lüll Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta: a mediator of inflammation in Alzheimer s disease?Koistinaho J; Malm T; Goldsteins GInt J Alzheimers Dis 2011[]; 2011 (ä): 129753Proliferation and activation of microglial cells is a neuropathological characteristic of brain injury and neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's disease. Microglia act as the first and main form of immune defense in the nervous system. While the primary function of microglia is to survey and maintain the cellular environment optimal for neurons in the brain parenchyma by actively scavenging the brain for damaged brain cells and foreign proteins or particles, sustained activation of microglia may result in high production of proinflammatory mediators that disturb normal brain functions and even cause neuronal injury. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta has been recently identified as a major regulator of immune system and mediates inflammatory responses in microglia. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta has been extensively investigated in connection to tau and amyloid beta toxicity, whereas reports on the role of this enzyme in neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease are negligible. Here we review and discuss the role of glycogen synthase-3beta in immune cells in the context of Alzheimer's disease pathology.ä |
