Evidence that free-radical production and oxidative stress are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease is increasing. Our laboratory recently found two advanced glycosylation end products associated with the pathological neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques of Alzheimer’s disease. These glycation-related posttranslational modifications are known to be initiated and potentiated during periods of oxidative stress. Further, we have also demonstrated that heme oxygenase-1, an enzyme induced during oxidative stress and involved in the production of antioxidant molecules, is found in close association with the pathological lesions; being almost completely absent in control brains.We present evidence that the seminal features of Alzheimer’s disease, including amyloid-P deposition, neurofibrillary tangle formation, degeneration of specific neuronal populations, and the persistence of the pathological lesions in vivo and their relative insolubility in vitro may all be related to specific oxidative stress-type mechanisms.
