Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) in mitochondria has nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacetylase activity. As such, SIRT3 is crucial in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Advanced proteomics and transcriptomics studies have revealed that SIRT3 expression becomes altered when the heart or brain is affected by external stimuli or disease, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting from a mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene and characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric disturbances. Currently, no disease-modifying treatments are available. Recent research has developed therapeutic agents that may have the potential to directly target the disease pathology, such as gene silencing or clearing the mutant protein.

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant condition causing severe neurodegeneration in the striatum and the entorhinal cortex (EC). An epigenome wide association study of DNA methylation in HD by our group, identified potential hypomethylation at the PTGDS gene in the striatum. We aimed to validate this result through pyrosequencing, examining the locus in fine detail, and to assess the signal specificity by profiling multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder phenotypically manifested by motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms (Novak and Tabrizi, 2011). These patients are also characterized by vigilance abnormalities. This has been demonstrated by electrophysiological measures (Wiegand et al.

Background: Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are both neurodegenerative conditions involving the basal ganglia area of the brain. Both conditions can cause symptoms that affect movement. Cognitive decline or dementia can also occur in both.
