The link between cholesterol homeostasis and the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), and their relationship to the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease (AD) is still unknown. Cellular cholesterol levels are regulated by a crosstalk between the plasma membrane (PM), where most of the cholesterol resides, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where the protein machinery that regulates cholesterol resides. This crosstalk between PM and ER is believed to be regulated by lipid-sensing peptide(s) that can modulate the internalization of extracellular cholesterol and/or its de novo synthesis in the ER. Our data here indicates that the 99-aa C-terminal fragment of APP (C99), a cholesterol-binding peptide, regulates cholesterol trafficking between the PM and the ER. In AD models, increases in C99 provoke the upregulation of cholesterol internalization and its delivery to the ER, which in turn result into the loss of lipid homeostasis and the appearance of AD signatures, such as higher production of longer forms of amyloid {beta}. Our data suggest a novel role of C99 as mediator of cholesterol disturbances in AD, and as a potential early hallmark of the disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
