Breaking the Cycle, Cholesterol Cycling, and Synapse Damage in Response to Amyloid-β
Soluble amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers, a key driver of pathogenesis in Alzheimer disease, bind to cellular prion proteins (PrP C ) expressed on synaptosomes resulting in increased cholesterol concentrations, movement of cytoplasmic phospholipase A 2 (cPLA 2 ) to lipid rafts and activation of cPLA 2 . The...
