摘要
Most cases of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) involve mutations in presenilins (PSI and PS2) genes. The C-terminal portion of PS2 is a homologue with an apoptosis-linked gene (ALG-3). To characterise the role of PSI in apoptosis, we overexpressed the corresponding C-terminal fragment of PSI (PS1-f) under the control of the tetracycline-responsive transactivator in Jurkat cells. The tight regulation of the expression of the 11 kDa PS1-f peptide was verified. A 50% inhibition of anti-fas induced apoptosis was observed upon PS1-f transient overexpression compared to the repressed state. Stable transfectants selectively overexpressing PS1-f revealed a transient protective effect of 30% after apoptosis induction. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
