Amyloid-β(1-42) (Aβ) is thought to be a major mediator of the cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease. The ability of Aβ to inhibit hippocampal long-term potentiation provides a cellular correlate of this action, but the underlying molecular mechanism is only partially understood. We found that a signaling pathway involving caspase-3, Akt1 and glycogen synthase kinase-3β is an important mediator of this effect in rats and mice.
淀粉样蛋白β(1-42)(Aβ)被认为是阿尔茨海默病认知缺陷的主要介质。Aβ 抑制海马长时程增强的能力为这种作用提供了一个细胞相关性,但潜在的分子机制仅部分被理解。我们发现,涉及半胱天冬酶-3、Akt1 和糖原合酶激酶-3β的信号通路是大鼠和小鼠中这种作用的重要介导物。
