6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) induces Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fragmentation in SH-SY5Y cells

TL;DR: Biochemical experiments revealed that 6-OHDA-induced mitochondrial fragmentation is an early event preceding the collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release in SH-SY5Y cells, and demonstrated for the first time an involvement of mitochondrial fragmentation and Drp1 function in 6-ohda-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive Oxygen Species and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activate Bax to Induce Mitochondrial Cytochrome c Release and Apoptosis in Response to Malonate

TL;DR: The data suggest that malonate-induced ROS production and subsequent p38 MAP kinase activation mediates the activation of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein to induce mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and neuronal apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

p53: twenty five years understanding the mechanism of genome protection.

TL;DR: The p53 protein turns twenty five years old in 2017 as mentioned in this paper and is considered a pharmacological target, p53 overexpression induces apoptosis in cancer and its expression blockage protects cells against lethal insults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological Implications of Differential Expression of Mitochondrial-Shaping Proteins in Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: With the bioinformatics approach using the data on the modified proteins in Parkinson’s disease patients, the alteration of mitochondrial-shaping proteins to modifications of crucial cellular pathways affected in this disease are related.
