“…In cellular and animal models of Alzheimer's Disease, loss of retromer exacerbates synaptic and cognitive defects, and causes mislocalization of APP as well as its amyloidogenic protease BACE1, ultimately leading to increased Ab (Bhalla et al, 2012;Choy et al, 2012;Eggert et al, 2018;Li et al, 2019;Muhammad et al, 2008;Sullivan et al, 2011;Tan and Gleeson, 2019;Wen et al, 2011). Retromer levels are reduced in the entorhinal cortex of Alzheimer's Disease patients (Small et al, 2005), and it has therefore been proposed as a therapeutic target (Berman et al, 2015;Mecozzi et al, 2014). Further, a point mutation (Vps35 D620N ) in human retromer that disrupts interactions with the endosomal actin-regulating WASH complex (Harbour et al, 2010;Jia et al, 2012;Seaman et al, 2013), is linked to Parkinson's Disease and causes neurodegeneration in mice (Chen et al, 2019b;Cui et al, 2018).…”
