Abstract excerpt
Beta-secretase (BACE1), an enzyme responsible for the production of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), is increased by oxidative stress and is elevated in the brains of patients with sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we show that oxidative stress fails to induce BACE1 expression in presenilin-1 (gamma-secretase)-deficient cells and in normal cells treated with gamma-secretase inhibitors. Oxidative...
