20090156525 | Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 2 Clears Amyloid-Beta Peptide A cross the Blood-Brain Barrier via Apolipoprotein J - Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2) is a potential receptor to regulate the level of apolipoprotein J (apoJ) in the central nervous system, which is the major carrier of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). ApoJ is cleared from brain interstitial fluid (ISF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by LRP2-mediated transcytosis across epithelial and endothelial barriers. At physiological ISF/CSF levels, apoJ is rapidly transported by LRP2 across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Importantly, apoJ also substantially enhances clearance from the brain of amyloidogenic Aβ isoforms (i.e., higher β-sheet content such as Aβ42) as apoJ-Aβ by LRP2-mediated transport. | 06-18-2009 |
20090181911 | Role of gax in alzheimer neurovascular dysfunction - Neurovascular disorder critically contributes to the development and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Transcriptional profiling of human brain endothelial cells (BEC) defines a subset of age-independent genes significantly altered in AD including the homebox gene GAX whose expression controls vascular phenotype and is low in AD. By using viral-mediated GAX gene silencing and transfer, restoring GAX expression in AD BEC is angio-genic, transcriptionally suppresses the AFX1 forkhead transcription factor-mediated apoptosis, and increases the levels of a major amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) clearance receptor, the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) at the blood-brain barrier. In a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, deletion of the Gax gene results in reductions in brain capillary density and the resting cerebral blood flow, loss of angiogenic brain response to hypoxia, and an impaired Aβ brain efflux caused by reduced LRP-1 levels. The link of GAX gene to AD neurovascular dysfunction provides new mechanistic and therapeutic insights into AD. | 07-16-2009 |
