Decreased brain levels of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide-3′-phosphodiesterase in Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract

In Down syndrome (DS) as well as in Alzheimer's disease (AD) oligodendroglial and myelin alterations have been reported. 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) and carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) are widely accepted as markers for oligodendroglia and myelin. However, only data on CNPase activity have been available in AD and DS brains so far. In our study we determined the protein levels of CNPase and CA II in DS, AD and in control post mortem brain samples in order to assess oligodendroglia and myelin alterations in both diseases. We used two dimensional electrophoresis to separate brain proteins that were subsequently identified by matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization mass-spectroscopy (MALDI-MS). Seven brain areas were investigated (frontal, temporal, occipital and parietal cortex, cerebellum, thalamus and caudate nucleus). In comparison to control brains we detected significantly decreased CNPase protein levels in frontal and temporal cortex of DS patients. The level of CA II protein in DS was unchanged in comparison to controls. In AD brains levels of CNPase were decreased in frontal cortex only. The level of CA II in all brain areas in AD group was comparable to controls. Changes of CNPase protein levels in DS and AD are in agreement with the previous finding of decreased CNPase activity in DS and AD brain. They probably reflect decreased oligodendroglial density and/or reduced myelination. These can be secondary to disturbances in axon/oligodend…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • AD pathology in the white matter includes loss of myelin and a decrease in oligodendrocyte proteins.

    “AD pathology in the white matter includes the loss of myelin and a decrease in oligodendrocyte proteins [62–68].”
  • Lower levels of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide-3′-phosphodiesterase (CNP), an oligodendrocyte specific protein, have been detected in the front and temporal lobes of tissue samples from Down syndrome versus controls.

    “In addition, lower levels of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide-3′-phosphodiesterase (CNP), an OL specific protein, have also been detected in the front and temporal lobes of tissue samples from DS versus controls (Vlkolinský et al., 2001).”

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.
