Patent

CA 2757088

The invention demonstrates that, contrary to apoptotic rabies virus G proteins, certain non-apoptotic rabies virus G proteins, such as the G protein of the CVS-NIV strain, have a neurite outgrowth promoting effect. The invention further demonstrates that this neurite outgrowth promoting effect is due to the cytoplasmic tail of said non-apoptotic rabies virus G proteins, more particularly to their PDZ-BS, which shows a single-point mutation compared to the one of apoptotic rabies virus G proteins. The invention provides means for inducing and/or stimulating neurite outgrowth, which are useful in inducing neuron differentiation, for example for the treatment of a neoplasm of the nervous system, as well as in regenerating impaired neurons, for example for the treatment of a neurodegenerative disease, disorder or condition or in the treatment of a microbial infection, or in protecting neurons from neurotoxic agents or oxidative stress.

La présente invention démontre que, contrairement aux protéines G du virus de la rage apoptotiques, certaines protéines G du virus de la rage non-apoptotiques, telles que la protéine G de la souche CVS-NIV, ont un effet promoteur de croissance de neurite. L'invention démontre en outre que cet effet promoteur de croissance de neurite est dû à la queue cytoplasmique desdites protéines G du virus de la rage non-apoptotiques, plus particulièrement à leur PDZ-BS, qui présente une mutation ponctuelle comparé à l'une des protéines G du virus de la rage apoptotiques. L'invention concerne des moyens pour induire et/ou stimuler la croissance de neurite, qui sont utiles dans l'induction de la différenciation de neurone, par exemple pour le traitement d'une néoplasie du système nerveux, ainsi que dans la régénération de neurones altérés, par exemple pour le traitement d'une maladie, un trouble ou une affection neurodégénérative ou dans le traitement d'une infection microbienne, ou dans la protection de neurones contre des agents neurotoxiques ou le stress oxydatif.
