Necrotic 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 کاملCalcium and cell death signaling in neurodegeneration and aging.
Transient increase in cytosolic (Cac2+) and mitochondrial Ca2+ (Ca m2+) are essential elements in the control of many physiological processes. However, sustained increases in Ca c2+ and Ca m2+ may contribute to oxidative stress and cell death. Several events are related to the increase in Ca m2+, including regulation and activation of a number of Ca2+ dependent enzymes, such as phospholipases, ...
متن کاملProblems of cell death in neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's Disease.
Progressive cell loss in specific neuronal populations is a pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, but its mechanisms remain unresolved. Apoptosis or alternative pathways of neuronal death have been discussed in Alzheimer disease (AD) and other disorders. However, DNA fragmentation in human brain as a sign of neuronal injury is too frequent to account for the continuous loss in th...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration: Nicked to Death
Ataxia oculomotor apraxia-1 is a neurological disorder that arises from mutations in the gene encoding the protein aprataxin. A recent study demonstrates that aprataxin is critical for the processing of obstructive DNA termini, suggesting a broader role for DNA single-strand break repair in neurodegenerative disease.
متن کاملNeurodegeneration in Lurcher mice occurs via multiple cell death pathways.
Lurcher (Lc) is a gain-of-function mutation in the delta2 glutamate receptor (GRID2) that results in the cell-autonomous death of cerebellar Purkinje cells in heterozygous lurcher (+/Lc) mice. This in turn triggers the massive loss of afferent granule cells during the first few postnatal weeks. Evidence suggests that the death of Purkinje cells as a direct consequence of GRID2(Lc) activation an...
