Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by protein misfolding and aggregation, affecting brain function and causing dementia. Amyloid beta (Aβ), a peptide deriving from amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage by-and γ-secretases, is considered a pathological hallmark of AD. Our previous study, together with several lines of evidence, identified a strict link between APP, Aβ and 37/67kDa laminin receptor (LR), finding the possibility to regulate intracellular APP localization and maturation through modulation of the receptor. Here, we report that in fibroblasts from familial AD (fAD), APP was prevalently expressed as an immature isoform and accumulated preferentially in the transferrin-positive recycling compartment rather than in the Golgi apparatus. Moreover, besides the altered mitochondrial network exhibited by fAD patient cells, the levels of pAkt and pGSK3 were reduced in respect to healthy control fibroblasts and were accompanied by an increased amount of secreted Aβ in conditioned medium from cell cultures. Interestingly, these features were reversed by inhibition of 37/67kDa LR by NSC47924 a small molecule that was able to rescue the "typical" APP localization in the Golgi apparatus, with ...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.

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.
