Amyloidogenic processing of human amyloid precursor protein in hippocampal neurons devoid of cathepsin D.
betaA4-Amyloid peptide, the main component of the amyloid plaques in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients is produced from amyloid precursor protein (APP) by proteolytical processing. Several lines of evidence suggest a direct role for cathepsin D, the major endosomal/lysosomal aspartic endopeptidase, in betaA4-amyloid peptide generation. Here we tested this hypothesis using primary cultur...

متن کاملInvestigation of the Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Effects on Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Hippocampal Cells
Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) are small magnetic particles that widely used in different aspects of biology and medicine in modern life. Fe2O3-NP accumulated in the living cells due to absence of active system to excrete the iron ions so damages cellular organelles by highly reactivity. Method: Herein cytotoxic effects of Fe2O3-NP with 50 nm size were investigated on prima...
متن کاملLysosomal processing of amyloid precursor protein to A beta peptides: a distinct role for cathepsin S.
To investigate the potential contribution of the lysosomal compartment in the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) to amyloid beta-peptides (A beta s), we stably overexpressed a series of lysosomal proteases (the cysteine proteases, cathepsins B, L and S, and the aspartic protease, cathepsin D) in a human kidney epithelial cell line (293) transfected to express high levels of beta APP....
