Alterations in Expression of Glutamatergic Transporters and Receptors in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract
Excitatory neurotransmitter dysfunction has been discussed to be involved in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the current study we investigated gene and protein expression patterns of glutamatergic receptors and transporters in brains of AD patients in various stages of disease using gene chip arrays, real time PCR and immunohistochemistry. We found marked impairment in the expression of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAAT1 and EAAT 2) at both gene and protein levels in hippocampus and gyrus frontalis medialis of AD patients, already in early clinical stages of disease. The loss of EAAT immunoreactivity was particularly obvious in the vicinity of amyloid plaques. In contrast, EAAT expression was up-regulated in the cerebellum of these patients. Furthermore, a significant up-regulation of the glutamatergic kainate (GRIK4) receptor observed by gene arrays was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR in late stages in the hippocampus of AD patients. Moreover, there were down-regulations of other glutamatergic receptors such as NMDA (GRINL1A) and AMPA (GRIA4) receptors. Our data show marked changes in the functional elements of the glutamatergic synapses such as glutamatergic receptors and transporters and indicate impaired glutamate clearing rendering neurons susceptible to excess extracellular glutamate and support further the involvement of excitotoxic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of 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.
