Cerebellar degeneration-related antigen 1 (CDR1) was described to be expressed in the nervous system and in different types of cancer tissues. In the present study, we demonstrate that CDR1 is in addition ubiquitously expressed in human epidermis, dermis and isolated skin cells. Both CDR1 mRNA and protein were detected in human skin-derived mast cells, melanocytes, fibroblasts and keratinocytes, suggesting that CDR1 does not have a neuron-specific function.

Roles of CDR2 and CDR2L in Anti-Yo Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration: A Literature Review.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rapidly progressive, immune-mediated syndrome characterized by the degeneration of Purkinje cells, often associated with the presence of antibodies targeting intracellular antigens within these cells. These autoantibodies are implicated in the induction of cytotoxicity, leading to Purkinje cell death, as demonstrated in in vitro models. However, the precise roles of antibodies and T lymphocytes in mediating neuronal injury remain a subject of ongoing research, with T cells appearing to be the main effectors of cerebellar injury.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) relies on the microtubule cytoskeleton for distribution and remodelling of its extended membrane network, but how microtubule-based motors contribute to ER organization remains unclear. Using biochemical and cell-based assays, we identify cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2 (CDR2) and its paralog CDR2-like (CDR2L), onconeural antigens with poorly understood functions, as ER adaptors for cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein). We demonstrate that CDR2 is recruited by the integral ER membrane protein kinectin (KTN1) and that double knockout of CDR2 and CDR2L enhances KTN1-dependent ER sheet stacking, reversal of which by exogenous CDR2 requires its dynein-binding CC1 box motif.

Article Synopsis
- Retinal detachment (RD) leads to serious vision loss due to the separation of the retinal layers and subsequent photoreceptor damage.
- The study highlights that inhibiting circular RNA CDR1as after RD enhances the activity of miR-7, resulting in reduced levels of the harmful protein α-synuclein and less photoreceptor cell death.
- By improving retinal cell health and visual function in a mouse model, the research suggests that targeting CDR1as could offer new strategies for preventing vision loss from retinal detachment.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates cerebellar degeneration-related (CDR) proteins and their involvement in paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by autoimmune responses to tumors, focusing specifically on the CDR2L protein in ovarian cancer.
- - Researchers employed RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry to analyze ovarian cancer cell lines lacking the CDR proteins (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR2L) and identified distinct changes in gene and protein expression linked to the absence of these proteins.
- - The findings revealed that knocking out CDR2L led to disrupted expression of genes related to ribosome function and cell cycle, resulting in decreased cell proliferation, thus offering new insights and
