Disease relevance of Psen2

  • Both mechanisms by M239V-PS2 were suppressed by pertussis toxin (PTX) and were mediated by Galpha(o), but not by Galpha(i) [1].
  • Therapeutic actions of insulin-like growth factor I on APP/PS2 mice with severe brain amyloidosis [2].
  • Nonetheless, these results collectively suggest that the novel PS-2 alleles described here, especially R71W, affect PS-2 function and may potentially confer a moderate risk of susceptibility to breast cancer [3].
  • Two dominant fractions, designated as PS-1 and PS-2, were tested for adjuvant activity in mice immunized with ovalbumin, and hens immunized with rotavirus [4].

Anatomical context of Psen2

  • We investigated the impact of PS/gamma-secretase on mitochondrial function using mouse embryonal fibroblasts derived from wild-type, PS1-/-, PS2-/- and PS double knock-out (PSKO) embryos [14].
  • Measurements of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim) showed a higher percentage of fully functional mitochondria in PS1-/- and PSwt as compared to PS2-/- and PSKO cells [14].
  • PS2-/- cells showed a significantly lower basal respiratory rate as compared to other cell lines [14].
  • Profiles of amyloid precursor and presenilin 2-like proteins are correlated during development of the mouse hypothalamus [15].
  • Decreases in activities of the NF-kappaB, AP-1 and SP-1 transcription factors, which could act as antiapoptotic factors, in the presenilin 2 transfected PC12 cells, either in nontreatment conditions or under apoptotic stimulation, were found in this study [16].
