Aggregated Amyloid-β Protein Induces Cortical Neuronal Apoptosis and Concomitant “Apoptotic” Pattern of Gene Induction
15 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
To gain a molecular understanding of neuronal responses to amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta), we have analyzed the effects of Abeta treatment on neuronal gene expression in vitro by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and in situ hybridization. Treatment of cultured rat cortical neurons with Abeta1-40 results in a widespread apoptotic neuronal death. Associated with death is an induction of several members of the...
