Excessive activation of NMDAR by soluble AβOs triggers disproportionate influx of Ca2+ into neurons, which leads to excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and loss of synapses (Zhao et al. 2004). PubMed:29196815
In contrast to Abeta, sAPPalpha has an important role in neuronal plasticity/survival and is protective against excitotoxicity [42,43]. sAPPalpha also regulates neural stem cell proliferation and is important for early CNS development [57,58] PubMed:21214928
We and others have also found that sAPPalpha can inhibit stress-induced CDK5 activation and participate in various neuroprotective reagent-mediated excitoprotection [44,59-61] PubMed:21214928
