The role of chromogranin B in an animal model of multiple sclerosis

Abstract: Chromogranin B (CGB) is a high capacity, low affinity calcium binding protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that binds to the inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) and amplifies calcium release from ER stores. Recently, it was discovered that levels of CGB-derived peptides are decreased in the cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. One of the mechanisms by which neurodegeneration in MS is thought to occur is through increased levels of intra-axonal calcium. The combination of exc… Show more

“…Increased levels of Sg1 could cause increased cytosolic calcium levels which further activates calcium dependent proteases, like calpain. These proteases can cleave the intracellular calcium channel 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor type I which results in a further increase of the cytosolic calcium levels .…”

“…Lastly, ITPR3 is a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane that increases the release of calcium from the ER to the cytoplasm of neurons. This triggers a downstream signaling cascade that can eventually result in neuronal death/neurodegeneration in both the EAE mouse model of MS [ 69 ] and stem cell-derived neurons from MS patients [ 70 ], as sustained high calcium levels in cells/neurons are highly toxic.…”
