Abstract:
:The present study shows that cultured fibroblasts from sporadic Alzheimer's disease patients are deficient in protein kinase C-regulated secretion of amyloid precursor protein. In particular, Alzheimer fibroblasts show a reduced basal secretion and a reduced response at low concentrations of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, with an EC50 twofold higher than control fibroblasts. Furthermore, we observed that such defective regulation of the amyloid precursor secretion can possibly be correlated to a specific defect in protein kinase C alpha in fibroblasts from Alzheimer patients.
