Despite significant advancements in achieving high recanalization rates (80%-90%) for large vessel occlusions through mechanical thrombectomy, the issue of "futile recanalization" remains a major clinical challenge. Futile recanalization occurs when over half of patients fail to experience expected symptom improvement after vessel recanalization, often resulting in severe functional impairment or death. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been attributed to inadequate blood flow and reperfusion injury.

Impact of LITAF on Mitophagy and Neuronal Damage in Epilepsy via MCL-1 Ubiquitination.

CNS Neurosci Ther

January 2025

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Guangzhou First People's Hospital, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the E3 ubiquitin ligase LITAF influences mitochondrial autophagy by modulating MCL-1 ubiquitination, and its role in the development of epilepsy.

Methods: Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze brain tissue from epilepsy patients, along with high-throughput transcriptomics, we identified changes in gene expression. This was complemented by in vivo and in vitro experiments, including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, western blotting, and behavioral assessments in mouse models.

Post-transcriptional regulation of the transcriptional apparatus in neuronal development.

Front Mol Neurosci

December 2024

Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Post-transcriptional mechanisms, such as alternative splicing and polyadenylation, are recognized as critical regulatory processes that increase transcriptomic and proteomic diversity. The advent of next-generation sequencing and whole-genome analyses has revealed that numerous transcription and epigenetic regulators, including transcription factors and histone-modifying enzymes, undergo alternative splicing, most notably in the nervous system. Given the complexity of regulatory processes in the brain, it is conceivable that many of these splice variants control different aspects of neuronal development.

This study aimed to evaluate different combinations of three dietary supplements for potential additive or synergistic effects in an Parkinson's Disease model. The complex and diverse processes leading to neurodegeneration in each patient with a neurodegenerative disorder cannot be effectively addressed by a single medication. Instead, various combinations of potentially neuroprotective agents targeting different disease mechanisms simultaneously may show improved additive or synergistic efficacy in slowing the disease progression and allowing the agents to be utilized at lower doses to minimize side effects.

Zinc (Zn) is one of the most prevalent and essential micronutrients, found in 10% of all human proteins and involved in numerous cellular enzymatic pathways. Zn is important in the neonatal brain, due to its involvement in neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and neural signaling. It acts as a neuronal modulator and is highly concentrated in certain brain regions, such as the hippocampus, and the retina.
