  • DNA damage distribution in the human brain as shown by in situ end labeling : area-spe differences in aging and alzheimer disease in the absence of apoptotic morphology
    Lucassen, Paul J. ...
    DNA damage has been proposed to underlie neuronal degeneration in aging and Alzheimer disease (AD). To determine the histological distribution of DNA damage, in situ end labeling (ISEL) was applied ... as a marker for DNA breaks on 4 differentially affected brain areas. Occipital cortex showed considerable variation between cortical layers and between patients. Temporal cortex displayed little ISEL-Iabeling in controls, and in AD, surprisingly. In the hippocampus, which is strongly affected in AD, many ISEL-positive nuclei and glialike cells were found in AD as compared with controls. The hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei showed little DNA-damage, whereas the nucleus basalis was often, but not always, labeled by ISEL. In contrast to others, no apoptotic morphology was observed, only necrotic morphology. Our results in relation to postmortem delay indicate that, area dependent, increased DNA vulnerability may occur in AD. Furthermore, the distribution of DNA damage in cortex differs from that of plaques and tangles, suggesting that these 3 phenomena are, in principle, independent. Whether the enhanced level of hippocampal DNA breaks in AD underlies, or rather is a consequence of, previous degenerative changes in this brain area remains to be established.
