Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-219 modulates NMDA receptor-mediated neurobehavioral dysfunction

TL;DR: In vivo inhibition of miR-219 by specific antimiR in the murine brain significantly modulated behavioral responses associated with disrupted NMDA receptor transmission, and pretreatment with the antipsychotic drugs haloperidol and clozapine prevented dizocilpine-induced effects on miR -219.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vitro and In Vivo Neurotoxicity of Prion Protein Oligomers

TL;DR: The identification of toxic PrP species in vivo shows that PrP-induced neurodegeneration shares common mechanisms with other brain amyloidoses like Alzheimer disease and opens new avenues for neuroprotective intervention strategies of prion diseases targeting PrP oligomers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Quinacrine Treatment for Prion Diseases

TL;DR: Despite its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, the use of quinacrine for the treatment of CJD is questionable, at least as a monotherapy, and the multistep experimental approach employed here could be used to test new therapeutic regimes before their use in human trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue distribution of bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent in primates after intravenous or oral infection

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the possible risk of vCJD linked to endoscopic procedures might be currently underestimated and humans infected intravenously with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease need the same precautionary measures with respect to blood and tissue donations and surgical procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atypical BSE (BASE) transmitted from asymptomatic aging cattle to a primate.

TL;DR: Despite the waning epidemic of classical BSE, the occurrence of atypical strains should temper the urge to relax measures currently in place to protect public health from accidental contamination by BSE-contaminated products.
