Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a movement disorder caused by a mutation in the Huntingtin gene that leads to severe neurodegeneration. Molecular mechanisms of HD are not sufficiently understood, and no cure is currently available. Here, we demonstrate neuroprotective effects of hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) in cellular and mouse HD models. We show that HD-vulnerable neurons in the striatum and cortex express lower levels of HDGF than resistant ones. Moreover, lack of endogenous HDGF exacerbated motor impairments and reduced the life span of R6/2 Huntington's disease mice. AAV-mediated delivery of HDGF into the brain reduced mutant Huntingtin inclusion load, but had no significant effect on motor behavior or life span. Interestingly, both nuclear and cytoplasmic versions of HDGF were efficient in rescuing mutant Huntingtin toxicity in cellular HD models. Moreover, extracellular application of recombinant HDGF improved viability of mutant Huntingtin-expressing primary neurons and reduced mutant Huntingtin aggregation in neural progenitor cells differentiated from human patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Our findings provide new insights into the pathomechanisms of HD and demonstrate neuroprotective potential of HDGF in neurodegeneration.

[description_short] => Une méthode simple pour quantifier objectivement la force musculaire des rats et souris et l'effet de drogues, toxines, maladies musculaires (ex: myopathie) et neurodégénératives. Cette mesure de force est souvent employée en association avec le test de coordination motrice ROTAROD: un sujet présentant une coordination normale montrera des résultats médiocres en cas de faible force musculaire. Un must pour vos recherches sur l'activité, la coordination et le contrôle musculaire: particulièrement utile pour vos études sur les maladies de Parkinson et Huntington.
