α2-Macroglobulin Attenuates β-Amyloid Peptide 1–40 Fibril Formation and Associated Neurotoxicity of Cultured Fetal Rat Cortical Neurons

TL;DR: It is reported that, in contrast to another plaque‐associated protein, α1‐antichymotrypsin, α2M coincubated with Aβ significantly reduces aggregation and fibril formation in vitro, and cultured fetal rat cortical neurons are less vulnerable to the toxic actions of aged Aβ following pretreatment withα2M.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase-3-like proteases and 6-hydroxydopamine induced neuronal cell death.

TL;DR: 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis of CGN involves activation of a caspase-3-like protease, in contrast to the neurotoxicity induced by MPP+, however, the peptide inhibitors zVAD-FMK and Ac-DEVD-CHO can only attenuate early neuronal death induced by 6-OHda.
