Structural conversion of neurotoxic amyloid-[beta]1-42 oligomers to fibrils

TL;DR: It is shown that low-temperature and low-salt conditions can stabilize disc-shaped oligomers (pentamers) that are substantially more toxic to mouse cortical neurons than protofibrils and fibrils, and that these neurotoxic oligomers do not have the β-sheet structure characteristic of fibril.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early-onset and Robust Cerebral Microvascular Accumulation of Amyloid β-Protein in Transgenic Mice Expressing Low Levels of a Vasculotropic Dutch/Iowa Mutant Form of Amyloid β-Protein Precursor

TL;DR: It is shown that overexpression of human AβPP is not required for early-onset and robust accumulation of both vascular and parenchymal Aβ in mouse brain, and in vivo transport studies demonstrated that Dutch/Iowa mutant Aβ was more readily retained in the brain compared with wild-type Aβ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conformational differences between two amyloid β oligomers of similar size and dissimilar toxicity

TL;DR: The results suggest that the ability of non-fibrillar Aβ oligomers to interact with and disrupt cellular membranes is linked to the degree of solvent exposure of their central and C-terminal hydrophobic peptide segments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minocycline Reduces Microglial Activation and Improves Behavioral Deficits in a Transgenic Model of Cerebral Microvascular Amyloid

TL;DR: It is suggested that anti-inflammatory treatment targeted for cerebral microvascular amyloid-induced microglial activation can improve cognitive deficits without altering the accumulation and distribution of Aβ.
