Temperature dependence of amyloid beta-protein fibrillization.
Fibrillogenesis of the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies of the kinetics of Abeta fibrillogenesis showed that the rate of fibril elongation is proportional to the concentration of monomers. We report here the study of the temperature dependence of the Abeta fibril elongation rate constant, ke, in 0.1 M HC...
متن کاملCellular prion protein mediates toxic signaling of amyloid beta.
Prion diseases in humans and animals comprise a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the formation of a pathogenic protein conformer designated PrP(Sc) and infectious particles denoted prions. The cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) has a central role in the pathogenesis of prion disease. First, it is the precursor of PrP(Sc) and infectious prions and second, its ex...
متن کاملReview: prion protein and amyloid beta interactions
In 2009 it was discovered that prion protein (PrP) binds amyloid beta oligomers (Aβo), potentially acting as a receptor on the surface of neurons. PrP was additionally suggested to mediate at least some of the toxic effects of Aβo in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a proposition which has proven enormously controversial. In the past three years, several studies have produced apparently strong evidenc...
متن کاملNicotinic receptor-mediated protection against beta-amyloid neurotoxicity.
Multiple lines of evidence, from molecular and cellular to epidemiologic, have implicated nicotinic transmission in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. In this review we present evidence for nicotinic receptor-mediated protection against beta-amyloid and glutamate neurotoxicity, and the signal transduction involved in this mechanism. The data are based mainly on our studies using rat-cultured...
متن کاملIncreased tauopathy drives microglia-mediated clearance of beta-amyloid
Alzheimer disease is characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and tau-laden neurofibrillary tangles. Emerging studies suggest that in neurodegenerative diseases, aggregation of one protein species can promote other proteinopathies and that inflammation plays an important role in this process. To study the interplay between Aβ deposition, tau pathology, and microgliosis, we es...
