Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex age-related pathology, the etiology of which has not been firmly delineated. Among various histological stigmata, AD-affected brains display several cellular dysfunctions reflecting enhanced oxidative stress, inflammation process and calcium homeostasis disturbance. Most of these alterations are directly or indirectly linked to amyloid β-peptides (Aβ), the production, molecular nature and biophysical properties of which likely conditions the degenerative process. It is particularly noticeable that, in a reverse control process, the above-described cellular dysfunctions alter Aβ peptides levels. β-secretase βAPP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is a key molecular contributor of this cross-talk. This enzyme is responsible for the primary cleavage generating the N-terminus of "full length" Aβ peptides and is also transcriptionally induced by several cellular stresses. This review summarizes data linking brain insults to AD-like pathology and documents the key role of BACE1 at the cross-road of a vicious cycle contributing to Aβ production.

  • Both oxidative stress and inflammation increase BACE1 expression.

    “Interestingly, several studies have suggested that both oxidative stress and inflammation increase BACE1 expression (Chami & Checler 2012, Rossner et al. 2006, Tamagno et al. 2012).”

  • BACE1 expression is up-regulated by oxidative stress and inflammation.

    “Although BACE1 expression has been known to be up-regulated by oxidative stress and inflammation (Chami & Checler 2012, Rossner et al. 2006, Tamagno et al. 2012), our data suggest that miR-186 does not mediate the BACE1 induction by those aging-associated stresses.”

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.
