Common mechanisms of amyloid oligomer pathogenesis in degenerative disease
Abstract
Many age-related degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's diseases and type II diabetes, are associated with the accumulation of amyloid fibrils. The protein components of these amyloids vary widely and the mechanisms of pathogenesis remain an important subject of competing hypotheses and debate. Many different mechanisms have been postulated as significant causal events in pathogenesis, so understanding which events are primary and their causal relationships is critical for the development of more effective therapeutic agents that target the underlying disease mechanisms. Recent evidence indicates that amyloids share common structural properties that are largely determined by their generic polymer properties and that soluble amyloid oligomers may represent the primary pathogenic structure, rather than the mature amyloid fibrils. Since protein function is determined by the three-dimensional structure, the fact that amyloids share generic structures implies that they may also share a common pathological function. Amyloid oligomers from several different proteins share the ability to permeabilize cellular membranes and lipid bilayers, indicating that this may represent the primary toxic mechanism of amyloid pathogenesis. This suggests that membrane permeabilization may initiate a core sequence of common pathological events leading to cell dysfunction and death that is shared among degenerative diseases, whereas pathological events that are unique to one particular type of amyloid or disease may lie in up stream pathways leading to protein mis-folding. Although, these upstream events may be unique to a particular disease related protein, their effects can be rationalized as having a primary effect of increasing the amount of mis-folded, potentially amyloidogenic proteins.

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.
