Presenilin Redistribution Associated with Aberrant Cholesterol Transport Enhances β-Amyloid Production<i>In Vivo</i>
2 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
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...
