Prenatal exposure to infection is a recognized environmental risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders of developmental origins such as autism or schizophrenia. Experimental work in animals indicates that this link mediated by maternal immune activation (MIA) involving interactions between cytokine-associated inflammatory events, oxidative stress, and other pathophysiological processes hypoferremia zinc deficiency. Maternal administration the viral mimic polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic...

Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that drive TDP-43 pathology is integral to combating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Here we generated a longitudinal quantitative proteomic map of cortex from cytoplasmic rNLS8 mouse model ALS FTLD, developed complementary open-access webtool, TDP-map ( https://shiny.rcc.uq.edu.au/TDP-map/ ). We identified distinct protein subsets enriched for diverse biological pathways...

TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is a key feature of over 95% amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and nearly half frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases. The pathogenic mechanisms TDP-43 dysfunction are poorly understood, however, activation cell stress pathways may contribute to pathogenesis. We, therefore, sought identify which components critical for driving disease onset neurodegeneration in ALS FTD. We studied the rNLS8 transgenic mouse model, expresses human with...

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) works as a multi-functional chaperone and is involved in the regulation of many essential cellular pathways. In this study, we have identified full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) HSP90 (FcHSP90) from Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis. FcHSP90 cDNA comprised 2,552 bp, including 2,181-bp open reading frame encoding 726 amino acids. Both homology analyses using alignment with previously phylogeny tree indicated that was cytoplasmic HSP90. Real-time reverse...

Abstract Dysfunction in dopamine (DA) systems is a prominent feature schizophrenia patients and may result from the abnormal development of mesencephalic (mes)DA systems. Maternal immune activation (MIA) developmental vitamin D (DVD)-deficiency both induce schizophrenia-relevant dopaminergic abnormalities adult offspring. In this study, we investigated whether maternal administration hormone (1,25OHD, VIT ) could prevent MIA-induced DA-related behaviors mesDA development. We administrated...

Extra-motor symptoms are increasingly recognised in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), encompassing cognitive, social, and behavioural deficits that can substantially impact quality of life. TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is the central disease marker almost all cases ALS approximately half frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, mechanisms linking TDP-43 with extra-motor TDP-43-associated neurodegenerative diseases remain unresolved. In this study, we used rNLS8 mouse...

The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells as the major chaperone protein. In this study, full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of a novel inducible cytosolic Hsp70 member (FcHsp70) was cloned from Fenneropenaeus chinensis. FcHsp70 cDNA consists 2,511 bp with 1,890-bp open reading frame encoding 629 amino acids. Three signatures, IDLGTTYS, IIDLGGGTFDVSIL, and IVLVGGSTRIPKVQK, were found predicted acid sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that...

Abstract Dopaminergic (DA) dysfunction is a significant feature in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Established developmental risk factors for schizophrenia such as maternal immune activation (MIA) or vitamin D (DVD) deficiency, when modelled animals, reveal differentiation early DA neurons foetal brains delayed suggesting this may be convergent aetiological pathway. Here we have assessed effects prenatal hypoxia, another well-known factor schizophrenia, on developing systems. Pregnant...

Abstract Background The non-coding small RNA tRFs (tRNA-derived fragments) and phasiRNAs (plant-specific) exert important roles in plant growth, development stress resistances. However, whether the respond to hormone abscisic acid (ABA) remain enigma.

Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that drive TDP-43 pathology is integral to combating neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). To address this, we sought determine timeline of proteomic alterations across disease course in proteinopathy. Using longitudinal quantitative proteomics analysis cortex samples from cytoplasmic rNLS8 mouse model ALS FTLD, identified several distinct protein subsets characterized by...
