Amyloidogenic processing of the human amyloid precursor protein in primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons.
The aim of this study was to investigate the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in polarized primary cultures of hippocampal neurons. We have used the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vector to express human APP695 in hippocampal neurons, sympathetic ganglia, and glial cells. The latter two cells secrete little or no APP, whereas hippocampal neurons secrete two forms of APP...

متن کاملProtein kinase C activation increases release of secreted amyloid precursor protein without decreasing Abeta production in human primary neuron cultures.
Overexpression and altered metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP) resulting in increased 4 kDa amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) production are believed to play a major role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, reducing Abeta production in the brain is a possible therapy for AD. Because AD pathology is fairly restricted to the CNS of humans, we have established human cerebral primary neuro...
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 کاملEffect of rosiglitazone on amyloid precursor protein processing and Aβ clearance in streptozotocin-induced rat model of Alzheimer’s disease
Objective(s): Increasing evidence suggests that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with diabetes. Rosiglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) agonist and anti-diabetic agent, may improve symptoms of AD. However, the underlying therapeutic potential of it has not been fully elucidated. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into four groups: control group, sham o...
