Publications
Regulation of SMN protein stabilityBarrington G Burnett
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Mol Cell Biol 29:1107-15. 2009..Together, our data indicate that SMN protein stability is modulated by complex formation. Promotion of the SMN complex formation may be an important novel therapeutic strategy for SMA...
Expression of expanded polyglutamine targets profilin for degradation and alters actin dynamicsBarrington G Burnett
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Neurobiol Dis 30:365-74. 2008..These results indicate a link between huntingtin and profilin and implicate profilin in Huntington's disease pathogenesis...
Sustained improvement of spinal muscular atrophy mice treated with trichostatin A plus nutritionHeather L Narver
Animal Care Division, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institute of Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
Ann Neurol 64:465-70. 2008..Early spinal muscular atrophy disease detection and treatment initiation combined with aggressive ancillary care may be integral to the optimization of histone deacetylase inhibitor treatment in human patients...
Mitochondrial abnormalities in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophySrikanth Ranganathan
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD, USA
Hum Mol Genet 18:27-42. 2009..These findings indicate possible benefit from mitochondrial therapy for SBMA...
Histone deacetylase inhibition suppresses myogenin-dependent atrogene activation in spinal muscular atrophy miceKatherine V Bricceno
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
Hum Mol Genet 21:4448-59. 2012....
Increasing expression and decreasing degradation of SMN ameliorate the spinal muscular atrophy phenotype in miceDeborah Y Kwon
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA
Hum Mol Genet 20:3667-77. 2011..Moreover, this study indicates that while increasing SMN levels in the central nervous system may help extend survival, peripheral tissues can also be targeted to improve the SMA disease phenotype...
Cowchock syndrome is associated with a mutation in apoptosis-inducing factorCarlo Rinaldi

Neurogenic and myogenic contributions to hereditary motor neuron diseaseKatherine V Bricceno
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
Neurodegener Dis 9:199-209. 2012..Characterizing these contributions helps us to better understand the disease mechanisms and to better target therapeutic intervention...
Akt blocks ligand binding and protects against expanded polyglutamine androgen receptor toxicityIsabella Palazzolo
Neurogenetics Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, 35 Convent Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Hum Mol Genet 16:1593-603. 2007..IGF-1 rescue of AR toxicity is diminished by alanine substitutions at the Akt consensus sites. These results highlight potential targets for therapeutic intervention in SBMA...
