Here, we report that the expression of FAD-linked PS1 M146V mutant affects store-operated calcium channel activity (Isoc) in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells.
To elucidate the role of presenilin-1 in the Alzheimer's disease pathology, we tested two such mutations (P117L and M146L) for their effect in stably transfected mouse neuroblastoma cell lines.
To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of PS1 mutations linked to FAD, we established inducible mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro 2a) cell lines expressing the human wild-type (wt) or mutated PS1(M146L or deltaexon 10) under the control of the Lac repressor.
The influence of PS1 mutations on the generation of endogenous intracellular amyloid beta-protein (A beta) species was assessed using a highly sensitive immunoblotting technique with inducible mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro 2a) cell lines expressing the human wild-type (wt) or mutated PS1 (M146L or delta exon 10).
