Abstract |
Deposition of amyloid beta protein as amyloid fibrils or non fibrillar aggregations in senile plaques characterizes the Alzheimer disease brain. Microtubule associated protein tau is abnormally phosphorylated in AD and aggregates as paired helical filaments (PHFs) in neurofibrillary tangles. The purpose of this study were 1) to identify the entorhinal cortex pathway in the normal rat brain after PRV injection, 2) whether amyloid beta 1-42 injection caused the hyperphosphorylation of tau along the entorhinal cortex CNS pathway. For analysis, rats were sacrificed at 48 hours after PRV injection or cut, at 7 days after amyloid beta 1-42 injection. Brains were processed for immunohistochemistry against PRV. tau-P, or 6E10. PRV positive neurons were observed in several CNS nuclei including hippocampus, and tau-p neurons area appeared in several nuclei including TM. These data suggest that the hyperphosphorylated tau has been increased in the CNS nuclei along entorhinal cortex pathway, and this may cause memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease patients. |
