Abstract:

Infections are a common co-morbidity in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and evidence suggests that infections can exacerbate neuroinflammation and increase cognitive decline in AD patients. In AD, immune changes are observed both in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the rest of the body. However, only a few studies have investigated immune responses to infection in AD. Here, two extensively studied infections, Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and Trichuris muris (T. muris) were used to investigate infection in AD. T. gondii is a protozoan parasite which is common globally, including in the develo

Abstract:

Metabolites are a potentially useful source of detecting and identifying disease specific biomarkers. This thesis investigates the possibility of using metabolomics applications to detect Alzheimer’s disease associated metabolite peaks in patients and to detect longitudinal changes of the disease. Serum samples and clinical data were collected from 60 healthy controls and 60 Alzheimer’s disease patients (60 at baseline and 60 at 12 month follow-up). The metabolic fingerprinting of serum samples using the FT-IR lacked discriminatory power to discriminate Alzheimer’s disease and non-disease samp

Abstract:

Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often have a family history of the disease, implicating genetics as a major risk factor. Three genes are currently known to cause familial early-onset AD (<65 years): the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the presenilins (PSEN1 and PSEN2). For the much more common late-onset disease (>65 years), only the APOE gene has repeatedly been associated to AD, where the ε4 allele increases disease risk and decreases age at onset. As APOE ε4 only explains part of the total estimated disease risk, more genes are expected to contribute to AD. This thesis has

Abstract:

Aggregation of amyloid-β in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is modulated in the presence of other amyloidogenic proteins including human cystatin C (hCC), which directly protects neuronal cells from Aβ-induced toxicity and inhibits fibril formation. Determination of the relevant conformations of the interacting Aβ and hCC is a key step to uncovering the molecular mechanism of hCC's activity in AD. A system for the production of recombinant Aβ1-40 has been established and is described here. It is also shown that hCC readily produces stable oligomeric species upon incubation in aggregating conditions,

The objective of this study was to identify subgroups in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), based on a dissociation in their performance on visuospatial tasks: one subgroup with predominant impairment on object recognition or the "What" system, and another subgroup with predominant impairment in spatial recognition or the "Where" system. Also, an attempt was made to clarify the relationship between attention on these two visuospatial processes. Amongst twenty-four patients with AD, we identified two pairs of patients with dissociated performances. However, except for one case, the dissoci

Abstract:

Damage precipitating cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) begins long before behavioural alterations become clinically apparent. At this prodromal stage, communication between networks of neurons connecting different brain regions starts to break down; setting in motion a chain of events leading to clinical AD. A significant challenge facing Alzheimer's researchers today is finding a cheap, easy-to-perform test capable of detecting prodromal AD. Such a test would afford significant benefits to patients, including a chance of early intervention. Perhaps, more importantly, it would also

Abstract:

Retrieval of autobiographical memories (AMs) is important for “sense of self”. Current theoretical understanding of AM retrieval predicts that working memory (WM) and executive functions (ExF) enable the hierarchical search for, and reliving of past, personal events in the mind’s eye. However, there remains a lack of consensus as to the nature of the relationships between these cognitive functions and semantic and episodic aspects of AM. The present study therefore aimed to explore the associations between these variables in a sample with a wide range of ability on measures of WM, ExF, and AM.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are featured by cholinergic and dopaminergic neuron loss, respectively. As a unique pathological hallmark of AD, neuritic plaques contain aggregated amyloid β protein (Aβ), generated from amyloid β precursor protein (APP). APP mutations cause familial AD; mutations in the alpha-synuclein (SNCA) and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) genes are associated with PD. Recent studies suggest that the level of LRRK2 affects its toxicity in neurons. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying LRRK2 expression would help to examine its p

Abstract:

Deposition of amyloid β protein (Aβ) to form neuritic plaques in the brain is the unique pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aβ is derived from the cleavages of amyloid β precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase at Asp-1 site and by γ-secretase. Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the β-secretase. It mainly cleaves APP within the Aβ region at the Glu-11 site to generate truncated Aβ species. Twenty-one kilodalton transmembrane trafficking protein, TMP21 (also named TMED10, p23) is a vesicular trafficking protein and a member of p24 family proteins. TMP21 mediates protein en

Next-generation sequencing is now being employed to identify more of the missing heritability.

The most studied epigenetic mark DNA methylation -the addition of a methyl group to cytosines located in CpG dinucleotides (5mC) - is known to change with aging and may reflect subtle changes in gene expression. Recently a second type of modified cytosine - a hydroxylated and methylated form (5hmC) - has been detected in the brain and maybe linked to the regulation of gene expression.
