1.14.14.25 | malfunction | CYP46A1 expression levels are reduced in Huntington's disease. CYP46A1 protein levels are decreased in the putamen, but not cerebral cortex samples, of post-mortem Huntington's disease patients when compared to controls. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by abnormal polyglutamine expansion in huntingtin leading to degeneration of striatal neurons. Altered brain cholesterol homeostasis is implicated in Huntington's disease, with increased accumulation of cholesterol in striatal neurons yet reduced levels of cholesterol metabolic precursors | Homo sapiens |
1.14.14.25 | malfunction | knocking down CYP46A1 expression in the striatum, via an adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of selective shCYP46A1, reproduced the Huntingtons disease phenotype, with spontaneous striatal neuron degeneration and motor deficits. CYP46A1 expression levels are reduced in Huntington's disease. In the R6/2 Huntington's disease mouse model, adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of CYP46A1 into the striatum decreases neuronal atrophy, decreases the number, intensity level and size of expansion in huntingtin aggregates and improves motor deficits, as assessed by rotarod and clasping behavioural tests. Adeno-associated virus-CYP46A1 infection in R6/2 mice also restores levels of cholesterol and lanosterol and increases levels of desmosterol | Mus musculus |
