Abnormal Expansion

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by abnormal expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats. Neuroinflammation is a typical feature of most neurodegenerative diseases that leads to an array of pathological changes within the affected areas in the brain. The neurodegeneration in HD is also caused by aberrant immune response in the presence of aggregated mutant huntingtin protein. The effects of immune activation in HD nervous system are a relatively unexplored area of research. This paper summarises immunological features associated with development and progression of HD.

Protein Models

A growing number of neurodegenerative diseases are caused by expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats coding for polyglutamine. The presence of intranuclear inclusions in the affected neuronal cells has suggested a mechanism for pathogenesis based on protein misfolding and aggregation. Detailed understanding of these phenomena is therefore crucial in order to rationalize different phases of the diseases. In the past decade, a few studies have focused on the structural properties of polyglutamine and on the molecular bases of the aggregation process. Most of these studies have been performed on polyglutamine peptides and protein models. Only one report is currently available on the characterization of a full-length polyglutamine protein. The structural hypotheses resulting from these studies are reviewed here.
