Abstract: | Prion diseases are infectious and fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The pathogenic agent is an abnormal prion protein aggregate.
Microglial activation in the centre nervous system is a characteristic feature of prion disease. In this study, we examined
the effect of PrP 106–126 on PrP mRNA gene expression in Mouse microglia cells BV-2 by real-time quantitative PCR. PrP mRNA
expression level was found to be significantly increased after 18 h exposure of BV-2 cells to PrP 106–126, with 3-fold increase
after 18 h and 4.5-fold increase after 24 h and BV-2 cells proliferating occurred correspondingly. Our results provide the
first in vitro evidence of the increase of PrP mRNA levels in microglial cells exposed to PrP 106–126, and indicate that microglial cells
might play a critical role in prion pathogenesis. |
