Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer disease: pathobiology and targeting strategies

TL;DR: Increasing evidence suggests that the effect of APOE*ε4 on AD risk is exerted through inhibition of amyloid-β (Aβ) clearance and promotion of Aβ aggregation, although the relevance of this observation to AD pathogenesis requires further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Alzheimer's disease mitochondrial cascade hypothesis: progress and perspectives.

TL;DR: The mitochondrial cascade hypothesis unequivocally states in sporadic, late-onset AD, mitochondrial function affects amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression, APP processing, or beta amyloids (Aβ) accumulation and argues if an amyloidal cascade truly exists, mitochondria function triggers it.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria and Mitochondrial Cascades in Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: This review considers studies and data that inform this area of AD research and suggests mitochondrial dysfunction exists independent of Aβ, potentially lies upstream of A β deposition, and suggest a primary mitochondrial cascade hypothesis that assumes mitochondrial pathology hierarchically supersedes Aβ pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age, APOE and sex: Triad of risk of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: The data indicate complex interactions between age, APOE genotype and gender that belies a one size fits all approach and argues for a precision medicine approach that integrates across the three main risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein E in Alzheimer's Disease: An Update

TL;DR: Emerging data suggest that APOE contributes to AD pathogenesis through both amyloid-β (Aβ)-dependent and Aβ-independent pathways and the utility of APOE genotyping in AD diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention, and treatment response is suggested.

Gene dose of apolipoprotein E type 4 allele and the risk of Alzheimer's disease in late onset families

TL;DR: The APOE-epsilon 4 allele is associated with the common late onset familial and sporadic forms of Alzheimer9s disease (AD) in 42 families with late onset AD.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases

TL;DR: Treatments targeting basic mitochondrial processes, such as energy metabolism or free-radical generation, or specific interactions of disease-related proteins with mitochondria hold great promise in ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Apolipoprotein E: high-avidity binding to beta-amyloid and increased frequency of type 4 allele in late-onset familial Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there was a highly significant association of apolipoprotein E type 4 allele (APOE-epsilon 4) and late-onset familial Alzheimer disease.

Apolipoprotein E: cholesterol transport protein with expanding role in cell biology.

TL;DR: Apolipoprotein E is a plasma protein that serves as a ligand for low density lipoprotein receptors and, through its interaction with these receptors, participates in the transport of cholesterol and other lipids among various cells of the body.

A Mitochondrial Paradigm of Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases, Aging, and Cancer: A Dawn for Evolutionary Medicine

TL;DR: The mitochondria provide a direct link between the authors' environment and their genes and the mtDNA variants that permitted their forbears to energetically adapt to their ancestral homes are influencing their health today.
