    • Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 19 susceptibility loci for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, understanding how these genes are involved in the pathophysiology of AD is one of the main challenges of the “post-GWAS” era. At least 123 genes are located within the 19 susceptibility loci; hence, a conventional approach (studying the genes one by one) would not be time- and cost-effective. We therefore developed a genome-wide, high-content siRNA screening approach and used it to assess the functional impact of gene under-expression on APP metabolism. We found that 832 genes modulated APP metabolism. Eight of these genes were located within AD susceptibility loci. Only FERMT2 (a β3-integrin co-activator) was also significantly associated with a variation in cerebrospinal fluid Aβ peptide levels in 2886 AD cases. Lastly, we showed that the under-expression of FERMT2 increases Aβ peptide production by raising levels of mature APP at the cell surface and facilitating its recycling. Taken as a whole, our data suggest that FERMT2 modulates the AD risk by regulating APP metabolism and Aβ peptide production.

  • Effect of recombinant human growth hormone on exercise capacity in patients with HIV-associated wasting on HAART.
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: The AIDS reader. - 1053-0894. ; 15:6
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Over 700 patients with HIV-associated wasting while receiving HAART were randomly assigned to double-blind treatment for 12 weeks with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) daily or on alternate days, or to placebo. Maximum exercise intensity increased by a median of 2.35kJ in the alternate-days group and 2.60 kJ in the daily group but decreased by 0.25kJ in the placebo group. The median difference between the daily and placebo groups was 2.85 kJ (P < .0001). These improvements suggest that rhGH treatment may enable patients with wasting to perform activities of daily living that would be exhausting without rhGH treatment.
