Curcumin Protects β-Lactoglobulin Fibril Formation and Fibril-Induced Neurotoxicity in PC12Cells
In this study the β-lactoglobulin fibrillation, in the presence or absence of lead ions, aflatoxin M1 and curcumin, was evaluated using ThT fluorescence, Circular dichroism spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. To investigate the toxicity of the different form of β-Lg fibrils, in the presence or absence of above toxins and curcumin, we monitored changes in the level of reactive oxygen speci...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms initiating amyloid β-fibril formation in Alzheimer’s disease
decline characteristic of AD. Therefore, a detailed knowledge of Aβ assembly is crucial for the development of new therapeutic approaches designed to prevent fibril formation and/or to dissociate existing fibrils. Yet, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of Aβ fibrillogenesis remains very incomplete. Amyloid β-peptide is produced by specific endoproteolytic c...
متن کاملSurface-catalyzed amyloid fibril formation.
Light chain (or AL) amyloidosis is characterized by the pathological deposition of insoluble fibrils of immunoglobulin light chain fragments in various tissues, walls of blood vessels, and basement membranes. In the present investigation, the in vitro assembly of a recombinant amyloidogenic light chain variable domain, SMA, on various surfaces was monitored using atomic force microscopy. SMA fo...
متن کاملEffect of Surfaces on Amyloid Fibril Formation
Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we investigated the interaction of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide with chemically modified surfaces in order to better understand the mechanism of amyloid toxicity, which involves interaction of amyloid with cell membrane surfaces. We compared the structure and density of Aβ fibrils on positively and negatively charged as well as hydrophobic chemically-modified su...
متن کاملPathways and intermediates of amyloid fibril formation.
The lack of understanding of amyloid fibril formation at the molecular level is a major obstacle in devising strategies to interfere with the pathologies linked to peptide or protein aggregation. In particular, little is known on the role of intermediates and fibril elongation pathways as well as their dependence on the intrinsic tendency of a polypeptide chain to self-assembly by beta-sheet fo...
