Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We detected key molecules of CADASIL using proteomics and histochemical analysis. We analyzed coexistence proteins of Notch3 ectodomain, using brain samples of two CADASIL cases. We cut small arteries of brain sections on the glass by Laser microdissection. We analyzed coexistence proteins, using LC-MS/ MS. In this study, we detected some key molecules that are associated with vascular remodeling. In addition, we analyzed chemical features of Granular Osmiophilic Material (GOM), using histochemical analysis on the slide glass under light microscopy. We detected some enzymatic activity of GOM. These key molecules may be important to reveal the pathogenesis of CADASIL.
