The Proton-Pump Inhibitor Lansoprazole Enhances Amyloid Beta Production
Figure 3
Lansoprazole raises Aβ40 production in mice.
A, Non-transgenic mice were treated 5 consecutive days with 100 kg/mg of lansoprazole (n = 10). Soluble Aβ40 and Aβ42 from brain extracts were measured by ELISA (n = 10± SD) p<0.05 (+). Lansoprazole increased Aβ40 levels in non-transgenic mice. B, 3xTg-ADwere treated 5 consecutive days with 100 kg/mg of lansoprazole (n = 6). Soluble Aβ40 and Aβ42 from brain extracts were measured by ELISA (n = 6± SD) p<0.05 (+), p<0.01 (*). Lansoprazole increased soluble Aβ40 levels in 3xTg-AD mice in a dose-dependent manner.
