BACE1 Dynamics Upon Inhibition with a BACE Inhibitor and Correlation to Downstream Alzheimer's Disease Markers in Elderly Healthy Participants.

TL;DR: This is the first reported finding that shows BACE1 levels in CSF were well correlated to its end product Aβ1 - 42, and follow-up studies including early-stage AD pathophysiology and prodromal AD patients will help to understand the importance of measuring Bace1 routinely in daily clinical practice and AD clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exchanging the extracellular domain of amyloid precursor protein for horseradish peroxidase does not interfere with alpha-secretase cleavage of the beta-amyloid region, but randomizes secretion in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells.

TL;DR: The default secretory pathway of COS cells and the basolateral (but not the apical) secretory pathways of MDCK cells are comparably sensitive to methylamine and not to bafilomycin, but both drugs strongly increased apical secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

BACE1 levels correlate with phospho-tau levels in human cerebrospinal fluid.

TL;DR: BACE1 levels in CSF of AD patients and other neurological disorder patients are slightly increased when compared to those of a non-neurological disorder control group (NND), suggesting that the recorded alterations in Bace1 levels correlate with cell death and neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell autonomous regulation of hippocampal circuitry via Aph1b-γ-secretase/neuregulin 1 signalling

TL;DR: Light is shed on the physiological role of Aph1b-γ-secretase in brain and a new mechanistic perspective on the relevance of NRG1 processing in schizophrenia is provided.
