Abstract:
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor beta1 (gabrb1), a subunit of GABAA receptors involved in inhibitory effects on neurotransmission, was found to associate with the formation of protease-resistant prion protein in prion-infected neuroblastoma cells. Silencing of gabrb1 gene expression significantly decreased the abnormal prion protein level but paradoxically increased the normal prion protein level. Treatment with a gabrb1-specific inhibitor, salicylidene salicylhydrazide, dose-depe...     »
