The mitochondrial transcription factor TFAM in neurodegeneration: emerging evidence and mechanisms.

TL;DR: Evaluated potential associations of altered TFAM levels or mtDNA copy number with neurodegeneration, and potential mechanisms by which mtDNA replication, transcription initiation, and TFAM‐mediated endogenous danger signals may impact mitochondrial homeostasis in Alzheimer, Huntington, Parkinson, and other Neurodegenerative diseases are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MPTP model: versatile contributions to the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: In human and subhuman primates, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine produces irreversible clinical, biochemical and neuropathological alterations highly reminiscent of those observed in Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dynamics in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The current data suggests that mitochondrial dynamics may play a role in PD pathogenesis, and a better understanding of mitochondrial dynamics within the neuron may lead to future therapeutic treatments for PD, potentially aimed at some of the earliest pathogenic events.

Selective binding of nuclear alpha-synuclein to the PGC1alpha promoter under conditions of oxidative stress may contribute to losses in mitochondrial function: Implications for Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: The data suggest that nuclear alpha-synuclein localization under conditions of oxidative stress may impact on mitochondrial function in part via the protein's capacity to act as a transcriptional modulator of PGC1alpha.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium and Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: An ongoing, NIH sponsored, Phase 3 clinical trial in North America is testing the ability of one member of the dihydropyridine class (isradipine) to slow PD progression in early stage patients, and the review summarizes the rationale for the trial and outlines some unanswered questions.
