An antibody raised against isolated paired helical filaments (PHF) was used to identify tangle-bearing (PHF+) neurons in autopsy brain tissue from six Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and six age-matched controls (AMC). A comparison of the levels of polyadenylated messenger RNA [poly(A)+ mRNA] in PHF+ and PHF- neurons of similar cross-sectional area in temporal and parietal lobe and cerebellum from four AD and four AMC brains was made by analysis of in situ hybridization of [3H] polyuridylate [poly(U)] to intracellular poly(A)+ mRNA. In PHF+ neurons, the level of poly(A)+ mRNA was approximately two-thirds that in similar-sized PHF- neurons in either AD or AMC. The level of poly(A)+ mRNA in PHF- neurons in regions of the brain that have more of the histopathologically defined effect in AD was similar to that in regions with less effects.
用针对分离出的双螺旋丝(PHF)产生的抗体,来鉴定6例阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者和6例年龄匹配的对照者(AMC)尸检脑组织中含有缠结(PHF+)的神经元。通过分析[3H]聚尿苷酸[poly(U)]与细胞内聚腺苷酸加尾mRNA[poly(A)+ mRNA]的原位杂交,对来自4例AD和4例AMC大脑的颞叶、顶叶和小脑横截面面积相似的PHF+和PHF-神经元中的聚腺苷酸加尾信使RNA[poly(A)+ mRNA]水平进行了比较。在PHF+神经元中,poly(A)+ mRNA水平约为AD或AMC中横截面面积相似的PHF-神经元的三分之二。在AD中具有更多组织病理学定义效应的脑区中,PHF-神经元的poly(A)+ mRNA水平与效应较小区域中的相似。
