Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) is a serine/threonine kinase that, when activated, induces neurite outgrowth. Recent in vitro studies have shown that cdk5 phosphorylates tau at serine 199, serine 202, and threonine 205 and that p25, an activator of cdk5, is increased in Alzheimer disease (AD). Since tau is hyperphosphorylated at these sites in neurofibrillary tangles, we examined brain tissue ...
One patient of a French family with Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome with the mutation in codon 117 of the prion protein (PrP) gene displayed unexpected neuritic degeneration around PrP plaques and numerous diffuse neurofibrillary tangles, whereas other members did not. The tau profile in this patient's brain was analysed and compared with one from another member of the Gerstmann-Sträuss...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. Almost 47 million people suffer from dementia worldwide. AD accounts for approximately 60%–80% of all dementia cases. Three major pathologies characterize the disease: senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and inflammation. We review the literature on events contributing to the inflammat...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, and no cure or prevention has been found for it. Extracellular senile plaque and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles are two important histopathological hallmarks of AD, which are both harmful for the cell. Senile plaques are composed of amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles are formed by hyper...
In addition to senile plaque and neurofibrillary tangles, granulovacuolar degeneration is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. A number of tau kinases, such as c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), glycogen-synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), and casein kinase 1 (CK1), have been reported to be markers of granulovacuolar degeneration. In addition, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), which phosphorylates tau, has b...
BACKGROUND The cortical changes resulting from chronic hydrocephalus in adults are not well defined. METHODS Retrospective analysis of twenty-one patients (age 64-88 years) with a clinical diagnosis of "normal pressure hydrocephalus" who underwent cortical biopsy at the time of intracranial pressure monitoring or shunt insertion, and eight patients who were biopsied but not shunted. Eleven br...
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, ...
Neurofibrillary tangles, composed of hyperphosphorylated tau fibrils, are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease; the neurofibrillary tangle load correlates strongly with clinical progression of the disease. A growing body of evidence indicates that tau oligomer formation precedes the appearance of neurofibrillary tangles and contributes to neuronal loss. Here we show that tau oligomer ...
