Antagonizing the extracellular interaction between cell-surface APP and LRP increased the level of cell surface APP while decreasing Abeta generation [187] PubMed:21214928
Although excessive Abeta causes synaptic dysfunction and synapse loss [142], low levels of Abeta increase hippocampal longterm potentiation and enhances memory, indicating a novel positive, modulatory role on neurotransmission and memory [158,159] PubMed:21214928
However, a recent study blocking the conversion of testosterone to estrogen found an estrogen-independent improvement in cognitive function and lowering of plaque formation along with a decrease in BACE1 mRNA, protein level, and activity [211]. In addition, testosterone may also reduce the protein level of PS1 [196] PubMed:21214928
APP interaction with mint proteins has been shown to affect APP processing by stabilizing cellular APP, altering both sAPPalpha and Abeta generation and secretion [166] PubMed:21214928
