Abstract

Polyglutamine protein aggregation is associated with eight inherited neurodegenerative disorders. In Huntington's disease, N-terminal fragments of mutant huntingtin form intracellular aggregates and mediate cellular toxicity. Recent studies have shown that chaperones inhibit polyglutamine-mediated aggregation and cellular toxicity. Because chaperones also inhibit caspase activation to protect cells from death, it remains unclear whether the protective effect of chaperones on polyglutamine-mediated cellular toxicity is dependent on their inhibition of protein aggregation. In this study, we show that several chaperones including HSP 40, HSP 70, and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor can inhibit cellular toxicity caused by N-terminal mutant huntingtin fragments. However, only HSP 40 is able to inhibit huntingtin aggregation. Furthermore, time-course study suggests that the protection of chaperones against huntingtin toxicity is not the result of their suppression of huntingtin aggregation. Chaperones inhibit caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation mediated by mutant huntingtin, and this inhibition is independent of huntingtin aggregation. We propose that the inhibition of caspase activity by chaperones is involved in their suppression o...Continue Reading
