Background | In the brain, amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is generated by protease cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP), aggregating into oligomers, protofibrils, fibrils, and ultimately plaques in neurodegenerative diseases. The accumulation of Aβ plaques in the brain is considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Soluble Aβ oligomers isolated from the brains of AD patients or those generated in vitro potently impaired synapse structure and function. Aβ oligomers generated in vitro were toxic to PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells. Aβ was demonstrated to interact with tauopathies to affect neurodegeneration in AD patients and accumulations of Aβ were shown to be associated with lower survival rates in Parkinson’s disease patients with dementia. |
