Additional research with transgenic worms showed that GS-Rd aided in the movement of DAF-16 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Taken together, the results indicate that GS-Rd significantly reduces Aβ aggregation by targeting the MAPK signal pathway, induces nuclear translocation of DAF-16 to activate downstream signaling pathways and increases resistance to oxidative stress in C. elegans to protect against Aβ-induced toxicity.

Review, Journal: Role of monomeric amyloid-β in cognitive performance in Alzheimer's disease:insights from clinical trials with secretase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2023 We found that β-secretase and γ-secretase inhibitors produce detrimental cognitive effects by significantly reducing CSF Aβ levels. We speculate that monoclonal antibodies targeting Aβ protofibrils, fibrils or plaques may improve cognitive performance in early AD by increasing soluble Aβ levels through Aβ aggregate disassembly and/or stabilization of existing Aβ monomers.These findings suggest that the real culprit in AD may be decreased levels of soluble monomeric Aβ due to sequestration into brain Aβ aggregates and plaques.

In addition, PIMPC may play an anti-apoptotic effect by down-regulating the high expression of cleaved Caspase-3 protein, and it can modulate ATPase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) levels, oxidative stress and neurotransmitter disturbance. In summary, PIMPC acts on multiple targets to relieve the learning and memory impairment of AD rats induced by Aβ/Cu.

Finally, using transgenic C. elegans worms that express the human muscle-specific Aβ, ANP can also effectively delay Aβ-induced worm paralysis, decrease Aβ plaques in worm brains, and reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, confirming its in vivo inhibition ability to prevent neurodevelopmental toxicity in worms. This work discovers not only a new cross-seeding system between the two disease-related proteins but also a new finding that ANP possesses a new biological function as an Aβ inhibitor in the nonaggregated state.
- |||||||||| Journal: A Kinetic Map of the Influence of Biomimetic Lipid Model Membranes on Aβ Aggregation. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 28, 2022
By using large unilamellar vesicles to model cellular membranes at different locations, including the inner and outer leaflets of the plasma membrane, late endosomes, the ER, and the Golgi apparatus, we show that Aβ aggregation is inhibited by the ER and Golgi model membranes. These results provide a preliminary map of the possible effects of the membrane composition in different cellular locations on Aβ aggregation and suggest the presence of an evolutionary optimization of the lipid composition to prevent the intracellular aggregation of Aβ.

The low levels and heterogeneity of Aβ oligomers have made the determination of their structures difficult, but recent structure determinations of oligomers either formed or initiated in detergents have been achieved. We report here on the structures of these oligomers and suggest how they may be involved in AD.

These data reinforce the role of amyloid in AD and other disorders but suggest that downstream pathology induced by amyloid is incredibly complex and that important pathophysiologic changes may be mediated by other co-accumulating proteins. Indeed, perhaps rather than direct toxicity is it is the scaffolding function of amyloid which results in sequestration of numerous signaling molecules that truly drives the pathophysiologic cellular responses that lead to organ failure.

The extensive overlap of soluble Aβ levels in controls with AD contrasts with the PET findings on fibrillar Aβ. These findings further support fibrillar Aβ as a biomarker for AD treatments and show the need for more detailed postmortem analysis of diverse soluble and insoluble Aβ aggregates in relation to PET.
