Statins Inhibit Fibrillary β-Amyloid Induced Inflammation in a Model of the Human Blood Brain Barrier
BACKGROUND Astrocytes and cerebral endothelial cells are important components of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Disruption to this barrier through inflammation is a major contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The amyloid beta (Aβ) protein is known to exist in several forms and is a key modulator of AD that is known to cause inflammation and changes to BBB function. While one of the...
متن کاملHuman apoE isoforms differentially regulate brain amyloid-β peptide clearance.
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset, sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). The APOE ε4 allele markedly increases AD risk and decreases age of onset, likely through its strong effect on the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. In contrast, the APOE ε2 allele appears to decrease AD risk. Most rare, early-onset forms of familial AD are caused b...
متن کاملAmyloid β -peptide Promotes Permeability Transition Pore in Brain Mitochondria
In this work the effect of the neurotoxic amino acid sequence, Aβ25–35 , on brain mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) was studied. For the purpose, the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (∆Ψm), mitochondrial respiration and the calcium fluxes were examined. It was observed that Aβ25–35, in the presence of Ca, decreased the ∆Ψm, the capacity of brain mitochondria to accumulate ca...
متن کاملA novel antagonistic role of natural compound icariin on neurotoxicity of amyloid β peptide
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) has been shown to be responsible for senile plaque formation and cell damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study was aimed to explore the role of natural compound icariin on the aggregation and the cytotoxicity of Aβ in vitro. METHODS Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging were done to determi...
متن کاملAngiotensin type 1a receptor deficiency decreases amyloid β-protein generation and ameliorates brain amyloid pathology
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by neuronal loss and cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and lowering the generation of Aβ is a pivotal approach in the strategy of Alzheimer's disease treatment. Midlife hypertension is a major risk factor for the future onset of sporadic Alzheimer's disease and the use of some antihypertensive drugs may decrease the incidence of Alzheimer's dis...
