• Note (General): Background: The neuropathology of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD) is usually investigated using formalin-fixed and formic acid-treated brain tissue. However, formalin and formic acid treatment can interfere with immunostaining of abnormal prion protein. Therefore, there is a need for biochemical methods other than immunostaining to investigate abnormal prion protein in postmortem tissue. We developed RT-QuIC to quantitate the seeding activity (SD50) of sCJD brain tissue treated with formalin and formic acid.Methods: We used endpoint RT-QuIC assays to analyze SD50 in formalin-fixed brain tissue from 19 sCJD patients (14 MM1 cases, 3 MM2-thalamic form [MM2T] cases and 2 MM2-cortical form [MM2C] cases) diagnosed according to Parchi's classification. We assessed SD50 in brains after incubation in formalin solution for over 1 month, and after treating formalin-fixed brain tissue with formic acid. We also examined how the SD50 values from formalin-fixed brain samples compared with neuropathological and immunohistochemical findings.Results: The SD50 values of formalin-fixed brain samples from 14 MM1 cases, 2 MM2C cases, and 2 MM2T cases were 107.77±0.57/g tissue, 107.44±0.24/g tissue and 106.00±0.77/g tissue, respectively. The average SD50 value in MM1 unfixed brains decreased by 102.04 after formalin fixation for 1 month. In MM1 cases, after combined formalin and formic acid treatment, the SD50 value was reduced by approximately 105.16 compared with that of unfixed tissue. The SD50 values of formalin-fixed tissue showed a consistent pattern with the neuropathological findings in most brain regions examined.Conclusion: RT-QuIC enables the study of formalin-fixed brain tissue from sCJD patients that has not previously been amenable to analysis.; 博(医歯薬)甲第1468号 学位授与年月日:令和4年9月16日; Author: Thi-Thu-Trang Dong, Akio Akagi, Toshiaki Nonaka, Takehiro Nakagaki, Ban Mihara, Masaki Takao, Yasushi Iwasaki, Noriyuki Nishida, Katsuya Satoh; Citation: Neurobiology of Disease, 159, art.no. 105504; 2021; identifier:Nagasaki University (長崎大学), 博士(医学) (2022-09-16)
