Tranilast binds to aβ monomers and promotes aβ fibrillation.
The antiallergy and potential anticancer drug tranilast has been patented for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD), in which amyloid β-protein (Aβ) plays a key pathogenic role. We used solution NMR to determine that tranilast binds to Aβ40 monomers with ∼300 μM affinity. Remarkably, tranilast increases Aβ40 fibrillation more than 20-fold in the thioflavin T assay at a 1:1 molar ratio, as well as s...
متن کاملQuantification of molecular interactions between ApoE, amyloid-beta (Aβ) and laminin: Relevance to accumulation of Aβ in Alzheimer's disease.
Accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in plaques in the brain and in artery walls as cerebral amyloid angiopathy indicates a failure of elimination of Aβ from the brain with age and Alzheimer's disease. A major pathway for elimination of Aβ and other soluble metabolites from the brain is along basement membranes within the walls of cerebral arteries that represent the lymphatic drainage pathways for t...
متن کاملAPP/PS1 mice overexpressing SREBP-2 exhibit combined Aβ accumulation and tau pathology underlying Alzheimer's disease.
Current evidence indicates that excess brain cholesterol regulates amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, which in turn can regulate cholesterol homeostasis. Moreover, Aβ neurotoxicity is potentiated, in part, by mitochondrial glutathione (mGSH) depletion. To better understand the relationship between alterations in cholesterol homeostasis and Alzheimer's disease (AD), we generated a triple transgenic mice...
متن کاملAn effector-reduced anti-β-amyloid (Aβ) antibody with unique aβ binding properties promotes neuroprotection and glial engulfment of Aβ.
Passive immunization against β-amyloid (Aβ) has become an increasingly desirable strategy as a therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, traditional passive immunization approaches carry the risk of Fcγ receptor-mediated overactivation of microglial cells, which may contribute to an inappropriate proinflammatory response leading to vasogenic edema and cerebral microhemorrhage...
متن کاملNew route to Aβ
ER for tiny calcium domains iny microdomains of mitosis-driving calcium signals are created by the ER, as shown by Parry et al. on page 47. Although these calcium spikes were suspected to exist—based on findings that blocking calcium signals prevents mitosis in sea urchins—they have often eluded visualization. Parry et al. were able to detect the calcium spikes by using fly embryos, in which th...
