Polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-3 activates mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by upregulating Bax and downregulating Bcl-xL
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-3. In the present study, we expressed disease-causing mutant ataxin-3-Q79 in neuronal cultures of cerebellum, striatum and substantia nigra by using recombinant adenoviruse...
