Metal Ion Effects on Aβ and Tau Aggregation
Amyloid and tau aggregation are implicated in manifold neurodegenerative diseases and serve as two signature pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Though aging is considered as a prominent risk factor for AD pathogenesis, substantial evidence suggests that an imbalance of essential biometal ions in the body and exposure to certain metal ions in the environment can potentially indu...

متن کاملSome effects of positively charged surface groups on cell aggregation.
A study was made of the effects of 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMA), a reagent removing positive charges, on the aggregation and surface charge of embryonic chick neural retina cells. Neural retina cells, recovered from the dissociation procedure, were cultured on a gyratory shaker and the aggregate dimaeters formed in the presence of DMA or DMA-serum dialysate, following DMA-pretreatment, or...
متن کاملCell Surface Binding and Internalization of Aβ Modulated by Degree of Aggregation
The amyloid peptides, Aβ40 and Aβ42, are generated through endoproteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein. Here we have developed a model to investigate the interaction of living cells with various forms of aggregated Aβ40/42. After incubation at endosomal pH 6, we observed a variety of Aβ conformations after 3 (Aβ(3)), 24 (Aβ(24)), and 90 hours (Aβ(90)). Both Aβ42(24) and Aβ40(24) w...
متن کاملAminopyrimidine Class Aggregation Inhibitor Effectively Blocks Aβ-Fibrinogen Interaction and Aβ-Induced Contact System Activation.
Accumulating evidence suggests that fibrinogen, a key protein in the coagulation cascade, plays an important role in circulatory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous work has shown that the interaction between fibrinogen and β-amyloid (Aβ), a hallmark pathological protein in AD, induces plasmin-resistant abnormal blood clots, delays fibrinolysis, increases inflammation, and aggrava...
