Catalog
ASAP is committed to accelerating the pace of discovery and informing a path to a cure for Parkinson’s disease through collaboration, research-enabling resources, and data sharing. We’ve created this catalog to showcase the research outputs and tools developed by ASAP-funded programs.

Article
Bile acids and neurological disease
Review: This review focuses on how bile acids are being used in clinical trials to treat neurological diseases due to their central involvement with the gut-liver-brain axis and their physiological and pathophysiological roles in both normal brain function and multiple neurological diseases.

Protocol
Mito and glycolysis stress tests for enteroendocrine cells – Hutu-80
Comparing two cultures of a similar passage number, cell density, time that the cells have been in culture, and time since the medium was changed as all this influences mitochondrial respiration has proven best. Culture cells until they are almost/just confluent. Cell should have been fed recently before use.

Protocol
Measurement of GLP-1 release in cell supernatant from Hutu-80 enteroendocrine cells via ELISA
This was adapted from Cat. # EGLP-35K to optimize the seeding density of the assay based on the cell line used (Hutu 80 enteroendocrine cells RRID: CVCL_1301); moreover, cell line used and media conditions used to characterize GLP-1release. The lowest level of GLP-1 that can be detected by this assay is 2 pM (100ul plasma sample size).

Protocol
Live-cell imaging
Live-cell imaging is a technique to visualize dynamic cellular processes in living biological samples.

Protocol
Indirect Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) – Brightfield
The authors describe the PLA protocol that is routinely used in the laboratory to detect nitrated alpha-synuclein and nitration of mitochondrial enzymes such as SOD2 and the mitochondrial complex 1 subunit NDUFB8.
Teams
Protocol
Immunohistochemistry using paraffin embedded tissue
The protocol works for many other antibodies and the only change necessary for most antibodies is determining the optimal dilution of the primary antibody and the best type of antigen-retrieval to use.

Protocol
Immunofluorescence staining
This protocol describes the immunofluorescence staining of cells.
