Research interest
Haipeng Cheng (PDF sponsored by Gopal
Thinakaran)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder,
pathologically characterized by the accumulation of A b peptides.
There has been considerable epidemiological interest in the relationship
between cholesterol and susceptibility to AD. Growing evidence
indicates that amyloidogenic processing of APP occurs in cholesterol-
and sphingolipid-enriched detergent-insoluble membrane (DIM)
domains, termed lipid rafts. Cholesterol level modulates beta-amyloid
(A b) production and significant amounts of A b are found in
lipid rafts isolated from brain. Furthermore, our previous studies
showed that components of the g-secretase complex (PS1-derivatives,
mature nicastrin, APH-1 and PEN-2) and APP CTFs are present in
lipid rafts isolated from cultured cells and adult brain. All
these findings suggest that lipid rafts of cellular membranes
serve as platforms for amyloidogenic processing of APP and A
b oligomerization. My ongoing studies are investigate mechanisms
underlying recruitment and retention of γ-secretase in
lipid rafts.

I am generating transgenic mouse models to study the functional
importance of specific classes of spinal interneurons during
locomotor behavior. I am ablating or altering the function of
specific subsets of spinal interneurons in the adult mouse and
assessing any changes in locomotor function using motion capture
photography and kinematic analysis of limb movements during treadmill
locomotion.

My research for more than 10 years has focused on glutamatergic
synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. During this period,
I developed a keen interest in understanding the protein machinery
involved in memory formation and storage under normal and pathologic
conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. More recently,
I have combined my electrophysiological expertise with molecular/cell
biology approaches to better understand complex mechanisms underlying
synapse function and memory process. These multi-faced technical
approaches are bringing very powerful features to my current
investigations. I have shown that presenilin plays important
roles in regulating glutamatergic synaptic transmission and synapse
formation (J Neurosci. 25: 1540, 2005). I have also found that
receptor-mediated signaling is attenuated by presenilin function
in a manner that modulates synaptic function. My recent findings
have demonstrated several possible molecular targets for presenilin
on memory process. The link between synaptic plasticity and memory
has provided the primary motivation for my studies, and will
continue to be the focus of my future efforts.
