ApoE and Clusterin Cooperatively Suppress Aβ Levels and Deposition Evidence that ApoE Regulates Extracellular Aβ Metabolism In Vivo
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) and clusterin can influence structure, toxicity, and accumulation of the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide in brain. Both molecules may also be involved in Abeta metabolism prior to its deposition. To assess this possibility, we compared PDAPP transgenic mice that develop age-dependent Abeta accumulation in the absence of apoE or clusterin as well as in the absence of both pr...
متن کاملAβ(39-42) modulates Aβ oligomerization but not fibril formation.
Recently, certain C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of Aβ42 have been shown to be effective inhibitors of Aβ42 toxicity. Here, we examine the interactions between the shortest CTF in the original series, Aβ(39-42), and full-length Aβ. Mass spectrometry results indicate that Aβ(39-42) binds directly to Aβ monomers and to the n = 2, 4, and 6 oligomers. The Aβ42:Aβ(39-42) complex is further probed using...
متن کاملTranilast binds to aβ monomers and promotes aβ fibrillation.
The antiallergy and potential anticancer drug tranilast has been patented for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD), in which amyloid β-protein (Aβ) plays a key pathogenic role. We used solution NMR to determine that tranilast binds to Aβ40 monomers with ∼300 μM affinity. Remarkably, tranilast increases Aβ40 fibrillation more than 20-fold in the thioflavin T assay at a 1:1 molar ratio, as well as s...
متن کاملAβ-induced Golgi fragmentation in Alzheimer's disease enhances Aβ production.
Golgi fragmentation occurs in neurons of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying molecular mechanism causing the defects and the subsequent effects on disease development remain unknown. In this study, we examined the Golgi structure in APPswe/PS1E9 transgenic mouse and tissue culture models. Our results show that accumulation of amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) leads to Golgi frag...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Study of Zn(Aβ) and Zn(Aβ)2
The aggregation of Aβ-peptide (Aβ) is widely considered to be the critical step in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Small, soluble Aβ oligomers have been shown to be more neurotoxic than large, insoluble aggregates and fibrils. Recent studies suggest that biometal ions, including Zn(II), may play an important role in the aggregation process. Experimentally determining the details of the bi...
