Disease relevance of PSPN

  • In conclusion, it is shown that GDNF but not persephin is a potent proliferation factor for rat glioma cells [1].
  • We have recently examined the MAPT locus in progressive supranuclear palsy and found that a haplotype (H1c) on the background of the well-described H1 clade is associated with PSP [2].
  • Thus, although a decreased PSP/ESV ratio was associated with a higher mortality rate, other clinical and laboratory variables were superior to this index for determining morbidity and mortality in patients with isolated mitral insufficiency [3].
  • Can imaging distinguish PSP from other neurodegenerative disorders [4]?
  • Poorly soluble particles of low toxicity (PSP), such as CB, TiO(2) and coal mine dust, have been demonstrated to cause lung cancer in rodents, being most pronounced in rats [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on PSPN

 

High impact information on PSPN

  • The mechanosensory afferents and interneurons are excited by sensory nerve shock, and the components of the resulting LG PSP can be similarly modulated by the same postsynaptic potential changes [10].
  • Here we characterize the human GFRalpha4 as the ligand-binding subunit required together with RET for PSPN signaling [11].
  • GFR alpha-4 and the tyrosine kinase Ret form a functional receptor complex for persephin [12].
  • There were also significant correlations with serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and PSP (r = 0.6, 0.63, and -0.62, respectively) [13].
  • The ratio of peak systolic pressure to end-systolic volume (PSP/ESV) is a measure of contractility that is relatively independent of loading conditions [3].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of PSPN

 

Biological context of PSPN

 

Anatomical context of PSPN

  • In spite of this, PSPN/mGFRalpha4 promotes neurite outgrowth in PC6-3 cells and survival of cerebellar granule neurons [16].
  • NTN and persephin mRNA were not detected in either the fetal spinal cord or the dorsal root ganglia. mRNA coding for GFRalpha-2, however, was found in most cells of the spinal cord gray matter [20].
  • GDNF, neurturin, persephin, nodal, and TGFbeta1 all protected against excitotoxic motor neuron degeneration [21].
  • RSP and PSP stimulated 3H-thymidine incorporation by fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner [22].
  • The presence of low frequency drives (< 4 Hz) in the bilateral PSP condition and its absence in the bilateral FDI condition is consistent with a bilateral drive to axial, but not distal, musculature by the motor pathways responsible for this oscillatory input [23].
 

Associations of PSPN with chemical compounds

  • Protein expression analysis using a C-terminal targeted antibody showed that 13 PSP were negative for p21/WAF1 expression after ionizing radiation (6 Gy) or doxorubicin (100 nM) treatment [24].
  • A homology cloning approach targeting conserved motifs present in all serine proteases, was used to identify candidate serine proteases involved in these processes, and revealed 5 genes (acrosin, testisin, neurosin, PSP and neurotrypsin), none of which had been associated previously with expression in endothelial cells [25].
  • Similar values were obtained with the three beta-lactams against PSP but against PRP only the serum of volunteers that had taken amoxycillin exhibited serum bactericidal titres of > or = 8 [26].
  • An interlaboratory exercise has been organized by the CRLMB to evaluate its "fitness for purpose" for the Official Control of PSP toxins in the EU laboratories [27].
  • The PSP S could play that role, since an activity inhibiting the nucleation and growth in vitro of CaCO3 crystals was found in pancreatic juice, associated with these proteins [28].
 

Other interactions of PSPN

  • In contrast, only NRTN treatment significantly increased 5-HT-ir cells densities at 10 ng/ml (1.3-fold), while an augmentation was seen for GDNF and PSPN at 100 ng/ml (2.4-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively) [29].
  • Unlike GDNF, however, persephin increased neurite outgrowth from oculomotor nuclei in vitro [30].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PSPN

  • Furthermore, neurite outgrowth from pheochromocytoma cells (PC-12), a functional bioassay for NGF-like activity, was stimulated by addition of RSP and PSP to the culture media of the PC-12 cells [22].
  • Subsequently, a Western blot analysis with the NGF antibody identified two immunoreactive bands of 41 +/- 2 kDa and 51 +/- 1 kDa in both RSP and PSP under reduced conditions [22].
  • The present study provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in PSP-induced apoptosis in leukemic HL-60 cells analyzed by cDNA microarray [31].
  • METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis on 126 consecutive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) procedures in 113 patients treated for stage I recurrent PSP between January 1994 and December 2001 [32].
  • The HPLC validated method is only applicable for Official PSP Control for certain samples [27].
