Secreted proteins are of tremendous biological interest since they can act as ligands for receptors to activate downstream signalling cascades or be used as biomarkers if altered abundance is correlated with a specific pathological state. Proteins can be secreted either as soluble molecules or as part of extracellular vesicles (i.e., exosomes or microvesicles). The complete proteomic profiling of secretomes requires analysis of secreted proteins and extracellular vesicles. Hence, the method described here enriches for microvesicles, exosomes, and secreted proteins from conditioned media using differential centrifugation. The three fractions are then analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics for in-depth characterization and comparison of the protein secretome of cell lines.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. It is characterized by dysfunction in the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) complex, which may precede TAU aggregation, enhancing premature polyadenylation, spliceosome dysfunction, and causing cell cycle reentry and death. Thus, we evaluated the effects of a synthetic single-stranded cDNA, called APT20TTMG, in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived neurons from healthy and AD donors and in the Senescence Accelerated Mouse-Prone 8 (SAMP8) model.

Background: The TREAT-AD centers aim to improve Alzheimer's Disease (AD) research by offering free, high-quality tools and technologies. Lyn is a tyrosine kinase that belongs to the Src family kinases. The expression of Lyn and its activity have been implicated in AD.

The aggregation of TDP-43, a crucial RNA-binding protein, is a consequence of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that disrupt its normal function. PTMs such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination contribute to the aberrant accumulation of TDP-43 aggregates, leading to neurodegenerative disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

Carrying two copies of APOE3Ch was sufficient to delay autosomal AD onset by 30 years. This remarkable protective effect makes it a strong candidate for uncovering new therapies against AD.

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), have been long thought to be independent of the peripheral immune system, but their pathogenesis status is functionally influenced by various T cell subsets in the periphery. Especially Treg cells are emerging as an important dynamic population in the brain, but the detailed immunological molecular and cellular processes are poorly characterized METHOD: We reported that the cell surface protein Lrig1 is enriched in Treg cells and is an essential regulator of the functions of Treg cells in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the functional importance of Treg cells in AD pathogenesis, the modulating mAb specific to Lrig1 (GTC 310-01) via intravenous injection route was administered into 5xFAD or 6xTg mice, the genetic mouse model of AD, and the various AD symptoms were investigated.
