Ccr2-64i and Ccr5 Δ32 Polymorphisms in Patients with Late-Onset Alzheimer’s disease; A Study from Iran (Ccr2-64i And Ccr5 Δ32 Polymorphisms in Alzheimer’s disease)
Objective(s) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiology. Inflammation has been proven to have an important role in the pathogenesis of AD. Both CCR2 and CCR5 genes expression increase in AD patients comparing to control subjects. CCR5 gene encodes a protein which is a member of the beta chemokine receptors family of integral membrane proteins. CCR5-Δ32 is a gene...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...
متن کاملThe Highlighted Roles of Metabolic and Cellular Response to Stress Pathways Engaged in Circulating hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 in Alzheimer’s Disease
Background: Among different roles of miRNAs in AD pathogenesis, hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 functions are poorly understood. Methods: To obtain the gene targets, gene networks, gene ontology, and enrichment analysis of the two miRNAs, some web servers were utilized. Furthermore, the expressions of these miRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR in 36 blood sera, including 18 Alzheimer’s patients and 1...

Alzheimer’s disease is themost common formof dementia and is the only top 10 cause of death in theUnited States that lacks diseasealtering treatments. It is a complex disorder with environmental and genetic components.There are twomajor types of Alzheimer’s disease, early onset and the more common late onset.The genetics of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease are largely understood with variants in...
متن کاملThe role of genetics in alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and causes a decrease in thinking skills and social behaviors. Alzheimer's disease is more common in people over 65 years old. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia increases with age,...
