Abstract

Galantamine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to enhance memory in AD patients by acetylcholinesterase inhibition, has been tested for its protective properties on an in vitro model of H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress. SK-N-SH cells treated with H(2)O(2) for 2h showed an increase in ROS production (54%) and in NO production (52%) together with a marked reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential (19%). These features, typical of the oxidative injury that accompanies AD, were partly recovered by galantamine. Galantamine reduced the release of reactive oxygen species (up to 50%) and prevented loss in mitochondrial activity. When SK-N-SH cells were treated with H(2)O(2) for 24h, nitrite generation was increased by twice compared with 2h. Galantamine treatment resulted in a significant inhibition of H(2)O(2)-induced nitrite generation whatever the concentration tested with a return to control values. Galantamine also concentration-dependently inhibited AChE activity (28-88%) in H(2)O(2)-SK-N-SH cells after 24h. This drug, which facilitates cholinergic neurotransmission, is also neuroprotective by lowering oxidative injury. Our study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms of protection of this acetylcholinest...Continue Reading

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.

Alzheimer's Disease: Amyloid Beta

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain; these plaques are comprised of amyloid beta deposits. Here is the latest research in this field.

Astrocytes & Amyloid

Astrocytes are thought to play a role in amyloid production and have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Here is the latest research on the relationship between astrocytes and amyloid.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.
