Title
The iron-binding protein lactotransferrin is present in pathologic lesions
in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders: a comparative
immunohistochemical analysis.
Source
Brain Research. 650(1):20-31, 1994 Jul 4.
Abstract
Lactotransferrin is a glycoprotein that specifically binds and transports
iron. This protein is also believed to transport other metals such as
aluminum. Several lines of evidence indicate that iron and aluminum are
involved in the pathogenesis of many dementing diseases. In this context,
the analysis of the iron-binding protein distribution in the brains of
patients affected by neurodegenerative disorders is of particular
interest. In the present study, the distribution of lactotransferrin was
analyzed by immunohistochemistry in the cerebral cortex from patients
presenting with Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam, sporadic amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, or Pick's disease. The results show that
lactotransferrin accumulates in the characteristic lesions of the
different pathologic conditions investigated. For instance, in Alzheimer's
disease and Guamanian cases, a subpopulation of neurofibrillary tangles
was intensely labeled in the hippocampal formation and inferior temporal
cortex. Senile plaques and Pick bodies were also consistently labeled.
These staining patterns were comparable to those obtained with antibodies
to the microtubule-associated protein tau and the amyloid beta A4 protein,
although generally fewer neurofibrillary tangles were positive for
lactotransferrin than for tau protein. Neuronal cytoplasmic staining with
lactotransferrin antibodies, was observed in a subpopulation of pyramidal
neurons in normal aging, and was more pronounced in Alzheimer's disease,
Guamanian cases, Pick's disease, and particularly in Down syndrome.
Lactotransferrin was also strongly associated with Betz cells and other
motoneurons in the primary motor cortex of control, Alzheimer's disease,
Down syndrome, Guamanian and Pick's disease cases. These same
lactotransferrin-immunoreactive motoneurons were severely affected in the
cases with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is possible that in these
neurodegenerative disorders affected neurons either take up or synthesize
lactotransferrin to an abnormally elevated rate. An excessive accumulation
of lactotransferrin, as well as transported iron and aluminum, may lead to
a cytotoxic effect resulting in the formation of intracellular lesions and
neuronal death.

Title
Concentrations of zinc and iron in the brains of Guamanian patients with
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and parkinsonism-dementia.
Source
Neurotoxicology. 14(4):445-50, 1993 Winter.
Abstract
Simultaneous measurements of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) concentrations were
determined using neutron activation analysis in gray and white matter of
the frontal and occipital regions obtained from four patients with
parkinsonism-dementia (PD), eight with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), and four neurologically normal controls from Guam. Zn content in
gray matter from the frontal cortex in ALS and PD cases was significantly
decreased, compared with that of controls (p < 0.05). No significant
differences were found in the Zn content of white matter from the frontal
cortex, and/or gray and white matter from the occipital cortex between the
groups. The Zn content in gray matter from both frontal and occipital
regions was less in ALS and PD patients than in controls. Fe content in
gray matter from the frontal cortex of ALS and PD increased significantly
compared with that of controls (p < 0.05). Fe content in white matter from
the frontal cortex in PD patients was greater than in controls (p < 0.05),
with an overall difference: controls < ALS < PD. These data indicate that
an increase in Fe in gray and white matter, and a decrease concentration
of Zn in gray matter, combined with an excess and deficiency of
bioavailable aluminum and calcium, respectively, may be involved in the
pathogenic process of these disorders.

Title
Parkinson's disease: a test of the multifactorial etiologic hypothesis.
Source
Neurology. 43(6):1173-80, 1993 Jun.
Abstract
We studied the relative etiologic importance upon the development of
Parkinson's disease (PD) of occupational exposure to herbicides and other
compounds, ionizing radiation exposure, family history of PD and essential
tremor, smoking, and history of various viral and other medical
conditions. We identified patients (n = 130) with neurologist-confirmed
idiopathic PD through contacts with Calgary general hospitals, long-term
care facilities, neurologists, the Movement Disorder Clinic, and the
Parkinson's Society of Southern Alberta, and selected two matched (by sex
and age +/- 2.5 years) community controls for each case by random digit
dialing. We obtained lifetime work, chemical, radiation, medical, and
smoking exposure histories and family histories of PD and essential tremor
by personal interviews, and analyzed the data using conditional logistic
regression for matched sets. After controlling for potential confounding
and interaction between the exposure variables, using multivariate
statistical methods, having a family history of PD was the strongest
predictor of PD risk, followed by head trauma and then occupational
herbicide use. Cases and controls did not differ in their previous
exposures to smoking or ionizing radiation; family history of essential
tremor; work-related contact with aluminum, carbon monoxide, cyanide,
manganese, mercury, or mineral oils; or history of arteriosclerosis,
chicken pox, encephalitis, hypertension, hypotension, measles, mumps,
rubella, or Spanish flu. These results support the hypothesis of a
multifactorial etiology for PD, probably involving genetic, environmental,
trauma, and possibly other factors.

