Numerous pathological changes of subcellular structures are characteristic hallmarks of neurodegeneration. The main research has focused to mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomal networks as well as microtubular system of the cell. The sequence of specific organelle damage during pathogenesis has not been answered yet. Exposition to rotenone is used for simulation of neurodegenerative changes in SH-SY5Y cells, which are widely used for in vitro modelling of Parkinson ́s disease pathogenesis. Intracellular effects were investigated in time points from 0 to 24 h by confocal microscopy and biochemical analyses. Analysis of fluorescent images identified the sensitivity of organelles towards rotenone in this order: microtubular cytoskeleton, mitochondrial network, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomal network. All observed morphological changes of intracellular compartments were identified before alphaS protein accumulation. Therefore, their potential as an early diagnostic marker is of interest. Understanding of subcellular sensitivity in initial stages of neurodegeneration is crucial for designing new approaches and a management of neurodegenerative disorders.

BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a main public health concern worldwide. Despite extensive investigations, the exact mechanisms responsible for MDD have not been identified. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are involved in brain function. Tumour suppressor protein p53 is widely involved in neuronal death in response to different forms of acute insults and neurological disorders. The present study focuses on the possible associations of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of EGF A61G (rs4444903), IGFBP-3 C32G (rs2854746) and TP53 G72C (rs1042522) genes with MDD risk in the Slovak population. METHODS: The present case-control association study was carried out in 111 confirmed MDD patients and 207 healthy subjects. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. RESULTS: Logistic regression analysis showed no association between SNPs of selected genes and MDD risk in the Slovak population. However, the stratification of individuals by gender revealed that males carrying IGFBP-3 G alleles (G32G or GG) had marginally increased risk for developing MDD as compared to CC homozygous males (p=0.09). In women, inverse association was observed between SNP rs1042522 and MDD risk (p=0.04 for recessive model). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest the protective effect of minor allele 72C of TP53 gene towards MDD. The disruption of mechanisms involved in cell survival and death regulation may be involved in pathophysiology of MDD.
