Aβ-mediated ROS production by Cu ions: Structural insights, mechanisms and relevance to Alzheimer's disease

Hureau, Christelle, Faller, Peter·2009·Biochimie

Abstract

Metal ions are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) via their ability to induce aggregation of amyloidogenic peptide and production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), two key events in the development of the pathology. Here, we review very recent results concerning the coordination of Cu(I) and Cu(II) ion to the amyloid-beta peptide, the one encountered in AD. Implications of these structural data for the redox chemistry of the Cu(I/II)-Abeta couple are discussed. The different pathways for the ROS generation by the Cu(I/II)-Abeta species are described. In the more relevant one, reduction of dioxygen is realized by a two-electron process involving two Cu(I) in close vicinity, while the production of the hydroxyl radical from hydrogen peroxide is less constrained. A brief summary of how the Abeta peptide is oxidised during the ROS production is also given. Lastly, the pro- vs. anti-oxidant properties of Abeta are commented on.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
