Survivin is involved in promoting cell proliferation and is an inhibitor of apoptosis. Survivin has a critical role in cancer proliferation and neural development. It may have an impact on neural cell proliferative responses following brain injury.

The cytoskeleton consists of three major types of cytosolic fibers: microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments), and intermediate filaments. Tubulins are the microtubule building block and exist as globular dimeric proteins of alpha/beta chains. There are five distinct forms: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon tubulin.

Autophagy is a conserved mechanism whereby cells form double membrane autophagosomes to sequester cytoplasmic components for subsequent destruction by fusion with lysosomes (eukaryotes) or vacuoles (yeast). Targets of autophagy include aging proteins, damaged organelles and invasive pathogens, and the resulting breakdown products can be recycled back to the cytoplasm for re-use under conditions of starvation (1).

ZEB1 (Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that represses T-lymphocyte-specific IL2-gene expression through binding to a small negative regulatory domain within the IL2 transcriptional start site (1).

TLR4 (Toll-like receptor 4) is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family that plays a key role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. Scientists have found that TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans, with a high degree of structural and functional homology.

Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, which involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain and gives rise to tremors, rigidity and slowness of movement. In the majority of cases there is no known cause; however mutations in a number of specific genes have been implicated.

The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family is the largest and most diverse family of membrane transport proteins and, as the name suggests, uses the energy generated by ATP hydrolysis to transport substrates across membranes. Eukaryotic ABC transporters are divided in to full or half transporters, and in to seven sub-families named A through to G (1).

CD45, also known as protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C (PTPRC), was originally known as common leukocyte antigen and is a signal transducer involved in many physiological processes such as growth and differentiation, cancer transformation, and the cell cycle. It is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase that regulates Src kinases in T- and B-cell receptor signal transduction (1).

Desmoglein 3 (DSG3) is a member of the desmoglein (DSG) subfamily. Dsg3 mainly serves as an adhesion component within intercellular desmosome junctions. It is part of the core complex comprising the most prominent cell-cell junctions - the desmosome. Together with the protein desmocollin (DSC), DSG is a key transmembrane adhesion protein that interacts with cadherins of the opposing cell. Homophilic (DSG3-DSG3) as well as heterophilic (DSC3-DSG1) interactions have been documented both in vitro and in vivo.

Alpha-synuclein is an abundant presynaptic protein expressed predominantly in brain, concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals. Alpha-synuclein is deposited as fibrillary aggregates in neurons or glial cells which is a hallmark lesion in a subset of neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (all collectively referred to as synucleinopathies).
