A Diarylheptanoid Exhibits Protective effects against Amyloid-β Induced Cytotoxicity
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal death, progressive cognitive impairment and memory loss. β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) are major compositions of so-called senile plaques, which are hallmarks of AD and contribute to AD progression. Therefore, it is important to discover therapeutics against Aβ-in...
متن کاملScreening seven Iranian medicinal plants for protective effects against β-Amyloid-induced cytotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons
Background and objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. According to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of Aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. Thus, modulation of Aβ toxicity is the hopef...
متن کاملMechanism underlying the effects of doxepin on β-amyloid -induced memory impairment in rats
Objective(s): In previous studies, researchers observed that doxepin could improve cognitive processes and has protective effectson the central nervous system. Thus, this study was designed to analyze the effects of doxepin on β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced memory impairment and neuronal toxicity in ratand to explore the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated with Aβ1-42 and dox...
متن کاملProtection against β-amyloid-induced synaptic and memory impairments via altering β-amyloid assembly by bis(heptyl)-cognitin
β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers have been closely implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We found, for the first time, that bis(heptyl)-cognitin, a novel dimeric acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor derived from tacrine, prevented Aβ oligomers-induced inhibition of long-term potentiation (LTP) at concentrations that did not interfere with normal LTP. Bis(heptyl)-cognitin also pre...
متن کاملA molecular mechanism of pyruvate protection against cytotoxicity of reactive oxygen species in osteoblasts.
We demonstrated previously that exogenous pyruvate has a protective action against cell death by hydrogen peroxide in cultured osteoblasts through a mechanism associated with its antioxidative property. In the present study, we have evaluated possible participation of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) responsible for the bidirectional membrane transport of pyruvate in the cytoprotective prope...
