SNCA/PARC 1/

PARC 4

Regulator of dopamine biosynthesis, release and transport; apoptosis suppressor.

The widespread presence of Lewy bodies throughout the brain and cerebral cortex, as well as neuronal destruction in the locus coeruleus (LC) and SN.

Zimprich et al.,

2004 [44]

LRRK2/PARC8

The Roco protein family includes the LRRK2 gene component. It is involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, autophagy and vesicular transport

LRRK2 mutations cause autosomal dominant parkinsonism with pleomorphic pathology.

Vozdek et al.,

2023 [45]

PARC2/ PRKN

Parkin is a 465-amino acid cytosolic E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in proteasome-mediated protein degradation. It damages misfolded and overproduced proteins, as well as ubiquitin. mitophagy regulator.

Absence of Lewy bodies (LBs), apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and neurofibrillaries

Zhu et al., 2017

DJ-1

PARC7

Many tissues and organs, including the brain, contain the DJ-1 protein. This protein acts as a chaperone molecule, preventing cells from oxidative stress. DJ-1 assists in the folding of damaged proteins and the assembly of specific proteins into the correct three-dimensional shape. Required for mitochondrial morphology and function

Lewy body disease (LB)

Rauschendorf et

al., 2017 [20]

PTEN (ROSE1 PARK6)

Role of PTEN in DNA repair in Parkinson’s disease

Since PTEN expression seems to be one of the dominant determinants of neuronal cell death.

Goker-Alpan et al., 2004 [47]

ACS

Glucocerebrosidase

GBA encodes a lysosomal protein that degrades glucocebrosis

Li et al., 2019

[48]

ACSL4

Preferably converts arachidonic acid into acyl-CoA fatty esters, thus playing a key role in ferroptosis

Loss-of-function mutations in ACSL4 deplete lipid peroxidation substrates and increase resistance to ferroptosis

Liu et al., 2022

[49]

LOX

Involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation in ferroptosis Tumor suppressor gene

LOX inhibition significantly suppresses cPLA2-dependent microglial induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO)

Fol et al., 2016

APPLICATION

Regulates synapse formation, neuronal plasticity and iron export

APPsα, TREM2 and IDE, resulting in decreased levels of Aβ

Dar et al., 2023

GPX4

Reduces membrane phospholipid hydroperoxides to suppress ferroptose

lipid hydroperoxides accumulating in GPX4-deficient conditions

ESG

Glutathione biosynthesis

Loss of function of the glutathione synthetase (GSS) gene leads to 5-oxoprolinuria (pyroglutamic acrithemia)

CARTE

Microtubule-associated protein; regulates APP trafficking in neurons

The MAPT gene mutation expressed increased levels of 4R-TAU isoforms
