La maladie de Huntington (MH) est une maladie autosomale dominante causée par une expansion de la répétition CAG codant pour une expansion de la polyglutamine dans le premier exon du gène Huntingtine (HTT). Ce gène code pour une protéine ubiquitaire dont la mutation entraine de graves symptômes moteurs, psychiatriques et cognitifs, dus à la dégénérescence spécifique des neurones GABAergique épineux moyens du striatum.

Abstract:

Huntington diseases(HD) is a fatal autosomal neurodegenerative genetic disorder, caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, resulting in a toxic gain-of-function in the mutant huntingtin protein(mHTT). To date, there is no approved treatment to either cure or halt the course of HD. It has been established that wild-type(wt) HTT protein is essential for development and has a critical role for maintaining neuronal health, thus, a preferable approach for treatment is an mHTT specific lowering maintaining the wild type HTT expression.

Abstract:

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late onset, neurological, autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Despite being associated to a defined genetic mutation within the huntingtin gene (HTT), little is known about its transcriptional regulation. HTT is expressed, at varying levels, throughout the body. At the current time, the transcriptional regulation mechanisms controlling this differential expression pattern are unknown. Previous studies have focused on the genomic region directly preceding HTT’s transcriptional start site. The purpose of this thesis was to utilize the current understanding of mamm

Abstract:

Huntington Disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurological disease attributed to a CAG expansion within the HD gene. The HD mutation gives rise to a polyglutamine expansion in exon 1 of the protein huntingtin (Htt). Since the discovery of the HD mutation in 1993, various HD gene mouse models have been developed to contain either fragments or full-length copies of the mutant HD gene. The existence of these HD mouse models enables focused therapeutic testing to develop potential treatments for HD. RNA interference (RNAi) therapy is a targeted gene silencing approach whereby synthetic RNA con

Abstract:

Although mutations in the Huntingtin gene (HTT) due to polyQ expansion are known to cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington's disease, HD), the normal function(s) of the huntingtin gene and its product remains obscure. The principal aim of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of the evolution, function and genetics of the huntingtin gene using the invertebrate chordate Ciona intestinalis.

Abstract:

Huntington’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of the CAG repeat in huntingtin exon 1. Early studies demonstrated the huntingtin gene is transcribed into two 3′UTR isoforms in normal human tissue. Decades later, researchers identified a truncated huntingtin mRNA isoform in disease but not control human brain. We speculated the amount of huntingtin 3′UTR isoforms might also vary between control and Huntington’s disease brains. We provide evidence that the abundance of huntingtin 3′UTR isoforms, including a novel mid-3′UTR isoform, differs between patient and control ne

Abstract:

Huntington Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by expanded CAG repeats in the exon1 of huntingtin gene (HTT). The mutant HTT affects the transcriptional profile of neurons by disrupting the activities of transcriptional machinery and alters expression of many genes. In this study, we identified dysregulated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in medium spiny neurons of 4-week-old HD model mouse. Also, we observed the intracellular localizations of Abhd11os and Neat1 ncRNAs by ViewRNA in situ hybridization, which could provide more precise detection, suggesting that it is a useful method t

Abstract:

Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are devastating neurodegenerative diseases that progress with the death of selective neuronal subpopulations. Neuronal dysfunction and death are consequence of multiple pathogenic processes which alter signalling cascades. The identification of such molecular pathways is crucial to understand the cellular processes that triggers the symptomatology of diseases. One of the common affected pathways in neurodegeneration is the mTOR pathway. It regulates multiple cellular processes to preserve cellular viability and function. Consequently, to m

Abstract:

The causative role of the huntingtin (HTT) gene in Huntington's disease (HD) has been identified more than 25 years ago. The extension of CAG repeat stretch over 39 repeats in exon 1 of one HTT allele results in full penetrance of this neurodegenerative disorder. While the identification of the causative mutation raised hopes that development of the therapeutic compound will be easily achievable, the patients and their families are still waiting for treatment until now. The main reason for that might be the complex cellular function HTT that makes the determination of the pathologic mechanism
