متن کاملCaspase-cleavage of tau is an early event in Alzheimer disease tangle pathology.
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are composed of abnormal aggregates of the cytoskeletal protein tau. Together with amyloid beta (Abeta) plaques and neuronal and synaptic loss, NFTs constitute the primary pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease (AD). Recent evidence also suggests that caspases are activated early in the progression of AD and may play a role in neuronal loss and NFT pathology....
متن کاملCaspase cleavage of tau: linking amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease.
The principal pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, the latter composed of the microtubule-binding protein tau assembled into paired helical and straight filaments. Recent studies suggest that these pathological entities may be functionally linked, although the mechanisms by which amyloid deposition promote...
متن کاملSox11 Reduces Caspase-6 Cleavage and Activity
The apoptotic cascade is an orchestrated event, whose final stages are mediated by effector caspases. Regulatory binding proteins have been identified for caspases such as caspase-3, -7, -8, and -9. Many of these proteins belong to the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family. By contrast, caspase-6 is not believed to be influenced by IAPs, and little is known about its regulation. We therefore perf...
متن کاملThe role of caspase cleavage of tau in Alzheimer disease neuropathology.
Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles within selective brain regions. In addition, cell death pathways become active leading to neurodegeneration. Caspase activation, a key step in the programmed cell death pathway known as apoptosis, occurs in AD and leads to the proteolytic cleavage of several neuronal proteins. Previously, ...
