Glial activation colocalizes with structural abnormalities in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVE In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to evaluate brain structural abnormalities in relation to glial activation in the same cohort of participants. METHODS Ten individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 10 matched healthy controls underwent brain imaging using integrated MR/PET and the radioligand [11C]-PBR28. Diagnosis history and clinical assessments including Upp...
متن کاملGlial Cells in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult motor neuron disease characterized by premature death of upper and lower motor neurons. Two percent of ALS cases are caused by the dominant mutations in the gene for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) through a gain of toxic property of mutant protein. Genetic and chimeric mice studies using SOD1 models indicate that non-neuronal cells play important r...
متن کاملIncreased in vivo glial activation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Assessed with [11C]-PBR28
Evidence from human post mortem, in vivo and animal model studies implicates the neuroimmune system and activated microglia in the pathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The study aim was to further evaluate in vivo neuroinflammation in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using [(11)C]-PBR28 positron emission tomography. Ten patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (seven mal...
متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease
Behçet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملUltrastructural mitochondrial abnormalities in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
A large number of neurodegenerative diseases are caused by impairment of mitochondrial function. Mutations in genes that encode proteins responsible for the shape and dynamics of mitochondria have been associated with some genetic neurodegenerative diseases, which implies that mitochondrial shape plays an important role in the health of neurons and muscle. Neurons are highly dependent on mitoch...
