Excessive activation of NMDAR by soluble AβOs triggers disproportionate influx of Ca2+ into neurons, which leads to excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and loss of synapses (Zhao et al. 2004). PubMed:29196815
All these results show that a-syn oligomers are implicated in mitochondrial dysfunction across different models. PubMed:28803412
We treated these neurons with staurosporine, a broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor that induces apoptosis (Budd et al., 2000); rotenone, a complex inhibitor that induces mitochondrial dysfunction (Sherer et al., 2003); and rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway with many downstream effects (Li et al., 2014) PubMed:27594586
Mitochondrial dysfunction is obligatory for SASP production and cellular senescence (Correia-Melo et al., 2016; Hutter et al., 2004) PubMed:30126037
