Abstract

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), loss of synapses exceeds neuronal loss and some evidence suggests a role of beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) in synaptic degeneration through a mechanism which may involve intraneuronal Ca2+ dyshomeostasis. Emerging evidence points to the participation of the internal Ca2+ stores in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration in AD. To test the involvement of intrasynaptic Ca2+ mobilization in A toxicity, we explored the role of ryanodine receptor activation in rat cortical synaptosomes taken as a model system for the central presynapses. Evaluation of synaptosomal mitochondrial redox capacity was assessed by the MTT reduction technique, and ultrastructural changes of synaptosomes after exposure to Abeta and ryanodine were evaluated by electron microscopy. Our results show that Abeta potentiates mitochondrial dysfunction in the presence of ryanodine and induces morphological changes consisting of mitochondrial swelling and intense small synaptic vesicles depletion. These changes were accompanied by a reduction in the content of synaptophysin and actin proteins. The reduction of actin immunoreactivity was reversed in the presence of a wide range caspase inhibitors, suggesting the activation of synaptic apop...Continue Reading

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.