Title
Probing modifications of the neuronal cytoskeleton. [Review]
Source
Molecular Neurobiology. 7(3-4):265-91, 1993 Fall-Winter.
Abstract
The prominent death of central neurons in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is
reflected by changes in cell shape and by the formation of characteristic
cytoskeletal inclusions (neurofibrillary tangles, Lewy bodies). This
review focuses on the biology of neurofilaments and microtubule-associated
proteins and identifies changes that can occur to these elements from
basic and clinical research perspectives. Attention is directed at certain
advances in neurobiology that have been especially integral to the
identification of epitope domains, protein isoforms, and posttranslational
(phosphorylation) events related to the composition, development, and
structure of the common cytoskeletal modifications. Recently, a number of
experimental strategies have emerged to simulate the aberrant changes in
neurodegenerative disorders and gain insight into possible molecular
events that contribute to alterations of the cytoskeleton. Descriptions of
specific systems used to induce modifications are presented. In
particular, unique neural transplantation methods in animals have been
used to probe possible molecular and cellular conditions concerned with
abnormal cytoskeletal changes in neurons. [References: 255]

Title
A rationale for monoamine oxidase inhibition as neuroprotective therapy
for Parkinson's disease. [Review]
Source
Movement Disorders. 8 Suppl 1:S1-7, 1993.
Abstract
Neurons in the substantia nigra may be vulnerable to oxidant stress
because (a) the metabolism of dopamine generates peroxides, which, in the
presence of iron, can lead to the formation of the highly reactive
hydroxyl free radical; and (b) neuromelanin within nigral neurons can bind
metals such as iron and aluminum and thereby promote the site-specific
formation of free radicals. Postmortem studies show increased iron,
decreased glutathione, and increased lipid peroxidation in the substantia
nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies also
report iron and aluminum accumulation within neuromelanin granules of
patients with PD. These findings suggest that the substantia nigra in the
patient with PD is in a state of oxidant stress and that antioxidant
therapy might protect residual dopamine neurons and slow the natural
progression of PD. Selective inhibitors of monoamine oxidase type B
(MAO-B) have been chosen for study because of their capacity to interfere
with the oxidative metabolism of dopamine and so diminish the likelihood
that free radicals will be formed. Initial studies demonstrate that the
MAO-B inhibitor L-deprenyl (selegiline) delays the development of
disability in otherwise untreated patients with early Parkinson's disease.
Although the mechanism responsible for these observations remains unclear,
these results are consistent with the possibility that L-deprenyl provides
neuroprotective effects. [References: 46]

Neuromelanin-containing neurons of the substantia nigra accumulate iron
and aluminum in Parkinson's disease: a LAMMA study.
Source
Brain Research. 593(2):343-6, 1992 Oct 16.
Abstract
The Laser Microprobe Mass Analyzer (LAMMA) is a sensitive instrument for
identifying and localizing trace elements in tissue samples. Using LAMMA,
we have examined melanin-containing neurons of the substantia nigra in
patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and controls. We found that iron
significantly accumulates within neuromelanin granules of patients with PD
compared to controls. Increased aluminum was found in the neuromelanin
granules of 2 of 3 PD cases but in no controls. The accumulation of iron
and aluminum, which are known to promote oxidant stress, may account for
the selective degeneration of neuromelanin-containing neurons in PD.

Title
The cellular toxicity of aluminium.
Source
Journal of Theoretical Biology. 159(1):83-98, 1992 Nov 7.
Abstract
Aluminium is a serious environmental toxicant and is inimical to biota.
Omnipresent, it is linked with a number of disorders in man including
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's dementia and osteomalacia. Evidence
supporting aluminium as an aetiological agent in such disorders is not
conclusive and suffers principally from a lack of consensus with respect
to aluminium's toxic mode of action. Obligatory to the elucidation of
toxic mechanisms is an understanding of the biological availability of
aluminium. This describes the fate of and response to aluminium in any
biological system and is thus an important influence of the toxicity of
aluminium. A general theme in much aluminium toxicity is an accelerated
cell death. Herein mechanisms are described to account for cell death from
both acute and chronic aluminium challenges. Aluminium associations with
both extracellular surfaces and intracellular ligands are implicated. The
cellular response to aluminium is found to be biphasic having both
stimulatory and inhibitory components. In either case the disruption of
second messenger systems is observed and GTPase cycles are potential
target sites. Specific ligands for aluminium at these sites are unknown
though are likely to be proteins upon which oxygen-based functional groups
are orientated to give exceptionally strong binding with the free
aluminium ion.

