Multiple sclerosis Inflammtory demyelination involoving the central nervous system Multiple occurrence both in time and space Three clinical types: relapsing-remittent secondary progressive primary progressive Myelin Axon Myelin Axon Triplet repeat disease 1. Abnormal expansion of CAG repeats in the exons of the responsible gene, translating into polyglutamine 2. Accumulation of polyglutamine in the nucleus and cytoplasm 3. Selective neuronal degeneration Huntington disease: caudate nucleus SCA3/ MJD: pons, cerebellum spinal cord, basal ganglia DRPLA: dentate-rubllo-pallido-luysain atrophy Huntington Control 9
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1. Progressive weakness and atrophy 2. Death due to respiratory failure 3. Intact intellectual function 4. A subgroup of familial case caused by mutation of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), leading to the accumulation of ubiquitinated abnormal SOD1 Intraneuronal inclusion 10
Aging and Dementia Abnormal accumulation of posttranslated proteins β amyloid = Alzheimer disease (senile plaques) accompanying secondary tauopathy (tangles) hereditary - mutation in APP, PS1 & 2 sporadic - association with apoe4 τ = tauopathy hereditary - FTDP17- mutation in τ gene sporadic - Pick s disease α-synuclein = synucleinopathy - Parkinson s disease hereditary - α-synuclein gene, mutation, dupulicaion Parkin gene (ubiquitin ligase), LRRK2 sporadic - Lewy body disease multiple system atrophy Alzheimer s disease The most common cause of dementia Progressive cognitive decline Amyloid cascading hypothesis accumulation of β amyloid (Aβ) abnormal phosphorylation of τ protein β & γ secretase cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) to form Aβ Vaccination of Aβ halted by complication of fatal encephalitis Acetylcholine esterase inhibitor, transiently effective AD 70Y Averaged FDG-PET Images in Alzheimer s Disease 83Y Normal N=12 Mild AD HDRS>20 N=6 Moderate AD HDRS 10~20 N=7 Severe AD HDRS<10 N=6 11
