Zinc Fingers as Programmable Metalloprotein Scaffolds for Altering Pathogenic Biomolecular Phase Transitions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Modular zinc finger (ZF) metalloproteins function as programmable biomolecular scaffolds that modulate pathogenic amyloid assembly. Through direct protein–protein interactions, ZF arrays alter amyloid phase behavior and redirect β‐sheet fibrillization toward nontoxic aggregates.

Metal Oxides Catalyze Formation of Dehydroamino Acids by Phosphate β‐Elimination Under Physiological Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Dehydroamino acids (DHAA) are atypical electrophilic sites that lead to crosslinked proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. No catalyst for their formation has been known in humans. We report that metal oxides catalyze β‐elimination of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine in model peptides at pH 7.5°C and 37°C, yielding DHAAs.

Lipid Metabolic Dysregulation Driven by OSMR Mutations Underlies Amyloidogenesis in Primary Localized Cutaneous Amyloidosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
OSMR mutations disrupt STAT5 signaling and AKR1B10‐mediated lipid metabolism, leading to lipid accumulation and protein aggregation in keratinocytes. This metabolic reprogramming drives amyloid deposition in primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, revealing a mechanistic link between lipid dysregulation and amyloidogenesis.

Altered expression of Alzheimer's disease-related proteins in male hypogonadal mice [PDF]

, 2012
Age-related depletion of estrogens and androgens is associated with an increase in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain pathology and diminished cognitive function. Here we investigated AD-associated molecular and cellular changes in brains of aged hypogonadal

A Robust Deep Temporal Causal Discovery Platform for Single‐Cell Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
scTIGER2.0 is a deep‐learning framework that infers gene regulatory networks from single‐cell RNA sequencing data. By integrating correlation, pseudotime ordering, deep learning and bootstrap‐based significance testing, it reduces false positives and reveals directional gene interactions.

The liver‐brain axis: A multidimensional regulatory network implicated in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and clinical implications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of the core pathways of the liver‐brain axis in regulating AD. The liver regulates cerebral Aβ deposition, tau phosphorylation, and neuroinflammation through pathways such as metabolic detoxification (urea cycle, ketone body metabolism, glutathione antioxidant system), molecular secretion (APOE, CRP, FGF21, IGF‐1), and Aβ clearance ...

Human cerebrospinal fluid 6E10-immunoreactive protein species contain amyloid precursor protein fragments.

PLoS ONE, 2019
In a previous study, we reported that levels of two types of protein species-a type of ~55-kDa species and a type of ~15-kDa species-are elevated in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of cognitively intact elderly individuals who are at risk for ...

Bleeding is increased in amyloid precursor protein knockout mouse

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Background Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is highly expressed in platelets. APP is the precursor to amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides that accumulate in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and plaques in Alzheimer disease.

Biophysical Characterization and Proteomic Analysis of Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Different Neural Cell Lines

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study systematically compares small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from four neural cell lines, revealing how cellular origin shapes vesicle biophysical properties and proteomic cargo. Distinct, lineage‐specific signatures linked to neuronal, astrocytic, and microglial functions are identified, highlighting the importance of cell source ...

A Physiological Role for Amyloid Beta Protein: Enhancement of Learning and Memory [PDF]

, 2008
Amyloid beta protein (A[beta]) is well recognized as having a significant role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The reason for the presence of A[beta] and its physiological role in non-disease states is not clear.
