Amyloid precursor protein modulates β-catenin degradation

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2007
Background The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Elucidating the function of APP should help understand AD pathogenesis and provide insights into therapeutic designs against this devastating ...

Amyloidosis in Alzheimer’s Disease: Pathogeny, Etiology, and Related Therapeutic Directions

Molecules, 2022
The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease has long been the predominant theory, suggesting that Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the accumulation of amyloid beta protein (Aβ) in the brain, leading to neuronal toxicity in the central nervous system ...

Herpes simplex virus interferes with amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]

, 2005
Background The early events underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain uncertain, although environmental factors may be involved. Work in this laboratory has shown that the combination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain and carriage of the

Amyloid precursor protein in pancreatic islets [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2017
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) has been extensively investigated for its role in the production of amyloid beta (Aβ), a plaque-forming peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Epidemiological evidence suggests type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for AD. The pancreas is an essential regulator of blood glucose levels through the secretion of the hormones ...

Ablation of Prion Protein in Wild Type Human Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) Transgenic Mice Does Not Alter The Proteolysis of APP, Levels of Amyloid-β or Pathologic Phenotype.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The cellular prion protein (PrPC) has been proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In cellular models PrPC inhibited the action of the β-secretase BACE1 on wild type amyloid precursor protein resulting in a ...

Axonal amyloid precursor protein and its fragments undergo somatodendritic endocytosis and processing. [PDF]

, 2015
Deposition of potentially neurotoxic Aβ fragments derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP) at synapses may be a key contributor to Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology of gene-targeted APP-SLxPS1mut mice expressing the amyloid precursor protein at endogenous levels

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
Most transgenic mice used for preclinical evaluation of potential disease-modifying treatments of Alzheimer's disease develop major histopathological features of this disease by several-fold overexpression of the human amyloid precursor protein.

Regressive Autism Spectrum Disorder: High Levels of Total Secreted Amyloid Precursor Protein and Secreted Amyloid Precursor Protein-α in Plasma

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and parochial interests.

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Ectodomain Shedding of the Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
