Analysis of HSPA8 and HSPA9 mRNA Expression and Promoter Methylation in the Brain and Blood of Alzheimer's Disease Patients
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in elderly. Chaperones may have a crucial role in AD due to their involvement in protein quality control, folding, and degradation. In this study, we investigated the mRNA and promoter DNA methylation levels of two chaperones, HSPA8 and HSPA9, in postmortem brain tissue (entorhinal and auditory cortices and hippocampus) from healthy elderly and AD...
