Is Cholesterol and Amyloid-[beta] Stress Induced CD147 Expression a Protective Response? Evidence that Extracellular Cyclophilin A Mediated Neuroprotection is Reliant on CD147

The CD147 protein is a ubiquitous multifunctional membrane receptor. Expression of CD147, which is regulated by sterol carrier protein, reportedly modulates amyloid- (A), the neurotoxic peptide implicated in neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given that high fat/cholesterol is linked...
