Quantiffication of IHC expression by Vesselnes.

This laboratory focuses on:

● Understanding the molecular basis of perturbations of subcellular organelle function.● Establish relationship to pathological conditions affecting the nervous system.● Develop of prototypic therapies to prevent this damage.

THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) STRESS IN 

PARKINSON'S DISEASE.                                         

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 

at least 1% of the population over 55 years old. 

The major clinical symptom of PD is impairment of motor control as a result from extensive dopaminergic neuron death in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc)

Page 4: 20111005 ihc-neuro

The problem

The mechanism involved in dopaminergic neuron loss in PD remains speculative. 

Many different molecular mechanisms are proposed to explain the loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson Disease (PD), including oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.

 Interestingly, increasing evidence from genetic and toxicological models of PD suggest a possible involvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in disease process

Page 5: 20111005 ihc-neuro

The problem

This study explore the possible impact of targeting XBP­1, one of thetranscriptional factors involved in the UPR, in the survival of SNpc under basal andpathological conditions

Page 6: 20111005 ihc-neuro

Experimental Setup

One of the most frequently used pharmacological PD modelin rodents is the unilateral injection of 6­hydroxydopamine (6­OHDA) in the striatum(Dauer et al, 2003). 

This toxin acts specifically in dopaminergic neurons, inducing aretrograde damage, which eventually results in cell dysfunction and death (Blum et al,2001). 

Page 7: 20111005 ihc-neuro

Experimental Setup

Is analized the progression of the hemilateral lesion in the SNpc after 4 and 7 days post­injection of different concentrations of 6­OHDA

Observing a progressive decrease in the number of tyrosinehydroxylase (TH)­positive cells in the SNpc of injected side (ipsilateral) compared to the non­injected side.

The numberof TH ­ positive neurons is quantified by counting manually the stained objects in theIHC images.

Page 8: 20111005 ihc-neuro

Objectives

Automate the acounting of neurons in order to calculate the ratio of surviving neurons inthe ipsalateral side in the SNpc.

Compute the ratio of dendrite projection between the Ipsilateral and Contralateral  sides of the SNpc.

Page 13: 20111005 ihc-neuro

Change of the color space

The images were transform from de RGB color space to HSV table.

Hue : encode the color0º = RGB(1, 0, 0)60º = RGB(1, 1, 0)120º = RGB(0, 1, 0)180º = RGB(0, 1, 1)240º = RGB(0, 0, 1)300º = RGB(1, 0, 1)360º = 0º

Saturation: Encode the pureness intensity Distance to the black and white axis 

Value: Encode the brightness

Neuron segmentation

Increase the problem dimensionality by use of Haar­like features descriptor

The features can be derived from the Haar Wavelet. Provide a projection basis comparable in some 

cases to the projection basis obtained by PCA and solving the eigen values problem
