Although Alzheimer's disease pathologically affects the brain, familial Alzheimer's disease associated mutations of beta-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin are ubiquitously expressed and therefore aberrant intracellular signals, separate from but similar to, the brain may be expected. Here, we report selective down regulation of the serine/threonine kinase, Akt/PKB, concurrent with elevated endogenous GSK3beta kinase activity in familial Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid precursor protein expressing human embryonic kidney (HEK) and familial Alzheimer's disease presenilin lymphoblast cells. Further, familial Alzheimer's disease presenilin in the human lymphoblast was associated with beta-catenin destabilization. Moreover, limited immunohistochemistry analysis reveals Akt/PKB in a subset of neurofibrillary tangles where GSK3beta and tau have been reported to co-localize, suggesting a possible Akt/GSK3beta and tau interaction in vivo. Our data suggest that familial Alzheimer's disease mutants of beta-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin signal, at least in part, through the Akt/GSKbeta pathway and that Akt/GSK3beta-mediated signalling may contribute to the underlying Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis induced by familial Alzheimer's disease mutants. 相似文献

Divergent roles of GSK3 and CDK5 in APP processing 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) are related serine/threonine kinases that have been well studied for their role in tau hyperphosphorylation, however, little is known about their significance in APP processing. Here we report that GSK3 and CDK5 are involved in APP processing in a divergent manner. Specific inhibition of cellular GSK3 by lithium or GSK3beta antisense elicits a reduction in Abeta. Conversely, negative modulation of cellular CDK5 activity by CDK5 inhibitor, roscovitine, or CDK5 antisense stimulates Abeta production. Neither GSK3 nor CDK5 inhibition by these means significantly affected cellular APP levels or APP maturation. Moreover, oral administration of lithium significantly reduces Abeta production whereas direct ICV administration of roscovitine augmented Abeta production in the brains of PDAPP (APP(V717F)) mice. Our data support a function for both GSK3 and CDK5 in APP processing, further implicating these two kinases in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

Alzheimer's disease is characterized pathologically by extracellular amyloid beta protein (Abeta) deposition in the brain. The Abeta peptide, a 39-42 amino acid fragment, is derived from defined proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) [Glenner et al., Appl. Pathol. 2 (1984) 357-369; Selkoe, Neuron 6 (1991) 487-498] and is the primary component of senile plaques. Although it is known that intracellular APP is subjected to posttranslational modification, the molecular mechanism that regulates the APP processing is not completely clear. In the present study, we demonstrates that H89, a specific inhibitor for cAMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA), inhibits Abeta production and APP secretion in a dose dependent manner in cells stably transfected with human APP bearing a 'Swedish mutation'. Concurrent with the effect, H89 inhibits C-terminal fragment of the APP. We also found that the PKA inhibitor abolishes the mature form of intracellular APP and accumulates the immature form. Finally, direct administration of H89 into brains of transgenic mice overexpressing human APP shows that the compound inhibits Abeta production in the hippocampal region. Our data suggests that PKA plays an important role in the maturation of APP associated with APP processing. 相似文献

A full-length cDNA encoding taxadiene synthase (designated as TmTXS), which catalyzes the first committed step in the Taxol biosynthetic pathway, was isolated from young leaves of Taxus media by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length cDNA of TmTXS had a 2586 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 862 amino acid residues. The deduced protein had isoelectric point (pI) of 5.32 and a calculated molecular weight of about 98 kDa, similar to previously cloned diterpene cyclases from other Taxus species such as T. brevifolia and T. chinenisis. Sequence comparison analysis showed that TmTXS had high similarity with other members of terpene synthase family of plant origin. Tissue expression pattern analysis revealed that TmTXS expressed strongly in leaves, weak in stems and no expression could be detected in fruits. This is the first report on the mRNA expression profile of genes encoding key enzymes involved in Taxol biosynthetic pathway in different tissues of Taxus plants. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that TmTXS had closest relationship with taxadiene synthase from T. baccata followed by those from T. chinenisis and T. brevifolia. Expression profiles revealed by RT-PCR under different chemical elicitor treatments such as methyl jasmonate (MJ), silver nitrate (SN) and ammonium ceric sulphate (ACS) were also compared for the first time, and the results revealed that expression of TmTXS was all induced by the tested three treatments and the induction effect by MJ was the strongest, implying that TmTXS was high elicitor responsive. 相似文献

We purified an 80-kDa Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) from rat brain using octyl-Sepharose, ATP-agarose, and calmodulin-agarose column chromatography steps. This procedure gave a 30,000-fold purification and yielded 4 microg of a near-homogeneous iPLA2 with a specific activity of 4.3 micromol/min/mg. Peptide sequences of the rat brain iPLA2 display considerable homology to sequences of the iPLA2 from P388D1 macrophages, Chinese hamster ovary cells, and human B lymphocytes. Under optimal conditions, the iPLA2 revealed the following substrate preference toward the fatty acid chain in the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine: linoleoyl > palmitoyl > oleoyl > arachidonoyl. The rat brain iPLA2 also showed a head group preference for choline > or = ethanolamine > inositol. The iPLA2 is inactivated when exposed to pure phospholipid vesicles. The only exception is vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Studies on the regional distribution and ontogeny of various phospholipase A2 (PLA2) types in rat brain indicate that the iPLA2 is the dominant PLA2 activity in the cytosolic fraction, whereas the group IIA secreted PLA2 is the dominant activity in the particulate fraction. The activities of these two enzymes change during postnatal development. 相似文献
