At least nine neurodegenerative diseases are known to be caused by expanded CAG repeats encoding polyglutamine(polyQ)stretches. Although cytotoxicities of expanded polyQ stretches have been suggested, the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration remain unclear. In previous work, we demonstrated that the transcriptional activation of endogenous CREB-dependent transcription was strongly suppressed by expanded polyQ stretches in a polyQ length-dependent manner, and this down-regulation of CREB-dependent transcriptional activation was reversibly restored. We further demonstrated that polyQ-induced cytotoxicity was abrogated by enhancing endogenous CREB-dependent transcription by increasing cAMP concentration as well as by a histone deacetylase inhibitor. These findings emphasize the augmentation of transcriptional activation as a potential therapeutic strategy for polyglutamine diseases. In this article, we reviewed the recent research papers related to transcriptional dysregulation in polyglutamine diseases.
