For safe diagnostic processing of tissue and instruments, a rapid, highly sensitive, and specific analysis for prion aggregates is necessary. Here, we examined 16 brain biopsies and brain samples (frontal cortex and cerebellum) from 65 autopsies by Western blot, paraffin-embedded tissue (PET) blot, immunohistochemistry, and the recently described membrane adsorption assay (MAA) for their suitability to detect pathologic prion protein. In our hands, the PET blot method provided the highest sensitivity in prion detection (biopsies, 100%; all autopsy sections, 96.3%), closely followed by the MAA (biopsies, 100%; all autopsy samples, 96%) and Western blot analysis (biopsies, 100%; all autopsy samples, 92%). Conventional immunohistochemistry is the least sensitive method (biopsies, 50%; all autopsy sections, 80%) and also gave 1 false-positive biopsy result. Consequently, our standard diagnostic protocol is to use the MAA as a first step for detecting or excluding a prion disease, followed by the PET blot for the prion deposition pattern, Western blotting for prion typing, and immunohistochemistry for differential diagnoses. With this standard and the availability of unfixed tissue, a diagnosis was possible in all 16 biopsies examined."],["dc.description.sponsorship","VolkswagenStiftung [VWZ2168]; Prionscreen [FP6-2005-SSP-5A]"],["dc.format.extent","19"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1097/NEN.0b013e31829d2799"],["dc.identifier.isi","000330383600005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23860029"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12445"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91960"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Lippincott Williams & Wilkins"],["dc.relation.issn","1554-6578"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3069"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.mesh","Alzheimer Disease"],["dc.subject.mesh","Biopsy"],["dc.subject.mesh","Brain"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cell Membrane"],["dc.subject.mesh","Dementia"],["dc.subject.mesh","Female"],["dc.subject.mesh","Filtration"],["dc.subject.mesh","Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration"],["dc.subject.mesh","Humans"],["dc.subject.mesh","Male"],["dc.subject.mesh","Parkinson Disease"],["dc.subject.mesh","Positron-Emission Tomography"],["dc.subject.mesh","PrPSc Proteins"],["dc.subject.mesh","Prion Diseases"],["dc.subject.mesh","Prions"],["dc.subject.mesh","Sensitivity and Specificity"],["dc.title","Filtration of protein aggregates increases the accuracy for diagnosing prion diseases in brain biopsies."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

There is ample in vitro and in vivo evidence suggesting a neuroprotective role for PrPc. On the other hand, several in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated detrimental effects of PrPc overexpression through activation of a p53 pathway. Recently, we reported that transient overexpression of PrPc in human embryonic kidney 293 cells elicits proteome expression changes which point to deregulation of proteins involved in energy metabolism and cellular homeostasis. Here we report proteome expression changes following stable PrPc overexpression in human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. In total 18 proteins that are involved in diverse biological processes were identified as differentially regulated. The majority of these proteins is involved in cell signaling, cytoskeletal organization and protein folding. Annexin V exhibited a several fold up-regulation following stable PrPc overexpression in SH-SY5Y cells. This finding has been reproduced in alternative, mouse N2a and human SK-N-LO neuroblastoma cell lines transiently overexpressing PrPc. Annexin V plays an important role in maintenance of calcium homeostasis which when disturbed can activate a p53-dependent cell death. Although we did not detect changes in p53 expression between PrPc overexpressing SH-SY5Y and control cells, deregulation of several proteins including annexin V, polyglutamine tract-binding protein-1, spermine synthase and transgelin 2 indicates disrupted cellular equilibrium. We conclude that stable PrPc overexpression in SH-SY5Y cells is sufficient to perturb cellular balance but insufficient to affect p53 expression. (C) 2010 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Ever since bovine sporadic encephalopathy was discovered as the likely cause of the new variant of CJD in humans, parallels between human and animal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies must be viewed under the aspect of a disease risk for humans. In our study we have compared prion characteristics of different forms of sheep scrapie with those of different phenotypes of sporadic CJD. The disease characteristics of sporadic CJD depend considerably on the prion type 1 or 2. Our results show that there are obvious parallels between sporadic CJD type 1 and the so-called atypical/Nor98 scrapie. These parelleles apply to the deposition form of pathological prion protein in the brain, detected by the paraffm-embedded-tissue blot and the prion aggregate stability with regard to denaturation by the chaotropic salt guanidine hydrochloride. The same applies to sporadic CJD type 2 and classical scrapie. The observed parallels between types of sporadic CJD and types of sheep scrapie demonstrate that distinct groups of prion disease exist in different species. This should be taken into consideration when discussing interspecies transmission.

In this study, we investigated the proteome of the frontal cortex of patients with the two most common sCJD subtypes (MM1 and VV2) using 2D-DIGE and MS. Analysis of 2D maps revealed that 46 proteins are differentially expressed in the sCJD. Common differential expression was detected for seven proteins, four showed opposite direction of differential expression, and the remaining ones displayed subtype-specific alteration. The highest number of differentially expressed proteins was associated with signal transduction and neuronal activity. Moreover, functional groups of proteins involved in cell cycle and death, as well as in structure and motility included subtype-specific expressed proteins exclusively. The expression of Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha, which regulates Rab3a-mediated neurotransmitter release, was affected in both sCJD subtypes that were analyzed.

The densitometric analysis of 2D gels showed up-regulation of 27 and down-regulation of 3 proteins in the MM-sCJD as well as the up-regulation of 24 proteins in the VV-sCJD as compared to nondemented control. Almost 40% of sCJD specific regulated proteins in CSF are involved in glucose metabolism, regardless of the codon 129 polymorphism. The increase in CSF levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (G6PI), and fructosebisphosphate aldolase A (ALDOA) were validated on a larger group of sCJD patients including three possible codon 129 polymorphism carriers and three control groups consisting of nondemented, neurological cases as well as patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia. Subsequently, the abundance of these glycolytic enzymes in the brain as well as their cellular localization were determined. This study demonstrates for the first time the implication of G6PI in prion-induced pathology as well as its cellular translocalization in sCJD.
