| Resumen: |
Alzheimer's disease is the commonest form of dementia. It is likely that a lack of clearance of amyloid beta (Aβ) results in its accumulation in the parenchyma as Aβ oligomers and insoluble plaques, and within the walls of blood vessels as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The drainage of Aβ along the basement membranes of blood vessels as intramural periarterial drainage (IPAD), could be improved if the driving force behind IPAD could be augmented, therefore reducing Aβ accumulation. There are alterations in the composition of the vascular basement membrane in Alzheimer's disease. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is an enzyme involved in the remodelling of the extracellular matrix and its expression and function is altered in various disease states. The expression of LOX is increased in Alzheimer's disease, but it is unclear whether this is a contributory factor in the impairment of IPAD in Alzheimer's disease. The pharmacological inhibition of LOX may be a strategy to improve IPAD and reduce the accumulation of Aβ in the parenchyma and within the walls of blood vessels. |
