Genetic Variations that Boost PKC Enzyme Contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease
PKC alpha is required for pathological consequences of amyloid beta plaques; mutations that enhance its activity found in patients with the disease

In Alzheimer’s disease, plaques of amyloid beta protein accumulate in the brain, damaging connections between neurons. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School have found that the enzyme Protein Kinase C (PKC) alpha is necessary for amyloid beta to damage neuronal connections. They also identified genetic variations that enhance PKC alpha activity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

The study, published May 10 in Science Signaling, may present a new therapeutic target for the disease.

“Until recently, it was thought that PKC helped cells survive, and that too much PKC activity led to cancer. Based on that assumption, many companies tested PKC inhibitors as drugs to treat cancer, but they didn’t work,” said co-senior author Alexandra Newton, PhD, professor of pharmacology at UC San Diego School of Medicine.

“Instead, we recently found that the opposite is true. PKC serves as the brakes to cell growth and survival, so cancer cells benefit when PKC is inactivated. Now, our latest study reveals that too much PKC activity is also bad, driving neurodegeneration. This means that drugs that failed in clinical trials for cancer may provide a new therapeutic opportunity for Alzheimer’s disease.”

The study was a three-way collaboration between experts in PKC (Newton), neuroscience (Roberto Malinow, MD, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Neurosciences and Neurobiology and holder of the Shiley-Marcos Endowed Chair in Alzheimer’s Disease in Honor of Dr. Leon Thal at UC San Diego School of Medicine) and genomics (Rudolph Tanzi, PhD, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School).

Matt Lindgren’s first internships allowed him to work with diverse populations and learn the newest therapeutic methods. At Las Tias Orphanage in Leon, Nicaragua, he used play therapy to evaluate and treat children living on the street. He also worked at the New College of California Community Counseling Center, using psychodynamic and play therapy to treat adults and children from the both the Latino and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) communities of San Francisco. While he was an intern at the Anthropos Counseling Center in Livermore, California, Matthew Lindgren learned therapeutic techniques such as somatic experiencing and eye movement desensitization and processing (EMDR).
