Gleevec shifts APP processing from a β-cleavage to a nonamyloidogenic cleavage.
Neurotoxic amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) are major drivers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are formed by sequential cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase (BACE) and γ-secretase. Our previous study showed that the anticancer drug Gleevec lowers Aβ levels through indirect inhibition of γ-secretase activity. Here we report that Gleevec also achieves its Aβ-lowering effects throu...
متن کاملAPP intracellular domain derived from amyloidogenic β- and γ-secretase cleavage regulates neprilysin expression
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by an accumulation of Amyloid-β (Aβ), released by sequential proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β - and γ-secretase. Aβ peptides can aggregate, leading to toxic Aβ oligomers and amyloid plaque formation. Aβ accumulation is not only dependent on de novo synthesis but also on Aβ degradation. Neprilysin (NEP) is one of the maj...
متن کاملGleevec inhibits -amyloid production but not Notch cleavage
Amyloid(A ) peptides, consisting mainly of 40 and 42 aa (A 40 and A 42, respectively), are metabolites of the amyloid precursor protein and are believed to be major pathological determinants of Alzheimer’s disease. The proteolytic cleavages that form the A N and C termini are catalyzed by -secretase and -secretase, respectively. Here we demonstrate that -secretase generation of A in an N2a cell...
متن کاملRing Cleavage of Some Bicylic Compounds Derived from 1,2,4-Triazine
Ring cleavage occurred when 1,2,4-triazino-1,2,4-triazines (3), (4) and (5) were treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to yield N-substituted triazines (7) and (8). These confirm the given configuration assigned to the isomeric triazinotriazines. 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7H-oxazolo [3,2-b][1,2,4]-triazin-7-one (9) underwent ring cleavage on treatment with sodium alkoxide to afford 3-alkoxy-1...
متن کاملMorphological and morphometric study of early-cleavage mice embryos resulting from in vitro fertilization at different cleavage stages after vitrification
The aim of this study was to examine the possible morphological and morphometric changes resulting from vitrification of embryos at the cleavage stage. In this study, 30 mice early-cleavage embryos at different stages of cleavage, resulting from in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques, were examined before and after vitrification. Digital images were taken from embryos before and after vitrific...
