Transcriptional regulation and its misregulation in Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of memory and cognitive function. A key neuropathological event in AD is the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. The production and clearance of Aβ in the brain are regulated by a large group of genes. The expression levels of these genes must be fine-tuned in the brain to keep Aβ at a balanced amount under physiological condition. Misregulation of AD genes has been found to either increase AD risk or accelerate the … Show more

“…Thus, the increased NF-κB activation in post-mortem AD brain could either be a protective response or a trigger for neurodegeneration and apoptosis, and at least one reason for this uncertainty lies in the fact that NF-κB activation leads to both upregulation of pro-survival and pro-apoptotic genes or pro-oxidant and antioxidant genes [52]. Another important issue in the NF-κB and AD connection is the regulation of amyloid beta homeostasis through transcriptional upregulation of various related enzymes and proteins especially APP and BACE1 [106]. The type 1 integral protein APP is coded by a gene located in chromosome 21and undergoes alternative splicing to generate several isoforms of the protein of which the one with 695 amino acids is present in the brain [107].…”

“…Transcription factors such as Sp1, HIF1, YY1, NFќB are known to regulate BACE1 at transcriptional level . As stabilization of BACE1 by ORP150 occurs at protein level, we investigated whether ORP150 also regulates BACE1 gene transcription.…”

“…For example, nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) signaling plays an important role in gene regulation and is implicated in inflammation . Recently, many reports have shown that NF‐κB also regulates BACE1 transcription . Additionally, many natural products exhibit neuroprotective effects via multiple molecular mechanisms .…”
