The oxDOPAMINE project investigates the role of oxidized dopamine in the degeneration of midbrain neurons in Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how disruptions in dopamine metabolism and iron balance contribute to neuronal vulnerability and explore potential therapeutic targets.
The identification of numerous genetic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) has highlighted the importance of mitochondrial and lysosomal pathways in disease pathogenesis.
In my recent work, I discovered that oxidized dopamine (DA) and alpha-synuclein serve as key mediators of mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction in midbrain DA neurons that preferentially degenerate in PD.
It has been well established that cytosolic DA oxidizes to reactive quinones and accumulates in neuromelanin in midbrain neu…
