DNA damage and apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease: colocalization with c- Jun immunoreactivity, relationship to brain area, and effect of postmortem delay
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Many neurons in Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) labeling for DNA strand breaks with a distribution suggestive of apoptosis. We have shown previously that immunoreactivity for c-Jun is elevated in AD and found in association with neuronal pathology. In addition, cultured neurons undergoing beta-amyloid-mediated apoptosis exhibit a selective and prolonged induction of...
