Atlanta: Sep 28, 2007. pg. 208 Abstract (Summary) SEP 28 - (NewsRx.com</a>) -- Data detailed in " Oral curcumin mitigates the clinical and neuropathologic phenotype of the Trembler- J mouse: a potential therapy for inherited neuropathy " have been presented (see also Neuropathy Therapy</a>). " Mutations in myelin genes cause inherited peripheral neuropathies that range in severity from adult-onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 to childhood- onset Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy. » Jump to indexing (document details) Full Text (371 words) ©Copyright 2007, Genomics & Genetics Weekly via NewsRx.com 2007 SEP 28 - (NewsRx.com</a>) -- Data detailed in " Oral curcumin mitigates the clinical and neuropathologic phenotype of the Trembler- J mouse: a potential therapy for inherited neuropathy " have been presented (see also Neuropathy Therapy</a>). " Mutations in myelin genes cause inherited peripheral neuropathies that range in severity from adult-onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 to childhood- onset Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy. Many myelin gene mutants that cause severe disease, such as those in the myelin protein zero gene (MPZ) and the peripheral myelin protein 22 gene (PMP22), appear to make aberrant proteins that accumulate primarily within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), resulting in Schwann cell death by apoptosis and, subsequently, peripheral neuropathy, " scientists in the United States report. " We previously showed that curcumin supplementation could abrogate ER retention and aggregation-induced apoptosis associated with neuropathy-causing MPZ mutants. We now show reduced apoptosis after curcumin treatment of cells in tissue culture that express PMP22 mutants. Furthermore, we demonstrate that oral administration of curcumin partially mitigates the severe neuropathy phenotype of the Trembler-J mouse model in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of curcumin significantly decreases the percentage of apoptotic Schwann cells and results in increased number and size of myelinated axons in sciatic nerves, leading to improved motor performance, " wrote M. Khajavi and colleagues, Baylor College of Medicine. The researchers concluded: " Our findings indicate that curcumin treatment is sufficient to relieve the toxic effect of mutant aggregation-induced apoptosis and improves the neuropathologic phenotype in an animal model of human neuropathy, suggesting a potential therapeutic role in selected forms of inherited peripheral neuropathies. " Khajavi and colleagues published their study in The American Journal of Human Genetics (Oral curcumin mitigates the clinical and neuropathologic phenotype of the Trembler-J mouse: a potential therapy for inherited neuropathy. The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2007;81(3):438-53). For more information, contact M. Khajavi, Baylor College of Medicine, Dept. of Molecular and Human Genetics, Houston, TX 77030 USA..
