Proteinaceous intracellular inclusions in neurodegenerative disorders.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by accumulation of "toxic", pathologic proteins in brain cells. Mutations in genes coding these proteins result in conformational disturbances of the protein structure and their accumulation and aggregation manifesting at the level of light microscope as various intracellular inclusions. This paper is an attempt of approach cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders with special attention to mechanisms of protein elimination.

Rapid flow cytometric measurement of protein inclusions and nuclear trafficking
Proteinaceous cytoplasmic inclusions are an indicator of dysfunction in normal cellular proteostasis and a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases. We describe a simple and rapid new flow cytometry-based method to enumerate, characterise and, if desired, physically recover protein inclusions from cells. This technique can analyse and resolve a broad variety of inclusions differing in both s...

We identified p62-immunoreactive inclusions in dendrites of catecholaminergic brainstem projection neurons using antibodies against p62, ubiquitin, α-synuclein, hyperphosphorylated tau, and tyrosine hydroxylase in 100-μm sections through the brainstem dorsal vagal area, locus coeruleus, and substantia nigra of 149 autopsy cases staged for intraneuronal Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease-associ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder, characterized by the selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, and the presence of intracellular insoluble proteinaceous inclusions, known as Lewy Bodies. Although PD etiopathogenesis remains elusive, the leading hypothesis for the death of specific groups of neurons establishes that mitocho...

متن کاملHSP70 interacting protein prevents the accumulation of inclusions in polyglutamine disease1
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are associated with the proteinaceous inclusions that characterise many neurodegenerative diseases. This suggests they may be associated with disease aetiology and/or represents an attempt to remove abnormal protein aggregates. In this study the adenoviral mediated over-expression of HSP70 interacting protein (HIP) alone was shown to significantly reduce inclusion for...
