Extracellular deposition of beta-amyloid upon p53-dependent neuronal cell death in transgenic mice.
The finding that intracellular expression of the beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) under a neuron-specific promoter led progressively to degeneration and death of neurons in the brains of transgenic mice provides a unique opportunity to utilize this animal model to both understand the mechanism that underlies neuronal cell death and define the complexity of events which may ensue. We observed a corr...

متن کاملInhibition of the electrostatic interaction between beta-amyloid peptide and membranes prevents beta-amyloid-induced toxicity.
The accumulation of beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta) into senile plaques is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer disease. Aggregated Abeta is toxic to cells in culture and this has been considered to be the cause of neurodegeneration that occurs in the Alzheimer disease brain. The discovery of compounds that prevent Abeta toxicity may lead to a better understanding of the processes involved and ultim...
متن کاملThe novel amyloid-beta peptide aptamer inhibits intracellular amyloid-beta peptide toxicity☆
Amyloid β peptide binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) decoy peptide (DP) can competitively antagonize binding of amyloid β peptide to ABAD and inhibit the cytotoxic effects of amyloid β peptide. Based on peptide aptamers, the present study inserted ABAD-DP into the disulfide bond of human thioredoxin (TRX) using molecular cloning technique to construct a fusion gene that can express the TRX1-A...
متن کاملAmyloid-beta-induced toxicity of primary neurons is dependent upon differentiation-associated increases in tau and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 expression.
It has previously been reported that amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide is neurotrophic to undifferentiated but neurotoxic to differentiated primary neurons. The underlying reasons for this differential effect is not understood. Recently, the toxicity of Abeta to neurons was shown to be dependent upon the activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), thought to promote tau phosphorylation that lead...
