Overexpression of Tfam protects mitochondria against β‐amyloid‐induced oxidative damage in SH‐SY5Y cells
3 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
There is strong evidence that beta-amyloid (Abeta) causes oxidative stress and induces mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) has multiple roles in the maintenance of mtDNA. To study the protective roles of Tfam against amyloid neurotoxicity, we established SH-SY5Y cell lines stably overexpressing Tfam and exposed them to 10 microm...
