Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of the peripheral nervous system in synucleinopathies, tauopathies and other neurodegenerative proteinopathies of the brain
TL;DR: Peripheral ganglia and visceral organs are also involved in polyglutamine diseases and further elucidation and characterization of PNS lesions will have implications for intravital biopsy diagnosis in neurodegenerative proteinopathy, particularly in Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinoic Acid-Inducible Gene-I Is Induced in Endothelial Cells by LPS and Regulates Expression of COX-2
Tadaatsu Imaizumi,Satoko Aratani,Toshihiro Nakajima,M. Carlson,Tomoh Matsumiya,Kunikazu Tanji,Keizou Ookawa,Hidemi Yoshida,Shigeki Tsuchida,Thomas M. McIntyre,Stephen M. Prescott,Guy A. Zimmerman,Kei Satoh +12 more
TL;DR: Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is found to be an inducible gene in stimulated endothelial cells that may have important roles in vascular pathology by virtue of its ability to regulate expression of the COX-2 gene product.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation process of TDP-43-positive neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with and without dementia
Fumiaki Mori,Kunikazu Tanji,Hai-Xin Zhang,Yasushi Nishihira,Chun-Feng Tan,Hitoshi Takahashi,Koichi Wakabayashi +6 more
TL;DR: There are differences in the formation process between skein-like and round inclusions, despite the antigenic and ultrastructural similarities of TDP-43-positive neuronal inclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging functional cross-talk between the Keap1-Nrf2 system and mitochondria
TL;DR: It is argued that the Nrf2 stress pathway intimately communicates with mitochondria to maintain cellular homeostasis during oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
TDP-43-immunoreactive neuronal and glial inclusions in the neostriatum in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with and without dementia.
Hai-Xin Zhang,Chun-Feng Tan,Fumiaki Mori,Kunikazu Tanji,Akiyoshi Kakita,Hitoshi Takahashi,Koichi Wakabayashi +6 more
TL;DR: In ALS-D, neuronal loss in the substantia nigra was found in all the cases, whereas mild gliosis without obvious neuronal loss was noted in the neostriaum in only two cases, suggesting that the nestriatum is also involved in the disease process of ALS with and without dementia.
