Aβ-Induced Proinflammatory Cytokine Release from Differentiated Human THP-1 Monocytes

Abstract: As noted in the introductory chapters of this book, neuritic plaques composed of accumulated amyloid β (Aβ) peptide are a hallmark pathological feature of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Compelling genetic data now implicate these plaques as key causative agents in AD onset, as all known mutations that lead to early onset familial AD (1-6) result in an increased production of the amyloidogenic Aβ1-42 isoform (7-11). Although it appears likely that the deposition of multimeric Aβ fibrils into plaques is a n… Show more

“…THP‐1 cells . The THP‐1 human monocyte cell line (ATCC, Rockville, MD, U.S.A.; Tsuchiya et al, 1980) was grown in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum as previously described (Brunden et al., 1999; Yates et al, 1999). The fetal bovine serum content was lowered to 2% before the cells were seeded at a density of 1.5 × 10 4 cells/well into 96‐well plates.…”

“…IL‐1β was measured as previously described (Brunden et al, 1999; Yates et al, 1999). In brief, the wells of Costar medium binding 96‐well plates were coated overnight at 4°C with 1.5 μg of a monoclonal antibody to human IL‐1β in 100 μl of phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS; R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.).…”

“…However, once they assemble and aggregate to form its multimers, they become more insoluble and neuritic plaques [22]. Amyloid-beta aggregation stimulates excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in monocytes and microglia [23,24,25]. Excessive levels of systemic and neuronal inflammation aggravate the progression of AD [22,26].…”
