Oxidative stress precedes fibrillar deposition of Alzheimer's disease amyloid β-peptide (1–42) in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by senile plaques and neurofibrillary components. Abeta(1-42) is a principal component of senile plaques and is thought to be central to the pathogenesis of the disease. The Alzheimer's disease brain is under significant oxidative stress, and the Abeta(1-42) peptide is known to cause oxidative stress in vitro. One controversy in the amyloid hypothesis is whether or not Abeta plaques are required for toxicity. We have employed a temperature-inducible Abeta expression system in Caenorhabditis elegans to create a strain of worms, CL4176, in which Abeta(1-42) is expressed with a non-permissive temperature of 23 degrees C. The CL4176 strain allows examination of the temporal relationship between Abeta expression, oxidative stress, and Abeta fibril formation. CL4176 were under increased oxidative stress, evidenced by increased protein oxidation indexed by increased carbonyl levels, 24 and 32 h after temperature upshift as compared to the control strain, CL1175. The increased oxidative stress in CL4176 occurred in the absence of Abeta fibril formation, consistent with the notion that the toxic species in Abeta toxicity is pre-fibrillar Abeta and not the Abeta fibril. These results are discussed with reference to Alzheimer's disease.

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.
