Transition metal‐mediated glycoxidation accelerates cross‐linking of β‐amyloid peptide

Abstract: b-Amyloid deposits, hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, contain both sugar-derived`advanced glycation end products' (AGEs) and copper and iron ions. Our in vitro experiments using synthetic b-amyloid peptide and glucose or fructose show that formation of covalently cross-linked high-molecular-mass b-amyloid peptide oligomers is accelerated by micromolar amounts of copper (Cu 1 , Cu 21 ) and iron (Fe 21 , Fe 31 ) ions. Formation of these covalent AGE cross-links can be inhibited by capping agents of amino groups,… Show more

“…by glycation or oxidation) β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, are present in specific brain regions of AD patients (Loske et al 2000;Thal et al 2002). Aβ has been proposed to have a variety of toxic properties such as the ability to block communication between neurons, to cause degeneration of neurites, to contribute to oxidative stress and ultimately to lead to neuronal cell death ).…”

“…Although aldose and ketose sugars were originally thought to be the sole precursors of AGE, current research indicate that RCS generated from carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolisms such as MGO, GO, GLA, dehydroascorbate, 3-deoxyglucosone and malondialdehyde, are even more reactive and are potent precursors of AGE formation and protein cross-linking [6,7,8,9,10,54,55,56]. Known AGE inhibitors with renoprotective effects such AG, PM, and OPB-9195 are thought to prevent AGE accumulation by interacting with these highly reactive RCS and acting as carbonyl traps, thereby limiting oxidative damage to tissues.…”

“…Autooxidation of glucose and oxidation of glycated residues are potent sources of free radicals that are enhanced in hyperglycaemia and might be the primary culprits in tissue damage. These reactions are catalysed by low concentrations of transition metals, particularly iron and copper, which are normally in a bound state but whose homeostasis could be compromised by diabetes and Alzheimer's disease [8,9,10].…”
