1 Consistent with the increase in Htt aggregation, PrP(C) depletion caused an decrease in proteasome activity and a decrease in the activities of cellular defense enzymes compared with control cells whereas reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased more than threefold. Reactive Oxygen Species prion protein Mus musculus
2 Therefore, PrP(C) may protect against Htt toxicity in neuronal cells by increasing cellular defense proteins, decreasing ROS and increasing proteasome activity thereby increasing Htt degradation. Reactive Oxygen Species prion protein Mus musculus
