RNA metabolism in neurodegenerative disease
Aging-related neurodegenerative diseases are progressive and fatal neurological diseases that are characterized by irreversible neuron loss and gliosis. With a growing population of aging individuals, there is a pressing need to better understand the basic biology underlying these diseases. Although diverse disease mechanisms have been implicated in neurodegeneration, a common theme of altered ...
متن کاملRectifying RNA splicing errors in hereditary neurodegenerative disease.
The normal pattern of human gene expression requires precise coordination between the transcriptional and RNA processing machineries (1). During and following transcription, nascent RNAs may be modified by 5′-end capping, splicing, and 3′-end cleavage/ polyadenylation to generate the vast repertoire of gene products required for proper gene expression, from embryonic to late adult life. RNA spl...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases.
Endocannabinoids are endogenous lipid mediators contributing to a variety of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological processes primarily through acting on cannabinoid receptors (CB1R and CB2R), which are targets of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the major psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.[1] Although N-arachidonoyl ethanolamide is the first identified endocannabinoid, 2-arachido...
متن کاملIntracellular ribonucleases in RNA metabolism and disease
Ribonucleases are central components of the eukaryotic RNA processing and decay machineries. They participate in processing of stable RNA species and pre-mRNA molecules as well as remove unwanted molecules like: RNA processing by-products and malformed RNA species that are identified by surveillance pathways. Finally, ribonucleases participle in mRNA turnover and regulated mRNA decay pathways. ...
متن کاملSublethal RNA Oxidation as a Mechanism for Neurodegenerative Disease
Although cellular RNA is subjected to the same oxidative insults as DNA and other cellular macromolecules, oxidative damage to RNA has not been a major focus in investigations of the biological consequences of free radical damage. In fact, because it is largely single-stranded and its bases lack the protection of hydrogen bonding and binding by specific proteins, RNA may be more susceptible to ...
