Mutant huntingtin reduces vesicular zinc level by inhibiting the binding of Sp1 to ZnT3 promoter

Abstract: Background Synaptic dysfunction caused by mutant huntingtin greatly contributes to Huntington’s disease (HD) pathogenesis. HD patients show cognitive impairment as well as uncontrolled movements. Vesicular zinc is closely linked to modulating synaptic transmission and maintaining cognitive ability. However, whether does mutant huntingtin affect zinc homeostasis in the brain or not? This will be of great significance for further revealing the pathogenesis of HD. Methods N171-HD82Q transgenic mice and cultured… Show more
