Deregulated Splicing Is a Major Mechanism of RNA-Induced Toxicity in Huntington's Disease.
2019
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, translating into an elongated polyglutamine stretch. In addition to the neurotoxic mutant HTT protein, the mutant CAG repeat RNA can exert toxic functions by trapping RNA-binding proteins. While few examples of proteins that aberrantly bind to mutant HTT RNA and execute abnormal function in conjunction with the CAG repeat RNA have been described, an unbiased approach to identify the interactome of mutant HTT RNA is missing. Here, we describe the analysis of proteins that preferentially bind mutant HTT RNA using a mass spectrometry approach. We show that (I) the majority of proteins captured by mutant…
Mesolithic pit-sites in Champagne (France): First data, key issues
2015
International audience; In less than a decade, more than 30 sites and around 200 deep pits dated to the Mesolithic have been identied in the Champagne-Ardenne region (north-eastern France). This paper describes the main characteristics of these features and provides some clues for their interpretation. This unexpected but apparently common type of site clearly implies a more marked territoriality and a greater social complexity than generally proposed for the period in continental northern France.

La enfermedad de Huntington infantil en la escuela
2012
Hemos asumido el reto de dar respuesta a las necesidades socioeducativas y sanitarias derivadas de las Enfermedades Raras debido a que el alumnado con este tipo de enfermedades también constituye un grupo importante de población desde el punto de vista de los servicios sanitarios y socioeducativos. En esta comunicación se describen las secuelas asociadas a la Enfermedad de Huntington Juvenil, las necesidades educativas especiales, y la respuesta educativa adecuada a estas necesidades. Sus síntomas presentan desafíos únicos en los individuos afectados, a las personas que cuidan de ellos y a los diferentes profesionales que los atienden. Sin embargo, aunque la Enfermedad de Huntington Juvenil…
Polymorphism of Amyloid Fibrils and their Complexes with Catalase
2014
Catalase binding to amyloid fibrils has been shown for the Alzheimer’s amyloid-β (Aβ), type 2 diabetes-associated islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease-associated prion protein (PrP). Catalase targets a specific domain with a GAII-like sequence and there are a number of other amyloid fibril-forming proteins that contain related sequences, such as the Parkinson’s associated α-synuclein protein and the Huntington disease protein Huntingtin. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, interactions show specific binding of catalase to some, but not all, fibrillar forms of Aβ, IAPP and PrP fragments, allowing determination of the fibrillar forms that contain a…
Transformacja Polskiego Związku Łowieckiego w świetle ewolucji modelu łowiectwa w Polsce
2020
The Polish Hunting Association is a nationwide organization of Polish hunters and hunting clubs, whose traditions date back to the interwar period. This study presents the genesis and evolution of the Polish Hunting Association, which, in the wake of social and political changes in the country, has been transformed from a voluntary association into a monopolistic and compulsory-membership organization, which is to carry out tasks commissioned by public authorities. Additionally, as a result of further amendments, the Association has been transformed into a governmental agency, organizationally subordinated to the minister of the environment also in the scope of appointing its high-rank staf…
Intensive Management and Natural Genetic Variation in Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)
2017
The current magnitude of big-game hunting has outpaced the natural growth of populations, making artificial breeding necessary to rapidly boost hunted populations. In this study, we evaluated if the rapid increase of red deer (Cervus elaphus) abundance, caused by the growing popularity of big-game hunting, has impacted the natural genetic diversity of the species. We compared several genetic diversity metrics between 37 fenced populations subject to intensive management and 21 wild free-ranging populations. We also included a historically protected population from a national park as a baseline for comparisons. Contrary to expectations, our results showed no significant differences in geneti…
L'alimentation carnée à Aventicum/Avenches capitale des Helvètes (Ier s. - IVe s. apr. J.-C.) Suisse, canton de Vaud
2010
This first synthesis concerns the animal bones, discovered since 1975 in Aventicum, the capital of Roman Switzerland. It is supported by the analysis of several residential districts, public sectors and suburbs, which represent five hundred chronological complexes and 74000 animal bones, dated from the Ist, to the IVth Century AD. During these centuries, Aventicum was incorporated to the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, then was raised to the status of a colonia and finally declined with the Empire.The analysis of bones was made to study various mutations which occurred during the occupation of the city. They include an improvement of breeding techniques, a new internal city organisation, …
Polska kultura łowiecka jako niematerialne dziedzictwo kulturowe
2021
Pod koniec średniowiecza kultura łowiecka, czerpiąca z etosu rycerskiego, stała się ważnym składnikiem obyczajowości dworskiej, aby w następnych wiekach wpisać się w życie polskiego ziemiaństwa. Mimo wpływów zwłaszcza niemieckich, zachowała odrębność i narodowy charakter, które powodowały, że w czasach zaborów i II Rzeczypospolitej była jednym z czynników kształtujących świadomość narodową. Jej zasadnicze przejawy niszczono w czasach komunizmu, a mimo to przetrwała i została z sukcesem odbudowana w latach 90. XX w., stanowiąc źródło tożsamości wspólnotowej dla ponad 120 tys. myśliwych oraz członków ich rodzin. Polska kultura łowiecka obejmuje zasady etycznego postępowania względem przyrody,…
RNA Sequencing of Human Peripheral Blood Cells Indicates Upregulation of Immune-Related Genes in Huntington's Disease
2020
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion in the Huntingtin gene. As disease-modifying therapies for HD are being developed, peripheral blood cells may be used to indicate disease progression and to monitor treatment response. In order to investigate whether gene expression changes can be found in the blood of individuals with HD that distinguish them from healthy controls, we performed transcriptome analysis by next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq). We detected a gene expression signature consistent with dysregulation of immune-related functions and inflammatory response in peripheral blood from HD ca…
