RNA-seq and network analysis reveal unique glial gene expression signatures during prion infection
7 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prion diseases and prion-like disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, are characterized by gliosis and accumulation of misfolded aggregated host proteins. Ablating microglia in prion-infected brain by treatment with the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor, PLX5622, increased accumulation of misfolded prion protein and decreased survival time. METHODS: To...
