Bax deletion prevents neuronal loss but not neurological symptoms in a transgenic model of inherited prion diseaseRoberto Chiesa
Dulbecco Telethon Institute and Department of Neuroscience, Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, 20157 Milan, Italy
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:238-43. 2005..These results provide insights into the pathogenesis of prion diseases and have important implications for the treatment of these disorders...
Neurotoxic and gliotrophic activity of a synthetic peptide homologous to Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease amyloid proteinLuana Fioriti

Mol Cell Neurosci 28:165-76. 2005..These results indicate that PrP106-126 interferes with a PrP function that requires only low protein levels, and is not impaired by a pathogenic insertion in the octapeptide region... - Cytosolic prion protein (PrP) is not toxic in N2a cells and primary neurons expressing pathogenic PrP mutationsLuana Fioriti
Dulbecco Telethon Institute (DTI) and Department of Neuroscience, Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, Milano 20157, Italy

Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, Milan, Italy
J Virol 79:11225-30. 2005..In conclusion, our data indicate that plasminogen has no major effect on the survival of scrapie agent-infected mice... - Specific recognition of biologically active amyloid-β oligomers by a new surface plasmon resonance-based immunoassay and an in vivo assay in Caenorhabditis elegansMatteo Stravalaci
Department of Molecular Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, 20156 Milan, Italy
J Biol Chem 287:27796-805. 2012..The SPR-based immunoassay provides new opportunities for detection of toxic Aβ oligomers in biological samples and could be adapted to study misfolding proteins in other neurodegenerative disorders... - Synthetic miniprion PrP106Valentina Bonetto
Dulbecco Telethon Institute, Department of Molecular Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, Via Eritrea 62, Milan 20157, Italy
J Biol Chem 277:31327-34. 2002..These features are central properties of PrP(Sc) and make sPrP106 an excellent tool for investigating the molecular basis of the conformational conversion of PrP(C) into PrP(Sc) and prion disease pathogenesis... - Molecular distinction between pathogenic and infectious properties of the prion proteinRoberto Chiesa
Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110, USA
J Virol 77:7611-22. 2003..Our analysis provides new molecular insight into an emerging puzzle in prion biology, the discrepancy between the infectious and neurotoxic properties of PrP... - A murine model of a familial prion diseaseDavid A Harris
Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Ave, St Louis, MO 63110, USA
Clin Lab Med 23:175-86. 2003..Because the mutant protein in the mice is highly neurotoxic but appears to lack infectivity, further analysis of its properties promises to shed new light on the molecular distinction between pathogenic and infectious forms of PrP... - Multiple biochemical similarities between infectious and non-infectious aggregates of a prion protein carrying an octapeptide insertionEmiliano Biasini
Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Missouri 63110, USA
J Neurochem 104:1293-308. 2008..Collectively, these results suggest that infectious and non-infectious aggregates of PrP share common structural features accounting for their toxicity, and that self-propagation of PrP involves more subtle molecular differences... - Analysis of mammalian scrapie protein by novel monoclonal antibodies recognizing distinct prion protein glycoforms: an immunoblot and immunohistochemical study at the light and electron microscopic levelsAndrea Matucci
Section of Immunology, Department of Pathology, University of Verona, Policlinico G.B. Rossi, P. le L.A. Scuro 10, 37134 Verona, Italy
Brain Res Bull 65:155-62. 2005..These novel anti-PrP mAbs provide tools to investigate the subcellular site of PrP deposition in mammalian prion diseases and may also contribute to assess the role of different PrP glycoforms in human and animal prion diseases... - Conditions of endoplasmic reticulum stress favor the accumulation of cytosolic prion proteinAndrea Orsi
Universita Vita Salute San Raffaele, DiBiT Istituto Scientifico San Raffaele, Via Olgettina 58, 20132 Milano, Italy
