Disease relevance of Uchl1

  • The availability of the rat PGP9.5 clone provides a new approach to examine the function of PGP9.5 and the role that it plays in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases [1].
  • Reinnervation after tibial fracture in the rat was studied by analyzing the occurrence of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), a marker for regenerating nerve fibers, and protein gene product 9.5 (PGP-9.5), a marker for mature nerve fibers, by immunohistochemistry [2].
  • It may be concluded that radioiodinated MIBG is a reliable marker for the detection of cardiac adrenergic neuronal damage in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy; it detects such damage earlier than do other clinical parameters and in this study showed a good correlation with the reduction in the neuronal population on PGP 9.5 stain [3].
  • We investigated whether UCH-L1 plays a neuroprotective role at the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), the origin of sympathetic neurogenic vasomotor tone in the medulla oblongata where the organophosphate insecticide mevinphos (Mev) acts to elicit cardiovascular toxicity [4].
  • After exposure to hypercapnic hypoxia for 3 months, the number of endocrine cells with PGP 9.5 and CGRP was markedly increased [5].
 

High impact information on Uchl1

  • Cysts (like the uterus) were robustly innervated, with many PGP9.5-stained neurites accompanying blood vessels and extending into nearby luminal epithelial layers [6].
  • Proteins encoded by two other genes in which mutations cause familial PD, parkin and UCH-L1, are involved in regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, suggesting that dysregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the mechanism by which these mutations cause PD [7].
  • METHODS: Neurones were counted in whole mount preparations of rat ileum stained immunohistochemically for the pan-neuronal marker PGP9.5, for choline acetyltransferase, or for nitric oxide synthase, or with NADH or NADPH histochemistry [8].
  • Cells immunoreactive for CGRP or for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), a general marker of nerves and endocrine cells, were quantified in sections of lungs from hypoxic (21 days, 10 per cent O2) and normoxic rats [9].
  • Here we show that overexpression of UCH L1 potentiated ATP-induced currents due to the activation of P2X receptors that are widely distributed in the brain and involved in various biological activities including neurosecretion [10].
 

Biological context of Uchl1

  • To begin to assess the role of the Ub system in the axon, we studied expression and axonal transport of Ub and other stress proteins, as well as of Ub carboxyl-terminal hydrolase PGP 9.5, in the rat visual system in normal conditions and following heat-shock (HS) [11].
  • Intraepidermal innervation using PGP 9.5 immunostaining and plantar nerve histology were assessed at the end of the 12-week study [12].
  • Northern blot analyses showed no change in ubiquitin or PGP9.5 gene expression in hippocampus or cerebellum [13].
  • Lower lip innervation was investigated by detection of the general neuronal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) and the growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), a neurochemical marker of neuronal plasticity [14].
  • During the morphogenesis, the PGP9.5 was expressed in the hair germ and hair peg elongated from the epidermis, and became restricted in the outer root sheath as the development progressed [15].
 

Anatomical context of Uchl1

  • The mRNA of PGP9.5 is most abundant in the rat brain and to a lesser degree in the testis [1].
  • In contrast to GAP-43, PGP-9.5-positive nerve fibers were observed only occasionally at 3 days postfracture but gradually increased in number from day 14 to 21 [2].
  • Postnatal development of periodontal ruffini endings in rat incisors: an immunoelectron microscopic study using protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) antibody [16].
  • 131I-MIBG uptake pattern was compared with histopathological results, the neuronal population on PGP 9.5 immunohistochemistry and the degree of myocyte damage assessed using a visual scoring system on haematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining [3].
  • PGP 9.5-like immunofluorescence was also moderately expressed in apparent Schwann cells, in Merkel cells only in the external root sheath of vibrissal follicles, and in apparent dendritic and/or Langerhans cells usually located in the epidermis and occasionally in the follicles [17].

Other interactions of Uchl1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Uchl1

  • Western blotting using an anti-rat PGP9.5 antibody revealed the parallel distribution of mRNA and protein in various brain regions and testis [1].
  • Immunohistochemistry of the adult rat kidney for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), a neuron-specific ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase, demonstrated selective localization of the immunoreactivity in PEC [26].
  • RESULTS: PGP 9.5-positive neural structures were significantly reduced in grafts removed 1.5 and 3 months after transplantation compared with native kidneys with slightly increased numbers at 6 and 9 months after transplantation [19].
  • PGP 9.5-like immunofluorescence persisted in highly vacuolated profiles along the usual courses of medium to large-caliber axons 2 weeks after nerve transection [17].
  • RESULTS: In the nerve crush group, PGP9.5 positive nerves were decreased in number at 3 and 7 days, and then increased after 14 days in the muscle layer of the operated side [27].
