Other studies including argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions and static DNA flow cytometry suggest that HGPIN and carcinoma have similar proliferative activity and DNA content, and hence HGPIN is the most likely precursor of cancer. 3,4) All of the "tauopathies" (ie, Pick disease, corticobasal degeneration, PSP, argyrophilic grain disease, and frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism due to a mutation in the microtubule-associated protein tau) involve abnormal accumulation of intracellular tau protein that results in the development and accumulation of inclusions in neurons or glia that render the cells dysfunctional and ultimately cause cell death. The effects of both neurotoxicants on the argyrophilic reaction at the different brain levels were compared with controls that consisted of fish maintained under conditions identical to those of the two treatment groups except that only vehicle was added to the tanks. |
