39 The novel amyloid-beta peptide aptamer inhibits intracellular amyloid-beta peptide toxicity*****☆

Xu Wang, Yi Yang, Mingyue Jia, Chi Ma, Mingyu Wang, Lihe Che, Yu Yang, Jiang Wu

Research Highlights:

○This study first inserted the amyloid β peptide Aβ binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) decoy peptide (DP) into the active sites of human thioredoxin (TRX) to construct the peptide aptamer TRX1-ABAD-DP-TRX2. Adeno-associated virus was used to allow its stable expression, which avoids multiple application of ABAD-DP and reduces synthesis cost.

○In vitro studies demonstrated that the peptide aptamer TRX1-ABAD-DP-TRX2 had an inhibitory effect on Aβ42 toxicity, which lays the foundation for ABAD-DP gene therapy in Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

○The findings confirmed the possibility to construct the TRX-based peptide aptamer using ABAD-DP, indicating that human TRX can stabilize the particular conformation of ABAD-DP and facilitate ABAD-Aβ interaction.

○ABAD-Aβ interaction may be important for potential Aβ-mediated mitochondrial and neuronal injury. Inhibition of their interaction may be a strategy for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
