Autophagy and Neurodegeneration: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities
Fiona M. Menzies,Angeleen Fleming,Andrea Caricasole,Carla F. Bento,Stephen P. Andrews,Avraham Ashkenazi,Jens Füllgrabe,Anne Jackson,Maria Jimenez Sanchez,Cansu Karabiyik,Floriana Licitra,Ana Lopez Ramirez,Mariana Pavel,Claudia Puri,Maurizio Renna,Thomas Ricketts,Lars Schlotawa,Mariella Vicinanza,Hyeran Won,Ye Zhu,John Skidmore,David C. Rubinsztein +21 more
TL;DR: How autophagy upregulation may be a therapeutic strategy in a wide range of neurodegenerative conditions is described and possible pathways and druggable targets that may be suitable for this objective are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
PICALM modulates autophagy activity and tau accumulation
Kevin Moreau,Angeleen Fleming,Sara Imarisio,Ana Lopez Ramirez,Jacob L. Mercer,Maria Jimenez-Sanchez,Carla F. Bento,Claudia Puri,Eszter Zavodszky,Farah H. Siddiqi,Catherine Lavau,Maureen Betton,Cahir J. O'Kane,Daniel S. Wechsler,David C. Rubinsztein +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that CALM modulates autophagy and alters clearance of tau, a protein which is a known autophagic substrate and which is causatively linked to AD, both in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS-CoV-2 and the possible connection to ERs, ACE2, and RAGE: Focus on susceptibility factors.
Roberta Sessa Stilhano,Angelica Jardim Costa,Michelle Sayuri Nishino,Shahin Shams,Cynthia Silva Bartolomeo,Ana Cristina Breithaupt-Faloppa,Eduardo A. Silva,Ana Lopez Ramirez,Carla Máximo Prado,Rodrigo Portes Ureshino +9 more
TL;DR: The current state of the field regarding SARS‐CoV‐2 research is presented and where research is needed is illuminated to better define the role both estrogen and metabolic comorbidities have in the COVID‐19 disease state, which can be key in screening potential therapeutic options as the search for effective treatments continue.
Journal ArticleDOI
17β-estradiol reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro
Robertha Mariana Rodrigues Lemes,Angelica Jardim Costa,Cynthia Silva Bartolomeo,Taysa Bervian Bassani,Michelle Sayuri Nishino,Gustavo J.S. Pereira,Soraya S. Smaili,Rui M. B. Maciel,Carla Torres Braconi,Edgar Ferreira da Cruz,Ana Lopez Ramirez,Juliana Terzi Maricatto,Luiz Mario Janini,Carla Máximo Prado,Roberta Sessa Stilhano,Rodrigo Portes Ureshino +15 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that estrogen could be a potential therapeutic target promoting cell protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the COVID-19 case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane estrogen receptor ERα activation improves tau clearance via autophagy induction in a tauopathy cell model
Angelica Jardim Costa,Rafaela Brito Oliveira,Patrícia Wachilewski,Michelle Sayuri Nishino,Taysa Bervian Bassani,Roberta Sessa Stilhano,Janete M. Cerutti,Bruno Heidi Nakano Nozima,Catarina S. Porto,Gustavo J.S. Pereira,Ana Lopez Ramirez,Soraya S. Smaili,Rodrigo Portes Ureshino +12 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the autophagy mechanisms involved in neuroprotection induced by 17β-estradiol (E2) in a Tet-On inducible expression tauopathy cell model (EGFP-tau WT or with the P301L mutation, 0N4R isoform).
