Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system and is regarded as one of the most common neurologic diseases. Myxobacterial metabolites have been shown to possess a wide range of beneficial physiological effects, including anti-fungal, antibiotic, and anti-tumor activities. We aimed to determine whether myxobacterial metabolites exhibit a potential therapeutic effect...
Mitochondria, being the principal source of cellular energy, are vital for cell life. Yet, ironically, they are also major mediators of cell death, either by necrosis or apoptosis. One means by which these adverse effects occur is through the mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) whereby the inner mitochondrial membrane suddenly becomes excessively permeable to ions and other solutes, resulting...
The 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) model constitutes the best-characterized toxin paradigm for Parkinson's disease, faithfully replicating most of its clinical and pathological hallmarks. Many lines of evidence point to a significant contribution of apoptosis to cell death after application of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP + ) in cell culture or MPTP in vivo. This holds...