Title
Reactive oxygen species and the central nervous system. [Review]
Source
Journal of Neurochemistry. 59(5):1609-23, 1992 Nov.
Abstract
Radicals are species containing one or more unpaired electrons, such as
nitric oxide (NO.). The oxygen radical superoxide (O2.-) and the
nonradical hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are produced during normal metabolism
and perform several useful functions. Excessive production of O2.- and
H2O2 can result in tissue damage, which often involves generation of
highly reactive hydroxyl radical (.OH) and other oxidants in the presence
of "catalytic" iron or copper ions. An important form of antioxidant
defense is the storage and transport of iron and copper ions in forms that
will not catalyze formation of reactive radicals. Tissue injury, e.g., by
ischemia or trauma, can cause increased metal ion availability and
accelerate free radical reactions. This may be especially important in the
brain because areas of this organ are rich in iron and CSF cannot bind
released iron ions. Oxidative stress on nervous tissue can produce damage
by several interacting mechanisms, including increases in intracellular
free Ca2+ and, possibly, release of excitatory amino acids. Recent
suggestions that free radical reactions are involved in the neurotoxicity
of aluminum and in damage to the substantia nigra in patients with
Parkinson's disease are reviewed. Finally, the nature of antioxidants is
discussed, it being suggested that antioxidant enzymes and chelators of
transition metal ions may be more generally useful protective agents than
chain-breaking antioxidants. Careful precautions must be used in the
design of antioxidants for therapeutic use. [References: 183]

Calcium, magnesium and aluminum concentrations in Parkinson's disease.
Source
Neurotoxicology. 13(3):593-600, 1992 Fall.
Abstract
Concentrations of calcium (Ca) and aluminum (Al) were measured by neutron
activation analysis and that of magnesium (Mg) by inductively coupled
plasma emission spectrometry in 26 regions of Parkinson's disease (PD) and
control brains. Ca concentration was unchanged in all anatomic subregions
of PD brains compared with control brains. Mg concentration was lower in
cortex, white matter, basal ganglia and brain stem of PD brains compared
to control brains (p < 0.01). Al concentration in the substantia nigra,
caudate nucleus and globus pallidus was higher in PD brains compared to
controls (p < 0.05) and significantly higher in gray matter and the basal
ganglia (p < 0.01). These studies are consistent with other observations
linking high concentrations of Al and low levels of Mg in the pathogenesis
of CNS degeneration and PD.

Title
Aluminium and the neurofibrillary tangle: results of tissue microprobe
studies. [Review]
Source
Ciba Foundation Symposium. 169:217-27; discussion 227-36, 1992.
Abstract
Despite the contradictory results of studies attempting to compare the
bulk brain tissue aluminium content of specimens from Alzheimer's disease
patients and controls, microprobe studies from our laboratory have
consistently documented evidence of selective accumulation of the element
within the neurofibrillary tangle-bearing cells associated with this
condition. Laser microprobe mass analysis (a highly sensitive and precise
technique for trace elemental microprobe analysis) has now demonstrated
that the most prominent aluminium accumulations occur within the
neurofibrillary tangle itself. Similar findings have been obtained from
microprobe studies of the neurofibrillary tangles which are a
characteristic feature of amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam. Although the
intraneuronal localization of aluminium in the Guam-derived specimens is
similar to that of Alzheimer's disease, the concentration of aluminium is
considerably higher than is encountered in Alzheimer's disease specimens.
We conclude that aluminium is an integral component of the neurofibrillary
tangle and raise the possibility that the cross-linking properties of this
highly reactive metal may stabilize the constituent cytoskeletal proteins
which make up this pathological structure. [References: 37]

Title
Aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. [Review]
Source
Ciba Foundation Symposium. 169:142-54; discussion 154-64, 1992.
Abstract
The hypothesis that aluminium (Al) is a cause of (or a risk factor in) the
development of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and
dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is based on studies by Wisniewski et
al, Klatzo et al and Terry & Pena in 1965 that showed that injection of
experimental animals with Al compounds induces the formation of NFT. Other
publications revealed that Al affects cognitive functions in experimental
animals and humans undergoing dialysis for renal failure. Electron probe
and laser microprobe mass analysis (LAMMA) studies have demonstrated the
presence of Al in NFT and cores of amyloid stars and nuclei of neurons in
AD patients. Other studies have indicated the association between
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Guam parkinsonism-dementia complex and Al in
the environment. A recent report suggests that the chelating agent
desferrioxamine slows the rate of cognitive decline in AD patients.
Extensive studies of the pathology of AD and Al-induced encephalopathy by
our group and others indicate that Al does not cause Alzheimer's disease
neuropathology. However, under certain conditions, cognition can be
affected when Al enters the brain. Therefore, for individuals with renal
failure or undergoing dialysis or individuals with a damaged blood-brain
barrier, the intake of Al should be controlled. [References: 46]

