Journal ArticleDOI

Allele-selective lowering of mutant HTT protein by HTT–LC3 linker compounds

TL;DR: Compounds that interact with mutant huntingtin and an autophagosomal protein are able to reduce cellular levels of mutant Huntingtin by targeting it for autophagic degradation, demonstrating an approach that may have potential for treating proteopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Facilitate Vesicle Endocytosis by Increasing Presynaptic Calcium Channel Expression at a Central Synapse.

TL;DR: Exposure to ELF-EMF facilitates vesicle endocytosis and synaptic plasticity in a calcium-dependent manner by increasing calcium channel expression at the nerve terminal by directly measuring calcium currents and membrane capacitance at a large mammalian central nervous synapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

4-aminopyridine, a Kv channel antagonist, prevents apoptosis of rat cerebellar granule neurons.

TL;DR: The results suggest that 4-AP has robust neuroprotective effects on apoptotic granule cells, and may modulate the gating properties of IA channels in an anti-apoptotic manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields modulates Na+ currents in rat cerebellar granule cells through increase of AA/PGE2 and EP receptor-mediated cAMP/PKA pathway.

TL;DR: Together, these data demonstrate for the first time that neuronal I Na is significantly increased by ELF-EMF exposure via a cPLA2 AA PGE2 EP receptors PKA signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

cAMP/protein kinase A signalling pathway protects against neuronal apoptosis and is associated with modulation of Kv2.1 in cerebellar granule cells.

TL;DR: The protection against apoptosis via the protein kinase A pathway is associated with a double modulation on IK channel properties and its expression of α‐subunit that is mainly encoded by the Kv2.1 gene.
