Amyloid β precursor protein as a molecular target for amyloid β-induced neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease
2013, Neurobiology of AgingCitation Excerpt :Together, these evidences suggest that APP-mediated alterations in Go signaling contribute to the toxic effects elicited by Aβ assemblies. Also, it was found that molecules that bind APP and promote its multimerization such as transforming growth factor β2 and APP-specific antibodies (i.e., 22C11) induce toxicity by a Go-dependent mechanism (Hashimoto et al., 2003, 2005; Okamoto et al., 1995; Rohn et al., 2000; Sudo et al., 2000, 2001). Additional evidence suggests that multimerization of holo-APP at the plasma membrane induces additional alterations in intracellular signaling.
Neuroprotective secreted amyloid precursor protein acts by disrupting amyloid precursor protein dimers
2009, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, the proportion of APP cleaved by α-secretase is much higher than that cleaved by β-secretase in brain and can further increase severalfold (17) to the detriment of the major fraction of APP degraded intracellularly (74), Therefore, under conditions favorable for α-secretase cleavage (75), not only the ratio sAPPα/sAPPβ but also the total amount of sAPP is increased and may influence APP dimerization in the plasma membrane. As it had not been shown before that cell surface APP is already almost entirely predimerized, the known neurotoxic effect of certain antibodies (19–22, 24) could have been assumed to be exerted through the dimerization of cell surface APP. Rather, our novel data suggest that these antibodies act by retaining increased amounts of APP dimers at the cell surface and/or by inducing higher order APP aggregates.
Deposition of amyloid fibrils promotes cell-surface accumulation of amyloid β precursor protein
2004, Neurobiology of DiseaseThe Gtx Homeodomain Transcription Factor Exerts Neuroprotection Using Its Homeodomain
2004, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :In the pIND system, 1 μg of FAD gene (in pIND) with 1 μg of pEF4-hGtx (in pEF4/His) was transfected to F11/EcR cells; cells were then treated with EcD; and cell mortality was measured 72 h after the onset of transfection. The neurotoxicity by V642I-AβPP and NL-AβPP in pcDNA transfected by the 1.5-μg protocol was quantitatively comparable with neurotoxicity by these genes in pIND transfected by the pIND protocol (1 μg of pIND plasmid transfection and 40 μm EcD treatment) in the pIND system, as shown in multiple studies (13-15, 20-22, 24). In this pIND system, high induction of NL-AβPP causes DEVD-resistant non-apoptotic cell death different from DEVD-sensitive apoptotic cell death by its low induction, whereas low to high induction of V642IAβPP solely causes DEVD-sensitive cell death (13).
