Oxidative stress and loss of Fe-S proteins in Friedreich ataxia induced pluripotent stem cell-derived PSNs can be reversed by restoring FXN expression with a benzamide HDAC inhibitor
2017-11-17
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic suppression of frataxin (FXN) expression caused by the presence of expanded GAA repeats at the FXN locus is the key pathogenic event in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), a recessive neurodegenerative and systemic disease. FXN is involved in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biogenesis in mitochondria, its deficiency causes multiple Fe-S protein deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Primary sen...
