Parkinson disease - Opis:
- Neurodegenerative diseases are the consequence of progressive brain degeneration caused by the death of nerve cells. Many factors that influence the neurodegeneration development are still not fully known. A lot of studies indicate the contribution of metal ions in this process. Copper, zinc, and iron are trace elements essential for proper functioning of the body. They are part of many enzymes participating in the transmission of the nerve signals, electrons transport, neurotransmitters and nucleic acids synthesis, and oxygen storage. Disorder of metals homeostasis leads to the development of severe diseases and nervous system degenerations. An excess of copper and iron ions causes a significant increase in cellular oxidative stress. Metals catalyze the reactions of free radicals formation that destroy proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. High concentration of copper and iron ions were found in the deposits of amyloidogenic proteins. Amyloid β (Alzheimer disease) and α synuclein (Parkinson disease) have ions binding chain structures. The metal-protein interaction increases oligomerization speed in vitro. A lot of evidence suggests that the disorder of Cu, Zn and Fe homeostasis accelerates the progress of brain neurodegeneration. Human organism contains many metals, which are not needed for the proper functioning of the body, e.g. aluminum. Al binds to nucleic acids causing an increase in cellular oxidative stress and initiating proteins oligomerization. The presence of aluminum is also considered to be disadvantageous for the nervous system. The lack of medicines for neurodegenerative diseases forces us to search for new therapies. The development of degenerations could be slowed down by chelators of toxic metals, but first, these diseases must be better understood. Adverse effects of high concentration of metal ions on brain functioning are not fully known. This knowledge is necessary to find effective drugs.
