Amyloid-β and Astrocytes Interplay in Amyloid-β Related Disorders
Amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology is known to promote chronic inflammatory responses in the brain. It was thought previously that Aβ is only associated with Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. However, studies have shown its involvement in many other neurological disorders. The role of astrocytes in handling the excess levels of Aβ has been highlighted in the literature. Astrocytes have a distinctive...
متن کاملImmune activation in amyloid-β-related angiitis correlates with decreased parenchymal amyloid-β plaque load.
BACKGROUND Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare but serious condition. A fraction of patients suffering from PACNS concurrently exhibit pronounced cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) which is characterized by deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) in and around the walls of small and medium-sized arteries of the brain. PACNS with CAA has been identified as a distinct disease entit...
متن کامل5-Hydroxycyclopenicillone Inhibits β-Amyloid Oligomerization and Produces Anti-β-Amyloid Neuroprotective Effects In Vitro.
The oligomer of β-amyloid (Aβ) is considered the main neurotoxin in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, the inhibition of the formation of Aβ oligomer could be a target for AD therapy. In this study, with the help of the dot blotting assay and transmission electronic microscopy, it was have discovered that 5-hydroxycyclopenicillone, a cyclopentenone recently isolated from a sponge-associated f...
متن کاملAmyloid-β breaks brain's neuroprotection
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia in elderly population. Neuropathological features of AD are the extracellular plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Plaques are composed of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and NFTs contain hyperphosphorylated tau protein [1]. Genetic and biochemical studies suggest that extracellular Aβ deposition triggers pathological events le...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic Acid Reduces Amyloid-β
The effect of supplementation with the omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on membrane composition and amyloid-β1−42 (Aβ42) secretion was studied in human amyloid-β protein precursor-transfected Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Twenty-four hour incubation with a range of DHA concentrations resulted in a dosedependent increase in membrane DHA and eicosapent...
