Up-regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 and MEK1/2 is associated with the progression of neurofibrillary degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract
The abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been proposed to involve the extracellular-signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. ERK is phosphorylated and thereby activated by MAP kinase kinase (MEK). In the present study, we determined the intracellular and regional distribution of the active forms of both MEK1/2 and ERK1/2, i.e. p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in the entorhinal, hippocampal, and temporal cortices of 49 brains staged for neurofibrillary changes according to Braak and Braak's protocol. We found that p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 were present in the initial stages of neurofibrillary degeneration in the projecting neurons in the transentorhinal region, and extended into other brain regions co-incident with the progressive sequence of neurofibrillary changes up to and including Braak stage VI. It appeared that the accumulation of p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 was initiated in the cytoplasm of pretangle neurons in varying size granules, which grew into large aggregates co-existing with the progressive development of neurofibrillary tangles. Accumulation of p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 was found in cases with stages I-III neurofibrillary degeneration, which were devoid of amyloid deposition. These data provide direct in situ evidence consistent with the possible involvement of MAP kinase pathway in the hyperphosphorylation of tau and the presence of this lesion before deposition of beta-amyloid in AD.

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.
