Phosphorylated PP2A (tyrosine 307) is associated with Alzheimer neurofibrillary pathology
Down-regulation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is thought to play a critical role in tau hyperphosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro phosphorylation of PP2A catalytic subunit at Y307 efficiently inactivates PP2A. A specific antibody against phosphorylated (p) PP2A (Y307) (PP2Ac-Yp307) was used to investigate possible PP2A down-regulation by known pathophysiological changes asso...
متن کاملMolecular pathology of Alzheimer neurofibrillary
The most characteristic brain lesion of Alzheimer disease is the accumulation of paired helical filaments (PHF) in the affected neurons. Based on solubility in detergents there are two general populations of PHF, the readily soluble (PHF I) and the sparingly soluble (PHF 11) types. The major polypeptides of PHF are the microtubule associated protein tau. Tau in PHF is present in abnormally phos...
متن کاملRetinoblastoma protein phosphorylation at multiple sites is associated with neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer disease.
The re-expression of multiple cell cycle markers representing various cell cycle phases in postmitotic pyramidal neurons suggests that neurons in Alzheimer disease (AD) attempt to re-enter the cell cycle. Entry into the cell cycle requires activation of G1 to S phase cell cycle proteins, among which retinoblastoma protein (pRb) is a key regulator. pRb inhibits the transcription of cell cycle pr...
متن کاملAlzheimer neurofibrillary tangles contain phosphorylated and hidden neurofilament epitopes.
Three monoclonal antibodies to neurofilaments (RT97, BF10 and 147), two of which also recognised neurofibrillary tangles (RT97 and BF10), have all been shown to be specific for phosphorylated epitopes. Treatment of histological sections with alkaline phosphatase prior to immunostaining resulted in reduction of axonal neurofilament staining with all three whilst the neurofibrillary tangles stain...
متن کاملCSF phosphorylated tau protein correlates with neocortical neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer's disease.
Hyperphosphorylated tau protein (P-tau) in CSF is a core biomarker candidate of Alzheimer's disease. Hyperphosphorylation of tau is thought to lead to neurofibrillary changes, a neuropathological hallmark of this type of dementia. Currently, the question is unresolved whether CSF levels of P-tau reflect neurofibrillary changes within the brain of a patient with the illness. Twenty-six patients ...
