Hijacking PrPc-dependent signal transduction: when prions impair Aβ clearance

Résumé

The cellular prion protein PrPc is the normal counterpart of the scrapie prion protein PrPSc, the main component of the infectious agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The recent discovery that PrPc can serve as a receptor for the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide and relay its neurotoxicity is sparking renewed interest on this protein and its involvement in signal transduction processes. Disease-associated PrPSc shares with Aβ the ability to hijack PrPc-dependent signaling cascades, and thereby instigate pathogenic events. Among these is an impairment of Aβ clearance, uncovered in prion-infected neuronal cells. These findings add another facet to the intricate interplay between PrPc and Aβ. Here, we summarize the connection between PrP-mediated signaling and Aβ clearance and discuss its pathological implications.
