“…GSH is a potent antioxidant that has been shown to attenuate A␤-induced oxidative damage [109,110]. Preliminary in vitro evidence also suggests that GSH may be directly involved in attenuating AD pathogenesis [111][112][113]. Finally, in vitro studies have provided preliminary evidence that A␤ may directly disrupt GSH cycle homeostasis and lead to GSH depletion [44][45][46][47][48].…”

“…In vitro studies that examined the effect of GSH on aggregation and fibrillation of amyloidogenic proteins have demonstrated that GSH significantly attenuates fibril formation [111,112]. An in vitro biochemical study directly assessed whether GSH levels modulate A␤-mediated cytotoxicity by exogenous addition of A␤ peptides to human neuroblastoma cells [113].…”

With millions of older individuals presently suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) worldwide, AD is an unduly common form of dementia that exacts a heavy toll on affected individuals and their families. One of the emerging causative factors associated with AD pathology is oxidative stress. This AD-related increase in oxidative stress has been attributed to decreased levels of the brain antioxidant, glutathione (GSH). In this article, we review the role of GSH in AD from a pathological as well as a diagnostic point of view. We recapitulate the literature that has assessed the role of GSH in AD onset and progression. We discuss the various methodologies through which alterations in GSH levels might be monitored, and highlight the yet uncharted potential of assaying GSH levels in vivo with magnetic resonance spectroscopy in AD therapeutics and prognostics. Finally, the present manuscript integrates findings from various studies to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms through which disruptions in GSH homeostasis may contribute to AD pathology.

Abstract:It is well known that amyloid fibrils are associated with a lot of neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, inhibition of protein aggregation and disruption of the formed amyloid fibrils have been attractive therapeutic strategies for amyloid-associated diseases. Here, we take the widely studied protein, β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), as a model protein to study the inhibition of amyloid fibrils. Using multiple biophysical and biochemical approaches, we successfully identify that folic acid can strongly inhibit amyloid fibrils formation of β-LG in 5 M urea solution. In the presence of folic acid, both the nucleation step and elongation step of β-LG fibrillation can be affected and the suppression efficiency followed a dose depended manner. Furthermore, the studies of protein intrinsic-fluorescence and anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence demonstrated that the folic acid decreased the hydrophobicity of the urea-denatured β-LG and changed the conformation of β-LG. Our study provides a convenient way to inhibit the amyloid fibrils formation, which has potential help to study the mechanism of amyloid-diseases.
