Focusing on IL-1-promotion of beta-amyloid precursor protein synthesis as an early event in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

A rationale for increased synthesis of beta-amyloid peptide percursor (APP) protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is developed in which Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a key role. This cytokine is elevated in AD, its receptors are on APP mRNA positive cells and it promotes APP gene expression. Potential involvement of the protease inhibitor (PI) activity of certain APP proteins in the activation process for IL-1 and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) are proposed. The possibility of feedback loops among IL-1, APP and NGF and the implications for neuronal survival and function are discussed.

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.

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.
