Journal ArticleDOI

Microtubule dysfunction precedes transport impairment and mitochondria damage in MPP+-induced neurodegeneration

TL;DR: In this article, the microtubule (MT) system was found to be significantly deregulated following exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenylpiridinium (MPP) and a reorientation of MTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microtubule Alterations Occur Early in Experimental Parkinsonism and The Microtubule Stabilizer Epothilone D Is Neuroprotective

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of microtubule dysfunction in Parkinson's disease was examined in C57Bl mice and the effect of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was found to precede axonal transport impairment and neurite degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The parkinsonism producing neurotoxin MPP+ affects microtubule dynamics by acting as a destabilising factor.

TL;DR: This paper provides the first evidence that dynamic instability of microtubules is specifically affected by MPP+ and suggests that it could play a role in neuronal cell death underlying Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pleiotropic effects of spastin on neurite growth depending on expression levels

TL;DR: The study reveals that SPG4 is a dosage‐sensitive gene, and broadens the understanding of the role of spastin in neurite growth and MT dynamics, and supports haploinsufficiency as the molecular cause of the disease.
