Neurodegenerative Tauopathies Human Disease and Transgenic Mouse Models
syndromes are characterized and increasing attention Prominent filamentous tau inclusions are increasingly is focused on the relationship of different FTDP-17 genorecognized as the hallmark neuropathology of a growing types to the heterogeneous phenotypic manifestations family of neurodegenerative diseases collectively known of these hereditary neurodegenerative tauopathies (Hong as tauopathies...
متن کاملRoles of heat-shock protein 90 in maintaining and facilitating the neurodegenerative phenotype in tauopathies.
Neurodegeneration, a result of multiple dysregulatory events, is a lengthy multistep process manifested by accrual of mutant variants and abnormal expression, posttranslational modification, and processing of certain proteins. Accumulation of these dysregulated processes requires a mechanism that maintains their functional stability and allows the evolution of the neurodegenerative phenotype. I...
متن کاملTransgenic zebrafish as a novel animal model to study tauopathies and other neurodegenerative disorders in vivo.
Our ageing society is confronted with a dramatic increase in patients suffering from tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and others. Typical neuropathological lesions including tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein as well as severe neuronal cell death characterize these disorders. No mechanism-based cures are available at present. Genetically modified...
متن کاملAtypical Protein Kinase C in Neurodegenerative Disease II: PKCI/L in Tauopathies and >-Synucleinopathies
To study the role of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) in neurodegenerative disease, we investigated the distribution of PKCI/L, an aPKC isoform, in a variety of tauopathies and >synucleinopathies. Immunohistochemical study revealed PKCI/L within tau-positive neurofibrillary inclusions in Alzheimer disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and Pick disease (P...
متن کاملModulation of protein-protein interactions as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative tauopathies.
The recognition that malfunction of the microtubule (MT) associated protein tau is likely to play a defining role in the onset and/or progression of a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, has resulted in the initiation of drug discovery programs that target this protein. Tau is an endogenous MT-stabilizing agent that is highly expressed in the axons of neurons. T...
