Abstract

Dysfunctions of Ca2+ homeostasis and of mitochondria have been studied in immortalized striatal cells from a commonly used Huntington disease mouse model. Transcriptional changes in the components of the phosphatidylinositol cycle and in the receptors for myo-inositol trisphosphate-linked agonists have been found in the cells and in the striatum of the parent Huntington disease mouse. The overall result of the changes is to delay myo-inositol trisphosphate production and to decrease basal Ca2+ in mutant cells. When tested directly, mitochondria in mutant cells behave nearly normally, but are unable to handle large Ca2+ loads. This appears to be due to the increased Ca2+ sensitivity of the permeability transition pore, which dissipates the membrane potential, prompting the release of accumulated Ca2+. Harmful reactive oxygen species, which are produced by defective mitochondria and may in turn stress them, increase in mutant cells, particularly if the damage to mitochondria is artificially exacerbated, for instance with complex II inhibitors. Mitochondria in mutant cells are thus peculiarly vulnerable to stresses induced by Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species. The observed decrease of cell Ca2+ could be a compensatory attempt to prevent the Ca2+ stress that would irreversibly damage mitochondria and eventually lead to cell death.

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.
