the dopaminergic...
متن کاملExposure to Mitochondrial Genotoxins and Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
Neurodegeneration has been correlated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and exposure to environmental toxins, but causation is unclear. We investigated the ability of several known environmental genotoxins and neurotoxins to cause mtDNA damage, mtDNA depletion, and neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans. We found that paraquat, cadmium chloride and aflatoxin B1 caused more mitochondria...
متن کاملNecrotic cell death and neurodegeneration
Necrosis, one of the two main types of cell death, contributes critically in many devastating pathological conditions in human, including stroke, ischemia, trauma and neurodegenerative diseases. However, unlike apoptosis, the molecular mechanisms underlying necrotic cell death and neurodegeneration are poorly understood. Caenorhabditis elegans offers a powerful platform for a thorough and syste...
متن کاملRequirement for endocytosis and intracellular trafficking in C. elegans necrotic neurodegeneration
Supplementary Figures and Legends Figure S1 Time-course analysis of mec-4(d)-induced degeneration in mec-4(d) animals and in double mutants combining mutations in mec-4 and the endocytic genes snt-1 and unc-57 or the kinesin genes unc-116 and unc-104. The number of touch receptor neuron corpses at the indicated developmental stage, per 100 mec-4(d) animals is shown. Error bars denote S.E.M. val...
