β-Amyloid Peptides Decrease Soluble Guanylyl Cyclase Expression in Astroglial Cells

In astroglial cells β-amyloid peptides (βA) induce a reactive phenotype and increase expression of NO synthase. Here we show that treatment of rat brain astrocytes with βA decreases their capacity to accumulate cyclic GMP (cGMP) in response to NO as a result of a decreased expression of soluble guan...
