Figure 10. Figure 4. Illustrative representation of ε, δ and γ PKCs, and RACKs levels in particulate/membrane fractions of rat hippocampus at three different ages, young (Y), middle age (M) and old (O). A different level of ε, δ and γ PKCs in the brain across age may explain the age-related reduction of IPC protection and higher susceptibility of aged brain for cognitive disorders and neurodegeneration. These animal ages reflect a human age of 18, 30/40, and >60 years old, respectively. In the particulate fraction, where activated PKCs translocate, no significance differences were observed in γPKC (blue) and in δPKC (red) expression across the three age groups. However, εPKC (black) levels were lower in the particulate fraction of aged hippocampi compared to the young and middle-aged groups (as represented by the different color intensity, grey). This alteration may explain, at least in part, the greater incidence of AD and damage after cerebral ischemia in elderly individuals (a). The presence of εPKC activators has been demonstrated to restore IPC protection mechanisms in aged brain and to reduce susceptibility to AD and other neurodegenerative diseases where PKCs are involved (b). The red circle with a slash in it represents an inhibitory effect.
