Membrane-mediated amyloidogenesis and the promotion of oxidative lipid damage by amyloid beta proteins.
Evidence of oxidative stress and the accumulation of fibrillar amyloid beta proteins (Abeta) in senile plaques throughout the cerebral cortex are consistent features in the pathology of Alzheimer disease. To define a mechanistic link between these two processes, various aspects of the relationship between oxidative lipid membrane damage and amyloidogenesis were characterized by chemical and phy...
متن کاملOxidative membrane damage and its involvement in gamma radiation-induced apoptotic cell death.
Background: Recent results have provided increasing evidence to support involvement of membrane damage in the mechanism of ionizing radiation induced killing of mammalian cells. These findings have stimulated renewed interest in evaluating the damage to membrane as a primary initiator in radiation-induced cell killing especially in apoptotic death. The present study was aimed to gain deeper ins...
متن کاملMembrane dynamics, cholesterol homeostasis, and Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of beta-amyloid (A beta) plaques derived from the amyloidogenic processing; of a transmembrane protein called beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). In addition to the known genetic/sporadic factors that promote the formation of A beta, the composition and structural dynamics of the membrane are also thought to play a significant role i...
متن کاملFormation of Toxic Amyloid Fibrils by Amyloid β-Protein on Ganglioside Clusters
It is widely accepted that the conversion of the soluble, nontoxic amyloid β-protein (Aβ) monomer to aggregated toxic Aβ rich in β-sheet structures is central to the development of Alzheimer's disease. However, the mechanism of the abnormal aggregation of Aβ in vivo is not well understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that lipid rafts (microdomains) in membranes mainly composed of sphingolipi...
متن کاملThe Protective Effect of Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Nanoparticles in Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Damage
Background& objectives: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) damage occurs during renal transplantation in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients which activate immune responses. Inflammatory responses by increased levels of cytokines can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) that contributes to the loss of renal grafts and graft dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to review the therapeutic effe...
