Journal ArticleDOI
K-ATP channels in dopamine substantia nigra neurons control bursting and novelty-induced exploration
Julia Schiemann,Falk Schlaudraff,Verena Klose,Markus Bingmer,Susumu Seino,Peter J. Magill,Kareem A. Zaghloul,Gaby Schneider,Birgit Liss,Jochen Roeper +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that, in medial DA neurons of the substantia nigra (SN), activity of ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels enabled NMDA-mediated bursting in vitro as well as spontaneous in vivo burst firing in anesthetized mice, suggesting that burst-gating K-atP channel function in DA neurons affects phenotypes in both disease and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated α-synuclein mRNA levels in individual UV-laser-microdissected dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons in idiopathic Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: By combining optimized UV-laser microdissection- and quantitative RT–PCR-techniques with suitable PCR assays, significantly elevated α-synuclein mRNA levels in individual, surviving neuromelanin- and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons from idiopathic PD brains compared to controls are detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
A53T-Alpha-Synuclein Overexpression Impairs Dopamine Signaling and Striatal Synaptic Plasticity in Old Mice
Alexander Kurz,Kay L. Double,Isabel Lastres-Becker,Alessandro Tozzi,Michela Tantucci,Vanessa Bockhart,Michael Bonin,Moisés García-Arencibia,Silke Nuber,Falk Schlaudraff,Birgit Liss,Javier Fernández-Ruiz,Manfred Gerlach,Ullrich Wüllner,Hartmut Lüddens,Paolo Calabresi,Georg Auburger,Suzana Gispert +17 more
TL;DR: The dysfunctional neurotransmission and impaired synaptic plasticity seen in the A53T-SNCA overexpressing mice reflect early changes within the basal ganglia prior to frank neurodegeneration, and may help to develop neuroprotective therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cav1.3 channels control D2-autoreceptor responses via NCS-1 in substantia nigra dopamine neurons
Elena Dragicevic,Christina Poetschke,Johanna Duda,Falk Schlaudraff,Stephan Lammel,Julia Schiemann,Michael Fauler,Andrea Hetzel,Masahiko Watanabe,Rafael Luján,Robert C. Malenka,Joerg Striessnig,Birgit Liss +12 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that L-type calcium channels can modulate D2-autoreceptor responses via the neuronal calcium sensor NCS-1, which is altered in Parkinson’s disease and could represent a therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI
p53 deletion impairs clearance of chromosomal-instable stem cells in aging telomere-dysfunctional mice
Yvonne Begus-Nahrmann,André Lechel,Anna C. Obenauf,Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy,Elvira Peit,Eva M. Hoffmann,Falk Schlaudraff,Birgit Liss,Peter Schirmacher,Hans A. Kestler,Esther Danenberg,Nick Barker,Hans Clevers,Michael R. Speicher,K. Lenhard Rudolph +14 more
TL;DR: Together, these results provide the first experimental evidence for an organ system in which p53-dependent mechanisms prevent tissue destruction in response to telomere dysfunction by depleting genetically instable stem cells.
