<i>CHRFAM7A</i> overexpression in human iPSC-derived Interneurons dysregulates α7- nAChR surface expression and alters response to oligomeric β-amyloid peptide
2024-06-05
Abstract excerpt
The α7 neuronal nicotinic receptor (α7-nAChR) gene, CHRNA7 , is widely expressed within the brain and at the periphery. It plays various important roles in cognition and immune functions. Decreased expression of α7-nAChR has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) triggered by the accumulation of the 42-amino acid beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ 1-42 ). The interactions of this peptide with α7-nAChR may represent...
