The neighborhood of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein: new clues on Alzheimer's pathology from other proteins linked to amyloid plaque formation

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The identification of amyloid-rich plaques has long been a diagnostic tool for pathologists investigating Alzheimer's disease (AD). The plaques are formed through the accumulation and aggregation of beta-amyloid peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP; see figure) and are characteristically found in the brain parenchyma and around blood vessels. Although it is clear that APP plays a role in AD pathology, the normal function of APP is currently unknown.

P135: The Role of Amyloid Beta-Peptides and Tau Protein in Alzheimer\'s Disease

Alzheimer's desease is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder, and cognitive problems such as defects in learning and memory are of its symptoms.  Among the factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease are biochemical disorders in protein production, oxidative stress, decreased acetylcholine secretion and inflammation of the brain tissue. Extra-neuronal accumulation ...

P 102: The Study of Some Factors Which Effect on Beta-Amyloid Signaling in Neuroinflammation

Neurological inflammatory diseases are developing rapidly. Different factors involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In this article, we discuss some of the mechanisms are dealt with. An aberrant procedure of beta-amyloid precursor protein (BAPP) to form neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptides and an accumulated insoluble polymer of beta –amyloid (BA) that forms the senile plaque. The ab...

The Bad Seed in Alzheimer’s Disease

In this issue of Neuron, McGowan et al. report on a new mouse model of amyloid deposition as occurs in Alzheimer's disease. Unlike previous models in which overexpression of the amyloid precursor protein results in amyloid plaque formation, McGowan et al. have produced mice that overexpress only Abeta40 or Abeta42 and prove that Abeta42 is critical for the formation of amyloid deposits in vivo.

Cytosolic proteins lose solubility as amyloid deposits in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer-type amyloidosis.

The extracellular accumulation of β-amyloid peptide is a key trigger in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In humans, amyloid deposition precedes the appearance of intracellular inclusion pathology formed by cytosolic proteins such as Tau, α-synuclein and TDP-43. These secondary pathologies have not been observed in mice that model Alzheimer-type amyloidosis by expressing mutant amyl...

The Neuronal Adaptor Protein X11 Reduces Amyloid -Protein Levels and Amyloid Plaque Formation in the Brains of Transgenic Mice*

Accumulation of cerebral amyloid -protein (A ) is believed to be part of the pathogenic process in Alzheimer’s disease. A is derived by proteolytic cleavage from a precursor protein, the amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP is a type-1 membrane-spanning protein, and its carboxyl-terminal intracellular domain binds to X11 , a neuronal adaptor protein. X11 has been shown to inhibit the production...