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) concentration in the 26 anatomic central nervous system
(CNS) regions, liver, kidney, spleen and heart of our patients with
Parkinson's disease, and five neurologically normal controls was measured
by a non-destructive neutron activation analysis (NAA), in order to
clarify the implication of Al on pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Al
concentration in substantia nigra, caudate nucleus and globus pallidus
increased in patients with Parkinson's disease more than that in controls
(p less than 0.05). There was a significant difference in Al concentration
of gray matter and basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease, compared with
those of controls (p less than 0.01). It is likely that high Al deposition
in pathological foci responsible for Parkinson's disease might be
implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Magnesium inhibits the harmful effects on plants of some toxic elements.
Source
Magnesium Research. 4(1):3-7, 1991 Mar.
Abstract
Cadmium and aluminium ions - especially in acid soils - are taken up by
plants which then become poisoned by them. As a result the roots of the
plants become deformed, and the green parts become chlorotic and
underdeveloped. The yield will thus be sharply reduced. Culture fluid and
culture pot experiments have shown that the toxic effects can be inhibited
by magnesium. Investigations have proved that the inhibition is
competitive and is based on the antagonism of cadmium and aluminium
towards magnesium. Toxic cadmium and aluminium concentrations in the soil
can be decreased by the use of non-acidifying fertilizers, and inhibited
or prevented with fertilizers containing magnesium, eg Agronit (28% N and
2.5% Mg) or Kardonit (28% N and 5.5% Mg) (Borsod Chemical Works). Cadmium
and aluminium taken up by plants are equally detrimental to animal and
human organisms through the nutrition chain. For example cadmium may cause
sterility, while aluminium may be implicated in Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's disease. Magnesium moderates the effects of these two toxic
elements in the human organism as well as in plants.

Title
Iron and aluminum increase in the substantia nigra of patients with
Parkinson's disease: an X-ray microanalysis.
Source
Journal of Neurochemistry. 56(2):446-51, 1991 Feb.
Abstract
The levels of different elements were studied by x-ray microanalysis in
the substantia nigra and the central gray substance of patients with
Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and matched controls.
In control brains, only iron, potassium, silicum, sodium, sulfur, and zinc
were within the limit of detection of the technique. The abundance of each
element was different, but their respective concentrations in the two
brain regions were similar, except for sulfur levels which were higher on
neuromelanin aggregates in the substantia nigra than in nigral regions
lacking neuromelanin, and in the central gray substance. In Parkinson's
disease, but not in progressive supranuclear palsy, nigral iron levels
increased in regions devoid of neuromelanin and decreased on neuromelanin
aggregates, but were unchanged in the central gray substance, when
compared to control values. Concentrations of the other elements in the
central gray substance and substantia nigra were not different from
controls in brains from patients with Parkinson's disease and progressive
supranuclear palsy. Analysis of Lewy bodies in the parkinsonian substantia
nigra revealed high levels of iron and the presence of aluminum. Metal
abundance was not affected in progressive supranuclear palsy, in spite of
the nigral cell death. This suggests that the increased iron levels and
the detection of aluminum observed in Parkinson's disease are not solely
the consequence of the neuronal degeneration.

