Autophagy impairment by caspase-1-dependent inflammation mediates memory loss in response to β-Amyloid peptide accumulation.

Abstract excerpt

β-Amyloid peptide accumulation in the cortex and in the hippocampus results in neurodegeneration and memory loss. Recently, it became evident that the inflammatory response triggered by β-Amyloid peptides promotes neuronal cell death and degeneration. In addition to inflammation, β-Amyloid peptides also induce alterations in neuronal autophagy, eventually leading to neuronal cell death. Thus, here we evaluated...
