It may participate in the maintenance of the cytoskeleton and in the rapid turnover of structural proteins associated with synaptic plasticity. Calpain may also be involved in the neurodegeneration that accompanies aging and age\u2010related diseases. To aid in the interpretation of disease\u2010related alterations in staining patterns, the present study examined calpain's normal distribution in the mammalian brain and spinal cord. A monoclonal antibody was employed with the avidin\u2010biotin\u2010peroxidase immunocytochemical technique on samples of rat tissue. Glia (astrocytes, microglia) and virtually all neurons were immunopositive, although neuronal processes exhibited varying staining patterns. The axonal staining pattern depended upon either the origin or destination of the process: those axons remaining within the brain (e.g., corpus callosum) were only lightly immunoreactive, whereas spinal cord and peripheral axons (trigeminal nerve) were more darkly labeled. The architecture of the dendritic tree determined the dendritic staining pattern: neurons with prominent apical and basal dendritic trees (e.g., pyramidal cells) were immunolabeled along their entire extent; labeling of multipolar cells (e.g., hilar cells of dentate gyrus) was limited to the proximal dendrites. The ubiquitous distribution of calpain argues against a primary role for the enzyme in the regional pattern of neuronal death seen in Alzheimer's disease. An alteration in the concentration, localization, or inhibition of the enzyme could, however, lead to the abnormal accumulations of cytoskeletal elements seen with the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902960207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T22:03:06Z","timestamp":1104616986000},"page":"269-276","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Distribution of calcium\u2010activated protease calpain in the rat brain"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"296","author":[{"given":"Lynn S.","family":"Perlmutter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Gall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Baudry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Lynch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681_86_90153-1","article-title":"Calcium\u2010induced degeneration of the cytoskeleton in monkey and human peripheral nerves","volume":"11","author":"Badalamente M.
