Mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene are responsible for many cases of autosomal dominant earlyonset inherited Alzheimer's disease (AD). PS-1 is expressed in neurons where it is localized primarily to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); the normal function of PS-1 and its pathogenic mechanism in AD

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are supposed to play an important role in hypoxia-and ischemia/reperfusionmediated neuronal injury with the characteristics of apoptosis. There are many reports showing that cobalt chloride (CoCl 2 ) could mimic the hypoxic responses in some aspects including production
## Abstract Transcriptional activation of APβ1 is intricately involved in cell proliferation and transformation. The natural product, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) shows an inhibitory effect on the binding of jun/APβ1 protein to the APβ1 site in 12β__O__βtetradecanoylphorbolβ13βacetate (TPA)βsti
Tumor necrosis factor-β£ (TNFβ£) may play a role in at least some of the neuronal death that occurs following brain insults or in neurodegenerative diseases. It is therefore important to characterize the mechanism underlying apoptosis induced by TNFβ£ in neuronal cells and to identify factors capable o
The mechanism(s) underlying nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated rescue of neurons from apoptosis is poorly understood, although it is well established that the high-affinity NGF receptor (TrkA) plays a pivotal role in mediating NGF effects. The report that the low-affinity NGF receptor (p75 NGFR ) ca
