Pathogenesis of axonal degeneration: parallels between Wallerian degeneration and vincristine neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathies and Wallerian degeneration share a number of pathological features; the most prominent of which is axonal degeneration. We asked whether common pathophysiologic mechanisms are involved in these 2 disorders by directly comparing in vitro models of axonal degeneration after axotomy or exposure to the neurotoxin vincristine. Embryonic rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were allo...
متن کاملAxonal degeneration and neuropathy target esterase.
This brief review summarizes recent observations which suggest a possible mechanism for organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). Neuropathy target esterase (NTE) has been shown to deacylate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). Raised levels of PtdCho are present in the brains of Swiss cheese/NTE mutant Drosophila together with abnormal membrane structures...
متن کاملThe slow Wallerian degeneration gene, WldS, inhibits axonal spheroid pathology in gracile axonal dystrophy mice.
Axonal dystrophy is the hallmark of axon pathology in many neurodegenerative disorders of the CNS, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke. Axons can also form larger swellings, or spheroids, as in multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury. Some spheroids are terminal endbulbs of axon stumps, but swellings may also occur on unbroken axons and their role in axon loss re...

متن کاملAutophagy in axonal degeneration in glaucomatous optic neuropathy
The role of autophagy in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death is still controversial. Several studies focused on RGC body death, although the axonal degeneration pathway in the optic nerve has not been well documented in spite of evidence that the mechanisms of degeneration of neuronal cell bodies and their axons differ. Axonal degeneration of RGCs is a hallmark of glaucoma, and a pattern of local...
