Early-onset and robust amyloid pathology in a new homozygous mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Transgenic mice expressing mutated amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin (PS)-1 or -2 have been successfully used to model cerebral beta-amyloidosis, one of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However,

Neuregulin-1 Exerts Protective Effects Against Neurotoxicities Induced by C-Terminal Fragments of APP via ErbB4 Receptor

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) plays important roles in the development and plasticity of the brain, and it is also reported to have potent neuroprotective properties.

Intracellular pH regulates amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain accumulation

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism is central to pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Parenchymal amyloid deposits, a neuropathological hallmark of AD, are composed of amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta).

Differential autophagy cargo engagement in amyloid-β-induced neuronal toxicity

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive neuronal loss and the accumulation of misfolded proteins. In Alzheimer's disease, several pathogenic protein species, including amyloid precursor protein, amyloid beta, tau, phosphorylated tau ...

A guide to selecting high-performing antibodies for amyloid-beta precursor protein for use in Western Blot, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

F1000Research
The amyloid-beta precursor protein is a transmembrane protein expressed in many tissues and highly concentrated in the brain. The protein is of significant interest due to its involvement in the generation of amyloidogenic β-amyloid peptides, prone to ...

CCL2 accelerates microglia-mediated Abeta oligomer formation and progression of neurocognitive dysfunction.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe linkages between neuroinflammation and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis are well established. What is not, however, is how specific immune pathways and proteins affect the disease.

HIV-1 counteracts an innate restriction by amyloid precursor protein resulting in neurodegeneration

Nature Communications, 2017
HIV infection results in elevated beta-amyloid (Aβ) levels in the brain, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that amyloid precursor protein inhibits virion production and that HIV Gag, counteracting this antiviral function ...

Remodeling Alzheimer-amyloidosis models by seeding

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2021
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is among the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, with brain pathology defined by extracellular amyloid beta deposits and intracellular tau aggregates.

Cytotoxic aggregation and amyloid formation by the myostatin precursor protein.

PLoS ONE, 2010
Myostatin, a negative regulator of muscle growth, has been implicated in sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). sIBM is the most common age-related muscle-wastage disease with a pathogenesis similar to that of amyloid disorders such as Alzheimer's and ...
