Résumé
Prion diseases are fatal transmissible neurodegenerative disorders. Among known anti-prions, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose compounds (HPMCs) are unique in their chemical structure and action. They have several excellent anti-prion properties but the effectiveness depends on the prion-infected mouse model. In the present study, we investigated the effects of stearoxy-modified HPMCs on prion-infected cells and mice. Stearoxy modification improved the anti-prion efficacy of HPMCs in prion-infected cells and significantly prolonged the incubation period in a lower HPMC-responding mouse model. However, stearoxy modification showed no improvement over nonmodified HPMCs in an HPMC-responding mouse model. These results offer a new line of inquiry for use with prion-infected mice that do not respond well to HPMCs.
