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.

Cytoprotective functions of amyloid precursor protein family members in stress signaling and aging [PDF]

, 2013
Poster presentation: Molecular Neurodegeneration: Basic biology and disease pathways Cannes, France. 10-12 September 2013. Background: The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is processed via two different metabolic pathways: the amyloidogenic and the non ...

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 ...

Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and GABAergic Neurotransmission

Cells, 2019
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is the parent polypeptide from which amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, key etiological agents of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are generated by sequential proteolytic processing involving β- and γ-secretases.

Dual Action of Memantine in Alzheimer Disease: A Hypothesis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2009
Objective: In this study, we proposed a hypothesis to explain the mechanisms of memantine action in treating Alzheimer disease (AD). Memantine may reduce the expression of amyloid precursor protein and tau protein, as well as acting as an antagonist of N-

Enzymatic Screening of β-Amyloid Precursor Protein-Based Substrates

Compounds, 2023
We performed an enzymatic screening of synthetic peptides based on β-amyloid precursor protein substrates. The template peptide sequence was a decapeptide derived from our previous screening study, which determined several effective unnatural amino acids.

BACE1 activity impairs neuronal glucose oxidation:rescue by beta-hydroxybutyrate and lipoic acid [PDF]

, 2015
Glucose hypometabolism and impaired mitochondrial function in neurons have been suggested to play early and perhaps causative roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Activity of the aspartic acid protease, beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)

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).

A thermodynamic investigation of amyloid precursor protein processing by human γ-secretase

Communications Biology, 2022
Thermodynamic analysis from unbiased molecular dynamics and bias-exchange metadynamics simulations reveals possible mechanisms on how γ-secretase cleaves the transmembrane domains of amyloid precursor protein into amyloid-β peptides.
