Membrane microdomain switching: a regulatory mechanism of amyloid precursor protein processing
Neuronal activity has an impact on beta cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by BACE1 to generate amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect remain to be elucidated. Cholesterol dependency of beta cleavage prompted us to analyze immunoisolated APP-containing detergent-resistant membranes from rodent brains. We found syntaxin 1 as a key molecule...

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 کاملThe pharmacology of amyloid precursor protein processing.
The possibility to understand the causes and treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease patients is still a great challenge. The triggering events leading to the selective neurodegeneration observed in Alzheimer's brains are not completely understood. This lack of understanding of the pathophysiological processes posses an important theoretical challenge for the rational design of pharmacologica...
متن کامل(MLC601) and Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing
Background: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) undergoes cleavage under physiological conditions, predominantly by αand γ-secretases, to form the nonpathogenic sAPPα and p3 fragments. By contrast, amyloid-beta (Aβ) is produced via proteolytic cleavage by βand γ-secretases. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), APP is preferentially processed via the amyloidogenic pathway, producing large amounts of Aβ that...
