    Abstract Cytochrome c oxidase or mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV is where over 90% of oxygen is consumed. The relationship between complex IV activity and mitochondrial proteins, which provides a guide to understanding the mechanisms in primary mitochondrial disorders, has been determined by histochemistry (complex IV activity) and immunohistochemistry in serial sections. In the central nervous system (CNS), mitochondrial activity and immunoreactivity have been determined in populations of cells in serial sections as capturing cells in more than one section is difficult. In this report, we describe a method to determine complex IV activity in relation to mitochondrial proteins at a single-cell level in the CNS. We performed complex IV histochemistry and immunohistochemistry consecutively in snap-frozen sections. Although the product of complex IV histochemistry reduces the sensitivity of standard immunohistochemistry (secondary antibody and ABC method), the biotin-free Menapath polymer detection system enables mitochondrial proteins to be detected following complex IV histochemistry. The co-occurring chromogens may then be separately visualized and analyzed using multispectral imaging. Our technique is applicable for exploring mitochondrial defects within single cells, including oligodendrocytes, in a variety of CNS disorders and animal models of those diseases.

    Abstract The neuron is the target of inflammatory demyelinating processes in multiple sclerosis (MS). In progressive MS, however, there is a gathering body of evidence indicating molecular changes within neuronal cell bodies. All of these molecular changes to intrinsic neurons converge on mitochondria, and the most reproduced change relates to mitochondrial respiratory chain complex deficiency. This compromise in the capacity to generate ATP in the neuronal cell body is coupled with an increased demand for energy by the demyelinated axon, which is particularly relevant to the long tracts such as corticospinal tracts with long projection axons. Recent work in our laboratory and that of our collaborators indicate limited reflection of the molecular changes that are intrinsic neurons in the experimental disease models. The mitochondrial changes within neuronal compartments are an under-recognized aspect of progressive MS and likely to offer novel targets for the improvement of neuronal function as well as neuroprotection.

    Abstract Inflammatory demyelinating processes target the neuron, particularly axons and synapses, in multiple sclerosis (MS). There is a gathering body of evidence indicating molecular changes which converge on mitochondria within neurons in progressive forms of MS. The most reproducible changes are the increase in mitochondrial content within demyelinated axons and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex deficiency in neurons, which compromises the capacity to generate ATP. The resulting lack of ATP and the likely energy failure state and its coupling with an increase in demand for energy by the demyelinated axon, are particularly relevant to the long tracts such as corticospinal tracts with long projection axons. Recent work in our laboratory and that of our collaborators indicate the limited reflection of the mitochondrial changes within neurons in the experimental disease models. Enhancing the energy producing capacity of neurons to meet the increased energy demand of demyelinated axons is likely to be a novel neuroprotective strategy in progressive MS.

    Abstract Background: Many people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) experience walking impairments often including foot drop, evident as either reduced dorsiflexion at initial contact and/or at the swing phase of the gait cycle. To measure even subtle differences in ankle kinematics, 3D gait analysis is considered a 'gold' standard. However, the psychometric properties of ankle kinematics in the MS population have not yet been examined.
    Objective: The aim of the study was to examine test-retest relative and absolute reliability of sagittal ankle kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters in two groups of pwMS with different levels of walking impairment.
    Methods: Two groups of pwMS underwent 3D gait analysis on two occasions 7-14 days apart. Group A consisted of 21 (14 female) people with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) 1-3.5 and group B consisted of 28 participants (14 female) with EDSS 4-6. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC
    Results: Both groups presented 'excellent' ICC values (>0.75) for DF in swing, IC and step length of most and least affected limbs, walking speed and cadence, with GPS for both limbs exhibiting 'fair' to 'good' ICCs (0.489-0.698). The MDC
    Conclusion: The present results suggest that ankle kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters derived from 3D gait analysis are reliable outcome measures to be used in the MS population. Further, this study provides indices of reliability that can be applied to both clinical decision making and in the design of studies aimed at treating foot drop in people with MS.

    Abstract The loss of myelin sheath (demyelination) renders axons vulnerable to a variety of insults. Axonal degeneration is well recognised in inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and also certain neurodegenerative diseases. Energy required for nerve impulse conduction and maintenance of structural integrity of axons is met by mitochondria. Based on the distribution of ion channels and the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, the energy requirements of demyelinated and dysmyelinated axons are likely to differ from myelinated axons. In this review we discuss the changes in mitochondrial presence within axons in relation to presence or absence of healthy myelin sheaths and propose the increase in mitochondrial presence following demyelination as an adaptive process. An energy deficit within demyelinated axons is likely to be more detrimental compared to myelinated axons, judging by the neuropathological findings in primary mitochondrial disorders due to mitochondrial and nuclear DNA mutations and the mitochondrial changes that follow demyelination. Agents that enhance and protect mitochondria, as potential therapy, need to be considered and investigated in earnest for demyelinating disorders of the CNS such as MS.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Mechanisms of disease progression in MS are poorly understood but are thought to relate to both focal pathology as well as diffuse inflammation in the white and grey matter. Evidence points to neurodegeneration combined with a loss of cellular function in the remaining tissue as an important factor to the progression of MS. Mitochondria are implicated to play a role in the pathogenesis of MS with evidence of loss of mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, down regulation of both nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encoded transcripts as well as oxidative damage to, and deletions of, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The double stranded circle of mtDNA (16.6 kb) encompasses genes encoding key subunits within the mitochondrial respiratory chain required for the production of ATP as well as transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA molecules within the cell. The stability of mtDNA is essential for a healthy CNS as highlighted by the patients with primary mitochondrial disease. In this review, we focus on the potential role of mtDNA mutations, in particular somatic mtDNA deletions, in the pathogenesis of the progressive stage of MS. We propose clonal expansion of somatic mtDNA deletions as a potential molecular link between early inflammatory events and a delayed cellular energy failure, dysfunction and degeneration. The high level of somatic mtDNA deletions within single cells in MS is likely to cause cellular dysfunction as well as increase the susceptibility of the CNS tissue to additional stress.
