Abstract

Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of a disease-associated prion protein and apoptotic neuronal death. Previous studies indicated that the ubiquitous expression of c-Abl tyrosine kinase transduces a variety of extrinsic and intrinsic cellular signals. In this study, we demonstrated that a synthetic neurotoxic prion fragment (PrP106-126) activated c-Abl tyrosine kinase, which in turn triggered the upregulation of MST1 and BIM, suggesting the activation of the c-Abl-BIM signaling pathway. The peptide fragment was found to result in cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction in neuron cultures. Knockdown of c-Abl using small interfering RNA protected neuronal cells from PrP106-126-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, production of reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic events inducing translocation of Bax to the mitochondria, cytochrome c release into the cytosol, and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Blocking the c-Abl tyrosine kinase also prevented neuronal cells from PrP106-126-induced apoptotic morphological changes. This is the first study reporting that c-Abl tyrosine kinase as a novel upstream activator of MST1 and BIM plays an important role in prion-induced neuron apoptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction. Our findings suggest that c-Abl tyrosine kinase is a potential therapeutic target for prion disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
