Change of glycogen synthase kinase-3 activity in lymphocytes in patients with mild cognition impairment / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the change of glycogen synthase kinase-3(GSK-3) activity in lymphocytes in patients with mild cognition impairment(MCI).Methods The phosphorylation of GSK-3? at Ser 9 site and total level of GSK-3? in peripheral blood were measured by Western-blot in normal control group,one-year MCI group,two-year MCI group and three-year MCI group.Results The phosphorylation of GSK-3? at Ser 9 site were lower in 1-year MCI group,2-year MCI group and 3-year MCI group,compared with normal control group(all P0.05).Conclusion The activity of GSK-3 in lymphocytes in MCI patients is raised,which implies a subsidiary value of MCI diagnosis.
