  • Exploring the journey of emodin as a potential neuroprotective agent: Novel therapeutic insights with molecular mechanism of action

    Citation Excerpt :

    Glucocerebrosidase gene mutations, primarily parkin (also known as PRKN or PARK2), PINK1 (also known as PARK6), and DJ-1 (also known as PARK7), can result in modified lysosomal enzymes that hamper the lysosomal-autophagy pathway, and thereby elevate α-synuclein aggregate formation [152]. PRKN and PINK1 are the most commonly mutated gene in PD, and several mutations of these gene have been uncovered [131,153–163]. The third majorly responsible mutation, DJ-1, shares phenotypic features with the previous two, although this mutation is rarer [131,164–167].

  • Mitophagy impairment in neurodegenerative diseases: Pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions

    2021, Mitochondrion
    Citation Excerpt :

    Different studies have further proposed that small fraction of α-syn also resides inside mitochondria and affect the action of complex I enzyme and thus behaves as a significant cause of sporadic PD (Devi et al., 2008; Loeb et al., 2010; Nakamura et al., 2008). In the form of small fibrils, it is suggested to trigger the mitochondrial fragmentation (Kamp et al., 2010; Lücking et al., 1998; Nakamura et al., 2011) and it is evident by distorted mitochondrial morphology and excessive ROS generation in brain of α-syn transgenic mice (Martin et al., 2006). These processes consequently lead to excessive mitophagy causing mitochondrial elimination and neuronal death (Choubey et al., 2011).
