γ-Secretase is Differentially Modulated by Alterations of Homocysteine Cycle in Neuroblastoma and Glioblastoma Cells
29 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Multiple aspects of homocysteine metabolism were studied to understand the mechanism responsible for hyperhomocysteinemia toxicity in Alzheimer disease. Besides oxidative stress and vascular damage, homocysteine has also a great importance in regulating DNA methylation through S-adenosylmethionine, the main methyl donor in eukaryotes. Alterations of S-adenosylmethionine and methylation were evidenced in Alzheimer...
