Change in tau phosphorylation associated with neurodegeneration in the ME7 model of prion disease

, 2010
Hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is a significant determinant in AD (Alzheimer's disease), where it is associated with disrupted axonal transport and probably causes synaptic dysfunction.

Gene expression profiling en association with prion-related lesions in the medulla oblongata of symptomatic natural scrapie animals. [PDF]

, 2011
The pathogenesis of natural scrapie and other prion diseases remains unclear. Examining transcriptome variations in infected versus control animals may highlight new genes potentially involved in some of the molecular mechanisms of prion-induced ...

MiRNA expression profiles in the brains of mice infected with scrapie agents 139A, ME7 and S15

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2016
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of non-coding endogenous small-molecule single-stranded RNA that regulates complementary mRNA through degradation or translation of the mRNA targets. Usually, miRNAs show remarkable cell and tissues specificity.

Astrocyte in prion disease: a double-edged sword

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Prion diseases are infectious protein misfolding disorders of the central nervous system that result from misfolding of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into the pathologic isoform PrPSc.

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]

, 2011
Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Intra- and interspecies interactions between prion proteins and effects of mutations and polymorphisms [PDF]

, 2003
Recently, crystallization of the prion protein in a dimeric form was reported. Here we show that native soluble homogenous FLAG-tagged prion proteins from hamster, man and cattle expressed in the baculovirus system are predominantly dimeric.

Differentially Expressed MiRNAs and tRNA Genes Affect Host Homeostasis During Highly Pathogenic Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Infections in Young Pigs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Background: Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a single-stranded RNA virus member that infects pigs and causes losses to the commercial industry reaching upward of a billion dollars annually in combined direct and indirect ...

Genetics of Prion Disease

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2011
Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are neurodegenerative disorders of humans and animals for which there are no effective treatments or cure. They include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and sheep scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids.

Infectious Dose of a 2018 Senecavirus A Isolate in Neonatal Pigs

Veterinary Sciences
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a picornavirus that causes vesicular disease in swine and has been associated with increased neonatal mortality. Although SVA had only been detected sporadically in the United States since the 1980s, there was a sharp increase in ...
