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 ...
متن کاملSpherical aggregates of -amyloid (amylospheroid) show high neurotoxicity and activate tau protein kinase I glycogen synthase kinase-3
-Amyloid (A ) acquires toxicity by self-aggregation. To identify and characterize the toxic form(s) of A aggregates, we examined in vitro aggregation conditions by using large quantities of homogenous, chemically synthesized A 1–40 peptide. We found that slow rotation of A 1–40 solution reproducibly gave self-aggregated A 1–40 containing a stable and highly toxic moiety. Examination of the aggr...
متن کاملTau protein is required for amyloid {beta}-induced impairment of hippocampal long-term potentiation.
Amyloid β (Aβ) and tau protein are both implicated in memory impairment, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and early Alzheimer's disease (AD), but whether and how they interact is unknown. Consequently, we asked whether tau protein is required for the robust phenomenon of Aβ-induced impairment of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), a widely accepted cellular model of memory. We used wild-t...
متن کاملP 97: Neurodegeneration Induced by Tau protein
Tau is one of several types of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), responsible for the assembly and stability of microtubule networks that is present only in neurons and predominantly localized in axons which its functions are tightly regulated by phosphorylation. Via as yet unknown mechanisms, tau becomes hyperphosphorylated and accompanies with neuronal degeneration, loss of synapses...
متن کاملAlzheimer's amyloid-beta (A beta) is an essential synaptic protein, not neurotoxic junk.
Despite a decade long universal publication in favor of the view on amyloid-beta (A beta) as Alzheimer's disease culprit (solely neurotoxic for neurons and brain tissue), current scientific evidence leaves little doubt that A beta serves an essential role at synapse and in synaptic structure-functional plasticity that underlie learning and memory. Therefore, the change of A beta biology in Alzh...
