Synaptic dysfunction and loss correlate with cognitive decline in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimers disease (AD) and prion disease. Neuronal hyperexcitability occurs in the early stages of AD and experimental prion disease, prior to the onset of dementia, yet the underlying drivers are unclear. Here we identify an increase in the immediate early gene, Arc/Arg3.1, in the human prion disease-affected frontal cortex, suggestive of neuronal hyperactivity. To investigate early signaling events initiated by prion aggregates (PrPSc) in human neurons, we stimulated PrPC in human iPSC-derived excitatory neurons (iNs) with a known PrPSc-mimetic antibody (POM1), which recapitulated the Arc/Arg3.1 response within two hours. Proteomics, RNAseq, and a phosphokinase array in iNs revealed alterations in the EGF receptor and increased phosphorylated phospholipase C (PLC)-{gamma}1 (Y783), which was also observed in the cerebral cortex of prion-infected mice. Thus, PrPC ligands can induce a PLC-{gamma}1 intracellular signaling cascade together with an Arc response, suggestive of a neuronal activity response.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
