Neuronal clearance of amyloid-β by endocytic receptor LRP1.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia in the elderly population. Accumulation, aggregation, and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides generated through proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) are likely initiating events in the pathogenesis of AD. While Aβ production is accelerated in familial AD, increasing evidence indicates that impaired clearance of...
متن کاملLRP1 controls biosynthetic and endocytic trafficking of neuronal prion protein.
The trafficking of normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) is believed to control its conversion to the altered conformation (designated PrPSc) associated with prion disease. Although anchored to the membrane by means of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), PrPC on neurons is rapidly and constitutively endocytosed by means of coated pits, a property dependent upon basic amino acids at its N-terminu...
متن کاملAstrocytic LRP1 Mediates Brain Aβ Clearance and Impacts Amyloid Deposition.
Accumulation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain represent an early and perhaps necessary step in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ accumulation leads to the formation of Aβ aggregates, which may directly and indirectly lead to eventual neurodegeneration. While Aβ production is accelerated in many familial forms of early-onset AD, increasing evidence indicates that impa...
متن کاملLow-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 (LRP1) Mediates Neuronal Aβ42 Uptake and Lysosomal Trafficking
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of early intraneuronal deposits of amyloid-beta 42 (Abeta42) that precede extracellular amyloid deposition in vulnerable brain regions. It has been hypothesized that endosomal/lysosomal dysfunction might be associated with the pathological accumulation of intracellular Abeta42 in the brain. Our previous findings suggest that t...
متن کاملThe low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 and amyloid-β clearance in Alzheimer’s disease
Accumulation and aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain trigger the development of progressive neurodegeneration and dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Perturbation in Aβ clearance, rather than Aβ production, is likely the cause of sporadic, late-onset AD, which accounts for the majority of AD cases. Since cellular uptake and subsequent degradation constitute a majo...
