Aggregation of Huntingtin in Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusions and Dystrophic Neurites in Brain
Marian DiFiglia,Ellen Sapp,Kathryn Chase,Stephen W. Davies,Gillian P. Bates,J. P. Vonsattel,Neil Aronin +6 more
TL;DR: An NH2-terminal fragment of mutant huntingtin was localized to neuronal intranuclear inclusions and dystrophic neurites in the HD cortex and striatum, and polyglutamine length influenced the extent of huntingtin accumulation in these structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deter +235 more
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of neuronal intranuclear inclusions underlies the neurological dysfunction in mice transgenic for the hd mutation
Stephen W. Davies,Mark Turmaine,Barbara A. Cozens,Marian DiFiglia,Alan H. Sharp,Christopher A. Ross,Eberhard Scherzinger,Erich E. Wanker,Laura Mangiarini,Gillian P. Bates +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed that mice transgenic for exon 1 of the human HD gene carrying (CAG)115 to 157 repeat expansions develop pronounced neuronal intranuclear inclusions, containing the proteins huntingtin and ubiquitin, prior to developing a neurological phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Huntingtin is a cytoplasmic protein associated with vesicles in human and rat brain neurons.
Marian DiFiglia,Ellen Sapp,Kathryn Chase,Cordula Schwarz,Alison R. Meloni,Christine Young,Eileen J. Martin,Jean-Paul Vonsattel,Robert E. Carraway,Steven A Reeves,Frederick M. Boyce,Neil Aronin +11 more
TL;DR: Immunohistochemistry in human and rat brain revealed widespread cytoplasmic labeling of huntingtin within neurons, rather than the more selective pattern of axon terminal labeling characteristic of many vesicle-associated proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for degenerative and regenerative changes in neostriatal spiny neurons in Huntington's disease
TL;DR: The findings provide evidence for simultaneous degeneration and growth of spiny neurons in Huntington's disease and support the view that a specific population of neostriatal neurons is selectively involved in its pathogenesis.
