The Role of Nuclear Bodies in Gene Expression and Disease
This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of nuclear bodies in regulating gene expression. The compartmentalization of cellular processes, such as ribosome biogenesis, RNA processing, cellular response to stress, transcription, modification and assembly of spliceosomal snRNPs, histone gene synthesis and nuclear RNA retention, has significant implications for gene regulation. ...
متن کاملAstrocytes in neurodegenerative disease.
Astrocytes contribute to the maintenance of the health and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Thus, it is not surprising that these multifunctional cells have been implicated in the onset and progression of several neurodegenerative diseases. The involvement of astrocytes in the neuropathology of these diseases is likely a consequence of both the loss of normal homeostatic functions ...
متن کاملBioinformatics in Neurodegenerative Disease
The brain response to the original viral insult is a crucial aspect of the pathogenesis of AIDS dementia. The study of host gene expression in HIV-1 associated brain disease will facilitate establishing new paradigms and mechanisms for pathogenesis. HIV with only 9 genes is able to destroy its host with more than 30,000 genes. We used gene chip technology (Affymetrix) of brain tissue from AIDS ...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative Disease Parkinson’s Disease
Oral levodopa remains the most effective symptomatic drug for Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, its long-term use is limited by the emergence of motor fluctuations and involuntary movements, particularly in young-onset patients. A growing number of pre-clinical and clinical studies suggest that non-physiological pulsatile stimulation of striatal dopamine (DA) receptors induced by the use of sh...
متن کاملOrphan nuclear bodies.
Orphan nuclear bodies are defined as nonchromatin nuclear compartments that have been less well studied compared with other well-characterized structures in the nucleus. Nuclear bodies have traditionally been thought of as uniform distinct entities depending on the protein "markers" they contain. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that nuclear bodies enriched in different sets of tra...
