Abstract

Loss-of-function DJ-1 (PARK7) mutations have been linked with a familial form of early onset Parkinson disease. Numerous studies have supported the role of DJ-1 in neuronal survival and function. Our initial studies using DJ-1-deficient neurons indicated that DJ-1 specifically protects the neurons against the damage induced by oxidative injury in multiple neuronal types and degenerative experimental paradigms, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the manner by which oxidative stress-induced death is ameliorated by DJ-1 is not completely clear. We now present data that show the involvement of DJ-1 in modulation of AKT, a major neuronal prosurvival pathway induced upon oxidative stress. We provide evidence that DJ-1 promotes AKT phosphorylation in response to oxidative stress induced by H(2)O(2) in vitro and in vivo following 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) treatment. Moreover, we show that DJ-1 is necessary for normal AKT-mediated protective effects, which can be bypassed by expression of a constitutively active form of AKT. Taken together, these data suggest that DJ-1 is crucial for full activation of AKT upon oxidative injury, which serves as one explanation for the protective effects of DJ-1.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
