Title

Alzheimer’s disease etiology: contribution of APP catabolites distinct from canonical Aβ

Abstract

Aβ has long been at the gravity center of AD pathology. Thus, the amyloid cascade predicts that Aβ accumulation corresponds to the etiological trigger of the disease. However, most of clinical assays aimed at preventing Ab formation or neutralizing it after production have failed so far. We showed that besides Aβ, APP-CTF fragments (namely C99) generated by an enzyme called b-secretase could well contribute to the pathology, before any Ab detection and independently of Aβ.

This seminar will gather recent evidences from our laboratory concerning the early presence of C99 in brain, its toxic phenotypes including endolysososmal perturbation and mitochondrial defects, its occurrence in exosomal vesicles and a genetic approach aimed at lowering its production. This seminar will explain the deleterious side-effects observed when targeting g-secretase in vivo, that could to some extent account for the drastic alterations observed in clinical trials.
