Immune complexes in chronic Chagas disease patients are formed by exovesicles from Trypanosoma cruzi carrying the conserved MASP N-terminal region [PDF]

, 2017
The exovesicles (EVs) are involved in pathologic host-parasite immune associations and have been recently used as biomarkers for diagnosis of infectious diseases.

eIF2B activator prevents neurological defects caused by a chronic integrated stress response

eLife, 2019
The integrated stress response (ISR) attenuates the rate of protein synthesis while inducing expression of stress proteins in cells. Various insults activate kinases that phosphorylate the GTPase eIF2 leading to inhibition of its exchange factor eIF2B ...

From Diagnosis to Disease Staging: Multisite Validation of Cerebrospinal Fluid Molecular Tests in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The growing demand for personalized treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS) highlights the need for more precise biomarkers that can outperform magnetic resonance imaging and clinical assessment in patient stratification. Advances in multiplex proteomic technologies suggest that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis at MS onset may not only improve

Proteomics of bovine myelin sheath: Characterization of a truncated form of P0 by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2006
The glycoprotein P0, the major structural protein of the peripheral nerve myelin, plays a critical role in holding myelin lamellae together via interaction of both extracellular and cytoplasmic domains. Mutations in the human P0 gene give rise to severe and progressive forms of dominantly inherited peripheral neuropathies like CMT1B.

LDL receptor-related protein-1 regulates NFκB and microRNA-155 in macrophages to control the inflammatory response [PDF]

, 2016
LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is an endocytic and cell-signaling receptor. In mice in which LRP1 is deleted in myeloid cells, the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was greatly exacerbated.

Endogenous Repair in Vanishing White Matter

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Vanishing white matter is a leukodystrophy with remarkable regional variation in disease severity. The cerebral and cerebellar white matter chronically degenerates, while stress‐induced episodes of rapid neurological deterioration coincide with the appearance of acute focal lesions in the deep gray structures and brainstem.

Brain Citrullination Patterns and T Cell Reactivity of Cerebrospinal Fluid-Derived CD4+ T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Immune responses to citrullinated peptides have been described in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS). We investigated the post-translational modification (PTM), arginine to citrulline, in brain tissue of MS ...

Non‐Synaptic Function and Localization of Syntaxin‐Binding Protein 1 in a Mouse Model of STXBP1‐Related Epileptic Encephalopathy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective De novo mutations in the syntaxin‐binding protein 1 (STXBP1), encoded by STXBP1, are among the most prevalent causes of variable neurodevelopmental disorders, including epileptic encephalopathy, developmental delay, and movement disorders.

Multimodal approach to characterize surgically removed epileptogenic zone from patients with focal drug‐resistant epilepsy: From operating room to wet lab

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We have established a comprehensive sample handling protocol designed for the multiscale assessment of epileptogenic tissue. This protocol aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and enhance the diagnosis and stratification of patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, thereby optimizing their treatment with anti‐seizure medications ...
