Abstract

The continuous production and efflux of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species from endogenous and exogenous sources can damage biological molecules and initiate a cascade of events. Mitochondria are pivotal in controlling cell survival and death. Cumulative oxidative stress, disrupted mitochondrial respiration, and mitochondrial damage are related with various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and others. Biochemical cascades of apoptosis are mediated in signaling molecules, including protein kinases and transcription factors. The expressions in the pro-apoptotic signal transduction networks may indeed promote cell death and degeneration in brain cells. The regulation of that protein phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases is emerging as a prerequisite mechanism in the control of the apoptotic cell death program. In this review, we attempt to put forth the evidence for possible mechanistic explanations for involvement of free radicals in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
