Prion Protein-Specific Antibodies-Development, Modes of Action and Therapeutics Application
Prion diseases or Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) are lethal neurodegenerative disorders involving the misfolding of the host encoded cellular prion protein, PrPC. This physiological form of the protein is expressed throughout the body, and it reaches the highest levels in the central nervous system where the pathology occurs. The conversion into the pathogenic isoform denoted ...
متن کاملIncreased expression of p62/SQSTM1 in prion diseases and its association with pathogenic prion protein
Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the aggregation of abnormally folded prion protein (PrP(Sc)). In this study, we focused on the mechanism of clearance of PrP(Sc), which remains unclear. p62 is a cytosolic protein known to mediate both the formation and degradation of aggregates of abnormal proteins. The levels of p62 protein increased in prion-infected brains and ...
متن کاملDisease-related prion protein forms aggresomes in neuronal cells leading to caspase activation and apoptosis.
The molecular basis for neuronal death in prion disease is not established, but putative pathogenic roles for both disease-related prion protein (PrP(Sc)) and accumulated cytosolic PrP(C) have been proposed. Here we report that only prion-infected neuronal cells become apoptotic after mild inhibition of the proteasome, and this is strictly dependent upon sustained propagation of PrP(Sc). Wherea...
متن کاملAnti-PrP antibodies block PrPSc replication in prion-infected cell cultures by accelerating PrPC degradation.
The use of anti-PrP antibodies represents one of the most promising strategies for the treatment of prion diseases. In the present study, we screened various anti-PrP antibodies with the aim of identifying those that would block PrP(Sc) replication in prion-infected cell culture. Two antibodies, SAF34 recognizing the flexible octarepeats region on HuPrP protein, and SAF61 directed against PrP a...
متن کاملPrion replication elicits cytopathic changes in differentiated neurosphere cultures.
The molecular mechanisms of prion-induced cytotoxicity remain largely obscure. Currently, only a few cell culture models have exhibited the cytopathic changes associated with prion infection. In this study, we introduced a cell culture model based on differentiated neurosphere cultures isolated from the brains of neonatal prion protein (PrP)-null mice and transgenic mice expressing murine PrP (...
