Article Abstract

Brain deposition of transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a feature of neurodegenerative syndromes. We evaluated TDP-43 plasma concentrations in 1058 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a population-based longitudinal cohort. The cohort was 38% male, 11% Black, had a mean age 75 years, and 261 people developed dementia over a mean of 5.5 years of follow up. Median TDP-43 levels were 211.0 pg/mL (IQR: 134.0-341.0 pg/mL). TDP-43 levels were not associated with cross-sectional or longitudinal change in cognitive scores, with plasma AD biomarkers, with brain MRI volumes, with incident dementia, or with demographic characteristics.

HDAC6 and TDP-43 promote autophagy impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Cellular Models and Neuroepigenetics Section, IRCCS Mondino Foundation, Via Mondino 2, 27100 Pavia, Italy.

TDP-43 is known to bind the mRNA of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), influencing its RNA translation. Many studies suggest that HDAC6 participates in the regulation of autophagy, which we found impaired in sporadic ALS (sALS) patients. Aim of this work is to evaluate the interaction between TDP-43 and HDAC6 mRNA and to evaluate the effect of the up- and down-regulation of HDAC6 on autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells.

Background/objectives: Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) represents an autosomal recessive disorder with an incidence rate of 1 in 100,000 live births that belongs to the lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). NPC is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol, in addition to being an autosomal recessive inherited pathology, which belongs to LSDs. It occurs in 95% of cases due to mutations in the NPC1 gene, while 5% of cases are due to mutations in the NPC2 gene.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is still a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder that can be identified clinically and biologically, without a strong set of biomarkers that can adequately measure its fast rate of progression and molecular heterogeneity. In this review, we intend to consolidate the most relevant and timely advances in ALS biomarker discovery, in order to begin to bring molecular, imaging, genetic, and digital areas together for potential integration into a precision medicine approach to ALS. Our goal is to begin to display how several biomarkers in development (e.

Neurodegeneration is increasingly recognized not as a linear trajectory of protein accumulation, but as a multidimensional collapse of biological organization-spanning intracellular signaling, transcriptional identity, proteostatic integrity, organelle communication, and network-level computation. This review intends to synthesize emerging frameworks that reposition neurodegenerative diseases (ND) as progressive breakdowns of interpretive cellular logic, rather than mere terminal consequences of protein aggregation or synaptic attrition. The discussion aims to provide a detailed mapping of how critical signaling pathways-including PI3K-AKT-mTOR, MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and integrated stress response cascades-undergo spatial and temporal disintegration.

Objective: Mutations in TARDBP (encoding TDP-43) are associated with the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and include familial missense mutations where there are a lack of models and mechanisms examining how they are pathogenic.

Methods: In this study, we developed 2 tardbp (Tdp-43) knock-in (KI) zebrafish mutant models encoding the analogous A382T and G348C variants and investigated their degenerative phenotypes.

Results: We show that both models display reduced survival as well as an age-dependent motor phenotype that manifests at 1.
