Autophagy impairment stimulates PS1 expression and γ-secretase activity
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Gamma-secretase plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer disease (AD). Gamma-secretase activity is enriched in autophagic vacuoles and it augments amyloid-beta (Abeta) synthesis. Autophagy-lysosomal dysfunction has been implicated in AD, but whether gamma-secretase activity is affected by autophagy remains unclear. Here we report that gamma-secretase activity is enhanced in basal...
