Health | Normally, astrocytes mount a vigorous inflammatory response to brain injuries, which includes increased levels of GFAP. The reported depression of GFAP levels may reflect impairment of astrocyte function and suggests that these cells may be the primary targets for aluminum neurotoxicity. (references) | |
When the scientists added a mixture of protease inhibitors to block the action of enzymes that cut ApoE into fragments, both the neurotoxicity and fragmentation of full-length ApoE were blocked, but the protease inhibitors had little or no effect on the other two forms of ApoE. This suggests that the neurotoxicity seen with the full-length ApoE is related to fragmentation. (references) | ||
They found that when soluble beta-amyloid is converted into a fibrillar form, it is much more likely to bind to certain protein receptors on the surface of neurons, including one for APP. Neurons without APP were less vulnerable to beta-amyloid's neurotoxicity than neurons with APP, indicating that the interaction of beta-amyloid with APP (and certain other surface proteins) may mediate beta-amyloid's toxicity.
