摘要:

淀粉样β蛋白(Aβ)在阿尔茨海默病的发病机制中起着重要作用。 Humanin(HN)是新近发现的可能对阿尔茨海默病具有治疗作用的蛋白质,其衍生物HNG(S14G-突变体)对阿尔茨海默病的神经保护活性比HN强1000倍。然而,HNG抗阿尔茨海默病功能的详细分子机制仍不清楚。我们使用荧光技术检测Aβ40和humanins对海马细胞的细胞膜流动性,细胞的钙稳态,线粒体膜电位和活性氧的影响。结果纤维状Aβ40降低膜流动性,增加细胞钙水平,产生活性氧和降低线粒体膜电位,通过细胞膜扰乱了细胞的静态平衡。HNG可恢复被纤维状Aβ40扰乱的这些变化,但被纤维状Aβ40降低的线粒体膜电位恢复较少。结果表明纤维状Aβ40是通过细胞膜作用于线粒体,即升高细胞内钙和活性氧的水平;而HNG阻断淀粉样β蛋白对膜的作用,而重建受干扰的细胞静态平衡。

Abstract:

Humanin is a potential therapeutic agent for Alzheimer’s disease, and its derivative, S14G-humanin, is 1 000-fold stronger in its neuroprotective effect against Alzheimer’s disease-relevant insults. Alt-hough effective, the detailed molecular mechanism through which S14G-humanin exerts its effects remains unclear. Data from this study showed that fibrillar amyloid-beta 40 disturbed cellular ho-meostasis through the cell membrane, increasing intracellular calcium, generating reactive oxygen species, and decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential. S14G-humanin restored these re-sponses. The results suggested that S14G-humanin blocked the effects of amyloid-beta 40 on the neuronal cell membrane, and restored the disturbed cellular homeostasis, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect on hippocampal neurons.
