Conventional understanding of protein toxicity is that protein toxicity simply reflects the amount of accumulated toxic proteins. For this our challenges done so far against protein toxicity have been based on a simple strategy of reducing the amount of toxic proteins. However, the exact nature of protein toxicity appears to be much more complex than we have conceived, and thus new paradigm for understanding protein toxicity is highly demanded. In this talk, I will present our current efforts to understand exact nature of proteotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases and potential solutions that can effectively control proteotoxicity, named as protein dynamics-based control of proteotoxicity. I will tell you about our recent study unveiling cellular intrinsic mechanisms regulating nucleocytoplasmic transport of TDP-43 in neurons. Method We used Drosophila as a primary model to study intrinsic regulatory mechanisms underlying nucleocytoplasmic transport of TDP-43. We used various experimental techniques, such as genetic analyses, immunohistochemistry, behavioral analyses, neuronal imaging, and FRAP. Results and discussion Dysregulation of protein localization, often observed in various neurodegenerative diseases, impairs functionality of the protein, alters the pool of its interactors, or both, thereby leading to cellular toxicity. TDP-43, one of well-characterized disease-associated proteins in Lou Gehrig’s disease, are known to translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in the disease condition, which is considered as a hallmark of the disease. Thus, unveiling the regulatory mechanism of intracellular localization of TDP-43 is very important to better understand the pathogenesis of Lou Gehrig’s disease. However, still our understanding on the neuronal intrinsic program regulating the intracellular localization of TDP-43 remains mostly unclear. Interestingly, we observed that the intracellular localization of TDP-43 dynamically changes even in normal condition of a specific neuronal cell type, named Drosophila classIV da sensory neurons, along development. We first identified intracellular Ca2+ level to be critical for the translocation of TDP-43 between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Additionally, through fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) imaging analyses, we found that the nuclear entry of TDP-43 is critically controlled by intracellular Ca2+ level. Further genetic analyses identified Calpain and Importin a3 as mediators of Ca2+-dependent control of TDP-43 translocation in classIV da sensory neurons. Finally, by modulating Ca2+-Calpain-Importing a3 pathway, we could significantly modify the locomotive phenotyp","PeriodicalId":38859,"journal":{"name":"Gerontechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48929666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most challenges noted by participants were related to the introduction of a new platform: motivating people to adopt something new and potential staff burden to replace the platform they are currently using. Our research provides key insights pertaining to the potential benefits and concerns of implementing of a video conferencing platform to HCBOs. Our findings informed the design features needed to support delivery of social engagement programs by HCBOs. Furthermore, these insights informed development of a dashboard aimed to help organize and assist with the delivery of social engagement interventions.","PeriodicalId":38859,"journal":{"name":"Gerontechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45576969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
