Abstract

Abnormal extracellular deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Preventing Aβ-induced neurotoxicity has become a potential therapeutic approach to improve the onset and progression of AD. Here we report the synthesis of 1,1'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)-bis(3-(dimethylamino)-propan-1-one) (BDBDP) and evaluate whether it protects PC12 cells from Aβ1-42-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Treating cells with Aβ1-42 significantly reduced cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential while also significantly increasing apoptosis and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pretreating the cells with BDBDP significantly ameloriated these Aβ1-42-induced effects. Futhermore, BDBDP strongly reduced pro-apoptotic signaling in response to ROS by reducing levels of activated caspase-3 and increasing the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax. These findings provide evidence that BDBDP protects against Aβ1-42-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells by inhibiting oxidative stress and cell apoptosis.

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease: Amyloid Beta

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain; these plaques are comprised of amyloid beta deposits. Here is the latest research in this field.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
