Transcriptional-Epigenetic Dysregulation Node

Progressive gene expression changes that lock in the pathological state, making neurodegeneration self-sustaining.

Converging Mechanisms

  • CREB-mediated transcriptional changes from NMDA hypofunction (Moosmann)
  • HDAC6 upregulation and chromatin remodeling (Rappoport)
  • miRNA dysregulation (miR-134, let-7) affecting spine stability
  • LINE-1 transposable element reactivation
  • Progressive gene expression changes that lock in pathological state

Key Concept

Once transcriptional programs shift, the disease becomes self-reinforcing at the epigenetic level, independent of the original triggers.

To be populated after CSC grading.
