HDAC6 α-tubulin deacetylase: a potential therapeutic target in neurodegenerative diseases.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs), or lysine deacetylases (KDAC), are epigenetic regulators that catalyze the removal of acetyl moieties from the tails of lysine residues of histones and other proteins. To date, eighteen HDAC family members (HDAC1-11 and SIRT1-7) have been identified and grouped into four classes according to their homology to yeast histone deacetylases. HDACs play an important role...
متن کاملAmyloidosis in Retinal Neurodegenerative Diseases
As a part of the central nervous system, the retina may reflect both physiological processes and abnormalities related to pathologies that affect the brain. Amyloidosis due to the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) was initially regarded as a specific and exclusive characteristic of neurodegenerative alterations seen in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. More recently, it was discov...
متن کاملRevisiting Metal Toxicity in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Stroke: Therapeutic Potential
Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a contributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as stroke. Furthermore, the potential interactions between metal toxicity and other commonly associated etiological factors, such as misfolding/aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins...
متن کاملPPARα as Potential Therapeutic Target for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear receptors super family and are ligand-activated transcription factors. They are involved in the regulation of metabolic pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, lipid disorder, hypertension and diabetes [1]. PPARs exist as three subtypes commonly designated as PPARα, PPARΥ, and PPARβ/δ. All PPAR isoforms,...
متن کاملTherapeutic implication of autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases
Autophagy, a catabolic process necessary for the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis, has recently been the focus of numerous human diseases and conditions, such as aging, cancer, development, immunity, longevity, and neurodegeneration. However, the continued presence of autophagy is essential for cell survival and dysfunctional autophagy is thought to speed up the progression of neurodege...
