Amyloid Precursor Protein and Amyloid b Peptide in Human Platelets
The main component of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) senile plaques is amyloid-b peptide (Ab), a proteolytic fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Platelets contain both APP and Ab and may contribute to the perivascular amyloid deposition seen in AD. However, no data are available concerning the biochemical mechanism(s) involved in their formation and release by these cells. We found that ...
متن کاملThe human β-amyloid precursor protein: biomolecular and epigenetic aspects.
Beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a membrane-spanning protein with a large extracellular domain and a much smaller intracellular domain. APP plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis: APP processing generates β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, which are deposited as amyloid plaques in the brains of AD individuals; point mutations and duplications of APP are causal for a subset o...

متن کاملHeterogeneous Association of Alzheimer’s Disease-Linked Amyloid-β and Amyloid-β Protein Precursor with Synapses
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly viewed as a disease of synapses. Loss of synapses correlates better with cognitive decline than amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the hallmark neuropathological lesions of AD. Soluble forms of amyloid-β (Aβ) have emerged as mediators of synapse dysfunction. Aβ binds to, accumulates, and aggregates in synapses. However, the anatomical and neuro...
متن کاملSecreted Amyloid Precursor Protein β and Secreted Amyloid Precursor Protein α Induce Axon Outgrowth In Vitro through Egr1 Signaling Pathway
BACKGROUND sAPPα released after α secretase cleavage of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) has several functions including the stimulation of neurite outgrowth although detailed morphometric analysis has not been done. Two domains involved in this function have been described and are present in sAPPβ released at the first step of amyloid peptide cleavage, raising the possibility that sAPPβ could a...
