CSF beta-amyloid 1–42 – what are we measuring in Alzheimer's disease?
OBJECTIVE To characterize biological and technical factors which influence cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker levels, including the presence of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele, AD diagnosis, Aβ-binding proteins, sample processing, and preanalytical handling. METHODS CSF was collected from 140 subjects with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, AD, and non-AD...
متن کاملThe novel amyloid-beta peptide aptamer inhibits intracellular amyloid-beta peptide toxicity☆
Amyloid β peptide binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) decoy peptide (DP) can competitively antagonize binding of amyloid β peptide to ABAD and inhibit the cytotoxic effects of amyloid β peptide. Based on peptide aptamers, the present study inserted ABAD-DP into the disulfide bond of human thioredoxin (TRX) using molecular cloning technique to construct a fusion gene that can express the TRX1-A...
متن کاملAlzheimers Disease: A Novel Hypothesis for the Development and the Subsequent Role of Beta Amyloid
Spirochetes, biofilms, and innate immune system activity have all been recently found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The mechanism and actions of those factors in producing the disease were discussed in those studies. However, neither the production nor the role of beta amyloid was included in the discussion of those studies. In this commentary, we hypothesize how the developmen...
متن کاملAstrocytic redox remodeling by amyloid beta peptide.
Astrocytes are critical for neuronal redox homeostasis providing them with cysteine needed for glutathione synthesis. In this study, we demonstrate that the astrocytic redox response signature provoked by amyloid beta (Aβ) is distinct from that of a general oxidant (tertiary-butylhydroperoxide [t-BuOOH]). Acute Aβ treatment increased cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) levels and enhanced transsulfu...
متن کاملInhibition of the electrostatic interaction between beta-amyloid peptide and membranes prevents beta-amyloid-induced toxicity.
The accumulation of beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta) into senile plaques is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer disease. Aggregated Abeta is toxic to cells in culture and this has been considered to be the cause of neurodegeneration that occurs in the Alzheimer disease brain. The discovery of compounds that prevent Abeta toxicity may lead to a better understanding of the processes involved and ultim...
