Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Patients with Huntington’s Disease : Show CAG Repeat-Expansion-Associated Phenotypes

TL;DR: The generation and characterization of 14 induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from HD patients and controls reveal CAG-repeat-expansion-associated gene expression patterns that distinguish patient lines from controls, and early onset versus late onset HD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutant Huntingtin Disrupts the Nuclear Pore Complex

TL;DR: This work evaluated the NPC and nucleocytoplasmic transport in multiple models of HD, including mouse and fly models, neurons transfected with mHTT, HD iPSC-derived neurons, and human HD brain regions, and revealed severe mislocalization and aggregation of NUPs and defective nucleocy toplasmi transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

trans-(-)-ε-Viniferin increases mitochondrial sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and protects cells in models of Huntington Disease.

TL;DR: A novel role for mitochondrial SIRT3 is established in HD pathogenesis and a natural product that has potent neuroprotection in HD models is discovered, suggesting that increasing mitochondrial Sirt3 might be considered as a new therapeutic approach to counteract HD.
