Caspase-2 mediates neuronal cell death induced by beta-amyloid.
beta-amyloid (Abeta) has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Deposits of insoluble Abeta are found in the brains of patients with AD and are one of the pathological hallmarks of the disease. It has been proposed that Abeta induces death by oxidative stress, possibly through the generation of peroxynitrite from superoxide and nitric oxide. In our current...
متن کاملMitotic signaling by beta-amyloid causes neuronal death.
Aggregates of beta-amyloid peptide (betaAP), the main constituent of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's brain, kill neurons by a not yet defined mechanism, leading to apoptotic death. Here, we report that both full-length betaAP((1-40)) or ((1-42)) and its active fragment betaAP((25-35)) act as proliferative signals for differentiated cortical neurons, driving them into the cell cycle. The cycle fo...
متن کاملSignaling events in amyloid beta-peptide-induced neuronal death and insulin-like growth factor I protection.
Amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) is implicated as the toxic agent in Alzheimer's disease and is the major component of brain amyloid plaques. In vitro, Abeta causes cell death, but the molecular mechanisms are unclear. We analyzed the early signaling mechanisms involved in Abeta toxicity using the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line. Abeta caused cell death and induced a 2- to 3-fold activation of JNK....
متن کاملIntegrins mediate beta-amyloid-induced cell-cycle activation and neuronal death.
Early intracellular events responsible for cell-cycle induction by beta-amyloid (A beta) in neurons have not been identified yet. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) have been identified in this pathway, and inhibition of ERK activity prevents cell-cycle activation and reduces neuronal death induced by A beta. To identify upstream events responsible for ERK activation, attention...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor death receptor signaling cascade is required for amyloid-beta protein-induced neuron death.
Tumor necrosis factor type I receptor (TNFRI), a death receptor, mediates apoptosis and plays a crucial role in the interaction between the nervous and immune systems. A direct link between death receptor activation and signal cascade-mediated neuron death in brains with neurodegenerative disorders remains inconclusive. Here, we show that amyloid-beta protein (Abeta), a major component of plaqu...