Pacific paradigms of environmentally-induced neurological disorders:
clinical, epidemiological and molecular perspectives. [Review]
Source
Neurotoxicology. 12(3):347-77, 1991 Fall.
Abstract
During the past quarter century biomedical scientists have begun to
recognize the unique opportunities for studying disease etiology and
mechanisms of pathogenesis in non-Western anthropological populations with
focal, endemic diseases. Such natural experiments as they are called, are
important paradigms for solving etiological and epidemiological problems
of widespread medical significance, with an ultimate goal towards
treatment and prevention. The systematic search for etiological factors
and mechanisms of pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders is perhaps
nowhere better exemplified than in the western Pacific. During the past
three decades, the opportunistic and multidisciplinary study of
hyperendemic foci of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and
parkinsonism-dementia which occur in different cultures, in different
ecological zones and among genetically divergent populations have served
as natural models that have had a major impact on our thinking and
enhanced our understanding of these and other neurodegenerative disorders
such as Alzheimer disease and the process of early neuronal aging. Our
cross-disciplinary approach to these intriguing neurobiological problems
and the accumulated epidemiological, genetic, cellular and molecular
evidence strongly implicates environmental factors in their causation,
specifically the role of aluminum and its interaction with calcium in
neuronal degeneration. As a direct consequence of our studies in these
Pacific populations, we have undertaken the long-term development of
experimental models of neuronal degeneration, in an attempt to understand
the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which these toxicants affect the
central nervous system. Our experimental studies have resulted in the
establishment of an aluminum-induced chronic myelopathy in rabbits and the
development of neurofilamentous lesions after low-dose aluminum
administration in cell culture. These studies clearly demonstrate the
philosophy that chronic rather than acute experimental models of toxicity
are necessary in order to enhance our understanding of human
neurodegenerative disorders with long-latency and slow progression.
Finally, the ultimate significance of these Pacific paradigms may well
depend on our ability to comprehensively evaluate and synthesize the
growing body of relevant scientific data from other human disorders and
from widely divergent academic fields, as well as our ability to recognize
emerging new models in nature. [References: 211]

A pilot study of occupational and environmental risk factors for
Parkinson's disease.
Source
Neurotoxicology. 12(3):387-92, 1991 Fall.
Abstract
Increasingly, the etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been linked to
exposures to environmental toxicants. This epidemiologic pilot study used
a self-administered questionnaire among 34 PD cases and 22 other neurology
clinic control patients. All subjects were at least 40 years old. Risk
factors investigated included occupation, well-water use, pesticide use,
metal exposures, medical history, smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug
use. Twenty-six percent of the male PD cases reported having been employed
in farming versus eleven percent for male controls (OR = 3.1, 95% C.I. =
0.3 to 35). Sixteen percent of male cases versus none of the controls
reported employment as welders. No clear trends involving exposure to
either occupational or home pesticides emerged. In assessing occupational
exposures to metals, aluminum and copper exposures tended to be more
common among male cases than male controls. Additionally, as reported in
other studies, smoking showed an inverse relationship with PD. Although
the findings reported here are provocative, these results are
statistically imprecise and must be interpreted cautiously because of the
small number of subjects included in the study.

Aluminum, Alzheimer's disease, and the olfactory system. [Review]
Source
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. 640:8-13, 1991.
Abstract
In Alzheimer's disease, it has been recognized that there is a dramatic
tendency for the development of neurofibrillary tangles among neurons of
cortical regions associated with the olfactory system. We have
demonstrated that neurofibrillary tangle-bearing neurons contain
dramatically elevated levels of aluminum. The olfactory system, the only
portion of the central nervous system with exposure to the external
environment, is uniquely capable of uptake and transneuronal spread of
exogenous substances. We argue that inasmuch as aluminum is not employed
in any physiologic process, these deposits must arise from exogenous
sources. Using parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam as a model, we
present data which suggest that the olfactory system is particularly
vulnerable to damage and is affected very early in the disease. This
supports the concept that etiologic agents of importance to this epidemic
may be airborne in nature and may enter the central nervous system via the
olfactory pathways. [References: 24]

Title
Iron in brain function and dysfunction with emphasis on Parkinson's
disease. [Review]
Source
European Neurology. 31 Suppl 1:34-40, 1991.
Abstract
Metals such as lead, zinc, copper, aluminum and manganese have been
implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. However, until fairly recently
the role of iron in brain function was rather obscure, because little
attention was paid to its metabolism in the brain. It is now apparent that
maintenance of brain iron homoeostasis is important for the normal
functioning of his organ. Most of the studies have been directed towards
the cognitive and attentional deficit resulting from nutritional iron
deficiency. Evidence so far suggests subsensitivity of striatal dopamine
neurotransmission. By contrast the selective increase in free iron in the
substantia nigra pars compacta of parkinsonian brains is thought to
initiate oxidative stress, from iron-induced liberation of cytotoxic
oxygen free radicals. Such radicals are known to promote membrane
fluidity, alteration in cellular calcium homoeostasis, lipid peroxidation
and finally cell death in systemic organs. Evidence supporting similar
processes being responsible for nigrostriatal dopamine neuron degeneration
in Parkinson's disease is now becoming available. Such possibilities
afford the development of neuroprotective drugs as a means to retard the
progression of this disorder. These include other selective monoamine
oxidase B inhibitors, iron chelators with the ability to cross the
blood-brain barrier, selective calcium channel antagonists and
mitochondrial electron transport system protectors. [References: 45]
