Aggregation of MBP in chronic demyelination
OBJECTIVES Misfolding of key disease proteins to an insoluble state is associated with most neurodegenerative conditions, such as prion, Parkinson, and Alzheimer's diseases. In this work, and by studying animal models of multiple sclerosis, we asked whether this is also the case for myelin basic protein (MBP) in the late and neurodegenerative phases of demyelinating diseases. METHODS To this ...
متن کاملChronic demyelination-induced seizures.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are three to six times more likely to develop epilepsy compared to the rest of the population. Seizures are more common in patients with early onset or progressive forms of the disease and prognosticate rapid progression to disability and death. Gray matter atrophy, hippocampal lesions, interneuron loss, and elevated juxtacortical lesion burden have been identif...
متن کاملInflammation stimulates remyelination in areas of chronic demyelination.
A major challenge in multiple sclerosis research is to understand the cause or causes of remyelination failure and to devise ways of ameliorating its consequences. This requires appropriate experimental models. Although there are many models of acute demyelination, at present there are few suitable models of chronic demyelination. The taiep rat is a myelin mutant that shows progressive myelin l...
متن کاملComparison of electrodiagnostic criteria for primary demyelination in chronic polyneuropathy.
Three sets of electrodiagnostic criteria for establishing primary demyelination in chronic polyneuropathy are evaluated. Sensitivity is assessed in 70 patients with clinically established chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). The criteria use different abnormal values, one adjusts for the effects of axonal loss, while another relies only on conduction velocity. Howev...
متن کاملToxicity of eosinophil MBP is repressed by intracellular crystallization and promoted by extracellular aggregation.
Eosinophils are white blood cells that function in innate immunity and participate in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. Their secretory granules contain four cytotoxic proteins, including the eosinophil major basic protein (MBP-1). How MBP-1 toxicity is controlled within the eosinophil itself and activated upon extracellular release is unknown. Here we show how ...
