Abstract

Lipid peroxidation is generally considered as primarily implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); one of its more reactive end products, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), has been shown to cause neuron dysfunction and degeneration. HNE production in the brain is stimulated by the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), whose excessive accumulation in specific brain areas is a hallmark of AD. Conversely, Aβ production is up-regulated by this multifunctional aldehyde. Findings reported here point to the ability of HNE and Aβ to interact, with consequent potentiation of Aβ's cytotoxicity as determined in vitro using neuron-like cells derived from human dental-pulp progenitor cells. Preincubation of cells with the aldehyde markedly up-regulated Aβ uptake and intracellular accumulation, by overexpressing two of the three components of the plasma membrane multireceptor complex CD36/CD47/β1-integrin: experimental and clinical data indicate that intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ is an early event possibly playing a primary role in AD pathogenesis. That HNE-mediated overexpression of CD36 and β1-integrin, which plays a key role in HNE's potentiating Aβ neurotoxicity, in terms of necrosis, was confirmed when this effect was prevented by specific antibodies against the two receptors.
