• Altered transcriptome-proteome coupling indicates aberrant proteostasis in Parkinson's disease 

      Dick, Fiona; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido Werner; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aberrant proteostasis is thought to be implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but patient-derived evidence is scant. We hypothesized that impaired proteostasis is reflected as altered transcriptome-proteome correlation ...

    • Differential transcript usage in the Parkinson’s disease brain 

      Dick, Fiona; Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Nilsen, Gry Hilde; Dölle, Christian; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Studies of differential gene expression have identified several molecular signatures and pathways associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The role of isoform switches and differential transcript usage (DTU) remains, ...
    • Early Forms of α-Synuclein Pathology Are Associated with Neuronal Complex I Deficiency in the Substantia Nigra of Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease 

      Flønes, Irene Hana; Nyland, Harald Inge; Sandnes, Dagny Ann; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD) is characterized by degeneration of the dopaminergic substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), typically in the presence of Lewy pathology (LP) and mitochondrial respiratory complex I (CI) ...
    • GBA and APOE Impact Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease: A 10-Year Population-Based Study 

      Szwedo, Aleksandra Anna; Dalen, Ingvild; Pedersen, Kenn Freddy; Camacho, Marta; Bäckström, David; Forsgren, Lars; Tzoulis, Charalampos; Winder-Rhodes, Sophie; Hudson, Gavin; Liu, Ganqiang; Scherzer, Clemens R.; Lawson, Rachael A.; Yarnall, Alison J.; Williams-Gray, Caroline H.; Macleod, Angus D.; Counsell, Carl E.; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido Werner; Maple-Grødem, Jodi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background Common genetic variance in apolipoprotein E (APOE), β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA), microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), and α-synuclein (SNCA) has been linked to cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD), ...
    • Genome-wide histone acetylation analysis reveals altered transcriptional regulation in the Parkinson’s disease brain 

      Toker, Lilah; Tran, Gia T.; Sundaresan, Janani; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Alves, Guido; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Nido, Gonzalo S.; Dölle, Christian; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)
      Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, age-related neurodegenerative disorder of largely unknown etiology. PD is strongly associated with mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, which can lead to epigenetic ...
