Neuroprotection of Anakinra on peripheral nerve neurodegeneration in single and combination protocols with TTR siRNA in a transgenic mouse model for human V30M transthyretin

چکیده
Background We previously showed the properties of interleukin-1b antagonist Anakinra on unmyelinated nerve fibers protection in a transgenic mouse model for human V30M transthyretin. In these studies, Anakinra decreased, among other markers, nerve levels of IL-1b, NFB and activated-caspase 3, associated with a decrease in TTRnon fibrillar deposition. In the present work, we compared the efficacy of other compounds under human therapeutical trials for Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP) in the same animal model, having 5 months of age.

MMP-14 overexpression correlates with the neurodegenerative process in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy
Levels of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) can be differentially regulated in response to injury or neurological diseases. For instance, it is known that selective and short-term inhibition of MMP-14, a membrane-type 1 MMP, accelerates axon regeneration. Because axon growth and regeneration is impaired in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mis...
متن کاملA transgenic rat with the human ATTR V30M: a novel tool for analyses of ATTR metabolisms.
Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) is the pathogenic protein of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP). To establish a tool for analyses of ATTR metabolisms including after liver transplantations, we developed a transgenic rat model expressing human ATTR V30M and confirmed expressions of human ATTR V30M in various tissues. Mass spectrometry for purified TTR revealed that rat intrinsic TTR an...

Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by deposition of amyloid related to the presence of mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. TTR is mainly synthesized in liver, choroid plexuses of brain and pancreas and secreted to plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although it possesses a sequon for N-glycosylation N-D-S at position 98, it is not secre...

Hereditary ATTR V30M amyloidosis is a lethal autosomal dominant sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy caused by deposition of aberrant transthyretin (TTR). Immunohistochemical examination of sural nerve biopsies in patients with amyloidotic neuropathy show co-aggregation of TTR with several proteins; including apolipoprotein E, serum amyloid P and components of the complement cascade. Complemen...
