Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 1 (PS1) gene mutations are the major causes of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease and are known to increase amyloid-beta42 (Abeta42) production as well as to promote apoptosis. We have recently reported that intracellular Abeta42 activates p53 mRNA expression and promotes p53-dependent apoptosis. Here, we examined the p53 mRNA and protein levels in cells transfected with wild-type and I143T/G384A...
