FTI-1, an inhibitor of farnesyl transferase also known as L-744,832 [59], mimicked and potentiated statin-activated shedding, presumably by blocking transfer of isoprenoid moieties to a Rho protein by farnesyl transferase, and thereby decreasing Rho activity.
These results raise the possibility that the apparent beneficial effect of statins in the prevention of Alzheimer disease could be, at least in part, mediated by isoprenoid modulation of APP metabolism.
In our paper [2], we present evidence that the isoprenoid pathway contributes to statin-activated shedding of the APP ectodomain in cultured cells.
Further, we were able to demonstrate that α-secretase activity could be modulated by molecules further upstream in the isoprenoid pathway (see Figure 7).
Reduction in synthesis of mevalonate leads to decreased generation of a number of isoprenoid lipid derivatives.
