Clioquinol-induced ordered conformational behavior in alpha-synuclein: promising relevance for therapeutic approach to Parkinson's disease
Parkinson?¦s disease (PD) is a devastating and an intricate complex neurological disorder that results from the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in Substantia nigra that controls movement. The pathological hallmark of PD is the formation of insoluble protein aggregates known as lewey bodies. Alpha-synuclein is the major constituent of these fibrillar structures. Alpha-synuclein a 140 ami...

متن کاملGut Microbiota Dysfunction as Reliable Non-invasive Early Diagnostic Biomarkers in the Pathophysiology of Parkinson’s Disease: A Critical Review
Recent investigations suggest that gut microbiota affects the brain activity through the microbiota-gut-brain axis under both physiological and pathological disease conditions like Parkinson's disease. Further dopamine synthesis in the brain is induced by dopamine producing enzymes that are controlled by gut microbiota via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Also alpha synuclein deposition and the a...
متن کاملColonic Biopsies to Assess the Neuropathology of Parkinson's Disease and Its Relationship with Symptoms
BACKGROUND The presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites (LN) has been demonstrated in the enteric nervous system (ENS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The aims of the present research were to use routine colonoscopy biopsies (1) to analyze, in depth, enteric pathology throughout the colonic submucosal plexus (SMP), and (2) to correlate the pathological burden with neurological and gastro...
متن کاملα-Synuclein overexpressing transgenic mice show internal organ pathology and autonomic deficits.
While studying transgenic mice that overexpress human wildtype alpha-synuclein (Thy1-ASO, ASO) for typical brain alpha-synucleinopathy and central nervous system neuropathology, we observed progressive functional changes in the gastrointestinal and other peripheral organs. A more systematic study revealed that the gastrointestinal tract in ASO mice showed severe distension and blockage of the l...
