Journal ArticleDOI
Dopaminergic Loss and Inclusion Body Formation in α-Synuclein Mice: Implications for Neurodegenerative Disorders
Eliezer Masliah,Edward Rockenstein,Isaac Veinbergs,Margaret Mallory,Makoto Hashimoto,Ayako Takeda,Yutaka Sagara,Abbyann Sisk,Lennart Mucke +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that accumulation of wild-type alpha-synuclein may play a causal role in Parkinson's disease and related conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-Amyloid peptides enhance α-synuclein accumulation and neuronal deficits in a transgenic mouse model linking Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease
Eliezer Masliah,Edward Rockenstein,Isaac Veinbergs,Yutaka Sagara,Margaret Mallory,Makoto Hashimoto,Lennart Mucke +6 more
TL;DR: Treatments that block the production or accumulation of β-amyloid peptides could benefit a broader spectrum of disorders than previously anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial association of alpha-synuclein causes oxidative stress.
TL;DR: A pivotal role for mitochondria is suggested in oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by α-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease via mitochondria-related mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurological and Neurodegenerative Alterations in a Transgenic Mouse Model Expressing Human α-Synuclein under Oligodendrocyte Promoter: Implications for Multiple System Atrophy
Clifford W. Shults,Edward Rockenstein,Leslie Crews,Anthony Adame,Michael Mante,Gabriel Larrea,Makoto Hashimoto,David D. Song,Takeshi Iwatsubo,Kyoko Tsuboi,Eliezer Masliah +10 more
TL;DR: The contention that accumulation of α-syn in oligodendrocytes promotes neurodegeneration and recapitulates several of the key functional and neuropathological features of MSA is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress induced morphological microglial activation in the rodent brain: involvement of interleukin-18.
TL;DR: Evidence is reported that physical/emotional stress may induce morphological microglial activation in the brain and this activation is in part mediated by interleukin-18.
