- Abstract
Numerous neurodegenerative diseases are accompanied by highly insoluble inclusions of protein aggregates within characteristic neuronal populations. Recent in vitro studies have advanced new aspects of protein aggregates and their cytotoxicity. Aggregations of unfolded proteins escape the cellular quality-control system, such as chaperone and proteasome, which is a common feature of aggregates-associated neurodegeneration. Based on this idea, several factors may provide protein aggregates-favoring conditions that are closely involved in progression of diseases. In particular, we focused on polyunsaturated fatty acids as an important modulator for unfolded protein-aggregation in relation to disease pathogenesis.
