Global transcriptomic profiling of lactacystin-mediated neuronal death

ABSTRACT: Inhibition of proteasome degradation pathway has been implicated in neuronal cell death leading to neurodegenerative diseases such as ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease and AlzheimerM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease. Pharmacological proteasomal inhibitors such as lactacystin can induce apoptosis in cultured mouse cortical neurons through the activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, proteasomal inhibitors are also reported to mediate deleterious alterations in cell cycle regulation, inflammatory processes and protein aggregation and trigger the cell death pathway. We discovered by microarray analysis that lactacystin treatment modulates the expression of both potentially neuroprotective as well as pro-apoptotic genes in neurons. However, the genes, upon transcriptional modulation, contribute to proteasomal i
