Journal ArticleDOI
Release of Alzheimer Amyloid Precursor Derivatives Stimulated by Activation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
TL;DR: Stimulation of m1 and m3 receptor subtypes with carbachol increased the basal release of APP derivatives within minutes of treatment, indicating that preexisting APP is released in response to receptor activation and protein kinases mediate neurotransmitter receptor-controlled APP processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a membrane defect in Alzheimer disease brain.
Roger Nitsch,Jan Krzysztof Blusztajn,Anastassios G. Pittas,Barbara E. Slack,John H. Growdon,Richard J. Wurtman +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the phospholipid abnormalities described here are not an epiphenomenon of neurodegeneration and that they may be specific for the pathomechanism of Alzheimer disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of protein kinase C inhibits cellular production of the amyloid beta-protein.
Albert Y. Hung,Christian Haass,Roger Nitsch,Wei Qiao Qiu,Martin Citron,Richard J. Wurtman,John H. Growdon,Dennis J. Selkoe +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activation of the protein kinase C signal transduction pathways down-regulates the generation of the amyloidogenic A beta peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of amyloid beta-protein precursor derivatives by electrical depolarization of rat hippocampal slices.
TL;DR: Results suggest that neuronal activity regulates APP processing in the mammalian brain and suggest that action-potential formation mediates the release of large amino-terminal APP derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin 5-HT2a and 5-HT2c Receptors Stimulate Amyloid Precursor Protein Ectodomain Secretion
TL;DR: Serotonin receptors provide a novel pharmacological target to reduce these derivatives in Alzheimer's disease as generation of APPs precludes the formation of amyloidogenic derivatives.
