78 results about "Spinocerebellar ataxia" patented technology

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), progressive, degenerative, genetic disease with multiple types, each of which could be considered a neurological condition in its own right. An estimated 150,000 people in the United States have a diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia at any given time. SCA is hereditary, progressive, degenerative, and often fatal. There is no known effective treatment or cure. SCA can affect anyone of any age. The disease is caused by either a recessive or dominant gene. In many cases people are not aware that they carry a relevant gene until they have children who begin to show signs of having the disorder.

To provide a compound which enables treatment or prevention of spinocerebellar ataxia, analyses were carried out based on a screening using a spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) fly model and on the like. As a result, the following proteins ameliorating the pathology of spinocerebellar ataxia were identified: RPA1, PNKP, XRCC3, XRCC4, CCNH, POLE, POLH, and PERI. On the other hand, the following proteins aggravating the pathology were identified: CHK1, LIG3, FEN1, LIG1, ERCC5, XAB2, ERCC2, DMC1, RECQL5, MUS81, EME1, SPO11, and BLM. In addition, it has been revealed that ATXN1, which is a cause of SCA1, binds to RPA1, BRCA1, and BRCA2, and suppresses the activities of these proteins, so that the above-described pathology is caused.

Nisod-like compound and its derivatives for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders

The accumulation of abnormal proteins in neurodegenerative disorders is considered to induce oxidative stress and lead to cell death. Thus suppression of abnormal protein aggregation and reducing oxidative stress or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are expected to inhibit a wide range of harmful downstream events, providing an observation for identifying the potential prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders comprising spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present invention, there are several cell and animal experiment models for SCA, AD and PD established, and NiSOD-like compounds were applied to these experiment models. The results have demonstrated how NiSOD-like compounds are likely to work in suppressing abnormal protein aggregation and reducing oxidative stress; in addition, the results were also confirmed with brain slice culture of SCA17 transgenic mice and AD mice, brain tissues immunostaining of PD mice, and SCA17 transgenic, AD and PD mice.

Compositions and methods for spinocerebellar ataxia

ActiveUS20060292604A1Sugar derivativesMicrobiological testing/measurementEtiologyAutosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia
The autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) represent a growing and heterogeneous clinical phenotype with ongoing discovery of causative etiologies. Methods: The authors collected DNA and clinically characterized a three-generation Filipino family segregating a dominant ataxia. Following elimination of several known SCA loci, a genome-wide linkage study was undertaken with additional fine mapping of 19q13. Results: Clinical characterization of affected family members revealed cerebellar signs including gait ataxia, limb ataxia / dysmetria, titubation, hypotonia, dysarthria, and nystagmus. Linkage was found in a ˜4 cM region of 19q13 bounded by markers D19S867 and D19S553, with a maximum LOD score of 3.89 at markers D19S904, D19S246, and D19S907. This region overlaps with, though markedly reduces the previously described SCA13 locus. Conclusion: An autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia clinically distinguishable from SCA13 overlaps with the SCA13 locus on chromosome 19q13.3.
