Disturbance in cholesterol homeostasis appears to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) levels in the nuclear extracts of human neuroblastoma cells and the possible interaction of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and cholesterol with this transcription factor. In this study,...
Statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, have been reported to attenuate amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) production in various cellular models. However, the mechanisms by which statins affect neuronal Aβ production have not yet been clarified. Here, we investigated this issue in rat primary cortical neurons using two statins, pitavastatin (PV) and atorvastatin (AV). Treatment...
