    Notes: Abstract      Loss of nerve cells is a hallmark of the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the patterns of cell death are unknown. By analyzing DNA fragmentation in situ we found evidence for cell death not only of nerve cells but also of oligodendrocytes and microglia in AD brains. In average, 30 times more brain cells showed DNA fragmentation in AD as compared to age-matched controls. Nuclear alterations suggestive of apoptosis were rare in degenerating cells. Even though the majority of degenerating cells were not located within amyloid deposits and did not contain neurofibrillary tangles, neurons situated within areas of amyloid deposits or affected by neurofibrillary degeneration revealed a higher risk of DNA fragmentation and death than cells not exposed to these AD changes.

    Notes: Summary A method for in situ hybridization of digoxigenin-labeled cDNA and cRNA probes to myelin protein mRNA is described. This technique has dual advantages of high structural resolution and high sensitivity and avoids problems associated with handling of radioactive materials. Furthermore, it can be readily combined in double labeling with immunocytochemical protein detection. We have used this technique to detect and locate mRNA for myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) in oligodendrocytes of 7-day-old and adult rat brains. PLP and MAG mRNA were restricted to the perinuclear cytoplasm, whereas MBP and CNPase mRNA was additionally present in peripheral oligodendrocyte processes.
