Asselin et al. reported that using the cerebellum as a reference region could lead to underestimation of BPND and occupancy rate. However, we showed no statistical difference in VT on the cerebellum estimated by Logan plot method before and after administration of pramipexole 0.25 mg, and at least our data, especially in the high-dose group, would be appropriate for the purpose of confirming the extrastriatal effects of a dopamine agonist. Other drawbacks of this study may be that we collected arterial blood samples only from the high-dose group, the number of subjects was relatively small and a dose of pramipexole was relatively low for safety, as described previously. In conclusion, we demonstrated that pramipexole binds to D2/ D3 receptors in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and medial and lateral thalamus. These regions have been indicated to have some relation to depression and may be part of the target sites where pramipexole exerts its antidepressive effects. Despite the detailed understanding of this MK-1775 complex two-promoter system, the purpose of having two promoters for a single operon remains unclear. Fragment and vector are mixed and annealed to each other in the absence of ligases.The e4 allele of ApoE predisposes to AD while the e2 allele is protective. ApoE2 has been shown to have a very low binding capacity to the LDLR compared to ApoE3 or ApoE4. This difference in the binding ability to LDLR has lead to the hypothesis that LDLR is a potential mediator of the differential effect of the ApoE alleles on Ab clearance and aggregation. Previous studies where the LDLR gene was deleted or over-expressed in AD transgenic mice indeed confirmed the role of the LDLR in amyloid deposition. In all these studies LDLR was shown to regulate ApoE levels in the brain suggesting that ApoE is possibly the key mediator of the effect on amyloid deposition. Nevertheless GDC-0879 deletion of LDLR in huAPP transgenic mice into two separate studies resulted in opposing evidence on the effect of LDLR deletion in amyloid deposition, with one study having no effect and the other showing a significant increase. To clarify the role of LDLR deficiency in amyloid deposition in a huAPP transgenic mouse model we generated and analyzed a novel huAPP/PS1 transgenic mouse deficient for LDLR. Also in the present study we examined whether LDLR effect on amyloid deposition is dependent on ApoE, or whether LDLR can exert any effect independent of ApoE on the pathogenesis of the amyloid related phenotype in this AD mouse model. ApoE has a major impact on the generation of amyloid deposits in the AD mouse brain and deletion.
