Protein kinases in neurodegenerative diseases: current understandings and implications for drug discovery
Open accessAbstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) are major health threats for the aging population and their prevalences continue to rise with the increasing of life expectancy. Although progress has been made, there is still a lack of effective cures to date, and an in-depth understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these neurodegenerative diseases is imperative for drug development. Protein phosphorylation, regulated by protein kinases and protein phosphatases, participates in most cellular events, whereas aberrant phosphorylation manifests as a main cause of diseases. As evidenced by pharmacological and pathological studies, protein kinases are proven to be promising therapeutic targets for various diseases, such as cancers, central nervous system disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms of protein phosphatases in pathophysiology have been extensively reviewed, but a systematic summary of the role of protein kinases in the nervous system is lacking. Here, we focus on the involvement of protein kinases in neurodegenerative diseases, by summarizing the current knowledge on the major kinases and related regulatory signal transduction pathways implicated in diseases. We further discuss the role and complexity of kinase–kinase networks in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, illustrate the advances of clinical applications of protein kinase inhibitors or novel kinase-targeted therapeutic strategies (such as antisense oligonucleotides and gene therapy) for effective prevention and early intervention.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress activates GSK3β and CDK5, promoting tau hyperphosphorylation.
“Mechanistically, abnormal localization of APP to mitochondria-associated membranes alters γ-secretase function and enhances Aβ generation [61], while mitochondrial oxidative stress activates kinases such as GSK3β and CDK5, promoting tau hyperphosphorylation [62].”
From Toward a Unified Framework in Molecular Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease: Revisiting the Pathophysiological Hypotheses (2026) · cites this paper as [62]
In the AD section (GSK3β and CDK5 subsections; page unavailable), the paper says these kinases promote tau phosphorylation, including hyperphosphorylation. Figure 5 also describes oxidative stress as a condition that can lead to CDK5 overactivation. The cited passages do not establish the more specific claim that mitochondrial oxidative stress activates both CDK5 and GSK3β; the AD section instead describes GSK3β activity and CDK5 dysfunction as contributing to oxidative stress or mitochondrial dysfunction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
