Neuronal COX-2 expression and phosphorylation of pRb precede p38 MAPK activation and neurofibrillary changes in AD temporal cortex

In Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, increased levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), cell cycle markers, and p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) can be detected in neuronal cells. Besides mediating COX-2 expression, p38 MAPK is suggested to mediate cell cycle progression through phosphorylation of the retinoblas...
