Minocycline blocks c-terminal fragments of amyloid precursor protein-induced neurotoxicity by inhibition of cytochrome c release and caspase-12 activation
Minocycline is a second-generation tetracycline that effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier. It has remarkable neuroprotective qualities in models of cerebral ischaemia, traumatic brain injury, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, there is no evidence about neuroprotective effects of minocycline on AD. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized neurop...

متن کاملInhibition of Amyloid Fibrils Formation from Hen Egg White Lysozyme by Satureia Hortensis Extract and its Effect on Learning and Spatial Memory of Rats
Background & Aims: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. Although several studies have been done for finding effective medicines in the treatment of this disease, a drug that inhibits amyloid β aggregation and ameliorates the disorder has not been approved so far. One important therapeutic approach is use...
متن کاملP135: The Role of Amyloid Beta-Peptides and Tau Protein in Alzheimer\'s Disease
Alzheimer's desease is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder, and cognitive problems such as defects in learning and memory are of its symptoms. Among the factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease are biochemical disorders in protein production, oxidative stress, decreased acetylcholine secretion and inflammation of the brain tissue. Extra-neuronal accumulation ...
متن کاملAluminum-Induced Conformational Changes of - Amyloid Protein and the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease
Aggregation and subsequent conformational change of Alzheimer’s β-amyloid protein (AβP) enhance its neurotoxicity. Therefore, factors that inhibit or promote conformational changes of AβP play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Moreover, recent studies have suggested that a common mechanism is based on the diverse diseases termed “conformational diseases” including n...
