Metalloproteinase ADAMTS-1 but not ADAMTS-5 is manifold overexpressed in neurodegenerative disorders as Down syndrome, Alzheimer's and Pick's disease

Abstract

ADAMTS-1 is a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin 1 (TSP1)-like motifs with ubiquitous though variable expression. Natural substrates of this protease are proteoglycans as aggrecan and versican and null mutant mice propose a role for growth, fertility, organ structure and function. As the gene for this protein is encoded on chromosome 21 and maybe overexpressed due to the gene dosage hypothesis based upon the presence of a third chromosome in trisomy 21, we decided to study expression in Down syndrome (DS) brain and used brains of patients with Alzheimer's (AD) and Pick's disease (PD) as controls. Frontal cortex of controls, DS, AD and PD were homogenized and extracted proteins were used for immunoblotting using antibodies against ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-5. ADAMTS-1-immunoreactivity was manifold increased in brain with DS and neurodegeneration, whereas ADAMTS-5 levels were comparable. Overexpression of this metalloproteinase maybe specifically involved in proteoglycan degradation and handling in brain of patients with neurodegenerative disease which in turn may lead to or reflect pathological lesions in DS, AD and PD brain. The manifold overexpression of ADAMTS-1 may be used as marker protein for neurodegeneration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
