چکیده
BACKGROUND The incidence of Alzheimer disease may increase after surgical interventions. Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) fibrillogenesis, which is closely related to Alzheimer disease, is reportedly accelerated by exposure to anesthetics. However, the effects of GM1 ganglioside (GM1) on Αβ fibrillogenesis have not yet been reported. The current study was designed to examine whether the anesthetics propofol and thiopental are associated with Αβ assembly and GM1 expression on the neuronal cell surface. METHODS PC12N cells and cultured neuronal cells were treated with propofol or thiopental, and GM1 expression in treated and untreated cells was determined by the specific binding of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated cholera toxin subunit B (n = 5). The effects of an inhibitor of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor was also examined (n= 5). In addition, the effects of the anesthetics on GM1 liposome-induced Αβ assembly were investigated (n = 5). Finally, the neurotoxicity of the assembled Αβ fibrils was studied by the lactate dehydrogenase release assay (n = 6). RESULTS Propofol (31.2 ± 4.7%) and thiopental (34.6 ± 10.5%) decreased GM1 expression on the cell surface through the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor. The anesthetics inhibited Αβ fibril formation from soluble Αβ in cultured neurons. Moreover, propofol and thiopental suppressed GM1-induced fibril formation in a cell-free system (propofol, 75.8 ± 1.9%; thiopental, 83.6 ± 1.9%) and reduced the neurotoxicity of a mixture containing Aβ and GM1 liposomes (propofol, 35.3 ± 16.4%; thiopental, 21.3 ± 11.6%). CONCLUSIONS Propofol and thiopental have direct and indirect inhibitory effects on Αβ fibrillogenesis.

Objective(s): Propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) is an intravenous anesthetic that is commonly used for the general anesthesia. It is well known that the spinal cord is one of the working targets of general anesthesia including propofol. However, there is a lack of investigation of the effects of propofol on spinal dorsal horn which is important for the sensory transmission of nociceptive signal...
متن کاملBrain Gangliosides in Alzheimer's Disease: Increased Expression of Cholinergic Neuron-Specific Gangliosides.
BACKGROUND Gangliosides are enriched in the neuronal membranes. Gangliosides are shown to interact with amyloid-β proteins, leading to formation of amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Several earlier studies indicated that the alterations of ganglioside metabolism could contribute the pathogenesis of AD. METHODS Gangliosides were isolated from the frontal lobes in five patient...

Background: There is evidence that CD36 promotes foam cell formation through internalizing oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) into macrophages therefore, it plays a key role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In addition, CD36 expression seems to be mediated by nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of ...

There is increasing evidence that a class of cell membrane glycolipids, gangliosides, can mediate the fibrillogenesis and toxicity of Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta). Using lipid monolayers and vesicles as model membranes, we measured the insertion of Abeta into 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)-ganglioside GM1 monolayers to probe Abeta-GM1 interactions, imaged...
