There are two main types of AD: familial and sporadic. Familial AD is linked to mutations in amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin-1 (PSEN1), and presenilin-2 (PSEN2). On the other hand, sporadic AD is the more common form of the disease and has genetic, epigenetic, and environmental components that influence disease onset and progression. Investigating the epigenetic mechanisms associated with AD is essential for increasing understanding of pathology and identifying biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. Chemical covalent modifications on DNA and RNA can epigenetically regulate gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and play protective or pathological roles in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.","PeriodicalId":509130,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience","volume":"32 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140656321","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}

Several advances in synaptic research have demonstrated the diversity of synaptic structure and function, which can form thousands of connections depending on the neuronal cell types. Moreover, synapses not only interconnect neurons but also establish connections with glial cells such as astrocytes, which play a key role in the architecture and function of neuronal circuits in the brain. Emerging evidence suggests that dysfunction of synaptic proteins contributes to a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the molecular networks within synapses in various neuronal cell types to gain a deeper understanding of how the nervous system regulates brain function. Recent advances in synaptic proteome approaches, such as fluorescence-activated synaptosome sorting (FASS) and proximity labeling, have allowed for a detailed and spatial analysis of many cell-type-specific synaptic molecules in vivo. In this brief review, we highlight these novel spatial proteomic approaches and discuss the regulation of synaptic formation and function in the brain. This knowledge of molecular networks provides new insight into the understanding of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.","PeriodicalId":509130,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140654080","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}

The proximity of this body fluid to the disease focus, and its corresponding enrichment for tissue specific proteins, renders it an excellent matrix to study underlying molecular mechanisms. Novel proteomic methods accordingly hold large potential for insight into pathologies based on the composition of the AH proteome, including primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Recent mass spectrometry-based studies use novel approaches to tackle the challenges arising from the combination of low available sample volume and protein concentration, thereby increasing proteome coverage. But despite significant improvements in mass spectrometry (MS), a different class of proteomic technologies is poised to majorly impact the analysis of ocular biofluids. Affinity proteomic workflows, having become available commercially recently, have started to complement data obtained by MS and likely will grow into a crucial tool for ophthalmological biomarker research. This review highlights corresponding approaches in proteome analysis of aqueous humor and discusses recent findings on alterations of the AH proteome in POAG.","PeriodicalId":509130,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience","volume":"40 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140665684","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}
