Human Amylin Induces “Apoptotic” Pattern of Gene Expression Concomitant with Cortical Neuronal Apoptosis
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Amylin forms large beta-pleated neurotoxic oligomers but shows only 38% sequence similarity to A beta. As patterns of gene expression during neuronal apoptosis appear stimulus and cell type specific, we compared the pattern of amylin-induced gene expression in rat cortical neurons with that shown previously to be induced by A beta in order to evaluate whether these two peptides with different primary but similar...
