Tau and Caspase 3 as Targets for Neuroprotection
The peptide drug candidate NAP (davunetide) has demonstrated protective effects in various in vivo and in vitro models of neurodegeneration. NAP was shown to reduce tau hyperphosphorylation as well as to prevent caspase-3 activation and cytochrome-3 release from mitochondria, both characteristic of apoptotic cell death. Recent studies suggest that caspases may play a role in tau pathology. The ...
متن کاملCorrelations between cortical and subcortical tau pathology.
AIM Recent studies indicate that tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) does not initially manifest in the cerebral cortex but in selected subcortical nuclei, in particular the locus ceruleus (LC). In this study we correlate both olfactory and brainstem tau pathology with neuritic Braak stages. METHODS We examined 239 unselected autopsy cases (57.3% female, 42.7% male; aged 55-102, mean 82...
متن کاملCaspase 3 activation is essential for neuroprotection in preconditioning.
Sublethal insults can induce tolerance to subsequent stressors in neurons. As cell death activators such as ROS generation and decreased ATP can initiate tolerance, we tested whether other cellular elements normally associated with neuronal injury could add to this process. In an in vivo model of ischemic tolerance, we were surprised to observe widespread caspase 3 cleavage, without cell death,...
متن کاملTau pathology induces loss of GABAergic interneurons leading to altered synaptic plasticity and behavioral impairments
BACKGROUND Tau is a microtubule stabilizing protein and is mainly expressed in neurons. Tau aggregation into oligomers and tangles is considered an important pathological event in tauopathies, such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Tauopathies are also associated with deficits in synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP), but the specific role of tau ...
متن کاملProteasome impairment by α-synuclein
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide and characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the patients' midbrains. Both the presence of the protein α-synuclein in intracellular protein aggregates in surviving neurons and the genetic linking of the α-synuclein encoding gene point towards a major role of α-synuclein in PD etiology. The exa...
