What are Prions?
 They are abnormal proteins
 called prion proteins
 pathogenic agents
 Normal prion proteins
 Abundantly in the brain.
 Functions are not completely understood.
.
In the1950s
 New Guinea
 Fatal disease on people of the Fore tribe.
 “Kuru”  "trembling in fear."
 Becoming unable to walk,
 Lost the ability to swallow or chew.
 Drastic weight loss
 Inevitably lead to death.
 Prions are the responsible.
Prion diseases
 A family of rare progressive neurodegenerative
disorders
 Affecting humans and animals.
 They are distinguished by:
 long incubation periods,
 characteristic spongiform changes associated
with neuronal loss,
 Failure to induce inflammatory response.
Normal brain tissue Spongiform encephalitis
The abnormal folding
of the prion proteins
leads to brain
damage and the
characteristic signs
and symptoms of the
disease.
Prions Action
Action of prions
Prion disease
 Affect the nervous system.
 In people:
 Impair brain function,
 Changes in memory, personality, and behavior;
 Decline in intellectual function (dementia);
 Abnormal movements, difficulty with coordinating
movements (ataxia).
 Typically starts in adulthood and worsen with time,
 Leading to death within a few months to several
years.
 Approximately 350 new cases are reported
annually in the United States.
Causes of prion diseases
 10 and 15% by mutations in the
PRNP gene.
 85 to 90 % are sporadic or
acquired.
 Acquired results from exposure to
PrPSc from an outside source.
 from eating beef products containing PrPSc
 Individuals ate affected human tissue during
cannibalistic funeral rituals.
 Iatrogenic. 1 to2% can be
transmitted by accidental
exposure to PrPSc-contaminated
tissues during a medical
procedure.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Bovine
spongiform
encephalopathy
