Amyloid cascade hypothesis: Pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's disease

Barage, Sagar H., Sonawane, Kailas D.·2015·Neuropeptides

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Various therapeutic approaches are being used to improve the cholinergic neurotransmission, but their role in AD pathogenesis is still unknown. Although, an increase in tau protein concentration in CSF has been described in AD, but several issues remains unclear. Extensive and accurate analysis of CSF could be helpful to define presence of tau proteins in physiological conditions, or released during the progression of neurodegenerative disease. The amyloid cascade hypothesis postulates that the neurodegeneration in AD caused by abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques in various areas of the brain. The amyloid hypothesis has continued to gain support over the last two decades, particularly from genetic studies. Therefore, current research progress in several areas of therapies shall provide an effective treatment to cure this devastating disease. This review critically evaluates general biochemical and physiological functions of Aβ directed therapeutics and their relevance.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Low levels of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), somatostatin and neuropeptide Y, and higher levels of Angiotensin II, are likely involved in either irregular cleavage of APP or impaired removal of Aβ1-42 fragment.

    “Apart from the genetic mutations, many neuropeptides are likely to be involved in the formation of the plaque for e.g. low levels of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), somatostatin and neuropeptide Y levels whereas higher levels of Angiotensin II are likely to be involved in either irregular cleavage of the APP or impaired removal of Aβ1-42 fragment [2].”
  • Aβ plaque comprises Aβ peptides obtained from amyloid precursor protein (APP) by enzymatic cleavage via secretases (α, β and γ).

    “The Aβ plaque comprises of Aβ peptides obtained from amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the enzymatic cleavage via secretases (α, β and γ) [2].”

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.
