Retinoic acid induced differentiated neuroblastoma cells show increased expression of the βA4 amyloid gene of Alzheimer's disease and an altered splicing pattern
3 Sept 1990
Abstract excerpt
Retinoic acid (RA) induced differentiation of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells is associated with more than a tenfold induction of total Alzheimer's disease beta A4 amyloid protein precursor (APP) mRNA as analyzed by Northern blot hybridisation. S1 nuclease protection experiments reveal that the splicing pattern of these differentiated cells is altered in favor of APP695 mRNA, coding for the shortest amyloidogenic...
