A third downstream mediator is the PLCgamma pathway [94,95]. PLCgamma pathway dysfunction may play a role in Ca2+-mediated cellular degeneration in aging and disease by affecting oxidative stress systems [96]. PubMed:18986241
Despite a putative beneficial role for increased CBF neuron alpha7 nAChR expression in AD (that may also be relevant to smoking behavior), evidence suggests that increased alpha7 nAChR expression contributes to cellular degeneration. Notably, alpha7 nAChR binds and/or interacts with APP and Ab peptides [123–125]. Increased NB neuronal alpha7 nAChR expression may arise as a compensatory response that is offset by aberrant Ab-alpha7 nAChR interactions, leading to cholinergic dysfunction. PubMed:18986241
