Abstract: | Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a multifunctional cytoplasmic protein that plays an especially critical role in the formation of aggresomes, where aggregates of excess protein are deposited. Previous immunohistochemical studies have shown that HDAC6 accumulates in Lewy bodies in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) as well as in glial cytoplasmic inclusions in multiple system atrophy (MSA). However, it is uncertain whether the level and activity of HDAC6 are altered in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative dementia. In the present study, we demonstrated that the level of HDAC6 was not altered in the temporal cortex of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and DLB in comparison with controls. In contrast, the level of HDAC6 was significantly increased in the temporal cortex of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions (FTLD-TDP) and in the cerebellar white matter of patients with MSA. However, the level of acetylated α-tubulin, one of the substrates of HDAC6, was not altered in FTLD-TDP and MSA relative to controls. These findings suggest that the induced level of HDAC6 in the brain is insufficient for manifestation of its activity in FTLD-TDP and MSA. |
