Because we also found Rac1b-positive neurons in the AD cortex, it will be interesting to determine whether these perikarya display a similar gene profile to that found in the NB cholinergic neurons. PubMed:22142809
Furthermore, single-cell gene expression profiling with custom-designed microarrays showed down-regulation of caveolin 2, GNB4, and lipase A in AD Rac1b-positive/p75NTR-labeled NB neurons compared with Rac1b-negative/p75NTRpositive perikarya in NCI. These proteins are involved in Rac1 pathway/cell cycle progression and lipid metabolism. PubMed:22142809

CBF tissues harvested from people who died with a clinical diagnosis of no cognitive impairment (NCI), mild cognitive impairment, or AD were immunolabeled for both p75NTR and Rac1b. Rac1b appeared as cytoplasmic diffuse granules, loosely aggregated filaments, or compact spheres in p75NTR-positive NB neurons. Although Rac1b colocalized with tau cytoskeletal markers, the percentage of p75NTR-immunoreactive neurons expressing Rac1b was significantly increased only in AD compared with both mild cognitive impairment and NCI.

Our data showed that CDK5 knock down induced an increase in p35 protein levels and Rac activity in triple transgenic Alzheimer's mice, which correlated with the recovery of cognitive function; these findings confirm that increased p35 and active Rac are involved in neuroprotection. In summary, our data suggest that p35 acts as a mediator of Rho GTPase activity and contributes to the neuroprotection induced by CDK5 RNAi. PubMed:27087442
