Resumo

Alzheimer"s disease and prion pathologies (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) display profound neural lesions associated with aberrant protein processing and extracellular amyloid deposits. For APP processing, emerging data suggest that the adaptor protein Dab1 plays a relevant role in regulating its intracellular trafficking and secretase-mediated proteolysis. Although some data have been presented, a putative relationship between human prion diseases and Dab1/APP interactions is lacking. Therefore, we have studied the putative relation between Dab1, APP processing and Aβ deposition, targets in sCJD cases. Our biochemical results categorized two groups of sCJD cases, which also correlated with PrPsc types 1 and 2 respectively. One group, with PrPsc type 1 showed increased Dab1 phosphorylation, and lower βCTF production with an absence of Aβ deposition. The second sCJD group, which carried PrPsc type 2, showed lower levels of Dab1 phosphorylation and βCTF production, similar to control cases. Relevant Aβ deposition in the second sCJD group was measured. Thus, a direct correlation between Dab1 phosphorylation, Aβ deposition and PrPsc type in human sCJD is presented for the first time.
