It is suspected that a pathologically altered form of the prion protein (PrPSc) is the decisive trigger of the disease. Data from animal experiments suggest an involvement of the lymphatic system in the intracorporal transport of PrPSc. However, it has not so far been possible to detect PrPSc on mononuclear cells (MNCs) either in the sporadic form of CJD or in the new variant of CJD (vCJD). In order to determine a possible alteration of MNCs in CJD, we investigated the natural and induced apoptotic behaviour of these cells.MNCs from 19 patients with sporadic CJD and from 20 patients with other neurological disorders were used. The cells were analysed by fluorescence cytometry with and without apoptosis induction by xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine. The apoptosis rate was quantified using the stain 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD). In the morphological investigation of the cells before apoptosis induction, there were no significant differences between the groups with regard to cell size and granularity of the MNCs. After apoptosis induction, the typical significant decrease in cell size and increase in granularity of the cells occurred in both groups. Significant differences between the patient populations were not found.For the first time, our investigation has demonstrated that a functional impairment of MNCs with regard to their apoptotic behaviour does not occur in sporadic CJD. It remains open to question whether this mechanism plays an important role in forms of transmissible encephalopathy other than sporadic CJD, especially after oral transmission."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/pl00007834"],["dc.identifier.gro","3151691"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/8510"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0340-5354"],["dc.title","Unaltered apoptotic behaviour of mononuclear cells from patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Patients and methods: Since 1993 all suspected case of CJD reported in the Federal Republic of Germany have been analysed by a unified schema and classified by standardised criteria. In addition to voluntary reporting two other systems were accessed: (1) compulsory reporting to the Robert Koch Institute via the appropriate Health Department and (2) cause of death statistics of the Federal Office of Statistics. Results: Between June 1993 and May 2001, a total of 1247 patients with suspected CJD, obtained by the >>Study of the epidemiology and early diagnosis of human spongioform encephalopathies<< at Gottingen University, were examined. The suspected disease was confirmed by autopsy in 404 cases, the diagnosis of probable CJD was made in 369 cases on the basis of clinical data and additional investigation. At the beginning of the Gottingen Study in 1993 the incidence in Germany was 0.7 per mill. population, while in the year 2000 it had risen to 1.3 per mill. population. Corresponding increases in the number of cases since 1993 have been noted also by the Robert Koch Institute and the Federal Office of Statistics. Conclusions: The increased incidence can be explained primarily by a decrease in previously unknown cases. Concerted action as part of the Gottingen Study has increased the cooperation of associated clinics. In addition to sporadic cases of CJD, genetic and, more rarely, iatrogenic forms have been seen in Germany.
