Amyloidogenicity and toxicity of the reverse and scrambled variants of amyloid‐β 1‐42
β-amyloid 1-42 (Aβ1-42) is a self-assembling peptide that goes through many conformational and morphological changes before forming the fibrils that are deposited in extracellular plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. The link between Aβ1-42 structure and toxicity is of major interest, in particular, the neurotoxic potential of oligomeric species. Many studies utilise reversed (Aβ42-1)...
متن کاملLight-controlled toxicity of engineered amyloid β-peptides.
Aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ(1-42)), causing toxicity, is a critical step in Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD studies are difficult to compare because Aβ(1-42) aggregation is poorly controllable under physiological conditions. To control aggregation and toxicity, we engineered light-switchable Aβ(1-42) analogues that enable controllable conversion of nontoxic fibrils into toxic oligomers simply by ...
متن کاملAmyloid β-42 induces neuronal apoptosis by targeting mitochondria
Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a typical pathological hallmark of amyloid‑beta (Aβ)‑containing plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, is one of the most common types of chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Aβ oligomers serve a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD, and lead to neuronal loss. However, the precise mechanism of Aβ oligomers in AD remains to be elucidated. The present study demonstra...
متن کاملAmyloid-β 1–24 C-terminal truncated fragment promotes amyloid-β 1–42 aggregate formation in the healthy brain
Substantial data indicate that amyloid-β (Aβ), the major component of senile plaques, plays a central role in Alzheimer's Disease and indeed the assembly of naturally occurring amyloid peptides into cytotoxic aggregates is linked to the disease pathogenesis. Although Aβ42 is a highly aggregating form of Aβ, the co-occurrence of shorter Aβ peptides might affect the aggregation potential of the A...
متن کاملToxicity of amyloid beta 1-40 and 1-42 on SH-SY5Y cell line
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, 22–25 nucleotide long transcripts that may suppress entire signaling pathways by interacting with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of coding mRNA targets, interrupting translation and inducing degradation of these targets. The long 3’-UTRs of brain transcripts compared to other tissues predict important roles for brain miRNAs. Supporting this notion, we found th...
