Acetylcholinesterase is increased in mouse neuronal and astrocyte cultures after treatment with β-amyloid peptides
2003
The cellular origin of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) associated with amyloid plaques in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain is unknown. In this study we report that amyloid β-peptides (Aβ) increased AChE levels in both neuronal and astrocytic primary cultures, supporting the possibility that both neurons and glia may make a direct contribution to the pool of AChE seen around amyloid deposits in the AD brain.
