Despite advances in understanding its pathology, ALS diagnosis and treatment remain primarily symptomatic, lacking disease-specific biomarkers. TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) has emerged as a central player in ALS pathogenesis, undergoing pathological alterations including hyperphosphorylation, truncation, and cytoplasmic aggregation. This article reviews the physiological and pathological roles of TDP-43, its potential as a biomarker, and its candidacy as a therapeutic target. Challenges in detecting pathological forms of TDP-43 in biofluids hinder diagnostic advancements, yet recent research provides insights into its potential diagnostic and prognostic value. Moreover, ongoing efforts aim to develop targeted therapies, including genetic and proteostasis-based approaches, to mitigate TDP-43 pathology and its downstream effects. The article also discusses the need for novel animal models and antibodies to distinguish between pathological and physiological forms of TDP-43 for reliable biomarker development. Looking ahead, the article advocates for both linear and horizontal developments in TDP-43 research to advance ALS diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment paradigms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72129,"journal":{"name":"Aging and health research","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both diseases share similarities in affected brain areas, including motor control and social behaviour. In both diseases, PARK2, SHANK3, SLC, RIT2, DRD2, and CD157/BST1 genes are involved by regulating synaptic function and dopamine neurons. Mutations in PARK2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, can lead to dysfunctional mitophagy, causing the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and contributing to neuronal cell death, a hallmark of PD. PARK2 pathway disruptions have also been observed in some individuals with ASD, which are involved in tagging damaged or unwanted proteins for degradation, leading to the accumulation of misfolded or dysfunctional proteins that may contribute to neurodevelopmental abnormalities. PINK1 is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial quality and eliminating dysfunctional ones that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mutations in this gene lead to damaged mitochondria and increased ROS production, contributing to neurodegeneration in dopamine-producing neurons.
