Tetracycline prevents Aβ oligomer toxicity through an atypical supramolecular interaction.
The antibiotic tetracycline was reported to possess an anti-amyloidogenic activity on a variety of amyloidogenic proteins both in in vitro and in vivo models. To unveil the mechanism of action of tetracycline on Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 at both molecular and supramolecular levels, we carried out a series of experiments using NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, dynamic laser light-scattering (DLS) and...
متن کاملReversibility of Aβ oligomer neurotoxicity
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common neurodegenerative dementia disorder, chiefly suffer from impairment of memory and other cognitive functions. AD is neuropathologically characterized by senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are composed of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau proteins, respectively. Recently, a new concept has emerged: that soluble oli...
متن کاملExpression of A2V-mutated Aβ in Caenorhabditis elegans results in oligomer formation and toxicity☆
Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is usually sporadic, in a small proportion of cases it is familial and can be linked to mutations in β-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Unlike the other genetic defects, the mutation [alanine-673→valine-673] (A673V) causes the disease only in the homozygous condition with enhanced amyloid β (Aβ) production and aggregation; heterozygous carriers remain unaffecte...
متن کاملSoluble Aβ oligomer-induced synaptopathy: c-Jun N-terminal kinase's role.
Dear Editor, Among the neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common and severe age-related dementia for which there is currently no available treatment. Many studies support the assumption that AD is a spine pathology (Selkoe, 2002; Sivanesan et al., 2013) and that soluble amyloid-b (Ab) oligomers are causative of AD synaptopathy. Diverse lines of evidence indicate that...
متن کاملOligomer-targeting with a conformational antibody fragment promotes toxicity in Aβ-expressing flies
INTRODUCTION The self-assembly of Aβ peptides into a range of conformationally heterogeneous amyloid states represents a fundamental event in Alzheimer's disease. Within these structures oligomeric intermediates are considered to be particularly pathogenic. To test this hypothesis we have used a conformational targeting approach where particular conformational states, such as oligomers or fibri...
