Abstract

Epidemiology,in vitro, and in vivo studies strongly implicate a role for cholesterol in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have examined the impact of aberrant intracellular cholesterol transport on the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in a mouse model of Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease. In the NPC mouse brain, cholesterol accumulates in late endosomes/lysosomes. This was associated with the accumulation of β-C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of APP, but the level of β-secretase and its activity were not affected. α-Secretase activity and secreted APPα generation were also not affected, suggesting CTFs increased because of decreased clearance. The level of presenilin-1 (PS-1) was unchanged, but γ-secretase activity was greatly enhanced, which correlated with an increase in Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels. These events were associated with abnormal distribution of PS-1 in the endosomal system. Our results show that aberrant cholesterol trafficking is associated with the potentiation of APP processing components in vivo, leading to an overall increase in Aβ levels.

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.
