Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) and presenilin-2 (PS2) genes account for the majority of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease cases. Recent studies suggest that presenilin gene mutations predispose cells to apoptosis by mechanisms involving altered calcium homeostasis and oxidative damage. In the present study, we determined whether PS1 mutations also sensitize cells to hyperosmotic stress-induced...
