Cytoskeletal pathologies of Alzheimer disease.

The histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease are the extracellular amyloid plaques, composed principally of the amyloid beta peptide, and the intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, composed of paired helical filaments of the microtubule-associated protein, tau. Other histopathological structures involving actin and the actin-binding protein, cofilin, have more recently been recognized. ...

Paired helical filaments from Alzheimer disease patients contain cytoskeletal components.

Neurofibrillary tangles from Alzheimer disease patients share antigenic determinants with neurofilaments and microtubule-associated proteins, as shown by light microscopy immunocytology. The present study addresses the issue of whether these determinants are located on the paired helical filaments or on other components of the neurofibrillary tangle. Sections from postmortem brains from Alzheim...

[The role of ceramides in selected brain pathologies: ischemia/hypoxia, Alzheimer disease].

 Ceramides, members of the sphingolipids, are produced in the central nervous system by de novo synthesis, sphingomyelin hydrolysis or the so-called salvage pathway. They are engaged in formation of lipid rafts that are essential in regulation and transduction of signals coming to the cell from the environment. Ceramides represent the major transmitters of the sphingomyelin pathway of signal tr...

Diabetes and Alzheimer Disease, Two Overlapping Pathologies with the Same Background: Oxidative Stress

There are several oxidative stress-related pathways interconnecting Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes, two public health problems worldwide. Coincidences are so compelling that it is attractive to speculate they are the same disorder. However, some pathological mechanisms as observed in diabetes are not necessarily the same mechanisms related to Alzheimer's or the only ones related to Al...
