Western blot analysis for the relative expression of major Aβ cleaving enzymes. The relative expression of (a) α-secretase, (b) β-secretase, (c) γ-secretase [Presenilin-1 (PSEN-1); Presenilin-2 (PSEN-2); Nicastrin], (d) Plasmin, and (e) Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) in non-demented controls, sAD and rpAD cases depicted no significant differences (n = 6–12). (f) However, the higher expression of β-secretase in comparison to α-secretase indicated differences in amyloidogenic processing between the two variants. All blots were subjected to total protein normalization. Densitometric analysis was conducted using data from three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, was used for statistical analysis. Error bars represent SEM. (**p ≤ 0.01)
